Just wanted to say thanks for putting out these guides.
Turns the seemingly impossible into the quite doable and rather enjoyable.
Still crawling my way through Rare with my Team Vanilla Crew, and thinking about how these guides really allow players to focus on strategy!
Cheers!
Epic completed with this team:
Is it a bug to have the same Emblem Class in 2 Difficulty Tiers?
Told myself after todayās SGGās communication after whole mega meaty portion fiasco that Iāll make single pull and if I wonāt get anything neat, I will consider quitting. So of course:
My first Grimforest 5*. People say sheās bad, but she heals so she has value for me. But I have Baldur and both even have same emblems, so this will be a very long run.
Donāt know if this is the right place to ask, but if I could get some advice on Rare 14?
Looks like a green/purple stack could work well, and I canāt decide between 3/2 green or purple.
Contemplating cBrienne, cBelith, cTyrum, Berden, Balthazar?
Or take out Berden for another Balthazar? Iām working with Season 1 heroes, just FYI, and those seem to be the most pertinent costumes, although I have others, but not in those colors.
Thoughts? TIA!
Edit: if it goes well, Iāll likely be back for 15, so Iād also take any feedback on that one. 
Red Hood is everything excepted bad. Sheās an amazing hybrid healer, really valuable in a lot of situations. Her main problem is her base stats. She would deserve a slight buff, in my opinion.
Iād go with Berden rather than Balthazar in this case. The boss I find irritating the most is Snow White and she can be a nightmare if you have too many buffs and the enemies too many ailments. Gretel doesnāt worry me so much. If she fires, use just an antidote or mana potion for c. Tyrum.
Just wanted to pop back in and give you an updateā¦
It worked! Woo hoo! Iāve never made it this far. 
I took your advice and used Berden instead of Balthazar. That might have actually made the difference. Ended up using a few Mana in some dry spots, as well as a couple each of Bear and Turtle banners.
Now to figure out Rare 15ā¦ dun dun DUUUNNN! 
Thanks so much for your advice!
Congrats!!! 
Honestly, I find the level 15 easier than 14. Just take blue heroes and normal Tyrum, as you need a dispeller against Puss in Boots and Boss Wolf.
Tentatively looking at cBelith (heals), Gunnar (sadly no c. lol), and either Valen x3 or throwing in a quickly leveled cUlmer.
Tyrum without costume, huh? I wouldnāt have even thought of him. I was worried about not having any/enough yellow/Holy for the boss fight?
So maybe cBelith, Gunnar, rTyrum, Valen x2?
Two different mana pots and bear and turtle banners sound right?
Again, thank you!
If you donāt have another healer, then Belith is a must, but I would use the normal version, as the dispel is more important in this case. Besides, there isnāt any enemy who dispells either.
3 Valens are fine and I even would take c. Brienne for her defense down. I know sheās green, but normal Gunnar doesnāt make sense, as except Red hood, the other two bosses donāt deal damage. However, if you can max Ulmer, then choose him.
So, the team would be: Belith-c. Brienne (or Ulmer)-Valen-Valen-Valen (or normal Tyrum).
Try defeating first the Red Hood and then Boss Wolf. I always leave the healers for the end.
Set her foxes off and then go kill a Vanaheim hero. Nice mana cut. Pause. Not.
The minions heal in perpetuity.
They heal on top of Gazelleās dance.
Incredible protection that goes unsung because sheās not new or shiny.
Crows and pickerel are attracted to shiny things. Donāt be a crow. Donāt be a pickerel.
Congrats on your pull. Youāre going to love her.
Iāve got all the vanilla 3* healers, but Hawkmoon is red (reflected), and Friar is, well, Friar. Belith it is. 
Iām doing it! Thatās the team. Belith, cBrienne, cUlmer, Valen, Valen. Speed finishing Ulmerās costume, hopefully tonight.
Side note, did 25 silver token pulls for cUlmer foodā¦ and got TWO Gunnars.
Iāll report back, and thanks again!
Iām on level 15 hard and Puss in Boots and Red Hood will not die. I played for 35 minutes and they just would not die. I even tried letting it auto-run.
You just donāt have enough firepower, its not a bug
I agree, you have to be able to hit them harder than they can heal. maybe try bringing items to help with your damage? Axe attacks, dragon attacks, bomb attacks are all great additional damage dealers
Stack mana and use blockers, then they will not heal.
Any updates? Hoping you ultimately triumphed!
Idk why I keep pulling in these events anymore. sksksk
