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:

Looks really weak even for very fast speed, hope he will get a buff on release

Even if he was a 4* he would be weak…
No idea why to release a hero like this in 2024…

Awe… :pensive: I was looking forward to the new morlovia heroes. Chester sounded cool and a stat boost for Dracula wouldn’t hurt…

At current numbers, this guy is just a SE material and no more. 260 over 2 turns means 130 each turn which is nothing. Then 25% of 650 is 160 hp recovery. I mean, is this a joke or what? He is a terrible hero even if he charges in 3 tiles.

I can see that he is just a booster to Zarga i.e. to make Zarga VF together with him.

Otherwise, hardly see any points from him. Look extremely weak.

I mean, come on, 260 bleeds, is this guy 3* ??

I’d probably ascend this one. With all the ungodly overpowered healers out there,
a very fast hero that neuters healing is useful.

This is quite a shame or you just need this hero to kill the healing because the damage he deals is clearly to weak for the actual meta… This isthe one I really don’t want among the two others and I am sure I will get him :rofl:

Pulled 2 legendary heroes with my free pulls, Wayne and Kadilen. On his own, he feels underwhelming, but i do have matilda to try pairing him with… i do like the fact he steals 60% of healing from all enemies. At very fast that will be nice. As a free pull, im happy :slightly_smiling_face:

I’m one of those people who appreciates a hero who doesn’t do a million things at once. But due to the nature of the game being out of control regarding the power creep, he just really doesn’t do anything at this point.
If he was released 3-4 years ago he would have been an awesome hero to use. But now, it’s not even close to being useful
Should have been sorcerer, wizard is a terrible class for him

Yep, I pulled Wayne and Quintus :clown_face: really wanted c.alucard as I have the base 2LB but got this guy instead. Had to laugh, he’s so bad!

Had 22 EHT saved, pulled him with those. At first I was thinking that “yay I pulled a fresh new 5* hero, cant be bad at this time and age”. But seems it doesnt apply for Seasonal Event heroes, this card seems so lame. There are Toon heroes that have +6000 hp with the troops, even if this hero was at 4/90+25 that 400 dot over 2 turns is laughable… Yea it can block healing nicely at very fast speed, but there’s so many resists these days for ailments.

This poll question really needs to have a new option added, and this hero would be a good time to add it:

Soul Exchange.

That is where this hero will give the most utility to a player.

I think this option here is good if you would want to vote for such:

It’s always a great feeling you check the forums and realise it’s the garbage one you pulled :sweat_smile:

I know that not all heroes will be amazing and some need to be designed ■■■■■■, but can they at least make these ■■■■■■ heroes with some competency at this day and age? Even a simple heal three for him makes him a lot better

I guess they’re trying to make him into a yellow uthragan, and uthragan in his debut is a menace in low tier. The uthragan tanks down there are a pain to deal with and he is really underestimated
Needs to be 3 turns, needs at least 200 bleed damage, needs to absorb 50% health

if he dispel first and then rest
maybe he will be interesting especially to pair with matilda
