I highly recommend reading these three threads for more information and context on summoning odds:
If you’ve read them a million times before, you may consider reading them again before deciding on your budget for summoning. A little time spent deciding on how much money you want to risk on summoning goes a long way to avoiding disappointment, frustration, and regret later.

I really like Rigard he has always been one of my favorite 5* heroes in a 4* card.
I’ll try a few, but I’m still saving for another
Good luck everyone!
I used to use C2 Rigard in war attacks quite regularly against ~6k teams, but nowadays his overheal is subpar because of the HP inflation. I got his toon costume now and will definitely reset the emblems and start using him again. Now that I think of it, actually I do think he is worth master emblems as well.
Given how low the toon stat boost is for 4* compared to 5*, it is a real shame that SG has given toon Rigard high attack (useless) and lower shield/health compared to the original.
It doesn’t take much to be nice to players (especially those that don’t spend much), but SG seems to like to give us all the finger
I was really excited about this costume, but don’t think it will work in wars with these stats
I didn’t reset Rigard’s emblems so he’s really optimized for his second costume, which means losing 27 defense in his toon form. Probably not worth it to reset him.
pity his stats is bad on toon, with useless attack and low def and hp. I don’t know if the toon is worth it or just use normal version and save the mats.
The toon passive is a big advantage. 75% extra chance to resist all status ailments, mana reductions and buff dispels. Only the toon hero has this ability.
Throw us a bone SG & give Rigards toon cozzie the stats. he deserves cuz in his current iteration he just can’t compete in todays mega not with such high attack stats. I just don’t get the idea behind giving him high attack when he is a healer that does no dmg. Very strange & another 1 to chalk up to brain fade !! Once again it wouldn’t matter as much to the whales & wud benefit C2P & F2P more & maybe that’s why we don’t see it. Even with master emblems he’s not quite there yet. It wud be a nice gesture in their part that wud show they still care about us lower tier players. Help our roster longevity SG.
First, 4* healers (and defensive heroes in general) are already far too strong and don’t need a buff. 4* tournmanets are the most boring and frustrating events in the game since all the attack heroes basically suck while the defensive heroes are all OP and can easily survive in 5* world.
Second, there is a balance betwen Toon Kiril, Melandor and Rigard and buffing Rigard would ruin this. At the moment, Menandor and Rigard both have mediocre stats (Melandor is also high attack low defence) but really strong special skills. Kiril has better stats but his special skill isnt as good. If Toon Rigard was buffed then he would just become the best of the three (like in the pre-toon era when C2 Rigard was the best 4* hero by far and noone else got used)
Third I dont know why you thin he cant compete in the meta? He is great in 4* tournmanets (as are Kiril and Melandor) and can also be used in 5* world (just like the other two). You might need a legendary troop and master emblens if you want to take him above 2800 trophies or so. I hit 3600 trophies running Toon Kiril in my main attack team, Rigard only has 70 less defence so he would presumably be viable too.
