I’ve just about maxed out my main defense team (all to +18 except one which I’m more than happy with for now), I’m starting to gather spare emblems to either use on 4* or 5* that I use in wars and tournaments etc.
At the moment it’s around 150-200 or so which means 8-9 nodes on a 4* vs. only 3 nodes in a 5*. But I want to go down one path so I don’t need to keep resetting if I change my mind. For example:
Cleric emblems on my White Rabbit/Grimble or Hansel/Mist?
Sorcerer emblems on Mitsuko or C. Sabina/Almur?
Fighter emblems on Kingston or Boldtusk?
Paladin emblems on Frida or G. Falcon?
Should I stop putting druid emblems on Alby (14+) and put them on Gullinbursti instead? He’s in my defense team but I’ve also considering replacing him since I don’t think he’s as popular anymore?
The way I look at using emblems… is who do I use most and what parts of the game do I focus on.
So as an example I don’t bother much with 3* tournaments so I only put 1 emblem on my main players.
I do like the 4* tournaments and some 4* get to play in war so I go to +11 emblems on the main ones.
5* get used the most in raids, war and the map progression- so the main 5* I take to +19/20 and the others used in colour stack etc get to +9
But that’s just how I look at it
I have had a similar dilemma. So I tried to look at:
How often and for how long I’d use some heroes
How important is for me to be competitive in the tournaments
Concerning point 1), if you feel you are going to use a certain 4* only for 2-3 more months until you max a certain 5*, I’d say not to bother so much with embleming them. If you feel they are going to be useful to you on long term because of their special (at least around 6 more months), emblem them.
Also for tournaments, if you are very competitive, make sure you have at least 2-3 3* and 4* heroes of each element with emblems. Otherwise, don’t bother too much. One thing though - I think that in tournaments you get your first matches for attacks according to the TP of your defense team. So if you have all your defense heavily emblemed, expect to get matches with very strong defense teams.
Oh interesting approach, thanks for sharing. Yeah I feel like I use those 4* and 5* equally except the 5* more in raids. I guess I was just weighing up whether it’s more efficient on 4* since they get a lot more stats due to being cheaper. Sorry I’m back from a hiatus so I’m a bit rusty. Appreciate your feedback anyhow!
That’s very helpful, thanks! It sure gives me a lot to think about haha, will try and take those factors into consideration. I don’t think I’m overly competitive with tournaments, hence I haven’t got any 3* emblemed. I only have certain 4* emblemed as they are ones I use in wars and also those 4* events
Also consider if you have any reset emblems? They are more common now from Trials so if you’ve got a few of those spare it’s fine to experiment because you only loose some food and iron.
You can get aethers from top 1, 5 & 10% of tournaments so embleming heroes you use for tournaments is also quite valuable. Better to have those emblems on a hero that you use occasionally than sitting in storage doing nothing!
My reasoning a lot of time is based on how often used. For 5 stars, I immediately put them on heroes that are use a lot for defense AND offense, like Freya, Frigg and Skadi. The one i use often, not a lot I will give them some emblems, like Glenda, Khiona and Marjana.
Most depends on availbility. Like right now I have over 700 sorcerer emblems and literally have no 4 or 5 stars to put them on. If I have an abundance, I often max heroes that aren’t worthy, like C Skittleskull.
Either way don’t worry too mch about it, any hero you emblem will benefit…you just need to make sure it doesn’t gather dust with emblems.
