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:

Personally I would use this one to reduce resurrection rate. That special skill is ok, nothing special (duh) but nice.

Another ailment duration resetter. As a 4* I probably have more chance to get this one. He’d be useful for me. Might also help to bring back DoT on defence teams again.

Yes, this hero does not preventing just reducing the chance of revival, but you do not have to fire the Special Skil asl these passives are always active, and they can not be removed.

Had nine free pulls saved. Was lots of Maeve/ Noril popping out but finally came Skrekok that I didn’t have plus this guy who was my main realistic want from here.

Very happy.

With Rayne is great. Also will work wonders with Tree

I’m not sure many people have noticed how important this guy is, especially for 4* rush attack tournaments.

With him, you’ll be able to fire in 6 tiles any hero that is fully emblemed and it’s a monk, sorcerer, or druid (because of their +4% mana last node).

Now, that’s a game changer!!

what are you saying? Isn’t that +5% only for him?

15

No, it’s for anyone who is the only family or realm member in the party. So if you have a bard, and a season 1 hero, and any three other heroes who don’t share the same family, they’d all get the 5% mana bonus.

I notice that too :slightly_smiling_face:.

For me, it is that 5% mana regen that he give to all S1 heroes :sweat_smile:.

I really like him. And the odds are good with no S1 and him being the only 4* in the family .

18

So does he even reset uncleansable buffs? He’ll definitely make it to my raven squad :eyes:

EDIT - it does. I got him earlier and just tested. Whee thats a crazy special skill.

Don’t forget S1 heroes with costume. From now any class is able to fire from 6 tiles even withouth mana talent.

For any other 4* tournaments, average speed S1 heroes with costume and mana talent can fire from 9 tiles. This is also a big advantage.

I’m guessing the revival chance reduction isn’t a status ailment.

If it was, it would be great to pair him with Tahir
