Gravemaker #2 or Marjana?

Leveled / leveling portion of roster attached. Rings will be in place shortly — which would you level?

Nice Seshat x5 :smiley:

I’d go with Marjana before any duplicates, I prefer variety on a roster since you never know which heroes will get updates or balance patches.

Yeah I got a little crazy on Grimforest — beer and pulls oh my lol.

I think I’m a little thin on snipers so Marjana is probably the right call.

Nah dude definitely Gravemaker number 2. I have Marjana maxed and literally never use her not even in war. She’s totally mediocre. Marjana is on my defense team and that’s it, just as a kind of placeholder/fast red hero. And when I say I never use her, I strictly use mono teams. Even on a team of 5 red heroes, I can’t find a place for her. I’d rather use boldtusk, Wilbur, falcon, Scarlett and Azlar. She doesn’t even get used in war, I’m serious.

When the question is Gravemaker or any other Red 5* the answer is ALWAYS Gravemaker. If the question is Gravemaker #6 or Marjana, the answer is still Gravemaker.

I have to agree with those who say Gravemaker #2, especially since I see you have both Falcon and Wilbur. That seems like a nasty combo. It seems like it would be fun to go Grave, Grave, Falcon, Wilbur, Boldtusk… y’know… in case you find a Yunan tank somewhere. :slight_smile:

Could switch out BT with Ariel, too, since yunan is oft paired with GM.

Have both of them maxed, like and use them both. You’ll be fine either way you decide to go.

I just fought an Ariel flanked on both sides by Gravemakers and can say it was a massacre :fire::hot_face::fire:

The thought of two Gravy on defense is tingly.

I want to say Marjana because a sniper bring diversity to your options.

But sadly, Marjana isn’t really that good as a sniper. She has tank stats, so her hit isn’t particularly impressive. She doesn’t play well with GM in a stack, as her weaker DoT usually comes ready after GM’s (slower mana) and then overwrites it.

The only thing I’d caution is that the red HotM for October is very interesting: a very fast healer, immune to mana reduction effects, and blocks all status ailments on all allies for 2 turns. In beta, she and GM are a superb team.

That’s very intriguing, Doc.

I am still a bit light in the healer department too.

Just read that Grazul is at 15% healing now in beta. Thank you for the thought. 15% very fast healer I’ll hold rings for.

Something to consider - two very fast heroes together means two level 11 red mana troops (to get the most out of them), for some that’s not a problem, but for others it certainly is.

I would pick Marjana for variety but having a 2nd GM would definitely troll many people. :wink:

A 2nd or 3rd GM is never too much! After all, war team required at least 6 variety.
Marjana is quite durable but the different between fast and very fast mana is obvious.
