This one is Gunnar bee interesting…

Well, can’t help but notice that all teams have a kvasir somewhere. Gunnar is only tanking in half (and a 6th flank in costume). Curious what the new S4 heroes will add in versatility (not much I guess, only poppy will really be nasty here. Sadly, don’t have her yet. Do have Vollermork, but last bloody battle, I went against him quite some times and didn’t notice his effects… Also helo, but he doesn’t add much, and morris, who I feel is totally ignorable)

Wasn’t able to stay away. Here’s mine. I’m interested what limit breaking will do. I think most players will be saving and using on epics and legendaries but I have been concentrating on rares for quite a while.

Was also thinking about moving Kvasir to right flank and replacing Chick and putting Melia at left wing but think that’s too inviting to dark stacks.

Since all your blue hitters are AoE, Gunnar’s costume makes much more sense in this case. Also wing Kvasir not the most effective, since there’s a definite risk the attacker’s Kvasir will go off before yours.

I’m just waiting to see the Aether drop rates from tournament loot and war loot before limit breaking my Blue 3*s. They’re my Challenge Event Rare team, so cGunnar and cUlmer at least will be to level 55. I probably would have already done it if it weren’t for the fact that the next event Avalon reflects Blue.

Welcome back, by the way. Staying for good?

Ty @rho, switched as suggested. I also looked at the 9% mana bonus for cGunnar+20 but doesn’t look like there is a break until 10% on defense.

Ty, I’m going to be very casual. I’m ftp but was “spending” too much time on the game.

My Gunnar with maxed costumed bonus if fully emblemed but the talent is on the defense and health nodes focused on the original version of the hero. Is it wise to reset the emblems and reemblem him on defense and health nodes on the costume version, or should I level, max and emblem a second copy to do that? The original version has over 700 defense stat with emblems, second only to Grevle fully emblemed on defense.

Personally, I have 2 Gunnars but I also emblem my rares and leave them. Here’s both emblemed and broken if you want to compare. First set is emblemed defense path for regular Gunnar. Second set is emblemed defense for cGunnar

Maybe something like this? Nordri is my only limit-broken hero (I drag poor little guy against every red titan, so…) His stats are pretty decent so perhaps be a tank here …



I have Gunnar+20 and his costume, but rn I’m more comfortable with more aggressive approach.

First I made this:

But then I remembered kvasir, which sort of is a necessity in this format. So:

Reasoning: Gunnar to soak up damage, kvasir for minions and their extra health, bjorn to punish, gato and tyrum for sniping. Slow in the center, avarage/fast flank, and fast wings. Can swap tyrum for agnes, but she’s really squishy, and then it’ll invite a dark stack. Although, bjorn does punish yellow, but yellow has some really good heroes now, with poppy and kvasir… so maybe I do want them to bring dark? Also, tyrum cleansing the probable minion-block from the opponent is also very welcome.

So writing this, I changed it again:

Any flaws in my reasoning?

Nordri will be 55 untill the start.

Question: Would Gunnar become more powerful with a non equipped limit broken costume?

2 Likes

I will go with the defense.

Nodri and Valen will be 55 as soon as possible.

I also Have Gunnar with costume at +20 but I think Kvasir is better tank. I also don’t have any other AoE 3* with emblem except Jahanger so C Gunnar might not work well for me.
