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:

:thinking: I do like the priority dispell heros but it seems like something is off or missing. Well time will tell and we shall see what happens at release.
Good luck everyone!

I think heroes like this are just too hard to balance (at least to the negligible extent that SG cares about balance). If the poison effect is cleansable then the hero sucks. But if its uncleansable then its probably too OP.

5

For the third charge, is this a typo or is it weird design: “The target gets -90% decrease of any healing received for 2 turns.”

It should be “All enemies” and not just the target for the card to make sense, no?

Like the design and was lucky today

You can’t go wrong with Priority Dispel. Add Gastille or Rothbard to the mix and she’s absolutely deadly. Great utility hero and a good reason to finally retire onyx.

Sometimes and sometimes I spend every saved token plus gems and don’t even get a S1,
I also post those but no pictures of the failures so probably not as noticeable. Good luck in the portals!

If you’re lucky enough to bring some of the new Gargoyles she’s almost useless.

If you’re not, she’s quite deadly.

Nice design also.

12

A situationally brilliant and powerful card.
In the other situations (Toons, cards and families that are immune to poison, dancers, monks, clerics) she is absolutely useless.

Her reduced healing is just amazing if and when it works. (Monks, clerics) I have not had great experience with Medea who has a similar heal nerf when going against the likes of C Diao. SO yes, when she woks she is just brilliant.

The main reason she won’t cut into my team is because I have Violet. She dispels all at average and has a fat MM which is a killing machine by itself along with the bleed.

To put things into perspective. Thats inflicting noticeably more poison damage than Zhie and we can all remember how heroes melted away when she fired.

14

Only because Xie’s poison isn’t cleansable and gets extended in the amount of turns due to the family bonus.

15

Cleansable or not doesn’t matter in offense and for defense ninjas aren’t suited anyways.

Gastille + Umeko are enough to melt away a whole team.

16

Got her on the second pull.

I wasn’t even expecting to get a legendary.
I was just summoning a few to finish leveling up rothbart that I just got in the covenant summon, along with scoria and Nautica.
So yeah this was a surprise.

Im so glad everyone isn’t crying for a nerf in here. This is a great card, but like all cards now, it has tons of counters and cards that just ignore it. I was expecting nerf talk when i saw the damage ammount.

18

I have a question on Umeko
if the posion damage is set, does the attack stat matter? There is no up front damage, so would it make mor sense to place Shield and health above attack with emblems?

19

92% say prioritize attack over shield
am i missing something?

20

That poison damage scales with the attack stat of Umeko, so definitely go with sword path :wink:
