In this round I will go with
|Chao||Kelile| > Kelile (can someone really choose Chao?)

|Wu Kong||Gadeirus| > Always Wu
|Melendor||Ameonna| > Gandalf!!
|Sabina||Wilbur| > Sabina is so cool but, cmon Wilbur is Wilbur

|Boldtusk||Tiburtus| > Boldtusk, did never liked Tiburtus
|Danzaburo||Skittleskull| > Danzaburro or blank vote :joy:

|Caedmon||Cheshire Cat| > Caedmon
|Gormek||Cyprian| > Gormek, my second 4* :heart:

|Sumitomo||Kiril| > Is sumitomo even considered a hero? :joy: Kiril! My first 4* hero, come on buddy!

I can! I use Chao a ton, and Kelile got shelved in favor of Scarlett. What do you have against Chao?

:smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Boril features prominently on my teams against Gravemaker tank / Zeline flank teams and the like…

Confusing amount of threads.

Should have been a lot of work to prepare.

It was just too much to squish 128 heroes into one thread. :exploding_head:

It’ll get more consolidated in later rounds. :slight_smile:

Yeah I used Chao a lot but his design to me is very uncharming… To me the best of Chao is the falcon :joy: Also as hero is a bit normal… Is like a sniper but it does not really hurt that bad.
I suffered a lot with Boril before I could color stacking, he had brought me a lot of nightmares :joy: But it’s appearance is nothing extraordinary. I prefer Kiril for example, at least he has beer (and looks like he loves to say “beers on me dudes”)

All about the looks, eh? :wink:

What if the falcon IS Chao???

4 Likes

Hahaha you got me, never think about that possibility. Actually if Chao is the falcon in the end, I won’t be surprised if Chao wins the tournament :open_mouth: But, to me, from now on Chao will be tje falcon and the ugly soldier just a random fellow.

And yes, I would prioritize the looks instead of power or skills, to me is more funny that way. Which hero has the most badass or coolest design? Because we already know which is the most powerful hero: Kailani (just in case someone has been brainwashed with Aife)

I will choose rigard, li xiu is good but… Does not very great on offense. Rigard is very useful if ennemy team has very dangerous heroes like Azlar and Isarnia

Bow down to the fishermen king

Tiburtus is archer class btw and the only purple archer (4/5*) Can be useful in battles against Guenievre.

Boril is … OVERPOWERED against AOE slow mana heroes.

same :3

You have similar thinking to me, the only one I’m on the fence about amongst those is Tiburtus vs. Boldtusk.

They’re both great heroes, but I find with Wilbur for defense debuffing on titans, and my 3 stack of purple being Proteus/Rigard/Thoth-Amun now, Tiburtus is shelved more and more often.

Meanwhile Boldtusk still gets lots of play.

Plus smarmy prince vs. battle orc who can apparently cook…kinda seems like the prince is going down.

My 3 purple combo aka guenievre killer is currently: Protheus, Tiburtus, Khiona. Archer skills helps very well. If i had Riggard, i would replace Tiburtus by him and Melendor By Ares Or Wilbur

Khiona is an excellent addition to that stack, especially with Tiburtus.

Did you know that Khiona + Wilbur synergize very well. Easy +85% attack. This is crazy. But need to planifying your moves

Yes! And even better with Mok-Arr added to the mix:

Wait till I pull off my long outside-of-gameplay defense for Tibs.

I like Sonya, she’s kickass against the riposters. I don’t have Proteus and haven’t gone against him much so can’t really say anything about him.

BT v Tibs: The Unwavering v The Mournful Duke. Gee who’d I rather have on my side?

Melendor v Ameonna

I used Melendor a lot early on as he was my only 4* healer. Now I find him squishy. I may vote for him for old times’ sake. Plus he looks so much like Gandalf (but dresses like Radagast).

2 Likes

Ameonna is in my pile of purples to level…somewhere amidst Proteus #2, Proteus #3, and Rigard #2.

I’m planning to max her for holy titans thanks to her high tile damage and built-in attack buff.
