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:

Got him on my as one the two event heroes I pulled. He seems… hrm… not good. But maybe I am rusty in my sight… maybe if you need defense against green, like in the currently running tournament…

Yes he’s another blue healer, but he’s one who charges in 6 tiles. All the other 3* Blue healers are average speed, so even his 2nd charge is faster

Edit : I haven’t leveled and tested yet, but Styx heroes charge at 6/9/12 tiles

Anyone leveled this guy yet? I have 3, and I’m trying to decide whether to feed two of them to the third or just feed all of them to Dawn.

8

I kept only one, but he got a limitbreak since I have no other green blocker in blue. I would feed them away to Dawn.

9

I have updated the OP with the balance changes related to family bonus and passive.

I just realize he is the new toughest 3* for now. The Treevil has been dethroned :smile:.

He has 585 Def & 1149 Hp (585x1149=672.165) vs Treevil 614 Def & 1050 Hp (614x1050=644.7).

I don’t think the passive is called “Decrease Defense Ailment Duration” since it make them immune to def down ailment in stead of decrease the duration.

I’ve been using him for just a few weeks, my first Styx hero, and I like him. His first heal comes quickly, and if I can wait for the third, it’s a big heal, plus the ailment resistance is a great help against burn or mana-slowing and whatnot. Plus the Styx defense down resistance is an excellent passive, like Kunchen and Malosi. I’ve given Virgil some emblems and it was an easy decision.

EDIT: whoops, no general ailment resistance. I must’ve just gotten Faiez and mixed them up. But I do still use Virgil from time to time. I’ve found him useful in early tower levels and early costume levels.
