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:

Feel free to discuss your team and roster here, and ask for advice from other Forum members.

Let’s hope the Damage amp stack is buffed. Even if it’s to 7% it’s something to consider

Looks like a budget titan hero to me. Not sure about that stack elsewhere

Nice budget hero.

  • High speed
  • Good damage/speed ratio
  • Useful passives for Titans and Raid
  • Good Stat-Distribution
  • Alpha power synergizes nicely
  • Easy to obtain

Only downside to me:

  • sniper

The All Damage stack appears to stack (lol) with the regular All Damage debuff (eg Hammertusk)

3 Likes

Yeah, that’s normal, all effects from stacks are independent and don’t overwrite with regular status effects. You can see that on defense stacks from Bastet’s dodge, mana slow stacks from Skadi etc. Stacks also never expire, which makes Turgruk more valuable even if his damage increase is lower.

He also got a minor buff, on first special skill he gets extra +50% of damage instead of +30%.

I like him. Good art, good and unique skill, decent passives (especially blind resist) and decent class for a sniper. Will be good friend with Khonshu and Goretooth.

Stack with G-Panther and she’s doing 1200 HP damage. Can take out a tank or flank in one stack. I can definitely find a use for her.

Surprised there isnt more chat about this hero. Very fast speed with damage increase ailment… Sign me up!
Although the damage increase ailment is low, it is a stack. It wont reset and can only grow.

He will be a stud for titans, events, and solid on offense. Not a the best on defense, but viable if you have no better options.

I’ll maxed her. She is very usefull. And mostly because I don’t have a top tier hero to work on.
