Hansel - defense or offense emblem path?

Hi everyone,

I just got Hansel to 4-70 and have 170 or so cleric emblems ready for him.
Which way should I go for him: defense or offense?

For Proteus I chose defense, because I think his most important trait is the mana blocking. I want him to stay alive as long as possible to be able to use his often match deciding special.
For Hansel I’m not sure though. He only “blocks” the mana of a single opponent and deals damage immediately. Maybe for him the offense way would be better.
What do you think?

I have taken him sword/shield for the first 2 paths, seemed the most logical for Hansel. He will sit at lvl 7 for a while as I have others I want to improve too.

I don’t think there’s a right or wrong answer to this question – as with most others asking the same thing for a different hero. However, I use Hansel and Gretal a lot for their mana control more than their damage. I also try to use them in raids and wars against 5* teams where Hansel is very squishy and can be easily one-shot by 5* snipers. For that reason alone, I would buff his defense and health over his damage – which is already relatively high for a 4*.
