I can get any of these heroes completely maxed and LBd today, emblems however are sparse for a few classes.
HOLY
I’m second guessing gazelle but she’s who I want to ascend next. That said, what’s holding me back is the fact the buffed the WO3K heroes.
FIRE
For sure BK C is getting leveled, but I’m not sure if I should do Khufu or Oceanus instead. I’m focusing mainly on war/raids for all these heroes.
ICE
I want to do Loki but wizard emblems, never enough. So I could only get him to maybe node 8. Aino and Frida would be my next choices. I could also do a second Ariel and I could for sure use another healer and a 5* ice EDD. The question would be as far as healers, go for diversity and level Aino or go with a tried and true hero Ariel C. Again, overheal and mana over time, hard to beat but maybe I’m missing something.
NATURE
MN is for sure going next, but then who? I’m trying to avoid slower heroes, but I love Congalach. That said, Francine is fast and would be a great addiction to my green squad. Let’s assume I can pull Francine’s costume, is she still relevant? I have almost no hitters in green. Just a stand alone question as well, is alberich worth the materials and why?
DARK
This one’s rough. I have a very fast team I put together, it’s not completely assembled. It’s Nyx/Sergei/khonshu/onyx? Wanted to add kage C for the dispell first to compliment that team. But a few people mentioned he’s a bit dated, I could do a second khonshu but I need the debuff. That’s why oxy, Louhi and kage are high on the list.
Well there you have it. I’ve said it before I’ll say it again, you guys/gals have always helped me A LOT when you answer these threads, cheers!
I’ll try my best pal:
Holy I think Gazelle is a great choice. Can use in just about any situation, The others are good too, just not Delilah…she’s outclassed now
Fire I’d do Oceanus…Top 5 hero in the game for sure. Khufu next followed by Zenobia for Titans and yellow stacking
Ice - Damn I think Frida gets the nod as a sturdy EDD. If you’re doing mother north and gazelle, another healer can wait. Loki is so fun. love him but very fragile.
Nature: Yeah I’d do MN. Francine and Congalach are nothing to sneeze at.
Dark: This is the toughest. I’d lean towards Louhi, so many good things she does. C Jabber and Onyx are great too. And Agra and Caged burrito…GAH!

YELLOW
Gazelle, she is still one of the most usefull heroes in the game. She ia perfect for war/raid hits and can work extremly well everywhere else, maybe except defense.
RED
Khufu is great, he can deal huge amount of damage with proper team around him but I would choose Ocenaus first, he have solid combination of offensive and defensive skill and with him you don’t have to be worried about killing enemy tank.
BLUE
If you don’t have maxed Frida/Arthur then Frida first.
If you do then I would probably still choose Loki, +8 should be enough to keep him alive. Do you have c.Kiril maxed? He is good healer, even compared to 5*.
GREEN
Personally I think that c.Alberich is better than MN, his mana generation and HoT are more helpfull than MN minions.
If you want good hitter I would go for Congalach, his damage is way better than Francine and Old guy.
IMO Francine is relevant as a cleanser but her hit is weak compared to new heroes.
My choice would be Congalach because of his monster damage. (After MN/Alberich)
PURPLE
This one is hard. For dispell Onyx is probably the best option, he is more versatile than Kage.
I love Agrafena soo much, she is highly underrated and is a beast in offense, but if you need dispell go for Onyx.

I think this is just a brag post, but I’ll insert my opinion anyways.
Yellow - in the order you have them
Red - in the order you have them, except move QoH to the end
Blue - in the order you have them, except switch Frida and Finley (unless you need the elem def down for titans, then Frida first)
Green - in the order you have them, but Cong and M. North can swap if you need a res hero
Purple - reverse of the order you have them

You think I’m bragging? I don’t even know how you could come to that conclusion just looking at a few pictures. Listen, if you have to brag to strangers on the internet to validate yourself, that’s extremely sad. I’m not that guy.
Thanks for the help though I suppose lol.
@Radar1 @Chadmo Appreciate it! So many things going through my head. I know gazelles going to get a costume, she’s amazing, but that is what was holding me back. Same with MN. Great point about onyx. My only issue is he dispels after the hit. I’ll think that one over. You definitely swayed me on a couple heroes though, much appreciated.
I tend to look at it the other way, they are already both great heroes. If you are lucky enough to pull a costume, you already have it maxed and maxing a costume is MUCH easier
Gazelle, khufu, MN, aino, onyx

Can’t help but notice the level of your troops… I guess you must have at least 40 maxed +20 5* and an army of maxed 3 and 4* beside those shown above…
OP is not a bragger, it’s super obvious when it’s a brag post and this is not. Plus Ugk26 is a regular here and he’s not the type to brag.
Why didn’t you do a poll lol, I find you get more responses that way - though maybe it’s nice to get more comments and explanations. My votes would be Gazelle, Oceanus (I’ve just LB him and I love him), Congalach, Louhi and maybe Aino/Frida (I’m really undecided on blue but I really only use Frida for titans, plus a healer with mana down is unique). A lot of great heroes and it was tough so had to go off my own intuition. I feel like I would have picked MN if you had the costume. Anyway good luck with your decision, let us know how you go!

I wish I could help, but the game has moved too fast for me and I do not even know what over half of those amazing heroes do - and I rarely face them too, so my experience is so little. Good luck to you though - I’m positive you can’t go wrong with such amazing choices

This. Some two or three years ago, there were heroes that inflicted terror by only their presence on a defense line. Back then, you saw Guin or Grave you knew the same instant what you were up against, everyone knew their names and skills, at first glance. Nowadays, I see defense lines 2800+ cups, and I actually have no idea what the names of those heroes are, not to even mention the blissful ignorance regarding their special skills. I don’t even hesitate attacking them, only to find my team decimated within the blink of an eye, by some monstrous fast charging special skills.There are way too many 5* heroes with names impossible to pronounce or remember and special skills so complicated that you literally need a user manual to operate them. This was supposed to be a pleasant pass time, now you need a PHD to understand what’s going on… somewhere down the line, they lost contact with reality and turned E&P for us players, from a pass time into a full time job…

Louhi does have priority dispel, but she doesn’t meet your very fast requirement. I’d personally pick Agrafena, whose buffs are just insane, but she doesn’t either. That only leaves c/cb Kageburado for very fast priority dispel.
In the other colors, I concur with @Chadmo and @Radar1. Gazelle/Oceanus/Frida/Congalach, and it isn’t particularly close.

Yellow- i have heard great things about gazelle. I dont think you can go wrong with her.
Red- i have zenobia, she works well on raids. Even against taunters, as both her attacks land on the taunter. Plus she is the only red i think that manipulates the tiles. Khufu is just too slow, he is great against titans when you can use mana pots to charge him up to synergize with the team. Oceanus is a new hero who is also great against titans. Overall, i would lean in towards zenobia, can be used in more scenarios not just titans
Blue- if you have ariel, maybe aino could wait a bit. Dont get me wrong, she is 2 steps above ariel as a healer. Loki is really fun but i will recommend frida. Her EDD is unique (if you dont have arthur). Combo with cMagni or Athena and watch the damage go up.
Green- MN for sure. She has turned the tables for me more times than any other hero. The 50% revive can really be felt. Whenever i face a team with MN i prioritize to take her out (to dinner?) first. I am less afraid of Alby or Heimdall. I dont prioritize to kill them.
Purple- i will vote for Kage. If you already have Khonshu, they pair really well together. Like a 1-2 punch and would kill off 1 opponent after 6 tiles. Then if you have another fast/ave sniper like sartana/rayne, you can kill another hero after a 3rd match. I personally run a purple mono with kage-khonshu-cRigard-hel-rayne. 2nd match charges kage and khonshu and kills 1. 3rd match charges hel, rayne and khonshu again which pretty much is game over as you can manalock 1 side and poison/snipe straglers.

@Ian487 You’ll actually be surprised, I don’t. When I started the game, I made a choice. If I was going to pull for new heroes, I wasn’t going to level any S1 5s. I focused only on legendaries because again, at the time, feeders and materials were much more scarce for me. I literally just started building my 3/4 roster. Also glad I waited for better heroes as well in that regard, I mean the game is moving fast, what I ascended 7 months again would be slightly irrelevant now.
Also, with the troops, I realized very quickly, you can have the best heroes but without the proper troops, they won’t truly shine. So I also invested a lot into troops. I guess I did things much differently but happy I did.
@Ian487 As I’m sure you know, this game caters to the top 1%. They have A LOT of money to burn and they want more, so SG is giving it to them. I’d guess the top 10% account for 80% of the revenue.
Now I personally like having to read the cards. I used to be impatient with the game but as I progressed, I really slowed down and read quite a bit. But I can see how it becomes cumbersome, but again, if it’s too much for you, you aren’t their target audience. They want people at the top that farm all day and are obsessive about the game, they’re wayyyy less likely to leave or stop spending. Just my opinion.
@Kenzo So interesting, really glad I posted this. I wasn’t going to level Oceanus yet but I’m going to do it. I can level 2 reds if need be but wasn’t going to go that route, thank you!
I have no idea how to create a poll, if you can tell me, I would love to do that. You’re right, way more responses.
@e-man I should have mentioned I have Ariel’s costume. Overheal and mana over time. I don’t think that beats Aino. But maybe I’m wrong and it was possibly I didn’t say I had the costume and that confused things. Agreed with pretty much everything else you said.

That’s a very nice place to be with your heroes. My choice would be:
G. Gazelle
Oceanus
Lord Loki
Mother North
Costume Kageburado
Whichever heroes you choose good luck

@NicoX Hey, sorry I missed you. Thanks for the response, I’m so indecisive when choosing who to ascend. I’m still trying to figure out if I want to ascend Aino or a second Ariel C. I use two healers when I raid and in war and I’m short a couple that would be really helpful. The biggest thing is the overheal. If Aino at least had a chance to overheat like Azmia for example, she would 100% go first.
Anyway, hope you’re well!
