Avoiding Overspending & Heartache

More Insights & Reading

I highly recommend reading these three threads for more information and context on summoning odds:

• How much should I spend?- HotM cost, and odds, analysis

• [WARNING] A Summons Experience - Chasing Guardian Panther - A Warning for Chasing Heroes

• What exactly is a Gacha? (Read before posting things about "unfair pulls")

If you’ve read them a million times before, you may consider reading them again before deciding on your budget for summoning. A little time spent deciding on how much money you want to risk on summoning goes a long way to avoiding disappointment, frustration, and regret later.

[Dessertrose]

[Kerberusz]

Okay. Let’s discuss those attributes. Isn’t it absolutely nonsense? There is one portal. Three featured characters at the very same time and then you realize poor Porthos, which is a slower character and arguably the least desirable has literally 15-20% less HP than those new ones.

Don’t kow if there is anything more frustrating when you pull get some “luck” aaand pull Porthos, when Rochefort and Cardinal Richelieu rape the poor blue guy.

[Tidyup]

His midsection is kind of chunky. It’s the same with aramis, they both have thick bodies

[sylvelliorFD]

Elbow and forearm look weird ;\

[Tidyup]

That’s just the loose clothing. He legit looks pregnant in this

[yorkaturr]

I did a 10-pull and got him and Richeliue. Not sure what to think of them yet, but Rochefort looks like a pretty straight-forward sniper. New Jove to replace my nerfed Jove?

[Fishy]

Of course I pull Porthos twice when I just want either of the 2 new heroes.

They really should only feature the 2 new heroes. They might as well have Graymane as the 3rd featured hero it’s almost as ridiculous with Porthos.

[Dpbb]

Can any one explained more about “defeat” - how it will affect when we kill one enemy, but they are revived due to talent or their skill?

[PlayForFun]

@JanG

No option for limit break twice?

Based on this comment I have checked the polls in this hero card too.
Option to LB2 was missing from the polls of this hero too.
So I have removed the earlier poll about LB from this hero too, and added the LB1, LB2 and no LB opttions instead.

Sorry for the inconvinience.

[Sternman]

This guy along with almost any decent sniper should cripple a team if they don’t wipe it out. Mix with Aramis and it should be insanely good (enemy is nigh dead and attacker is healed/overhealed).

This guy should play well with so many other heroes, a wrecking ball. Worth having two on offense and then hit with a hit three and the other team is gone (this assumes insane luck in summoning or very deep pockets).

Hugely impressed by this card, expect to suffer (more) bad losses raiding.

My Carmenta will have a new friend, alongside my Quintin and tetisheri
Hope to get him

[Sternman]

Fingers crossed for you and then hoping not to find you in my raids.

[Tidyup]

Hehe, but a scenario like this is more realistic on the offense side

[Kenzo]

Wonder if the nerf to the direct damage but buff in the damage effect was a good or bad thing?

[Tidyup]

It’s a good thing, because if he kills the target with the initial damage, that effect will not be applied. That’s why carmenta had her spread ailments moved to the first skill

[Dorkus]

Weird that Constance, Cardinal and Rochefort don’t habe the self-heal over time that was added to compensate for the cover passive and no healing from special skill.

I hope they move the heal over time to a passive, it would then be able to stack with other heal over time since it is usually a small amount per turn.

[L33tVortex12596]

Got lucky… bought the ws deal…got this guy…of course I wanted the cardinal…snipers are not exactly style…but hey. I’ll take the new goodness and appreciate it.

Good luck everyone!

[FraVit93]

SGG could make all heroes permanently relevant (even if still behind new released ones) but isn’t doing so by choice, they are in favor of selling stats increase with a few % points shifts in special skills because they lack creativity to give costumes anything new (most of the time at least)

A suggestion of mine from the Hero Balance sub:

@FraVit93

Stats boost: buff all released heroes of each rarity, base version included, 50 hero power lower compared to the highest released of their rarity tier, with monthly updates.
