As an owner of 3 costume Rigard’s, full emblems & limit broken, I can say he is the cornerstone of my game play. Raids, farming, events, titans, tournaments, your sisters ■■■, I use Rigard for everything. A 4.99999 Star.

[giZm0_o]

A little bit outdated but still very solidand a backbone of nearly any roster. He has a hard time nowadays as the meta is nearly too fast for him and xeno locks purple. So while he was good enough to hold its ground against top tier heroes for a longtime, he is slowly decreasing in value.

[sleepyhead]

He’s a key part of my Titan, raid, PvE teams… great combination of skill effects. I was so happy when I finally got him!

[Rabiddogg]

I don’t use him, he is still on the bench for “when I get to him”. However I have fought against him. I usually don’t even worry about him unless he is almost gone and a MP get knock him out.

[mrchief]

Bring him with on attacks and he’s a god walking amongst mortals. Cleanse, atk up plus health boost - solid combo and easy synergy with many heroes. I bring him on raids and consistently beat 5k+ teams easily.

[Dudeious.Maximus]

This is ONE of the best 4* heros in the game .
Have one LB +18 have another 2 maxed if i had spare cleric emblems id def consider giving another some, Def worth multiple copies of.

[Hyakuman]

I loves my costume Rigard. But I have to wonder: why on earth did they make him a ranger class?

[sleepyhead]

it’s not the most useful class for him indeed, but maybe they did it to give the Rangers a relatively accessible healer.

I do like that it helps with tile damage at least, but indeed it’s not the most useful class for a healer/buffer/cleanser

[Hyakuman]

True, definitely need a ranger healer for the Trials.

[Maximo101]

I dont have his costume but both my son’s 2nd LB him, shield path.
