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 Fox -50% healing passive is so powerful that (combined with the stats) these cards would almost still be stronger than anything released pre-2023 even if the special skill literally said “do nothing”

If your opponent (e.g.) has a healer that heals for 50%, then its kind of similar to “reduce the health of all enemies by 25%” every time the healer fires, which is crazy for a passive (its obviously not exactly the same as that since it doesnt apply to enemies that have full health, but still)

So yeah, its difficult for him not to be strong. The special skill is “fine”, its a good sized snipe and silence is always powerful. The minions are a minor nuisance. He’s not top tier and Whitefang is probably better, but combined with the passive, hes still really good. He kind of has anti-synergy with the other Foxes since the passive doesnt stack but if you dont already have a Fox then hes a great pull

And when paired with Lazara or Roc, etc., their healing goes to 0.

I like the fox minions, as they hit pretty hard. So, I kind of think this could be a nice anchor hero for the fox family. I suppose the buff stealing is not as strong as diochan’s minions stealong buffs, but they do not hit as hard.

Interestingly his card power is 1435 
so lower than Whitefang and Rust. :thinking:

I wonder if it’s another Prince Siegfried situation, where it was underpowered on release from other top family members, only to be corrected hours later. :person_shrugging:

What are thought on this one? Hit one and 3 turn silence at average seems just OK? Are the minions that powerful? I haven’t used a fox hero yet.
