Valkyrie Summon x10 -- totally worth it

Had 120 ancients saved over past 3 weeks -- got her on my 3rd set of 10 ancient shards:


Total from 30: 2 legendaries (Astralith booo, Valkyrie), 5 epics -- very good luck

Having already got Martyr, I did some initial arena and CB comparison with identical gear:


1. Martyr hits harder and her hits have more PvE utility (decreased def, decrease attack)

2. Valkyrie shield is a monster (it's like a 40-50% HP shield on my attackers every 3 turns - superior to Miscreated Monster shield ability and 30% HP shield set)

3. Booking Valkyrie is a nightmare (13 books) and -1 turn CD on A2 comes at end of these books

4. Between her and Martyr, my CB fight went from 6min to 10min+

5. Gearing both is easy

6. Valkyrie arena TM manipulation in theory is very strong, but not significantly noticeable



Summary: there is way worse legendaries you can pull. Valkyrie is definitely good, and even if you are waiting for 2x summon chance, you should try for her. Ancient shards are not that hard to get, void i would save.

Valkyrie isn't just good. She's the best champion in Raid for support. CA and a shield that can way surpass 3x most champions max HP at 6 star full ascension on a 3 turn cooldown is god tier

Really though, congrats on the pull. Valk is like the best of both Zelotah and skullcrusher. And those are two top tier epics. She basically can replace them both in any setup I use and let me add someone. She is ridiculous. One of the many I completely avoid in arena.

... got a Queen Eva after opening 5 shards.


That just feels weird since that was the last summoning event.

Damn. That's awesome. 90+ days and no legendary yet for me.

So I am still debating whether to go for Valk or save Ancient/Sacred shards for 2x event.  Lots of variables to consider.


Let's start with the Math. By EOD I will have 30 Ancient, 17 Void, 4 Sacred Shards.  


1st we calculate the chance of getting at least 1 legendary for opening NOW or 2XE:


NOW: 1 - (.995^30)*(.94^4) = 32.8%

2XE: 1- (.99^30)*(.88^4)= 56.6%


Next we calculate chance of getting Valk, I have no idea how many legos exist so I assume between 50 & 100 to get a range:


NOW: 3.3% to 6.5% 

2XE: 0.6% to 1.1%


Next estimate how many Epics pulled, we will use EV for simplification of analysis:


NOW: 5 Epics

2XE: 10 Epics


Other considerations:

  • I have no Epic Books, I have 12 legendary books
  • Summon event will give me some additional NOW bonuses (will look at shortly: x5 Brew, 125 Energy, Interceptor, x10 Brew, 250k silver, 200 Energy, XP boost, Epic Book, 300 Energy)
  • I have roughly enough food to 6* two heroes
  • My main need is to improve my Spider team
  • How Valk fits my roster compared to other Legos (this is tough to quantify of course)
  • I lack patience and really want to open these :)

I'm going to pause, eat lunch, and come back to this. I know you all are waiting with baited breath...

My summary is:


  • Basically, I have a small chance of getting Valk if I open now compared with basically zero chance if I wait.
  • The bonus items from the Summon event are nice, but nothing great there for me
  • I'll obviously get more epics (roughly 2x) if I wait, and am more likely to get at least 1 legendary (and obviously have a chance at 2 or more)
  • Valk obviously improves my team, as she is better than anyone I have.  But other legos will help me too.
  • Extra Epics are great, just for the chance to get a really good one that can help in Spider
  • But I don't have books for another Epic right now
  • I still lack patience

Overall, it probably comes down to whether or not what I pull gets me 1 step closer to a Spider team. I think Valk certainly does that, but waiting probably makes more sense. I've got another day to decide. Maybe I'll just open 10 Ancient for fun.  


If someone has a good case for going for it, I'd love to be convinced.

I'm an idiot.


  • Clearly waiting for 2x was the correct choice.
  • I lack patience, significantly
  • I opened 30 Ancients and 4 Sacred
  • I have only void shards remaining
  • I still have not pulled a legendary, LOL

But.... after going 0 for 30 on ancient, and 0 for my 1st 3 Sacred. I pulled on my last Sacred...


MISCREATED MONSTER


I am thrilled. Unfortuantely I have no books.  But, even at 5* level 20 something he can solo 12.3 Brutal. So easy to get to 60 since I can get 40k EXP a run.  I'm running with food now that he is 6* just to take advantage of no EXP loss. I guess I have 1 piece in my spider puzzle.

MISCREATED MONSTER


This guy is the only hero in ALL my teams (except UNM CB and speed runs). At 90k health, his 30% shield set buff = 27k shield (wow), and his AOE adds another ~3k shield per enemy damaged. Oh and he stuns and has 60% dec defence debuf and fears and heals himself and has ally protection. Literatallly can carry you past all missions and into end game,

Ethan,

How do you have him geared and what masteries? I really only need him for Spider, though I'm sure I'll use to speed up other Dungeon runs and he has to fit in my defensive arena approach. I know I put wrong gear on him for now, but wanted to test him out so was willing to sacrifice some silver.  I did some searches and most results are more end gamish so they have much better gear and GH boosts than I.  What minimum requirements would you say I need for ACC/Speed/HP/CR/CD.  Do I need to worry about RES at all for him? Guessing an ACC banner is my goal, ugh that could take forever. Sucks I have legendary books but no Epic books.
