Any suggestion : which is better 3* ice heroes 
Greymane vs Gunnar vs Valen
Thx
In my opinion you canāt just pick one of these and declare it simply ābetterā - they have different specials, Gunnar is entirely defensive, while Valen is offensive. Greymane is mostly offensive as well though he has a small defensive element where he heals himself some based on damage dealt.
Out of these 3, Greymane doesnāt excite me too much. Iāve pulled multiple Greymaneās and never leveled one up. But Iāve got both a maxed Valen and a Gunnar on my roster.
Valen is an excellent fast striker, deals quite a punch and takes away 34% defense from the enemy he hits (at max).
Gunnar is one of 2 heroes that have the Spirit Link special skill (the other being yellow 3* Kailani), which gives all your heores a big defense boost (63% at max), and causes damage to any hero to be spread out among all heroes. This combination really makes for quite a strong defensive skill - there arenāt any 4* or 5* heroes that have this.
Which one is better for you depends on what other heroes you already have, and what your priorities are. Not knowing anything else at all, I might give a slight nod to Valen as he will be slightly more universally useful - Gunnar wonāt accomplish a lot against Titans for example. But if you have need for defenseā¦ Gunnar all the way.

Gunnar (a blue Kailani, basically) when maxed is great for defense team at lower levels (when you donāt have any strong 4* yet). Putting him in the back so he is protected from most of tile damage can work wonders.
Valen is my choice for Rare stage for Challenge Events. Gunnar (or Kailani) can work too but since theyāre slow mana (or really slow?) they can take a lot of damage before they fire their special so either donāt use them or keep an eye on them & heal with potions if necessary.
Greymane is interesting but I find him a little too squishy (is that what the forum slang for ādying too quicklyā? 
).
IMO Valen is most universal. Rating 3* depends on how strong your team is. If you only have 3* available in your roster, basically everyone is good for something. As soon as you move up and start building up your 4*/5* teams, you leave 3* behind and use them only for Challenge Events or AW. There are a few universally good 3* that are usefull to leave with you even if you have a 5* maxed team.

Iād agree with much of the above.
One caveat would be to consider Gunnar as a second line on raid defence so he charges quicker.
I find that a when at the back, the spirit link characters are often the only ones left by the time they charge, in which case the special is useless.
As for valen - defence Debuff is considered one of the primary specials against Titans. Heād be good for maybe 4* titan and under, unless you pump him full of health potion and turtle banners.

Valen is best Valen is life. Iāve used him even against 10*. Atm going against 7* and he can take one hit. He is on my titan team for every titan 
(maybe someday I can get a ramming pulverizer)

Thanks alot , very helpfull.
If you donāt have survivability problems then:
Valen > Graymane > Gunnar
If you have troubles keeping alive heroes then:
Gunnar > Graymane > Valen
If you use Friar Tuck as only healer then:
Graymane > Gunnar > Valen
