Hello friends!
I have never had a good barbarian. Just to use them I have them on Little John +16 that will be reset, 9 on Nordi and 6 on Namahage.
I finally have worthy heroes! So where to put them? Gretal and Jott are close to being maxed. Gretal seems to be ideal but my green titan team of blues is woeful. On top of that I FINALLY pulled Grimm today in TC 20. Will start from scratch on the mighty Bluebarian.
After resets I should have over 800 emblems. Whatcha all think?
it’s depend on your roster, do you have any def down like tiburtus or wilbur or any def down hero? if not, i’ll going with grimm. Joot without emblem still has a big impact on blue tiles.
if you have any def down hero, then i’ll going to Gretel or still to LJ for his tiles attack.
I have a lot of defense down. And I use Kiril first on red titans.
800 emblems is enough to bring 2 4*s to +18 or obviously you could spread them around to all three.
I’d probably save enough to bring grimm to +18 (395) and maybe spread the rest between Gretel and Jott. You could start conservatively until you decide which of the two you get more use out of.
And I know LJ has great tile damage, I just don’t like using him. dies a lot before he fires.
Super helpful. Spread a little joy until Grimm is maxed.
I wish I had more info on jott. I’ve used him but there has to the best way and I’m missing how to do it.
From what I understand, the best thing about jott is his attack boost stacks with all other kinds (Kiril, miki, etc). I don’t have him but I have Ratatoskr and I can definitely see the potential. You could always read through the info about him since their mechanics are similar.
LJ is an absolute beast with emblems. Mine is +20 and he is awesome. Also have a +20 Grimm that is also a monster. I’d keep emblems on LJ, but load everything new onto Grimm. Grimm is better overall and it more versatile than LJ, but make no mistake: LJ is worthy.
After using him I’m kinda meh on him. I know many members swear by him, maybe I’m not using him well. When I stack a 3-2 team it’s almost always buddy-brynhild-Gregorian. LJ sits, but I do use him on blue titans but will be replaced if I max Margaret (still so want a better green 5)
I’d vote Grimm unless you have Athena or isarnia’s costume.
Then it’s a toss up between LJ and gretel.
I used LJ on titans for a long while. His base attack stats are great, so even better with emblems. I’d imagine he’d be a nice choice for some 4* vf raid tournaments as well.
I use gretel more often than LJ and do have her emblemed to +18 (like you, no worthy 5* barbarians). She sees more playing time since she’s faster than LJ and I can pair her up with my +18 Hansel for a small family bonus.
Solid advice! Look like Jott is the wild card. I’ll bleed a few into Gretal and that give me time to level Grimm. Helpful as always, much thanks
I like Gretel a lot too, I actually stripped Grimm from emblems early to give most of my emblems to Gretel.
I took the defensive route however, which gave her a bit more defense and HP without the 800+ attack stat. That’s fine for me, as I use her mainly for the spell slay effect, not for damage, so I need her to survive longer.
In a void, I’d suggest Grimm.
If you have other def down options, then the decision isn’t so straight forward. In that event, you can go for Gretel. Her witch slayer special comes in handy in many clutch situations where you’re out of fire power and you need to keep an enemy hero in check for sometime till you get some favorable tiles.
However, I have one small addition to everything advised above. It’s not clear from your original post whether you intend to remove emblems from Nordri… but my suggestion is don’t. That little guy needs them for his survival. (I am assuming you do not have Frida or King Arthur. If you do, then please ignore this ramble.)
I have mine emblemed till +20 and he is an invaluable part of my titan team and my mono blue team.
Cheers!!
Wonderful, thank you. Yeah I like the beefier Nordi and don’t plan on it. Unless I ever get a “must have in my defense barbarian” like Gravemaker.
If I were you, I’d still not be comfortable removing emblems from Nordri… even if it is for the one and only Grave Maker…
The impact Nordri had on my Red Titan scores and on my mono blue team lies just on the border of indescribable for a small 3* hero.
However, I do understand where you’re coming from… 
How do you keep Nordi alive in titan battles? I’m lucky for him to survive having one charge move.
What level titans do you battle?
For me, his survival is ensured through a combination of two aspects:
And of course, as the tiles roll, Kiril starts healing and adds an additional defense layer.
If in the future, I feel Nordri is not sturdy enough for my comfort, I’ll probably re-emblem him along the def-hp path.
Before I levelled Vela, I used Wilbur to save the team (not optimal, but my best bet in those days). But this method required use of more potions - health and mana.
Hope this helps.
Cheers!! 
Really helped!! Hitting 8 and 9 star titans. I may use him with every red titan from here one out and find my groove. When the blue cascade starts with his special active, it is pretty damn magical indeed!
