I’ve been kicking around the idea of spending tokens and am enjoying the discussions that everyone is having on it.
What is everyone’s thoughts on saving up for the 5* or loading up a good 4*?
For example, as the title indicates, I have both Grimm and Azlar ready to go. I currently use Azlar in my defense team, but he’ll be giving way to Zimkitha soon. I use him and Grimm both a lot of attacking, Titans, wars, etc. I think both will have a place in my gameplay for a long time.
So, thoughts on which one to start upgrading first? Or at least crack the first node on both?
@Isaac57, have you looked at the talent trees? I might be persuaded by which one is faster when the emblems are used. If “slow is death”, then I do not want either until they can be bumped up to average.
Great question, and the answer hinges on this: what purpose are you trying to fulfill with your upgrades?
I’ll suggest there are at least four good answers:
Improving my defenses to win more wars, and hold a higher tier in raids, and get more loot
Improving my titan attacks to place higher and get more loot
Improving my offensive core to win more raids on offense
To buff heroes I think are fun just because
If you choose #1, you should get your alliance to share your thinking—you won’t win more wars if you’re the not person prioritizing defense upgrades.
The answer also depends on how often you use 4*. Mine don’t really see a lot of play, but I’m also aware that the defenses I’m seeing more and more have 5* withntakents on them. My 4* are going to become increasingly irrelevant without talents.
I see the improving of titan scores through adding talents to be a bit the front runner of your four as it seems easier to find like colors than matching classes. For 3-3 or 2-2-1 raiders, this might hold true, too.
That opinion is based on three trials in which I fielded teams with little synergy, but they were all that fit the requirements.
In the long run, I’m probably not going to use either as part of my defense team. Currently Azlar is there, but Zimkitha is coming up the chain and will take over as my red.
I DO use them both and foresee them both being longtime members of my raid attacks, wars, and Titan game. Honestly, probably Grimm longer.
Since 4 star heroes are the backbone of this game, they are the means for F2P and C2P players in defeating P2P players and their bunch of 5 star heroes and 4 star troops. Embleming 4 star heroes improves the chance for F2P and C2P players defeating the P2P players. But only temporarily. Once sufficient emblems are circulated and gathered, there is no way 4 star heroes +20 can compete to 5 star heroes +20. The disparity is so huge that the investment made on the emblems placed on 4 star heroes is depressing.
