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:

That was my first thought too. I have Satori but I know I’ll never get this one xD

I really like the priority dispell heroes. I’m hoping to get this one, but I’m not going to kill myself trying…fortunately, they don’t wait long before offering them up officially.
Good luck, everyone!

A permanent 300 damage per turn that spreads to your whole team seems frankly stupid and unfun. I really hope this gets rethought

Reminds me a bit of Daemon but to be honest I probably prefer Daemon (his snipe does slightly less damage but he is VF and I prefer shutting down special effects than the frost damage). Thoughts?

I… uh…

what

The “family bonus” and the “passive” are better than many entire heroes, with a “steal LB2 effects from the start of battle” (sure, the minion is tiny, but with a 160% dodge chance, who cares) and permanent heal nerf to all enemies as long as the hero is alive

what

oh, yeah, and there’s the actual Special, which very certainly seems anything but weakened to account for the sidecard powers.

…why am I still playing this game…?

Do you know whether the Lunar heroes can shut down the effects of the Sly Fox Minion, so that it can’t dodge and can’t steal buffs?

In the future, you will see passives that can completely block healing like the ailment of Xiaotu :rofl:

The lunar buff probably blocks the minion abilities.

Hopefully that’s the case, and LNY hero passives suddenly have a reason to exist again after being kicked around by the costume W3K “unstoppable” nonsense.

Me, I just assume there will soon be a “lasting” version of the “status ailments cannot be cleansed” ailment, so that when your heroes start taking lasting damage they take that damage literally forever and there is nothing you can do but either hurry up and win almost instantly or else just DIE, AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHHAAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA

cough, wheeze

The heal-nerf passive is sufficiently strong that if this hero literally had no Special skill at all, if I faced it in a raid/war/etc. I’d still have to throw all my targetable damage at it first because (outside of Bloody Battle) any battle where I can only do half healing and my opponent has full? Yeah, no.

Foxes are step in the wrong direction, saying it now.

Pairing this hero with Guardian Elephant or Meg Giry will be a lot of fun and frustrating.

So if i use Meg Giry special after Whitefang special, it gives the “lasting” frost dmg to the enemies and make it uncleanseble? And remains like that forever?

So this is Zappa but done way better
