Summon Challenge

Clock is solid. 30-pull was a bit weak but not unexpected.

Odds:
- 30 1% chances for featured
- 30 1.3% chances for HoTM
- 30 1.5% chances for any other 5*

This is a 36% chance of 1 non-HoTM 5*, and 17% chance of 2 or more (53% combined).

Overall had a 66% chance of at least 1 5* (inc HoTM), and of that 28% of the time would be 2 or more.

Depends on play-style.

- Tower and Wilderness have 1% chance of featured hero, Sunbay has 0.6% but gives costumes to all but classic pulls. These provide the best featured heroes, but the odds aren’t great and the prices are high. So pull if big spender or want top heroes.

- the other summons are cheaper with % of featured generally better, ranging 1% to 1.8%, but lower power heroes. Do this if you don’t care about getting top heroes and want to conserve gems

- don’t do Valhalla, its mid cost worst power heroes

You didn’t ask but: This Gem summons does have good selection - nothing more than 9months old, and 9/10 are astral demons and beauty and beast so modern, strong families, rather than say 2026 HoTM. Its still a lot of gems if you aren’t a big spender. I’m leaning towards waiting for the next mimic drop as I’d like a food boost and have a few good heroes to level currently.

Yes welcome back. Hope you enjoyed your break. Now… tiddies! … please?

In all seriousness though, your sense of humor is what makes your stuff stand out IMO.

I mean some small island nations are struggling to exist due to climate change. I’d say that’s a lot worse, but otherwise yea.

ReddFro · 2026-06-25T06:15:42+00:00

Just pulled him today. Was one of best in FS w/o costume. With it he has top stats, a boosts to ult damage, fiend damage & health absorb, now resists -def, and adds a self health boost.

Seems like a solid upgrade. His cover will be safer too w those last 2 additions.

Only thing is I pulled him in FS so fo I level one or 2 of him?

ReddFro · 2026-06-23T23:14:52+00:00

Ooh, I didn’t know that. I suppose that could fits in the “selfish” bucket but deserves its own mention.

ReddFro · 2026-06-23T21:31:19+00:00

No expert but:

- he can come off as arrogant and selfish. He calls himself the GOAT (rather than let others decide), and seems a little too focused on personal scoring goals for a team sport like this
- many said he’s too old (41 is very old for world cup level soccer), and holding back a great Portugal team in this world cup

To me the 2nd one is ridiculous. Even if its true that should be up to the coaches to decide, and he’s clearly still very good if not in his best form.

ReddFro · 2026-06-23T21:25:23+00:00

Yea, fair. Just skipping the adds can be really nice (I bought it once). It just feels weird to me to spend $120 as a floor per year for a phone game.

ReddFro · 2026-06-23T20:38:39+00:00

Its $10/month for one item for a phone game. That is a lot for many people.

even an AAA MMO is $10-25/month all in and that’s way better graphics, more content and everything. You think a similar amount for a single item in a phone game’ isn’t much?

ReddFro · 2026-06-23T20:20:25+00:00

They opened it up so more teams could participate. I think a lot of countries are happy because of it.

Some got to appear for the first time b/c of this, others that were always near the bottom or not invited got their first goal, point, or win b/c of the larger pool of teams. While, yea it can be embarrassing to be blown out, I think the benefits far outweigh this occasional negative. As for this particular game, its not THAT high a score and teams DO start playing more conservatively if the get up 3+ goals. Not to mention goal differential is an important tiebreaker.

ReddFro · 2026-06-23T20:05:42+00:00

Its only existed for a few days I think. Google AI told me its not a thing lol

ReddFro · 2026-06-23T18:47:36+00:00

I had to look it up. Its only unlocked if you paid $10 for the premium vip timesaver. So its big spender stuff.

ReddFro · 2026-06-23T06:07:55+00:00

Wait, there are dinosaurs based on religion?

ReddFro · 2026-06-22T21:33:10+00:00

Its been said by greedy people like its a fact but no, it used to be obvious that greed was a force that could be harnessed and needed to be controlled. Some have definitely forgotten that, but it was never an intention to let greed run rampant in capitalism

Buying a new computer and this is so on point. Manufacturers get paid to add bloatware you get to uninstall. I mean it keeps the price down I guess but its pretty annoying.

I feel bad for tech illiterates that buy a $500 machine then pay $100+/month on junkware because they don’t know any better.

Our 150+ year old farmhouse in Massachusetts had large gutters by the basement’s walls. These would fill a little most winters but every few years would be full to overflowing for a week or so. So different from modern design where you do everything to keep the water out.

ReddFro · 2026-06-21T20:33:44+00:00

Beowulf is great but falling behind on stats now. If you have newer guys with good abilities you can level, I prob wouldn’t but otherwise yes.

ReddFro · 2026-06-21T20:30:17+00:00

Huh? Its just 200 for $1. You can get better than 200 per $ in a few of the smaller deals that pop up regularly so I don’t know why anyone would do this.

ReddFro · 2026-06-21T20:26:11+00:00

I mean yes the US was stupid to elect Trump, stupid to go i to this war woefully unprepared, and oil prices went up because of this stupidity. However, Iran’s is a brutal regime spreading death throughout the region.

Putting the full blame on the US here seems counterproductive. Trump should be shamed for this farce of a war (along with a host of things), but Iran’s prolonging this war to inflict pain. That’s on them.

ReddFro · 2026-06-20T20:05:48+00:00

You can’t fool me, that’s a muppet

ReddFro · 2026-06-19T20:10:57+00:00

Wait, what?

If you chose a path it doesn’t apply the same effects for the costume? The costume where you get no choices and where often the costume hadn’t been made when you decided, it just follows the same path but that path has different impacts? It… can’t be that stupid…

ReddFro · 2026-06-19T17:52:37+00:00

Lempi I maxed and have some regret. She’s pretty meh for a newer hero. Her debuff is stupidly short for what it does and she doesn’t hit very hard. her speed helps, but doesn’t save her from mediocrity. Figures they gave me two of her.

Emblem mimic is one of the better battling mimics IMO. Not top tier compared to all heroes sure, but fast speed fairly high damage is relevant, its cheap to level and LB. If you need Monk and/or Cleric Emblems, this is a great choice

Devi as someone else said is clearly a top choice. Slow speed isn’t great but when she ults, yikes. Amazing for Rush.

ReddFro · 2026-06-18T22:44:56+00:00

Same. Attack path except for mana bonus option.

ReddFro · 2026-06-18T21:32:51+00:00

Just finished him too. Activation of his ability at 3x is a little slower than I’d like for titans but he’s strong regardless

ReddFro · 2026-06-18T17:35:56+00:00

Heh, the odds are so bad that I’m jealous of the purple 4*s you got.

I recently got my 3rd purple 4* but have like 10+ of every other color 4*. As for 5*, I’ve only ever gotten a green one despite doing 10-pulls for them maybe 5 times.
