Well I should ask Can Emilio replace Gravemaker in my offense team. Just pulled Emilio last week and he seems doing a lot for a very fast mana, could fit in my red attack team for raid or war. Here is the red mono team what I usually use, Nadezhda/Zimkitha/Gravemaker/QoH/Gefjon. Do you think it will be more stronger if I replace GM with Emilio? That way with in 6 tiles, I can fire both Nadezhda and Emilio, which is 500+ hp regen and some burn also status protection. That seems pretty strong with only 6 tiles. So should I start to work on this?
I’m also making choice for the next red 5* to LB, have Octros and Elizabeth ready, who should I LB? Not useing them much for offense. Currently Octros is in my def team but I can use either of them really, does not seem like a big difference.
I think you would be better off replacing Zim or Nedezdha. With GM and Emilio, Fire GM first and Emilio is a VF healer that blocks status ailments. No need for either Zim or different healer. Put another hitter in and go.
What they said. I’ve never been that worried about GM either. On a side note, I’ve been playing this game for over 3 years and spent more than I ever meant to, but I don’t have a single one of the reds listed in this thread
I stand by the pairing of GM and Emilio. I use those two together regularly raiding in upper diamond and they are a great combo. You can usually fire Emilio 2 x in the time it takes to get Nedezdha to fire her revive. By then the battle is usually decided. I rarely see Zim in any lineups at this point. If you have a Vf blocker she’s not needed.
OP and others have not been specific about troops. I have two red mana troops.
But, let’s suppose a player has only one red mana troop. Once it is at level 9, it is assigned to GM. Once Gravemaker is fired, enemies have burn ailment. Emilio needs one red tile to fire. This is brst use as Emilio’s passive goes off.
I have some red mana troop but not very high level for most of them, got 1 of em to lv30 and a couple lv11 ones, rest are still lv1. Not sure if a lv11 mana troop is enough for a very fast hero to fire with 6 tiles. One thing I feel good is Nadezhda, I feel like her 1st skill takes less than 6 to fire. I’ve tested it with a ninja troop on Nade and matched 6 tiles in a raid, then she is ready to fire and even have a little bit more left over, like 1/5 or 1/6? So in this case I only need 1 high lvl mana troop to fire 2 with 6 tiles.
I think the problem with having GM and Emilio is that Em overwrites GM’s burn.
Nadez has a minor burn, and it’s very fast, that will assist Emilio. They make a good pair. I’m not sure you need Zim in that lineup anymore tbh.
I usually run 4-1 with Nadez - Ferant - JF - Elizabeth as my reds, but I also have Emilio on 3-70 and thinking about maxing him since I don’t have any other status-ailment blockers. JF’s burn is only 2 rounds, so they can work together and I can save Nadez for revives.
My personal take and experience is Emilio is an awesome support fire damage hero. The strategy is to always fire him after your booster first before your burning fire damage team composition. The truth in stellar heros in the right team strategy is to seriously work on your troops across the board. Troops absolutely make the difference in totality. Good luck!
