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:

Feel free to discuss your team and roster here, and ask for advice from other Forum members.

Another 3x minion remover. Was hoping that Zynga will upgrade Viselud to 5x minion remover like Grimble.

Wish that elemental link was more than 5%. That’s a really small chance to dodge.

Another target and nearby enemies damage dealer on nature element, theres a lot out there, this is another counter to MnM, worth pulling as a HOTM,

…And only to dodge ailments.

I definitely need a hit 3 green as my other options are Silvaria and Francine. This girl can bring some utility along with Silvie. Minion removes are always welcome as it has gone out of control.
Not going to spend more than few $ as i exhausted my budget in Jan trying to get the HOTM.

I believe it’s an old man actually

At first I was psyched for this hero but people seem to be pretty underwhelmed with him. What gives?

Hmm. I didnt know he was an old guy.
As for the underwhelming part, He is average and tickles the enemies. So not really the killer card i am looking for, but I love minion removers and i can pair him with other 3 hitters to get some decent impact.
WIll wait for the release version to see how he behaves.

Average speed, only hits 3, 260% damage. It’s hard to use 6 tonics here. Viselus doesn’t compare well to Grimble from 2019.

Their stat is almost comparable…however, he spots better Attk than Grimble who most of the time just tickles enemies anyway.

The catch on Viselus is his element, against some notorious blues that spin dangerous minions for self and nearby. Also Viselus applies 140 burnt per turn to slow down their healing.

A welcome nature element for the offense, if only he is a Sorcerer though, being a druid is also fine, he gets occasional protection from torn minions (with about 15% HP and 15% Attack per minion.).

It’s mostly P2P players rating stuff compared to the full roster of old heroes. Yes, he’s a worse minion remover than a bunch of others, but he’s way more accesible. I have Grimble, but still need more minion removers (I have Captain of Diamonds and he’s not viable, and Frank who only punishes weak minions and is useless in equalizer wars).

The passives are nice for survivability and people seem to be underestimating them as well.

Yeah, that ability…2% boosted health per enemy inflicted with poison…

Once he casts his special on…at most 3 enemies…6%at the end of 4turns of poison…makes like 24% boosted health to Viselus and nearby…
If I understand this correctly and my math is not off…

Then just ensure he stays between two allies and he can make some differences in some dire situations.

Indeed, his survivability could easily be overlooked!

The “target and nearby” is a bummer when countering Waterpipe. I like the resist against ailments, but would love to see it extend to water and frost as well.

Pretty decent.

I’d he had a paddle that resists man reduction… He’s a decent option… Against the pipe… But without that… Not so much.

Yeah I will pull there too, maybe costume chamber depending on featured heroes, though i probably should save the keys for when they replace more 2X costumes for epics
