I’ve upgraded roster size until it hit 100 gems. I have a few 4*'s like Brynhild, Holly x2, Boldtusk, Hu Tao, Danzaburo. 3*s like Aqeela, Bane, Gan Ju, Carver, Dawa, Gunnar, Valen. I’m really tempted to do a 10 pull from Gargoyle Event. Some have told me to spend them on a summons that offer no chance of Season 1 heroes. But idk when or what ones those are and I’m getting impatient lol. Any advice?

What @sleepyhead said, CF1/CF2 owing to the higher chance to get epic heroes - 25% from memory - (and higher pull rates in general I think) AND the fact that there are no S1 heroes in those portals

For your help it’s fixed date is 26-30 January 
Hope you’ll get something new

The other option is costume festival. The heroes are all S1 but with costumes, some of which are very strong. If you use duplicates, this can give you multiple strong heroes because one costume can be used to create as many versions of the costume hero as you want as long as you have dups of the S1 hero.

Your goals at this point are to learn about the game and have fun with it. There’s actually very little you could do at this point that you would look back on a year from now and say that you did it wrong. Save your Hero Tokens for seasonal events. Save your troop tokens for tower events. Most players radically underestimate the importance of troops. Hero’s are too shiny. You need to find a balance there.
The portals that have been recommended are all good. I like the Costume one over the others, but up to you. A ten-pull out of the troop portal when a tower is active is probably a better use of your gems though.

I was lucky enough to pull one 4* mana troop already, but will definitely save my future tokens for Tower. A lot of helpful people in this community
