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 how now we are attacking MM with health reduction. Curious :thinking:

Feels like this would be one of the best heroes in the game for the average player because it just does so much – anti-dances, anti-minoins, dispell, bard, damage

Maybe not quite specialised enough to be absolutely top tier though

with her reduced minion health and 80% lowering of healing, she seems like pretty much the perfect costume diaochan counter if nothing else, but those are becoming semi common now

Got Her! :slightly_smiling_face:

Its mostly to counter W3K minions as they cant be removed.
I assume she works in tandem with Ninjas?

No bonus hero for me, but I’m still happy to get her. I face so many W3K minion teams it’s nice to have a another tool to use against them.

Good hero with great passives to counter the current minion and mega minion summoners. Nice art also! Good job :slight_smile:

She is fantastic, but why on earth is she a cleric?!

Von Rothbart is useful against this hero’s passives; after 1 turn the cursed hero will suffer 1700 damage…ouch…
