Often I refer back to the post of @FraVit93 when players ask which 3* heroes are worth keeping or how to make up a good 3* rainbow team. Thank you again for the clear and structured post. It gave me the idea of creating the same line-up for 4* and 5* heroes. The Event, HOTM and Atlantis heroes have a bold font. Please adjust the list or add improvements where necessary.
I did not include:
- The effects of elemental link.
Many heroes their special effects include more than one significant effect, so I added each hero to the category which is applicable to the hero. The classes of each hero are also mentioned.
VF = Very Fast, F = Fast, A = Average, S = Slow, VS = Very Slow
