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:

I don’t have a good slow purple for rush. This one could be interesting

Sadly they removed the defense buff but I guess he could still be OK in rush.

Sir Casmir didn’t need to be nerfed, at all…

Considering some of the slow purples on my bench, he has much better stats than Sneferu and somewhat better stats than Madame Giry, but as a damage dealer is both risky and unreliable, so I guess the main perks are cleanse + reflect for 3. Might work for fast wars as a support hero in some cases, but I’m trying to imagine what those cases might be.

I bet this special works like Dodge and Revive. Use him on attack and he barely fires. Meet him in a defence line-up and hes popping off hits constantly.

He might have good synergy with Bearnadette and moonflower.

Got 2 blue hotm and 2 dog and guy hotms for my mini account. Really wanted only one out of those 4. I really want this hotm, suits my playstyle… so most likely not going to come my way

He’s not as mediocre as HOTM use to be but that DEF buff shouldn’t be removed. :neutral_face:

His damage is situational and easy to avoid.

This is the same situation with Moonflower. Not good and slow to top it off. even worse, he has to be hit before he can go off. Makes for an easy target…if he goes off

I dunno, having to hold your specials after moonflower fires (guaranteed hit) can make or break you if you arent prepared for it.

This guy really plays upon the gambling aspect. Do you risk him going after you? Especially on defense im sure this guy will randomly hit the hero you need the most to fire. And usually these kind of attacks bypass counterattacks so he likely wont hit himself

I wonder how his “Mana on Health Recovery”. It says 5% mana per HP recovery. It doesn’t state that it works only once per turn, so I assume it works each time he’s healed. Now, some heroes heal multiple times with their specials or statuses they apply, for example Shaal heals 6 times if she hits 5 heroes and has some charge in Core. Does this mean that Sir Casmir gets 30% mana if Shaal uses her special under these conditions? This would make Casmir a nice flank to Shaal, potentially.

I haven’t wanted a hotm for awhile, wanted him because of his special, medieval fan, I like his artwork, and just got him. I think he has a very nice, underrated type of special. I think he’ll be fun on offense but more useful on defense. He also has pretty decent current meta stats. I’ll take him to 3-70, still waiting on leveling Demilune, but i think he’ll be fun and usable on raids at that point to get a clearer picture. I’ll update post at that time.

On defense the threat is pretty much the same as Moonflower. If I see Moonflower on defense, he’s usually my last target, because he poses the least threat. Granted, the snipe might hurt a lot more than a weak aoe attack, but still he only has a 50% chance of doing it and you’d need to be really dry on heroes to 2LB this guy.

I would rather a concentrated snipe than a weak AOE like moonflower

He’s interesting as he’s kinda like a reverse darkfeather with his damage.
Problem is he doesn’t have recovery on his own, although phenexa will solve this issue and compliment his skills even more.

Roughian had that 5% on heal. You get get 15% chunks with leadria and hulda minions… But that still feels really slow.
