Family Bonus

Ninja Heroes have a family bonus for unique heroes of the same family.

Ninja Family
Bonus for 1 / 2 / 3 Heroes:

• 5% / 10% / 15% chance to dodge normal attacks and Special Skills
• 5% / 10% / 15% chance to counterattack with 60% / 90% / 120% of the damage received

The two effects have individual sequential processing. So one may not trigger while the other might.

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

• https://forum.smallgiantgames.com/t/what-exactly-is-a-gacha-read-before-posting-things-about-unfair-pulls/29490?u=playforfun

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.

[Shyam]

Wow to burn damage … Really a fantastic hero. I will try to get. Cheers

[Nightmare2048]

5 tiles for 200% damage coming from almost 900 atk and ~170 burn per turn on top. And you can’t heal afterwards. The less is said about the next charges, the better.

[Grimmson]

Yep, exactly why i didnt buy any gem offers this month so far. I won’t even buy the Atlantis gem offers as i always did for the last two years or so. It simply is enough.

Every two weeks there is a New wave of Power creep that Out shines the last one by far and even super rare event heroes from earlier Times are worthless to These Heroes.

Maybe the devs will learn that a game won’t be “alive” with only a few whales left to play it or maybe it will just die soon. I fear it won’t end Well…

[leaponover]

@Grimmson

offers

Can’t believe you have been wasting money on Atlantis offers all this time. Atlantis hasn’t been worth summoning for in ages.

[Grimmson]

Sorry, wrong wording, i only bought one Atlantis offer, the one with 400 gems and 25 coins, four Times, because it was one of the cheapest Gem per Euro offers in Game.

I didnt buy anything else from Atlantis

[leaponover]

Ahh, okay. I see. Yeah, Atlantis seems like a waste, but small purchase here and there to top off seem okay. I even bought 25 coins just because I was so close, but would never buy the big bundle for Atlantis. Will continue to be that way if they never update the costume bonus.

[NoRecesso]

It seems a very good hero and that’s it. It’s not a game breaker at first sight (let’s see how it comes from the Beta to V54)

It’s fantastic hit all with 290% at 6 tiles.

I want to see more of this hero first

I think that the other new ninja are more deadly since they can make a significant damage and fiends.

[Wibble]

1st charge damage is only 160% in my game. I was thinking of reporting a bug since the other new ninjas are 200% and see 200% listed here… so is it actually a bug? lol

[Gaia]

compared to other new ninja. the red one is the weakest…
1st charge should 200%.

[Star150m]

his burn makes up for it

also his attack stat is almost 900 without anything.
he is very strong as is. glad they reduced him and the others

[Yomagn-tho]

Not a bug, do not report.

All of the new hit-all ninja had their damage reduced. Serandite was reduced further, but as @Star150m said the Burn more than makes up for it.

Glad they reduced the damage for these new ones, now they are very much desirable without being as outright OP as they were.

[Arxon]

I got this nice hero. Just wish she had at least 360% in third charge and mayby a chanse for extra damage or something. Burning can be easily dispel.

[vanZille]

was wondering about her being male or female, have her too, youre sure she is a girl?

[Arxon]

Well thats a good question haha. Judging from eyebrows pony tail and name I assume it’s a ‘‘she’’.

[vanZille]

i looked at her/his hands and nails, they dont look too female
Difficult one

But looks a bit like a girlfriend when you come home drunk, trying to sneak in and getting a flaming arrow instead of love and lunch

[Yomagn-tho]

@Arxon

and name

Feminine aye?

Anyway I haven’t chased any hero for a long time but I did with Serandite because I wanted Costumed Gravemaker since he was first released and never got him. I got her! (or him!) (or mineral deposit!).

[dez82]

I’m imagining a 3-2 stack with Serandite, Zhabog, Matilda, Erlang and i don’t know who else. Serandite’s burn is cleansable but with Erlang, if they want to cleanse…its DEMORALIZING lol! Also with Matilda and Zhabog constantly refreshing ailments…i guess the counter would be good old El Radir!

[Yomagn-tho]

Nice setup Dez! I am partial to 3-2 with Fire and Holy already, but if I had Erlang Shen that would be the icing on the top. I generally run Hypnos-Rhys-Motega-Ruby-and either Emilio or El Duque depending. Will be incorporating Serandite as well. Should work well with Emilio, basically continuous Fire DoT along with healing!
