What do you think of the current defense shard summon pool?

Being a new player (two months-ish), I don't have perspective of past events.  The summon pool of defense champions currently being offered...good, bad, ugly, or freaking awesome?

some good champs in there, but as a F2P (mostly, i sometimes buy monthly gem packs) i generally ignore summon pool.

Hmm.  I thought about it, but will pass.  I've got good toons waiting on promotion already in the stable.  Kael, Magnarr, Uugo, Apothecary, Husk, Corpulent Cadaver, Vergis, just to name a few.  So much so, I actually feel I can hit the breaks on cracking every shard I see and save those for CvC or progressive summon events.

I started my own clan and fused Justiciar (halfway to Arbiter now), both yesterday, lots of ascension and starter blessings to grind.  If I buy anything, it would be the 12x5* chicken, full XPx2  bundle since there are now 12 lvl 50 toons waiting in the wings and a bunch of 40's behind them.  Lol, so much to do, but at least I got stuff to do.

It's quite a good pool, but as a general rule I personally won't buy Prism crystals.  No mercy system on them hurts their value for me.

That tiger champion looked good, as did some of the Knights Revenant crew.

Say, since this is the game discussion board, if anyone knows someone looking for a clan to build their account, they are welcome to join Dusk Riders [DRZ3].  Only requirement is 100k total account power to weed out folks that only join for the progress mission and then do nothing else.  😁. Yes, I know that is a shamelss plug.

It's not so much a question of whether or not they're good, as much as "you won't get them."

The resources required are pretty high, but if you happen to use enough to get the DD + FK event/tourney freebies, go ahead and use em. As for spending on them, you're probably better suited using them on actual shards for fusion or etc.

Yeah, I concur.  Black Knight is one I have waiting for a promotion, and he looks like he could be pretty good in several content areas.  His skills are HP based, but relatively same idea as some of the toons in the summon pool.  Cracked him off an arcane shard, and gems get me those for free.

Super meh, here. Staltus is the only toon I would like to pull. The are either not worthwhile or duplicates to my account.

michinaki (green head) for hydra, the rest are whatever though.  Half of them are old fusions, not enticing in my opinion.

I may be sleeping on staltus but there's so many nukers out there that are just as good or better these days that I don't think it's worth going for a nuker.

If you are a new "spender" these are awesome events.  Better than any 10x/25x by far.  The "good" lego hit rate is fabulous here imo.

That's not really a high bar to set, though. 10x/25x were never good events outside of when they combo'ed with other events/tourneys/fusions or when they were for very specifically strong champs, and even then, they were really just an excuse to spend a ton of resources and then complain

That's why I added the "BY FAR" lol

Obviously for us lowly f2p, they aren't going to get us to crack. But I'm sure as he'll going to grab my 3 free pulls. Getting 3 xtra sacred pulls this week is damn good. Scratch that itch and keep piling up the regular shard inventory.

this is where I'm at too. I don't buy prisms but happily gonna take a shot at Firrol/Michi. Both would be huge. 

Staltus is a good dragon option (a dupe I wouldn't mind) and I've got a 6* for Ragash waiting. 

overall one of the better pools I've seen.

Ragash is a beast. Would lobe a 6s rend.

Last rotation he basically soloed a sintranos stage that many struggled on

And that was with a trips build

Ragash was a gaurunteed at one point, those events are way better if you have shards saved up.

yeah, he's fun. not as much now but I've gotten caught off guard by a few cats in LA before. 

at this point I'm really just trying to hone in on hyper specific champs even if the odds aren't great just because well, that's the only place there's really a payoff for me anymore.
