How many Rigards are too many? / How many Rigards should I keep?

Gameplay Help & Tactics
21

I have been playing around 2 years and I have 13 5* maxed and materials to level 9 more.
So I would say that 22 in 25 months.
So on average 6 months for 6 heroes
It means that at the end of 6 months you can level one of each color.

So, patience because it takes 6 months long.

I donā€™t know what other healers you have, but I think 2 of each of the 4* healers are good (Kashhrek is the exception only 1 is fine), esp if you get any 5* healers to add to that. Vivica (TC20) and Ariel (if you get lucky through Atlantis coin pulls) also cleanse.

If you donā€™t have the other healers then keep several of the Rigards but hold off on maxing more than 2 or 3 at most in the meantime

Yeah I been playing about 9 months and have enough now to level all 5 colours. With a few 4* mats in change.
Plus the other mats iv used to level 15 4* and my 3 5* Iā€™m working on.
Plus as you get stronger you can completely the events witch gives said mats required :+1:

  1. There is no such thing as ā€œovervalueā€ Rigard.
  2. Iā€™d say 6 of him is enough, it gives you the chance to use him in all your war attacks if necessary.
  3. If you want to run 2 healers, I recommend bringing Sabina, Melendor or the likes, so you have a cleanser and a debuffer in your team (of course, nothing against 2 Rigards).

Just a thought.

So it would take about three years to have 6 maxed 5* purple (dark) heroes. How would that dissuade someone from ascending a third copy of Rigard for war purposes?

Iā€™m curious, what do you do those 4-5 months in between getting all the mats?

You know Rigard is a 4*, right?

20 wondering characters.

Edit, I saw you were just replying, so my question changes to @R0BlN.

I personally have 3 maxed Rigards with maxed costumes and use them in every war (even against purple tanks). I have a 4th one at 1/1. :slight_smile:

Yeah, purple looks good! I like Cyprian a lot and he was actually really valuable in finishing the hard mode of Atlantis and still occasionally shines in a war where I feel someone made an exploitable mistake in their defense. But I agree with your plan - no harm in waiting and seeing for a little while.

By the time you get two more Tabards youā€™ll very likely have gotten 3 more trap tools (youā€™re at 5 now, so you can finish her and one other), so I wouldnā€™t worry about that much.

By the way, if you luck into the Rigard costume, this is a slam dunk to crank out more of him. The stats boost alone are probably roughly equivalent to a couple of nodes along the talent grid.

Lastly, on the is / are question, I wondered that too. I was okay with it, as it seems similar to saying, ā€œI have 31 Rigards. Is that too many?ā€ But Iā€™m not a grammarian. Iā€™d guess that itā€™s one of those things where one is correct (or maybe even both), but both are widespread in their usage and acceptance.

He came to me after I already had way better purples, but I trotted him out in a paladin trial or two at 3^60, since my paladin stable isnā€™t very deep, and I was surprised by how much I liked him, even in a not-so-ideal pairing with Gunnar. Need to max him for that to be a long-term thing, though.

Would love to pull the trigger, but sure as I do, MV will turn up a tabard, and then Iā€™ll be sitting one Morlovia quest away from maxing another legendary. If a couple of trap tools were in the completion rewards for Guardians, thoughā€¦ @zephyr1, any progress on getting those posted?

No doubt. Already liking what it did for Gunnar, making him more usable in class trials.

Maybe also a US/British English thing? Iā€™m in the US, while Bard is ā€œacross the pondā€, I believe.

my opinion is 1 is too many to have. they are only food on my roster

32

I am working on my 3rd Rigard.

Kiril I have 2 maxed and 1 at 60

Melandor I have 3 maxed

BT I have 2 maxed and 1 at 60

Healers are important and a bench is a great thing to have.

Currently working on my third Rigard (and my second costumed Sonya as my only other cleanser option for AW).

In my opinion, it depends on which other heroes / duplicates you have. If you already have three Rigards and get Proteus a second time, Iā€™d prioritze Proteus as a second or third Proteus is almost equally useful in AW. If you already have lots of duplicates of all good purple 4* heroes and no 5*, then a fourth or fifth Rigard might be a good idea.

I donā€™t understand your question.
Yes, I know Rigard is 4*.
I have all 4* and 5* heroes you can get from training camps, except liannaā€¦

35

I level other purple heroes.
I prefer having different heroes for versatity
I have 4* tiburtus, Sabina and merlin at 70
I have 5* domitia, Sartana and kunchen at level 80.
Now I am leveling obakan, but I may not use the matsā€¦ I think itā€™s not too good. Iā€™ll wait

But when Iā€™ll reach 3/70 I would consider leveling a second Rigard because I have the costume. And with the costume he is really good

36

I am currently maxing my second Rigard with a third ready in waiting. I also have two maxed Kiril, two maxed Melendor, one maxed BT, a maxed Ariel, a maxed Vivica with a second at 3-70, a maxed Sabina, and a maxed Aeron. For wars I use pretty much all of them. So three Rigard will likely be enough for me.

No one likes a Grammar Jammer Jonah. And I prefer to use the familial Iron Maiden. It really drives the point home.

6 is enough. Then a mix of some other healers to get some other benefits
