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:

The problem I’m having with her is determining who she’d replace. I think Boots is still better, but maybe she can be used with him.

There are several other reds to compete with her though.

Throw her on the back burner till she’s relevant lol

Shes hella good. Def better than boots. Im thinking pair her with Bagreg.

I think Starswift would be a great tank flanking regular brienne, his passive which shares damage will proc her berserk to maximise attack. Would that be quite devastating on rush?

Interesting. Have you tested whether the shared damage increases attack up from Brienne?

Yes, I did try it with 5* s of similar skills. It does as berserk procs as long as it receives damage from normal/skill damage. Not sure about DOTs though
FYI, it will probably also stack with edelaide’s attack buff. And because starswift can’t miss now, he can hit with the berserk and that gambler stance attack together
It’s a shame no 3*s have the skills to buff skill damage yet

Barbarians are so six years ago😉

She is better than Boots or pretty much any red hero. She really hits like a truck
