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

• What exactly is a Gacha? (Read before posting things about "unfair pulls")

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.

[Mattia64]

Is this the first time a hero’s element has been changed since the beta?

[Star150m]

no, but it is very rare

kage used to be red in the beta and mitsuko was purple.

there may be more but that’s the ones i remember

[PlayForFun]

The hero card is updated with the changes.
Polls are enabled.

[Tidyup]

So why is snowball green and cinnamon blue from superpets? Feels like they both got their elements swapped

[Sternman]

Did anyone really like or hate this hero in Beta?
Seems like she could be a pain, but purely support and certainly not a finisher

[Blessed-I-Am]

LoL is this a good hero crazy question 250 attack down that can’t be cleansed and last the rest of the battle and 45% defense down this will be a great hero

[A-Sweden]

Attack and defense down are not mentioned in %

For example, 250 attack down in this one is 25% permanent attack down not 250% (if hero has 1000 in attack as example)

At least, this is how I read the card.

Happy gaming

[Blessed-I-Am]

Whatever it is it’s better then 0 attack down

[Rude]

I brought her up to level 85 full emblems… and still a bit squishy for me. I am not planning on going to the 2nd lvl LB for her at this time.

[A-Sweden]

Please share your experience so far.

Happy gaming

[Scrape]

First raid against Smarttongue.

Empires and Puzzles - first raid against Smarttongue (Goblin Hero) - YouTube

[Bandolivin]

dont know about this video - does it even belong in this thread when you do not even see this hero in action?

[Sternman]

@4-80: 949 Defense & 1668 HP, no emblems
@4-85: 1023 Defense & 1798 HP with no emblems

You say:

@Rude

I brought her up to level 85 full emblems… and still a bit squishy for me.

Those are among the stoutest pre-emblem 5* stats in the game at the moment.

I am genuinely curious, which heroes do you find “not squishy” and good enough to use?

Insights about why you believe what you believe would be helpful.

[notyou87]

Personally, i love my Smarttongue. Shes at level 84 right now.
We no longer need to fear heroes

[Tidyup]

@notyou87

Personally, i love my Smarttongue.

Yes, you have a smart tongue and you speak with intelligence

[notyou87]

Has anyone LB2 this Goblin? I have her at +20 and 85, I am considering her as my first LB2, and would love to see the exact stats

Edit:
I bit the bullet and to her to LB2, but I can’t level her as I need green Aether 1s

[JAWS_3D]

For heroes like Aramis, how does this passive get applied? Does he hit, boost health, and then get health reduction? I’m picturing it’s more like receives hit → reduces existing boosted health → Aramis gets boosted health from his special (so no impact on his boost if this is the first hit)

[panakun]

Currently LB1, and already has one of the top stats comparable to some of my other Lb2. This power creep ain’t no joke

posting for people seeking LB1 stats reference, I went shield path. Will provide LB2 stats ref once I get enough aether.
