Personally, I have enough solo farmers that I don't need him. But I expect he likely can solo all three dungeons - so if you don't have a solo farmer I highly recommend you consider him.
Who and for what amount of what shards

akemtum, the new skinwalker epic, for 40 shards.

Looks like that is a void epic, I've never heard of them. Makes sense after the acrizia 10x. I'll be passing.
Looks interesting, let me see if I'm reading this right.
ex1, say enemy A has poison debuff and takes damage, Enemy B has hex debuff and therefore takes the poison damage as well?
ex2, spider and all spiderlings each have hex and at least one poison debuff applied, every time any of them take damage from a poison, they all take poison damage through the hex?
Essentially a continuous debuff spread for poison? Not sure I'd really use them, but I'd still have 90+ voids.
If I read it right, the way it works is, if Spiderling A has both a Hex debuff AND a poison debuff, and Spiderling B has a poison debuff, when Spiderling B takes poison damage, Spiderling A will as well. I don't *think* it will cause Spiderling A's poison debuff counter to tick, but that remains to be seen.
I wonder how well he'd do in Hydra. How many heads are susceptible to poison?

Half, IIRC - but the damage they take is reduced significantly
If anyone happens to already have this champ - could you do a test for me and see how the passive interacts with champs like Elenaril? If you don't have Elenaril, Dark Kael should be able to emulate the same functionality.

So you're thinking spidering A would have to have BOTH debuff s to take damage when spiderling B's poison ticked? I'm reading it that they only need hex debuff applied to take that damage. That would be outrageous.

Same passed through my mind. But as @kramaswamy.kr points out half are immune, the other have take only 10% damage.
40 voids sounds like an awful lot for an epic champion, especially when not during a 2x shard event.

It is.
I am not participating in this event myself, and wouldn't with any amount of voids. Even if I had bucketloads of void leggos, I would prefer a chance at a dupe void for empowerment than 40 shards for an epic possible solo farmer.
Ursala, an incredible progression epic and immediate Doom Tower hero for my account, was guaranteed at 15 voids. I DID go for her. Even at the reasonable 15 shard price, I would argue she is a much better champ as well.
Seems like a good epic, but not a gamechanger and not worth 40 voids. If it was a chase event, maybe I'd go for it to kill two birds with one stone, but as it's a summon event and one I don't need at that, I'll save my shards. 10x maneater is tempting though, but nah, hopefully there's a guaranteed lego at a reasonable shard amount at some point.
I agree. A top tier regular epic for 40 ancients?.... i miiiight consider. Ancients are much easier to accumulate AND the pool of champions is 3x as large, so to focus your drop would make sense. But for voids. 15 max max i would think about it And even then. During a 2x, you have good chances of pulling 3 for 15. So 40 is just nuts.
The ONLY reason this would make it viable is if you knew you're about 40 shards away from guaranteed mercy and Riho is someone you'd like to get a crack at getting.
Yeah the way to calculate the cost is that you lose .5% of a legendary for each void shard you pull now instead of during the next 2x.
Is a void epic worth 20% of a void legendary? I don't think so.
The statistical difference between 40 void shards during a 1x and a 2x is 3.2 epics, so yeah, 40 for a guaranteed is not a particularly good deal unless it's either an epic you really need or if you already have most of the other useful epics (in which case, you probably have enough other champs not to need the guaranteed one). If you pull during 2x instead, not only will you get more epics total, your chances of getting the guaranteed one ain't all that bad either considering there are less than 50 void epics in the game.
I think Plarium is testing the waters here, but for me, I think my limit would be around 25 before the cost becomes difficult to justify mathematically, with a few rare exceptions for champs with a kit unique enough that it can't be replaced.
They got the whole thing backwards. Maneater should be the guaranteed and this dude should be the 10x.

You have to open shards to complete the shard event. 2x or not. Are you skipping the shard event?
I opened 30, got the garanteed on 27, will probably open more voids to complete the rush.

I came top in a couple of tournaments so I can skip the Summon Rush completely - thankfully, because I have very few shards at the moment. :)
I was confused for a sec cause I got him on my first (and only) ancient shard today
