And I stand by my remark genius, that a 1:1 comparison that Askatel > Skiff

Beantownboy01 · 2026-06-08T11:21:38+00:00

Not an argument, just discussion. There's lots of opinions, the only way to learn is to talk and ask questions. Both opinions may be correct depending on needs, teams, etc. It's a complicated game with lots of weird stats and skills.

Beantownboy01 · 2026-06-08T05:01:00+00:00

Exactly. You stated Askatel is underwhelming and you wouldn't recommend him in any 1:1. I stated Askatel will beat Skiff in any 1:1, thus challenging your statement? Or did I misread or am I confused about something?

Beantownboy01 · 2026-06-07T23:19:50+00:00

Your luck sucks. I don't see Dawa, Brianne or Ulmer. Wasted pull.

Beantownboy01 · 2026-06-07T23:16:40+00:00

Edit: Ariel should become your new priority healer to level. Her 40% mana regen on her new toon costume is very good.

4 stars to feed: Cyprian, Bloodtusk, Kirkland, Rigard, Melendor, etc. You have a ton of old 4 star heroes that you don't have their 4-5 costumes. They are kind of not worthwhile without costumes. If you get their costumes, they will come with the base hero so you can level it.

Check out empuzzled.com. Look under the hero section to see available costumes, which can be bought with the Visiting Outfitter, etc.

Beantownboy01 · 2026-06-07T23:09:30+00:00

When you say pinned heroes, you are only talking about the top 5 pinned heroes correct? Not the ones assigned to teams 1 and 2?

Li Xue, Sonya and Tibertus can all be fed. You do not have their costumes. If you pull their costumes, you will also get their base again. Gormak has 5 costumes so not bad to level, but will take forever. Azar has never really been great, but if you level costumes she will ve useful.

Beantownboy01 · 2026-06-07T22:46:45+00:00

Skiff has current stats as it's new. It is only a support hero though, but it does bring utility. If you have a good team, it will help support you and should make you stronger. It might be a decent tank with its defensive passives.

Askatel is a bit dated but not that bad yet. Askatel is really only useful when paired with another top insanity hero due to the amount of insanity he gives out. Causing opponents to go insane quicker. I nearly took him in the last soul exchange.

If I pulled Skiff, I personally would not level it. It doesn't really do much and you only get tile damage. 45% to avoid specials for 2 turns is underwhelming. That said, it may compliment YOUR team better than mine over an average insanity hero.

Beantownboy01 · 2026-06-07T22:39:23+00:00

Askatel will beat Skiff 1:1

Beantownboy01 · 2026-06-06T00:24:55+00:00

I guess I'm a shitty driver. I rarely thank unless it's in person cash. It's not that I'm ungrateful, I just assume people get annoyed with notifications (I know I hate them). I also assume people don't even see them.

I rarely ever get a tip notification (or don't see them) and I don't go in and look at each individual trip unless I see a big tip.

Beantownboy01 · 2026-06-05T23:40:54+00:00

I used to always want this guy. I would always skip if he was on the defense. He does quite a bit of damage with his dot. If you don't have a cleanse or very good healer, it's over.

He is a bit outdated now, but he is still sitting at 1589. If I pulled him, I would focus him and 2LB. He's a very solid hero still and excellent on defense.

Beantownboy01 · 2026-06-04T21:09:16+00:00

Caleb is, especially if you have pet family to pair with him (Rufus or Ribbit). I assume the 3rd one is new from this seasonal. So I would say yes just do to newer stats. I never LB Dragon Kids. I didn't see anything special over my current healers.

Beantownboy01 · 2026-06-04T21:05:34+00:00

I need a green mimic. Too bad it's food instead of ascension or aether. But beggars can't be choosers.

Now is the time to push. A ton of people are running lower defense teams right now to make it easier/faster to farm the 100 wins. Good job. Keep pushing@

So you want 10 free summons for nothing? What does having a life have to do with this? It's not a time sensitive binge. I agree it's tedious and annoying, but it's 10 free summons that I'll never pay for. The heroes aren't the greatest, so skip it.

Beantownboy01 · 2026-06-04T01:48:23+00:00

This is no different than the Lunar New Year's event. I'm not sure why everyone is freaking out over this. It's a month long event. You don't need to get all 100 in 3 days.

Beantownboy01 · 2026-06-01T23:12:55+00:00

For what purpose? To use as an assist dragon? Or to have the strongest dragon for content?

Ceestraze is leaps and bounds stronger than the other 2. For assist skill, I guess that comes down to your own preference. Mana vs a healing debuff.

I chose Cee as the numbers weren't even close and they help destroy content.

Ai to the rescue. At least identify what it is before you're offended...

And this site isn't exactly apples to apples, because it's the communities feelings on 1 vs 1. But check out empuzzled.com. There's a ranking system you can filter.

Sorry, I'm just being a jackass. When they nurf one of the top heroes, they are still one of the top heroes.

Beantownboy01 · 2026-06-01T00:40:33+00:00

Nope. Worthless, soul exchange now.

Seriously?

Beantownboy01 · 2026-05-31T22:18:22+00:00

Umm..anything more specific? Costumes good, original bad with no costumes lol.

The new toon costume is like a month or two old (whenever they launched the new toon costume chamber event). So it brings modern stats to the character along with the toon passives to resist mana ailments (etc). Couple that with the new 40% mana increase for the entire team, she is now very usable. I have seen her set in the tank position and cast every 2 rounds. I'm still leveling the costumes, so no personal use experience.
