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:

Interesting special. He is swan maiden without the drawback of not allowing buffs on his teammates

But only to three really stinks

If it’s to all he’s crazy OP

Agree, the effects are generally nice, but only to 3 is meh, especially at Average speed

My only construct hero so far, so I am hoping to use this one to really get to grips with the construct core mechanic

For buff booster that’s a nightmare tank/flank.

The main part of the special is to three but the healing core is to all so if at defensive tank in 3* arena should have a 25% heal to all fairly often which is excellent, the dodge for the middle three will improve the chance of survival and if the two flanks hit hard the crit boost will do wonders.

Can see this hero as a serious PITA if facing off against them.

The design where flanks are healed and protected almost forces a tank role. The Healing core is a massive improvement on all previous heroes that had nearby only specials.

Has tank potential, he is meant to annoy the enemies. Flank with double dawns and this will become a nightmare
An owl hero with owl minions lol

I like it. :+1:

A lot. :star_struck:

Since minions can crit, being loaded up on mana-cutting minions, dodging damage the DoT from this is tremendous. Dawn also cleanses nearby so you get some good cleansing just in case the enemy is able to fire.

More mana cutting in the wings (Toon Gan Ju and Azar for example) or newer hitters? Hmmm.

Maybe Rustbeak cuts the Holy line…yep, think so…

Yup, that’s exactly the line of thinking.

He has the guin tank vibe going on

Thanks @MagicBunjee and @Sternman for pointing out the usage on defense - not something I typically prioritise, but you’ve spelled out the applications quite well!

I am not a fan of heal-3 but this one has also repair core, healing whole team potentially up to 25%. Would be great tank imho.

Went Defense/HP path for emblems (figured the main heal is a flat number so a tank with good defense is helpful).

When Aegir was released it was the highest defense in the game at 815… whoosh. I was mesmerized by that defense stat.

Did the same.

Also noticed only now that its special makes also dodge regular attacks. Now I like him even more. Stoked more about this mechanical owlet than about Carta, lol.

This hero is well thought out, the person at SG in charge of chaperoning this one into the game deserves a promotion along with a good raise!!

Also, really, really cool art. An all around win for players proving that SG CAN do a good job IF they want to.

I got this little guy yesterday, is this one [still] worth maxing? I always like 3* events and tournaments.

Edit:
Wait, can his regenerated health exceed max? Or no? It doesn’t specify it can, so I assume no?

his pasive yes and special no

Yes, still brings a lot to the table and looks great while doing so.

If you have two solid 3* hitters for Rustbeak’s flanks you have a great combo. The heal core is not quite enough to ensure the other two heroes will be healed when you are attacking, much easier when Rustbeak is a defending tank where tiles will charge the core.

I love him in the 3* tournaments although RB is not the answer in all situations, the middle three are formidable. No Dark Rush and Buff Booster are tailor made for Rustbeak on defense, when attacking a holy tank it will depend on your pairings alongside Rustbeak.
