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.

435% damage is low. Zarga should deal 500% damage imo :grinning:

If the mana comes as fast as gilligan… and she is constantly going off and giving bleed damage… I think I’d be okay with the percentage. When will I get around to leveling her… no clue… but gonna get my pulls in.

it only takes 1 8% mana chunk from an enemy suffering bleed damage to make her vf, presume you put a 20% mana troop on her and then the 2% emblem…

3 bleeds with no tiles to drop to 5 tiles
4 bleeds with no tiles to drop to 4 tiles
6 bleeds with no tiles to drop to 3 tiles
8 to get to 2
9 to get to 1
11 bleeds with no tiles charges her again

again… presuming they don’t pre-nerf her.

But then again leadria has seen some success even with her nerf. But yeah, let’s hope he’s not nerfed before release. Genuinely one of the more interesting hotm of 2024

seems desirable. and he looks like Noor’s darkside character with that ominous raven instead of a cute sparrow.

This is just the mana he gains on three injured enemies. That’s crazy

Different rosters, different approaches towards heroes. I personally would be very happy if i manage to pull this card. Saved all my EHTs for this HOTM but sadly she didn’t appear from 27 pulls. Got Miss Ethel however so still happy. But i am really hoping to manage to catch this pokemon until end of the month :crossed_fingers:

Could you check: Does he receive mana and heal for bleeding from Barbarians?
