I have him on max and his costume. He even has a few emblems……
But sadly he gets very, very little use outside of the occasional war….
There are so many alternative / better greens available.
Even the proposed 2nd costume leaves him “wanting” …
The advice I currently give to alliance colleagues is not to level him and wait for something better to give those mats to. This is a game of patience, don’t rush to level something that is basically “pants” …
For me personally, I am currently thinking of taking the emblems off Elkanen and giving them to 4* Anton …
Just my opinion and my two pennies worth.
