More Insights & Reading

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

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. :slight_smile:

I’m glad this one isn’t overpowered, but if they make her average mana and adjust the numbers, she should give fiends to all and not be broken.

I’m sure this guy is strong, but it doesn’t scream goblin hero. No wither/growth, no MMs. You can slap this skillset on any hero out there and it still works

That’s it, exactly! It doesn’t belong in the portal, kinda like Kettle though. If they added wither to this hero, maybe that would change my perception of it, but the way it works now, it really isn’t a goblin.

Looks like they’ve slapped wither on this guy, so more consistent with goblins now. He’s now pretty lethal since his fiends now dish 1269-1701 (max if 2LB and emblembed) to target and nearby :thinking:

I tried some pulls but no luck…did get a duplicate Pepperflame/Smartounge so no complaints. Although a new project would have been nice.
Good luck everyone

This feels less like an homage and more like plagiarism.

For further examples see Brimstone and the Goza demon dogs from Ghostbusters.

Someone at SG is a fan of the 80s.

Have you seen the AI image thread where people build AI images of the current heroes?

This artwork could easily be a AI image they have created for free by writing some simple prompts.

They missed a trick not having him spawn additional fiends if he takes water damage.
