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:

Seems like pretty annoying tank. Though LNY bunny and Mistweaver will make short work of them. But still.

If this was buff immunity he would be so much more useful
But you use whatever the card offers. Immediately a mok arr combination will work well to infinite his healing

Used 49 coins and got 2 Kalevala 5* heroes plus 2 S1 and 1 HOTM. :star_struck:
He seems interesting, I’ll start working on him and see where the best he fits in my roster.

Looks like this guy got a slight buff in damage to 230% (from 200%), but I’m still undecided on how good he is - will have to wait for the polls :wink:

Just got him on my 14th EHT. I’m happy about it simply because Fire is one color I have less of than others. I don’t think he looks too bad.

Have to definitely be careful of who you put next to him because he would negate my Queen Gouwang and Tremor, as you want them being dispelled.

I think being a fighter will bring a huge advantage through his passive ability , revive himself for the first time,and then adding 15% health and 15 % mana!
Can’t wait to level him up!

Seems pretty underwhelming on paper. His damage is rather low, -attack is one of the weaker ailments and heal over time isn’t that great to begin with, especially since it’s only for nearby allies. I don’t expect to see him in any top defence teams and can’t really think of a use for him. It seems like his only gimmick is to prevent stacking ice against him as tank, but you can work around that by not bringing ice heroes.

Not impressed. Pulled him unfortunately instead of Kullervo, whom I use all the time. I’d rather have pulled the other 5* red. This guy’s damage is too low and I’ve always seen heal/buff for “self and allies” as weak compared to AOE. The attack down is the best part I think as it’ll make him harder to kill, but it won’t make him worth leveling for me.

He should fast. If still average speed. Damage should 300%.

  • the all allies recover 618 HP over 3 turns. The effect duration is reset if the status effect owner is hit with direct damage from a Special Skill.
  • The all allies are immune to buff dispels for 3 turns.

this hero is really ridiculous!! @Petri

Ridiculous is him paired with Ludwig, this hero is completely OP and the duo will break the game. How will u dispell Ludwig Taunt after he goes off?

I agree, he is good with taunt heroes, especially with ludwig. and other with annoying buffs. On it’s in own he doesn’t seem very impressive, but in the right combination he can be great.

I wonder if The Hatter would work as a counter? He steals buffs, he doesn’t dispell.

all heroes will shine next to Ludwig (if Ludwig can turn on his skills, then the left and right heroes will shine).
than to keep him beside ludwig. I’d rather put a hero who shoots AOE with great damage. then the game will be 80% complete.

this hero (Ukkonen) is OP?? Come on buddy. For God Sake. Like as the beta tester said Laselle too OP in a bloody tournament. but in the top 100 defense bloody tournament. you can’t see the nose of the seahorse.

if you feel this skill * The caster and nearby allies are immune to buff dispels for 3 turns. he is good. you better use Brynhild at fast speed and heal your Ludwig

I wondered if he might be a viable solution to enhance Thunderclap, whose buffs are easily dispelled. While he indeed „guards“ the damage part of Thunderclaps ability against dispell, his heal over time unfortunately overwrites Thunderclaps Overheal-Over-Time. So he is not the ideal companion for the ape…

He does quite a few things. AoE damage, AoE attack down, HoT to 3, dispel protection for 3. Sobek does 295% but essentially nothing else besides bypassing defensive debuffs.

He’s okay, especially as a red tank, especially with that passive that gets him restore HP and MP from critical health. Rarely see red tanks these days though (unless it’s Hathor).

Interesting you brought this up because i have only seen him once so far in top 100 and he was tank with tremor as left flank. I agree with your statement so this confuses me.
Also if using as tank would you go shield path? I’m about to give him my fighter emblems and i want to choose correctly. Tyvm in advance.

Yeah, I don’t know why anyone would put Tremor next to him. Makes no sense. As for path, I’m personally going a blended route with this one, once I get more emblems. My fighter emblems currently are going towards Waterpipe
