[Discussion] Little John, Wu Kong and Guardian Falcon walk into a roster or Avoiding off topic flags or ThePirateKing and Little John or Answering the question “X depends on your roster” for another player
Little John
Unless you need Little John for reflect / eliminate purple 4* situations, both Proteus and Tarlak cover almost all of Little John’s basic functions. You could level Little John, but not much added to your roster.
Wu Kong
I am surprised you have not leveled Wu Kong ( most overpowered 4* in Empires ). If you do decide to level Wu Kong, I would off color, all 1* / 2* hero, power level Wu Kong to 4* 4.70 edit and then Ranvir to 5* 4.80. Both are have insanely powerful effects if you can let their good, and their bad, average out. Since you already have Tarlak leveled, no need to do Tarlak after Wu Kong but before Ranvir.
Guardian Falcon
Falcon is also not very high level. The single best elemental defense debuff in the game. The defense stat of a red 5* hero with decent 4* HP ( similar to Ranivr ) lets him stay alive. Target and nearby red defense debuff can effect 3 targets and an only be overwritten by a red defense debuff / buff. Boldtusk is also red, has revive, heal and nerfed from 5* Boldtusk stats to an actual 4* Boldtusk stats. Wilbur lowers enemy defense for the rest of the team, and gives team a defense boost, which is insanely powerful considering Falcon’s and Boldtusk’s defense stats.
Normally I would not off color, all 1*/ 2* hero, power level Falcon, but Falcon is a 5* Hero in disguise, like the old Boldtusk. A niche 5* Hero in disguise, but still. With but with Boldtusk, and Wilbur, a very very effective niche. Do not use against blue titans. Combine him with the heroes in your roster and Falcon will definitely improve the power of you roster.
5* 3.70
Normally I advice 2x rainbow 5* 3.70 teams before spending any 4* ascension items, but with your 3* / 4* roster you do not have to wait. Good mix of defense 5* and attack 5* only handicapped by the solo hero nature of Classic 5* Heroes and the lack of Classic 5* Healers.
You may level Little John just for his grave damage ( tile / matching damage when dead ), group mana control, farming 1.8-7 ( Tarlak and Little John, together they fight wolves ) and lack of critical 5* Heroes to level.
