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.

[Blessed-I-Am]

Nice hero’s would love him but I’m taking a break from pulling got a lot of projects to work on

[Tidyup]

Used quite effectively on defence to trap dispellers/cleansers

[Zartanis]

@PlayForFun I noticed the header is incorrect as he is Ice / Blue, but currently is Fire / Red.

[L33tVortex12596]

@PlayForFun

The caster and nearby allies have 50% chance to drop any received damage to 1 for 4 turns. If this effect is dispelled, it dispels buffs from all enemies.

This looks interesting … It might be a little tricky to manipulate.
Good luck to those who try for this one!

Edit: tried some pulls …little more than 100 in all and no 5* except dupe HotM… this portal has never been friendly to me so I will save whats left for another.

[Ufeel]

Can Mizuko reflect every attack/ailments from Satori ?

[Velk]

At first summon

[RedKnarf]

German translation reads „Tausend-Palmen-Schläge“ (thousand palm tree strikes) instead of „Tausend Schläge“ or „Tausend Ohrfeigen“ or something similar… confusing Palm and Palm tree is a classic mix up when translating, still quite funny here.

[VFROOD]

He’s no legend but i call this humor… palm in dutch is a tree too. Palm van je hand or handpalm would be better translations.

[Tidyup]

Only applies to cleanse and dispel as a special skill. Cleanse/dispel from passives don’t count towards the extra damage

[PlayForFun]

Thx, I have fixed it.

I have also adjusted the changes in the hero cards.

Polls are now also enabled.

[Pr0spero]

This is literally E. Honda from Streetfighter. Even the special. Wow.

[Enoikos11]

Not strong enough, this hero needs a buff!

[MountainMann]

Nice, time to get to leveling
30 pull score ( only good card of the 30)

[marki]

:(((((((((((((
he do 275% to all (plus 30 % from passive so 300% to all)
hit double all dispellers and cleanse heroes
and for 4 turns he and nearby have 50% to do not get hit
and he have great ODBIJA POZIV stats
3 pasive ability

is even posible to ask more for this hero?

hope is just sarcasm your comment

[notyou87]

I think you missed the sarcasm in the post

[Basil]

This guy has more passive abilities/bonuses than most of the heroes have as their special skill abilities.

Now, after Honda, i’m waiting for a ChunLi champion hero (they already have the design, that fake Vivica from some offer pop-up)

[marki]

i hope

[NoRecesso]

Let’s wait for Cammy as well
