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:

This one looks like a ton of fun

I have updated the OP. It seems it is almost completly redesigned.

So this one is essentially the Hathor but he actually fits with the family and is faster? So the creators are fully aware of the problem they created and are actively contributing to the issue, knowing the disparity that will further ensue. Cool.

yes totally different I prefered the previous version who was really unique, and rare counter to negative stacks from passive of Magic Heroes…

Here it is just a different kind of Hathor… oh well still usable of course but less original

Hmm. Making hathor redundant and now the game Dev’s are officially asking the playing base to f off with this abomination of a card. So the meta will continue to be journey teams.
I would love this card to tank because I use dark in my standard offense. Its either toon dom and toon obakan for their damage against yellow. Or toon dom and acid for the wither. I use these 2 combos to manage toon Viv vaishali and Shall that’s found everywhere.

A complete change in his skills. I wonder what was the reason

I assume his mana generation stack was way too overpowered for Tower Events.

This is just a kind of a Hathor variant, but there will be an astral elf, melodymuse that’s literally a carbon copy of Hathor. I think he is actually more of a meg giry variant than hathor

12

Shame, I actually wanted him for the stacks. Which is good, won’t be pulling him anymore

I was waiting & waiting for this one and now he is a completely different card :rage: maybe I won’t even try for him now :triumph: I have duplicate Hathor so… :roll_eyes: whatever…
Good luck everyone!

It will be a mess of a hero if they went with the original. Better to change it now and not having to deal with the absolute imbalance of this hero

I appreciate the weird heroes, which he was. Now he’s boring, but useful. But boring

If only the mana stack is OP, why don’t they just rework it to a 2/3%? This is just a completely different card now
2% maybe would have knocked it down to a strong card, but certainly not broken
If such a major change is implemented, we should have been notified way earlier and not wait until the eleventh hour to know these major changes

Still a VF over healer with cleanse which is nice, but with already having Sha and scorpion queen, probably won’t be pulling this portal now

Edit: didn’t even notice it’s only the most recent ailment that gets cleansed. even less reason to pull now

Have the devs ever watched Journey to the West? How could this guys be VF? He was riding the horse all the time, the weakest link, and always slowed down the whole group lol.

The only thing he was good at is giving the Monkey a headache and whoever could eat him would live forever.

He should be an Aegir and Gazelle combined at best cause if he died his surroundings should suffer too.
