Advice request - Akkorog or Uraeus

I’m looking for advice on dart allocation. I’ve got Akkorog and Uraeus both at 3-70 and the primary need is on defense, but of course versatility is a consideration. Thanks in advance…

When you mention defense does that mean you don’t have a worthy five star holy hero already?

More info about your roster would be helpful.

The general consensus seems to be the rearrange is annoying so I’m guessing Uraeus will be recommended more.

Thanks for the reply. I’ve got a decently deep roster with 5* maxed holy heroes of Onatel, Joon, Malosi, Guinevere, Neith, and Vivica, with Thor, Akkorog, Uraeus, Leonidas, Justice, and Bae Yong at 3-70 (no costumes). I don’t have a clear holy favorite like Sif, Odin, Drake, Poseidon, etc. for defense so I typically run two green (Frigg and Kingston or Alberich) but I’d like to get back to a rainbow defense and think Uraeus or Akkorog could fill that slot. I see more Uraeus than Akkorog in raid defenses but I don’t know if that’s because more people have him or if Uraeus is just the better option. I hope that helps, but let me know if anything else would help. I do have Fogg and Lepiota, so family bonus could play a part, but both seem like they’re much better on offense than defense and I don’t see pulling Frigg or Freya for them.

If for defense… how are you on emblems between those 2 heroes?

Who are you tanking?

I wish I had guin… seems like Guin, onatel or even neith would make better flanks. For defense.

If you’re looking for a wing… why not Thor?

Thanks for the reply. My defense is currently a double for raids and a purple tank for war. For raid defense, I run Finley (+20), Freya (+19), Frigg (+20), Tyr (+19), and Alberich (+20). For war, I swap Freya and Frigg so Freya is tank.
I ran Guinevere at tank for a while in raid D and Kunchen for a while, but Freya seems to work better and with the double defense having her and Tyr fast seems to be pretty effective. I think I would go with Thor if his special didn’t cycle back to effect 1 after effect 3, but I feel like he’s just not that great.
Your emblems comment, I think, seals it for me, so thanks again! I’ve actually got Rumplestiltskin with 20 talents because outside of Quintus, I don’t have any other 5* sorcerers so Rigard has 20, Jott has 20, and then I maxed Rumplestiltskin and am working on Quintus but I can switch to Uraeus as soon as I max him where I’d have to pull emblems from Neith for Akkorog and I feel like Neith > Rumplestiltskin so I think Uraeus is my play.

Uraeus > Akkorog for the minion counter alone. I have both heroes, and I don’t regret choosing Uraeus even though Krampus and Norns hog all my sorcerer emblems…

Thanks and yeah I went ahead and pulled the trigger for Uraeus since I can easily make the call to move emblems from Rumplestiltskin where Akkorog would have been a tougher choice. I don’t have Norns or Krampus or really any very good sorcerer heroes where with Ranger I’ve got Finley, Neith, and Athena using those emblems. Plus when Fogg gets ascended, I’ll be able to rob Almur of his emblems and have even more sorcerer emblems to work with for Lepiota when she gets maxed. Right now sorcerer definitely is not my strongest class.

For defense purposes akkorog is your choice. He hits like a truck and the shuffle is not a problem at all in defense in the contrary it can annoy the attacker and/or benefit to your other hit three heroes you may have.

Snipers are meh in defense and average speed snipers even worst.

Uraeus is great
Akkorog not so much

I think Akkorog will be my next yellow ascension unless I land Odin or Sif or someone like that. I went with Uraeus for now because of having the sorcerer emblems to max him right off the bat. I do like how hard Akkorog hits and think the shuffle will actually be more benefit than harm. Thanks for the feedback.

It’s your game and Akkarog should be fun, but I do believe you’ve made the right choice to ascend Uraeus first. He’s a must-have when the opposition includes minions. He isn’t that boring either, I mean, his animation is a huge snake bite so that’s quite entertaining!

Akkarog is the worst of the hit 3 attackers. I don’t like heroes who only hit 3 much to start with because of what I call the power loss like when they hit the flanks on a full team. Akkarog does what the other hit 3s don’t if there’s 4 left on defense he will easily move 3 out of the way and hit just the 1 on offense if you use him against a purple tank he will easily change the tank color maybe even to yellow
