	Fiend Resist	At the start of each battle, this Hero is immune to new Fiends for 6 turns. In battles with multiple waves, the effect is refreshed at the beginning of each wave.

Special Skill has a different effect when charged with 100%/200% mana: 1x Mana Charge: Summons an Enchanted Sigil Minion for each ally with 15% HP and 20% attack inherited from the caster. When summoned, the Enchanted Sigil Minion gives +20% mana generation for its owner for as long as the owner has Enchanted Sigil Minions. This effect can’t be dispelled. 2x Mana Charge: Summons a Cursed Sigil Field to all enemies. The Fiend damages its target with 100% attack every turn. The Cursed Sigil Fiend absorbs healing.

When summoned, the Cursed Sigil Fiend give -38% mana generation for its owner for as long as the owner has Cursed Sigil Fiends. This effect can’t be cleansed.

Avoiding Overspending & Heartache

More Insights & Reading

I highly recommend reading these three threads for more information and context on summoning odds:

• How much should I spend?- HotM cost, and odds, analysis

• [WARNING] A Summons Experience - Chasing Guardian Panther - A Warning for Chasing Heroes

• https://forum.smallgiantgames.com/t/what-exactly-is-a-gacha-read-before-posting-things-about-unfair-pulls/29490?u=playforfun

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.

Five star Anastasia. As useful as she is, I’m sure this one will be solid.

[Vandermar1979]

Now if this hero had 200% to all like Anastasia I’d be more excited. The added -35% mana generation is nice though.

[2puttshaqur]

This guy really doesn’t do anything for me. 20% mana boost is fine… but it doesn’t do enough… 24% reduces 1 tile… Though i forget what speed. I did the math with mielikki, and while he is faster, he’s not appreciably better… Basically the live cold between Elizabeth and mielikki… Which is a video i would rent on the 90s… But not today… Not today.

[Bandolivin]

Sure he will get a buff on release

[Tidyup]

This is pretty much anatasia without her skill damage. Mielikki’s father and Elizabeth’s son

[Vandermar1979]

Big time changes. 2nd charge fiends do 100% attack…and absorbs 60% of max health. Wow

[Bangputys]

One pull for 300 diamonds…

[PlayForFun]

I have adjusted the OP with the buffs.
Polls are now enabled.

[drdare]

Those fiends are damn fat and damages pretty ok. Not a game breaker but can be useful.

[BuffOlderHeroes]

They wont ever stop increasing base stats right… all portals are all messed up jokes at this point.

[Radar1]

This will break the game at some point, it is ridiculous seeing heroes in battles with 1500 defense/attack and 2200+ hp.

[BuffOlderHeroes]

In my opinion it is broken already. Funny how you can double limit break some heroes and they wont get 1100 atk. Others just maxed can get almost 1200.

Lol. We all know newer heroes must be appealing, but it could be done with newer/hard to counter skills. No need of automatic win by number hacking. Choices.

[2puttshaqur]

This guy is a liability on defense… If he summons minions… I have skadi… If he sends fiends i have Arco the only thing he does well is the negative mana stacks…

But… I’m willing to be proven wrong.

[A-Sweden]

I don’t see this hero as “automatic win”, not even close. High stats but underwhelming and depending on minions.

Two questions:

Will the mana stack from minions or fiends? I guess not. Then more that one minion is just meat shield.

Will lunar heroes makes the minions useless? I guess yes.

Happy gaming

[Bandolivin]

@A-Sweden

automatic win

hes everything else than automatic win- feels kind of underwhelming compared to milena & camilla

[Nightmare2048]

His second charge does the only thing and that is summoning fiends. Yes, they hit hard. Yes, they slow down mana generation quite a bit in addition of two mana stacks from passive. Yes, they take lot of healing to get rid of them. But Esme or Arco makes short work of them. Arco especially and he has even elemental advantage against this hero. By the time this guy gets to second charge Arco or Esme should be ready to fire as well. And quite a few heroes have Fiend resist as LB2 power.

Okay guy to have (though Willow and Becky are better) but by no means OP or something like that.

[Bandolivin]

@Nightmare2048

Willow

i would exchange maxed willow for this blue guy at 1/1

willow is almost useless to me - still regret maxing her as it was an absolute waste of precious darts to me (erlang cries)

[Whitecat31]

There are other characters that do one of these functions much better. Either inhibit mana regen, or increase mana generation.
This character does neither great with the minions doing all the work. Without his minions, he is just a shield to take damage.
The damage from the minions seems minimal, because it is bouncing off armor.
The absorbing healing threshold will annoy, but characters that take care of minions or fiends will shrug him off.
His passive does do a minor 100% to all when the 2nd charge is used, but that seems rather small.
He seems a little bit tankish, but people on the higher end might want a different color. Also tanking relies on AI choosing the right ability at the right time. He also might be a defensive liability for some characters.
He seems somewhat overwhelming. what am I missing?
