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:

She’s basically nature version of Farrah that inflicts Insanity instead of EDD. Seems fine, though she can be fired at most once without risk. Wouldn’t mind her.

My first Insanity hero… I’m not sure how risky is it to fire her again with 50 Insanity… Would pair her with Daroga and Myon-ni for quick Insanity heal…

Ngl, they could have at least just kept it the same as Farrah by downing the additional damage to 200% instead of 180%, that’s quite the downgrade from beta from 220%, not sure the 50% reduction was needed either from her sniper damage.

This is taking into account that her 2LB was changed from revive to inferior attack up, and she was given +10 insanity on self which makes her quite risky to use twice.

I won’t get it so no point in summoning.

How strong a hero may be but with 0.1% change to get a secret hero it’s never worth to summon just to get one imo.

Whaaat

Thank you, sg. Honestly such a cool thing

Is it though?

I mean, this whole insanity thing - especially with her as she’s fast and inflicts 50 to self, her special is basically a worse Farrah and if she fires twice without healing she’ll attack her own team, no?

The insanity she deals to others is random and only 10, so good luck getting any of them full to 100 if they have a full team.

Am I missing something here because right now she doesn’t even look that good, and this whole insanity mechanic seems like crap for such a rare bunch of heroes?

Why not wait to see how she performs? She did fantastically at 1-12, fired a million times. I have all the stuff for her and a legendary troop to match. Beyond tickled

I mean I will but on paper what I said would stand no? She’d attack our own team after firing twice, and she wouldn’t contribute to the enemy’s sanity much as it’s divided and random?

I definitely don’t know. We’ll see

I’ll start levelling her after I get Phenexa to 3:70, which should be somewhat soon, let know what she’s like if you finish her first

I mean its not like you need too… even if you get them all to like 30% there is a really good chance 1 or 2 will self fire…

Welcome to the forums.

I completely agree.
