Iāve got all the other tc20 yellow 4* maxxed, Iāve got Justice and Joon maxxed with Leo waiting on darts from sand castles.
So, any reason to max Hu the Kung Fu Panda?
Anyone using him to tank in tournaments, particularly the rush-mana-kill-death-quick variety?
Any use in Epic events?
Iām strictly f2p (we know, yawn) so itās only Vivica who has a reasonable chance of showing up apart from a handful of Atlantis and event summons every month.
Got one at 3/60 as my first yellow 4* and now have 2 more at 1/1.
Donāt have the luxury of your yellow roster, and sitting with 14 orbs but only 1 gloves.
Canāt find a reasonable way that he gets that final ascensionā¦ Unfortunately.
Mineās been at 1/1 for months and isnāt close to my list of who to level next. I just donāt see much use for him outside the Very Fast raid tourney.
F2P and a collector, so you can kind of see where I am going with this too. I have him on my roster after pulling him from TC20 a few months ago, got him to 3^60 and at the time did not have any other yellow heroes to work on that werenāt already maxed. I couldā¦ potentially waste the additional XP per each yellow feeder to level up my other colored heroes that needed attention, but I am also a strict color diet type of playerā¦ Was about to do it when I got Guardian Jackal, which immediately puts him ahead on the yellow hero list before Hu Tao.
But after Jackal is done maxed and on his way to getting Emblems, there is big sad panda sitting there. I went ahead and gave him the Gloves/Compass and Orbs for the go ahead. Again, because I have no other yellow heroes to work on at this time. I did manage to get Justice about a month or so ago, from TC20. But Hu Tao is at the very core, Justice ālightā and it will take me a lot longer to work on Justice than I will with Hu Tao.
What he can be used for, aside from wars, is another option for Trials where Fighters are called for, Raid Tournaments where Fast Attack is active and only 4* and below are allowed.
The collector aspect in me would want to eventually max out at least a copy of each of the hero I intend to keep (3* and above). So I didnāt look back on the decision or have any regrets. If it werenāt for the hero space cap, Iād have probably kept a maxed copy of little brother Sha Ji on the bench too.
My first thought was fighter class trials. I plan to level him for that, since thereās a pretty steep drop between my best fighter (Poseidon 4^80) and my next best fighter (Valen+20). But that would probably change if I had some of the fighters that some folks commonly do (Boldtusk and Colen, specifically, but four-star reds are avoiding me like the plagueā¦ except Kelile!) But even at that, Iām in worse shape for monks, so Iām going to take Leonidas to at least 2^60 (maybe 3^70) before I start the panda, and I will probably also do Wu Kong and/or Li Xiu before him as well, so by that time, he may no longer be a leveling priority.
That said, I believe pretty strongly that every (or almost every) hero has a purpose, and Iād probably level him for that alone if I had the mats and he was the next man up. Is yours at 1^1, 3^60, or somewhere in between?
I used a maxed Hu Tao during raid tournament. The one that was restricted to 4* and had all skills set to very fast. My enemies were almost always blind. It was great.
Hu Tao is really good on the raid tournaments when you can only use 4* heros and their specials are Very Fast.
Thats quite a ānicheā usage, but does anyone whoās played for a good bit really need to think about using 4x orbs, 1x compas and 1x gloves?
If youāre not working on anyone more important right now-now, Iād definately say max him. If nothing else heās definately useless as a 1.1 and youāre not going to feed him away if heās your only panda.
And thats coming from a person who hates pandas. Evolutionary dead ends.
I have one of every panda in my roster, Sha ji, Gan Ju, and Hu Tao. Hu is the only one I havenāt maxed yet tho, heās still at 3/60. I would have maxed him if I had more gloves but Iām lacking those.
Hu Tao really shines in rush attack tourneys. Thatās enough reason to max the 4* panda imo. I say go for it.
@Zephyr1 has a fairly extensive discussion of why he likes the big bad bear, and this would probably be a great opportunity for him to update that compilation
I read lots of arguments on who is worthy of AM.
My answer is all characters are worty of AM.
Their are always other factors to who you level in this game. Maybe this is the only 4* you have or how about more depth on your bench. Whatever the case Hu Tao is not the only slow mana character in the game. Sometimes you have to play the hand you are dealt. You never know you may find something others have not that works for you & your play style in this game.
Hu Tao has a good survivability. I understand your point of not leveling him up given the fact you have a 4/80 Justice. I finished ascending him to 4/70 just about 2 weeks ago, and I havenāt been able to use him as I would have wanted (I did want him for Corellia, but event was skipped. Thus, he didnāt have the chance to shine). Anyway, any AOE will be well paired with my Wilbur, and the 35% blindness applied on all enemies is incredibly good. For a slow mana hero, his special is worth the slow speed, and he will surely survive long enough to fire.
I feel like Iām giving you a reason for not to level him up, but this is more like a fast review of him, and might be more useful for the ones who have him but donāt have Justice. I just feel there are more players than I thought who dislike slow mana heroes, but for what Hu Tao does, I will match those 12 yellow tiles with patience
I also learned information about pandas, because I play a game where pandas are the main characters. Therefore, I was interested in this issue and it turned out that more than 5,000 species are endangered. After reading about it here, I was surprised that pandas are on this list. After all, they seem so defenseless, although they can stand up for themselves.
