So here we go again: Fated Summons round 3.
Since we were out of S2 heroes to cycle through they were (as expected) replaced with CF1 heroes. SG picked the worst ones of that lot, so not much in terms of use for us, but the good new is: It´ll be a nicer choice in 6 month
Still there are some heroes on this list worth picking. And as always if you have any costumes, picking duplicates may be the best thing to do.
S1: As always: None of course, no point even looking (unless you need quick food for next SE, but you can pick that one without looking, too!)
CF1: None of them this time, make sure to look next time, there should be something interesting then. For event hero enthusiasts I am not sure who to recommend, maybe Rumpel because he is the most fun? But all of them suffer very much from old age and low stats. They don´t have skills that are age resistant.
Hotm: Superstar Frida! EDD+dispel. Awesomeness! If you don´t know who to pick, pick her!
The other 4 are OK, and people lacking in a certain color can potentially use one of them. Personally I find Anzogh appealing, Margaret has her fans with dodge at VF speed, Bai Yeong just got a damage buff (at least he´s more fun than Joon!) and Khiona is, well, purple
S3: Has the overall best heroes as usual (they are the newest ones of the lot). Frigg is the star of this row for sure and for most people that look in earnest at this FS (whales don´t care who´s in there anyway) she will make a really strong defense hero! She was once part of the meta defense (maybe 2 years ago), so people playing at that level can´t find a better option for defense. A rather big hit-all with defdown at fast speed and a Rogue to boot!
Norns have their niche use for titans, especially of course the Mythic titans, when you need more than just one team, she allows you to play an entire team of heroes that would otherwise be useless. So in terms of MTs she counts for 5 heroes But if you play in the lower parts of the game, she can be used for much more than just MTs, after all the hit is bigger than many others and the color weakness becomes a bonus.
Salmon Loki: Absolutely worth considering, he is MUCH better than his name. Doesn´t mean all that much, as he is called the worst hero in the game, but he definitely is not, he is more like a Top 5 pick on this list
Fenrir (a personal favorite of mine, he was the first hero I wanted, when I started playing and before I could tell gold from trash). Not a great hero for sure, but he can be used for cleaning up targets. Once the enemy is below 50% health Fenrir can take a kill shot. Funny thing is, half a year after later (when I could tell he wasn´t very good) I actually got him, while aiming for a Heimdall lol. I have maxed and emblemed and LBed him for sentimental reasons Not a must have, but after you picked Frida and want another blue, he is better than Rumpel (unless you plan a career as trickster god)…
Baldur: Strange hero this guy. At low level play he can be a real pain in the behind to play against. If you have trouble fighting him, chance are that people attacking you will have problems with him as well. Otherwise he´s just a fun character in Norse mythology, if you plan to reenact some of those stories or something, he will come in handy
Just as a reminder: We now have cycled through nearly all S3 heroes, so I expect, next FS will have them replaced by something else. S4 would be fun!
So as a summary:
Top 3 picks: Frida, Frigg and Norns
For people that really want a specific color, I would add the top pick for red as Anzogh and for purple as Salmon Loki. Top pick! Not an attribute our good old fishy is used to, so let him enjoy his day, or half year, in the spotlight.
As you can see I picked Frida as my first pick, which was an easy choice for me since I already have Norns and Ma´at (the upgraded S5 version of Frigg).
Have fun with your shiny new (well shiny old?) toys! May they serve you well!
