More Insights & Reading

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

If youā€™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:

Looks interesting. Surely he wonā€™t be as much Scathed as Tenebrae *BA-DUM-TSS*.

Slow hero, he must be hit durring 3 turns or he dont do nothing. Maybe the weakest construct one. Just good stats. Hopping for buff :wink:

His low AoE was replaced by massive, unremovable and fast HoT in addition to Repair Core. The Riposte and damage storing buff makes him good tank. Heā€™s now kind of 5* Gullinbursti without overheal (though he does have that on Repair Core) and without increasing attack damage from that damage-storing buff. Surely better than Tenebrae.

However there are so many purple 5* better situated for tanks (Aramis, Shacklebolt, Luna, Darkfeather, Ludwig, C2-Obakan ā€¦) that he really isnā€™t essential. Cool but not needed.

Wow that 2lb hp is 2.6k, not yet factored in any legendary troops.

The hero card is updated with the changes.

Slow so As useful as its name implies

Another big slow hero nobody needs. Not even interesting for rush, because there are many more interesting heroes already available. Maybe we can spin it into a positive and say SG has released a hero for FTP accounts that is not OP and makes nobody waste money.

With half of the heroes in the portal not interesting, I am glad itĀ“s the 3rd covenant portal in a row I have no interest in wasting money on :smiley: Already have saved up 15 pulls for a day when there is a strong covenant portal.

would have been a cool taunt hero - or why not make him average speed

imo this is the weakest of constructs - very bad hero
tenebrae is way better ( shes fast at least)

Dont know, in theory when activates he can obliterate whole team. Waiting to see him live in battle. His stats are sick

There is green construct in the making that has Taunt and this mechanic ā€¦ but itā€™s also slow and Taunt lasts 3 turns, and when you have Ludwig ā€¦

Whoever underestimating this guy will experience a shock in fast wars and other events coz of unremoveable features :slight_smile:

not really much of a threat because the attacker can avoid him for 3 turns or do low damage to him.

his class makes him easy to block before he fires too

if he was a monk heā€™d be better
i also think his counterattack should be undispellable and lasts for 5 turns

right now he is ok because of his stats but that will be outdated quickly

HoT canā€™t be dispelled, but I still can bring in C-Perseus or even better, Mistweaver/Xiaotu, for him to not heal or even take damage instead of healing each round. Also, by the time heā€™s ready Timius or other buff blockers should be ready as well, and this guy is nothing without buffs.

So what? HeĀ“s a tile dump. If I see him as a tank anywhere I am happy, but I am sure IĀ“ll never get that lucky.
Let him do his thing, let him heal, itĀ“s not even overheal, so he can fire early on do his thing for 3 turns which is exactly nothing while I charge my heroes and after 3 turns when he is done, I am ready to fire.

He looks fantastic. Iā€™d love to use him next to Nautica

Why did i even pull in this portal? Scath? Not interested, Cinderella less interested, the red fiend guy? Definitely not, i have brimstone the cardinal domiventus sparklight, and need cleric emblems for othersā€¦ i did want nautica ive been chasing him since release and the elephant tooā€¦

And i get this waste of roster space. Scath

Boo :-1:

I never ever pull the top left featured, it never happens, til they feature a brand new garbage hero then wouldnt you know it lolā€¦

Yeah, this is first Covenant portal I am skipping after quite some time. Cindy is nice but not essential, Black Caesar is okay but nothing special, Scath has the same problem as LNY Ox, the best heroes - Nautica and Guardian Elephant - are already in my roster as I was lucky to get them, so the only interesting thing here for me is Tametomo and I sure as hell wonā€™t pull in Covenant because of a single hero. Plus not a single Super-Elemental hero, which I want the most.

There are many better heroes to be used next to Nautica, such as Shacklebolt or Guardian Elephant. Or that Green Dodgey Monk. And Nautica herself provides more than enough heal through her special and Repair Core.
