Help with defense team and which of my Heroes to focus on leveling at this point

These are the heroes I have as of today… any suggestions on good defense teams and placement would be great. Also which heroes I need to focus on leveling.

That’s a big roster! A lot of good heroes there too, but it looks like you spread your level ups. My advice, focus only on a few heroes at a time; better to have a few strong ones to help you clear the quests.

Is raid defense your main goal? If so then I’d focus on these 4 star heroes you have, and lay them out like so when they’re leveled more:
Caedmon | Grimm | Boldtusk | Proteus | G. Jackal

I’d purely focus on those heroes, until they either are maxed, or missing ascension materials to level up further.

I picked those too because they’re somewhat along, so it won’t take a lot of time to train them up to level 3.60 at least.

EDIT:
Other heroes to focus on after those are done (or get stuck):

  • Wu Kong is a top choice in all titan teams because of his large attack buff
  • Rigard, great healer and cleanses your team in raids
  • Sonya is like Caedmon but trades damage for better defensive stats
  • Melendor, great healer with good attack stat
  • Wilbur, great support for defense and offense, also a good choice against titans

Color me jealous!

I agree with Dave, I’d focus on 1 4* hero of each color. 4* heroes will be the backbone of your roster for a long long time! And heroes like Rigard will always be useful. As enticing as it is, I’d sit on the 5* for now. They take forever to level, and depending on the ascension materials you have, they will most likely be stuck at 2/60 or 3/70. It is also generally considered that a 4/70 4* hero is stronger than a 3/70 5* hero. And that becomes even more true with the introduction of emblems.

Thanks for advice DaveCozy. I am sure I was all over the place and trying to figure things out.

Thanks Lloyd… I do have a lot of great ones but never seem to get some of them I want more lol

These are my ascension materials I have so far…

looking at that inventory, for sure focus on 4 stars. You have enough materials to ascend at least 1 of each color.

Their materials will become quite common with time, as you and your alliance start beating higher rarity titans and as you start clearing the quests consistently.

It’s the epic ascension materials – damascus blades, mystery tonics, farsight telescopes, etc – those are the ones that become quite rare to get. Another reason why working on 4 stars first is better.

While I am leveling up my 4* more what 3* Heroes should I use for Defense (raid and war) in the meantime?

Exciting to do pulls and just about every hero is new for your roster. Work on the below for each color in the order listed. Until your 4* is stronger defense Stat, keep using your maxed 3* like bane, belith…

Wu, Jackal, Li Xiu, Gretel
Wilbur, BT, Falcon, Scarlett
Kiril, Grimm, Sonya, Triton
Caedmon, Mel, Kashrek
Proteus, Rigard, Tibs

Wu + Wilbur vital for titans.
Kiril first 4* healer with attack and defense buffs and because you’re lvling Wilbur before BT
BT will be your tank until you have Kashrek maxed.

Work on your 5* after the above 4* are maxed.

4* not listed I’d not lvl or do after your 5*

You’ve trained up some good 3 star heroes. Bane, Nashgar, Belith, Hawkmoon, Berden, Balthazar and Valen are some of the best ones in that rarity. All of them are good for raiding. Mix them with your trained 4 stars.

You don’t have to use all 3 stars on defense; for now you can try something like this to get some opponents you can beat in raids while still maintaining a decent amount cups:
Bane | Proteus | Boldtusk | Belith | Valen

You may as well finish Brienne too. Her berserker attack boost is one of the best in the game, and she’s not far from maxing.

If you’re looking for more to have for wars, rare challenge events, and raid tournaments, then I’d recommend Squire Wabbit, Ulmer, Namahage, Gato, Chochin, Melia, Mnesseus, Gill-Ra, Gunnar, and Tyrum.

If you don’t want to slow down your 4 star training then by all means focus on them later. I’d recommend focusing on them when you have access to Training Camp level 19, lots of food storage and recruits storage. They will level up much quicker then.

Thanks for the added advice. I have 3 TCs; 9,11 & 13. Watchtower lvl 9 and Stronghold at 14. Been working on leveling them up as well. I get hit every night with raids losing cups… just wanna be able to not lose so much progress at night that I make during the day. Its frustrating. My alliance is still working on 3* Titans at the moment with just a few of us doing most of the heavy lifting. I like the peeps in my alliance so not ready to jump ship just yet for a higher producing one. Hoping my alliance will keep making progress.
