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:

Where tf are the covenant quests?

I am not sure what i feel about this card. Its damage is pretty low considering how massively healthy the current defense cards are.
A trivial DOT that is easily cleansable/ easily blockable, a tickly damage to all and a very low elemental DD.
Not useful against Titans with that low EDD%
Not sure if this will be useful outside mono blue teams for raids.
Same for tournament. Can be useful in no heal tournaments with that speed and DOT, but there are way better blues.
It will be useful in events for the 1-2-3 punch.

I may be wrong as I have no experience in owning any Construct cards. But i don’t feel the excitement for this card.

Seems to be a good attack supporter for blue. Similar to Ray for scoria, for example, but with much better base stats.

Very fast. And his core is good for attack, a small hit is enough to slow down the opponent’s manna.

… if he fires his special

Basically a covenant Cinnamon, right?

Cinnamon is better at the EDD and bad at the rest just because of the speed/ stats.
This card can fire at a sneeze at a low EDD and some tickles. If the core is activated when he fires then that can be something interesting. Poison DOT and mana corruption.
This card is superior in every other way except EDD.

I wish they had kept the idea from beta. It was much more original, although not necessarily stronger than it is now…
