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:

Hi @PlayForFun , Sorry, But from the beta, a line of the Special Skill is missing,that is to say:

Reduces by 3 turns the duration of status effect buffs on all enemies.

Hmm, it seems it is missing from the Beta Beat topic too.
I have just checked my Beta images.
I am adding it to here and there too.

At least, we can try copy him with Loki

I got “lucky” and pulled this guy today. Is he worth the effort and mats? Seems like he’d only be good for rush.

Well yeah. Since he’s a monk, he can get to 9 tile matches with the right emblems, troops and a bard. He has one of the most powerful aoe hits in the game and effectively acts as both a dispeller and a cleanser. In addition his passives for mana reduction immunity and mana gain upon ailment are both great. I’d say he’s borderline overpowered, rush or not.

/edit: Actually I just realized he’s stuck at 10 tiles since he obviously doesn’t have a costume for the lacking +5% to get to +34% mana gain (unless you pair him up with some HOTM with element link or indeed some hero with +mana gain on special). Still doesn’t change the rest of my argument.

He’s incredibly strong. His damage is on par with Khufu’s (actually even higher due to the stats), and Theodosius does not require the chain. Heroes like Edwin or Belladonna will not block him from cleansing or dispelling. And it provides buffs and debuffs. It is incredibly versatile and powerful.

Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate y’all taking the time to share your thoughts.

I’m moving him to the front of the line. I have plenty of Tonics, Monk emblems and LB aethers.

He would be much better if the buff reduction had priority. On defense, he has no good way to deal with taunters. I got lucky and got him on a ten pull, but it seems he is going to be an offense-only hero. I’ll level him, but not sure if him or Verus should get the tonics.

Got super lucky and pulled both featured heroes on a free coin.

It seems that everybody’s oppinion is: “big attack, but why slow?” While his utility is brand new, expiring buffs and ailments simultaneously although not actually cleansing and dispelling has pros and cons.

Pros: uncleansables and undispellables are affected & effects that do damage when removed don’t activate
Con: you can have turns of duration left so the effect is not removed instantly

Everybody’s second oppinion is that “debuff is not priority”, while that was an OP feat that came out a while ago, very quickly people get used to it after a handful of heroes with priority dispell and now the expectation is for you to be the most absolute OP hero the moment you exist or be trash

I don’t know about y’all but the majority of the time I can’t kill a slow hero before they fire if they have a maxed legendary troop. Unless you put him in a wing position. Seems like an excellent guy to me.

Oh and the translation in Swedish is horrid. It says he reduces duration of buffs of nearby allies. I don’t know how the guy in charge of checking that stuff still has a job. Also mentions 3 round instead of 3 rounds in two places.

You think people in this company get fired for a bad vocabulary.
The game devs have made so many mistakes so bad that the company should have been shut long back.
The card on the other hand is really powerful and when he fires it can be potentially light out when it is mid game in the fight.

This hero also counters the nonsense that’s toons as it bypasses their dispel shield

If that status effects reduction had priority he would be too OP

18

Well it’s at least the third time a character is way less powerful in the Swedish translation and errors in heroes may affect sales. By the time you notice it the portal may be gone (The vast majority of errors can be found in quest dialogue which really doesn’t matter too much).

Jove as an example said his special hits target and nearby. I didn’t reflect on it since it was powerful like that too. When in reality he hits everyone and I didn’t realize that until I met him in a raid.

This guy now says he will reduce duration of all buffs by 3 to the ones flanking him. Sounds like someone you could skip and wait for next goblin portal.

Here he is all dressed up and ready for war!
