This guide will go over the basic process in order to summon your very own Hero, while providing the necessary information to extract as much value out of the process
Letβs begin... βοΈπ
1/
π Not all Heroes are created equal, you must keep this in mind in order to pinpoint value when you spot it
π In order to summon, your Hero must possess summoning power (located at bottom of card)
π The resources necessary to summon will vary based on multiple factors
2/
π Summons will determine the qty of times you may summon
π When it reaches 0 you can no longer summon
π All gen0βs have unlimited summons with a cool-down period that increases 4 hours with each summon
π All remaining gens will have a cool-down period of 4*HeroesGen
3/
π When you summon a hero itβs gen will be determined by +1 of the highest gen summoning
π Summoning 2 gen0 Heroes will produce a gen1 with 10/10 summons
π Summoning 2 gen1 Heroes that both have 10/10 summons will produce a gen2 Hero with 9/9 summons... and so on
4/
π Your 2 Heroes do not need to have the same # of summons
π Summoning with a gen1 (9/10 summons) & gen2 (3/3 summons) you will summon a gen3 Hero with 2/2 summons like below
π You can use this to your advantage if you canβt afford a Hero with high # of summons
5/
π Rarity is an important factor when summoning
π Summoning 2 Heroes with equal rarity will increase the probability of summoning a more rare Hero as seen below
π Nothing is guaranteed when it comes to summoning, you can still summon a common with 2 mythics!
6/
π Stats & Professions are also passive traits that may be passed onto a summoned Hero
π Summoning with 2 Heroes of the same profession/stats will likely pass on those common traits
π Summoning with misaligned traits can produce a new random profession/skill
7/
π Certain Heroes will perform better at specific professions with desired skills
π To build a Hero with desired traits you must plan ahead
π It may cost you slightly more JEWEL upfront but overall it will increase the value of your newly summoned Hero
8/
π When you summon you pay a fee in JEWEL
π Gen0 Heroes will start at a 6 JEWEL fee & each gen following will increase by 10 JEWEL
π After each summon the fee will increase by 2 JEWEL
π Gen0 fees are capped at a fixed rate and will continue to pay that stagnant fee
9/
π In addition to paying a JEWEL fee you must also pay a fixed rate of Gaiaβs Tears (Tears)
π Basic class rate is 10 Tears per Hero
π Advanced/Elite class rate is 40 Tears per Hero
π You can buy Tears at the marketplace & potentially earn them at the wishing well
10/
π In order to summon an Advanced, Elite or Exalted class you must summon with Heroes with their respective βpairβ
π Summoning with an Archer & Thief may potentially summon a DarkKnight
π Summoning with a Paladin & DarkKnight may potentially summon a Dragoon...etc
11/
βοΈ Should you Summon? βοΈ
π Summoning is simply a feature in DFK and you are by no means required to participate
π Summoning is an exciting way to build your desired Hero while also taking a chance w rarity
π Despite the amazing possibilities, it comes at a cost
12/
π When deciding whether or not you should summon you must analyze your budget
π If you have < 200 JEWEL than summoning a new Hero will be quite the risky venture
π To make this decision simpler letβs dive into some important factors
13/
π Profession & Adventure Quests are on there way & when they arrive it will alter how you perceive Heroes
π If questing is your desired goal then summoning may be too risky with a small budget
π @DFKTavern provides some amazing stats, check it out on their website!
14/
π With the price of JEWEL rising, the floor of non-rare Heroes (with 0 summons) have been steadily decreasing (JEWEL)
π JEWELβs success may provide a valuable opportunity to snag a few floor Heroes to quest with rather than risking JEWEL summoning if budget is a concern
15/
π If you only have 1 Hero, you can hire a 2nd Hero at the portal and pay a fee that costs substantially less than buying a Hero
π This can be a very useful strategy if there isnβt the right Hero for you on the marketplace, or if you canβt afford to pay full price
16/
π If youβve come to the conclusion that summoning is a valuable risk/reward - then head to the portal
π If you have 2 Heroes make sure you have enough JEWEL & Tears to cover the fees
π If you need a 2nd Hero than browse the market for a Hero that hits all your criteria
17/
π When you summon you will receive a Summoning Crystal, this crystal will grant you your newly summoned Hero
π Bare in mind you only have 5 minutes to summon after infusing your Heroes otherwise your crystal will expire and you must pay a 18 JEWEL fee

βοΈ Personal Summons βοΈ
π Archer - Common - gen3
π 5/5 Summons - Foraging - Wis
those who think theyβre late to dfk need to take a hard look at this, crystalvale will be a βresetβ for all starting back at ground zero, we havenβt seen land plots, equipment, guilds, PvP/E, advanced questing...
made this dope graphic today for a visual representation for whatβs to come in dfk, when you get rare loot on adventure quests or craft some new armor/weapons how will that effect your hero? Yes stats will help from leveling but what may differentiate the best is rare equipment
