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:

Feel free to discuss your team and roster here, and ask for advice from other Forum members.

So a less attractive Mitsuko with updated stats and a worse third ability. Cool… Did the developers forget that Neith existed?

Does this

Apply to skills such as mindless heal or attack or is just more for Silence, etc…?

Better than Mitsuko, IMO, unless you need the blue reflect. Hits harder, blind is more general purpose than blue reflect, elemental link is good, passives are excellent, and class is better.

The bump to +10% mana in the elemental link is VERY nice, this becomes enticing and can see that helping in most stacks with 3 or more reds (titans, tournaments, some raids, etc).

Resisting Special Skill Blocking is becoming common after a period of top notch mindless attack/healing/mana cutters/silencers.

One of the first HotMs in a while that can look some of the paywall heroes in the eye without being embarrassed (emphasis on some, not the top tier).

I kike this hero and I have plenty of emblems for him! Hope to summon him!
Mana reduction, blind, and damage. I like utility heroes like this, they usually last long on my roster.

12

You missed the number of turns for accuracy debuff, it’s 4 turns instead of 3.

Actually quite decent HotM. Mana controller that cannot be silenced? Yes please.

Another red healer, happy dayz!

Yes, you are right,
I have updated the turn count.

FYI - SG took away the ability of target and nearby heroes (hit 3) to hit all opponents in formations back in V42.
You mentioned that this HotM could potentially hit all opponents in a W formation which was true for a brief (glorious) moment after formations were introduced. Think it was just a slip of the tongue as you remembered the halcyon days.

If anything he looks to me like low-budget Cupido. Similar damage (10% less than Cupido), one passive that is identical, and Cupido prevents specials with Mindless Healing while Skargemar drains some mana and inflicts some accuracy down even if enemy manages to charge, though that is useless against support heroes. Skargemar gets better class and extra passive, while Cupido has better family bonus.

Would like Cupido, but this guy will do. That Silence and Mindless immunity will be handy, especially with C-Alf behind corner.
