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:

@PlayForFun poll… this hero doesn’t clean. It’s mega minion does. So instead of cleanser (what he doesn’t do) it should say mega minion summoner :coffee:

I also voted for mega minion… :lol:
So only 2 options…

Their passive also acts as a way to track the number of turns that have passed. Just count the number of times your side explodes

His passive looks like it could be good. Does not say it only works once per turm so if he gets multiple stacks he will charge faster than slow…

Does anyone know if his passive only works once per turn or per aliment or per stack?

Example of thoeretical attack/turn against him: Lets say he gets 2 stacks of defense down wither…1 stack of attack dowm wither…and 1 regular mana generation debuff… would he gain 2+1+1=4*5%=20% mana?



Im currently trying to test this. Will report back

It appears he gets one per ailment/ stack. Still trying to confirm it clearly but i was hit by a hero that gave multiple debuffs and he gained much more than just 5% for only one of them
