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.

+50% chance to dodge Special Skills. Each dodge damages the attacker for 1600 damage.

What the madness is this? We know they will dodge 99% of the time with 50% chance.

Also your first line of the special you wrote “surgace” instead of “surface”

[Chadmo]

Sticky…Slimy…Steals. I can think of another choice S word that fits as well.

[Nightmare2048]

Slippery? 20 characters of Off-Balance.

[Chadmo]

Sheet, missed it by a flush.

[Dr_Evil_Genius]

Massively OP.

More specials and passives that punish the player for playing the game. More people will be leaving E&P as this type of hero continue to release and become more prevalent.

[Soulwarden]

Makes those new ninja heroes look tame.

Disgusting, seriously disgusting - one of the most OP heroes I’ve seen.

Literally, if they dodge twice, you die on top of the countless mega minions he’s going to spawn and renew to himself, and nearby when he dies… if he dies.

If he is not tamed and nerfed before release this is wild.

[r3vo]

We need a diamond plus league where all those OP stuff can happen for the whales, this is just madness! For all FTP or normal spenders this is seriously getting out of hand. How do you want to compete against such monsters that obliterate your heroes with ease?!

[Brergr]

Good job SG hit all will get 6400dmg even thickest hero will dead instantly

[mogulemon]

No worries, he’ll be released as it is, and nerfed later after they got enough money, and those who get him will receive apologize letter “he is stronger than intendeded and here 1 world flask for your compensation, thank you for chasing him and keep spending for another OP heroes, cya”

[IgH]

Beta feedback unanimously stated that the 1600 damage per dodge was way too much. That SG went ahead and released her anyway does not bode well.

On top of that, SG modified her from beta to give her an upfront 50% heal which will keep the team alive longer, and more likely than not, block tile damage.

While the dance buff is vulnerable should she be taken out, this is easier said than done with her substantial bulk, immediate 50% heal, and 51% HP mega minion anytime she takes over 25% of her total HP as damage.

I fully expect a nerf and would therefore recommend refraining from spending for this one until SG figures out the right balance.

[Samantha7]

Just pulled him or her on a few tokens from path of… so i’m happy she is as mad as she looks. Lol.

[Cassian]

Could you share her full image?

[Samantha7]

Oh come on, this is ridiculous. First of all, only a small number will get this hero, secondly…have you tested him?

[Samantha7]

[KeeSnow]

Got her from some saved coin pull… was planning to toss in all coins but she came at pull #9. Still no HOTM though.

How in the world do you defeat this hero?
