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

[Noble_Weasel]

Wow! Great feedback all. My main takeaway is that I wasn’t wrongheaded to consider more than 2, so that makes me feel better.

@jinbatsu

I think 6 are good, I prefer 2 healer with different colors (no need 12 rigard IMO)

Good thought, and I agree. I’m usually rockin’ the Melendor/Rigard duo advocated by @Gryphonknight here:

Rigard and Melendor ( together they fight crime) for 3-1-1 raiding or rainbow raiding

Rigard and Melendor ( together they fight crime) for 3-1-1 raiding or rainbow raiding Rigard and Melendor Rigard and Melendor have two of the highest heal all allies for Classic 4* / 5* heroes. This helps when raiding since you can not use mana items. Rigard and Melendor are two different colors so they charge at different rates and charge when different colors are missing and charge when different colors are abundant. This helps when raiding since you can not use mana items. Rigard and Mele…

Part of that is my lack of a green legendary, though.

@DaveCozy

IMO if you’re going to have duplicate 4* healers, Kiril and Rigard are the most useful ones.

Kiril also acts like a pseudo-cleanser for heroes that drop attack and defense.

Agree. I swapped out my usual Melendor for Kiril during Santa’s Challenge Advanced to counter Santa/Buddy’s debuffs. Worked pretty well. Kiril was another late-comer to my roster, but I love him.

@voidstrike

31 Rigards is too many.

Are you sure? Maybe my favorite response. I did ask “how many is too many”!

@V616

I have 4 maxed Rigards and use them all in war.

This is my thought. I’m in a very small friends and family alliance, and as the most senior member with the best roster, it’s my job to take out the best enemy team as many times as I can, so I can see needing a bunch of cleansing.

@Jgmc2

I don’t know i finaly got one after almost 2 years of playing (FTP)

Ouch! I think I’d have quit before then. Congrats on finally pulling him. So glad the only classic four-star I’m missing is Kashrek, who is very much non-essential.

@R0BlN

It’s better having different heroes because you have more flexibility.

I’m with you on this, but I’m about out of unique options. See later in this response.

@IvyTheTerrible

You don’t say anything about roster space being an issue, so I’m going to assume that holding five is manageable, even if you’re not feeding them

It’s getting a little tight, but I could definitely spend gems for a bit more space if it becomes an issue. It almost certainly will once I burn through all the summons I’ve been saving for Christmas (EHTs), Guardians (challenge coins), and January Atlantis (gems and Atlantis coins).

@IvyTheTerrible

I wouldn’t object to knowing what your purple roster looks like right now (who is available and what are your leveling alternatives)?

This is kind of the crux of the biscuit. I’m very deep in purple already with:

• Domitia +9
• Sartana 3^70 (short 2 tabards)
• Rigard +20
• Sabina +20
• Tiburtus +20
• Ameonna +9
• Cyprian 3^60
• Tyrum 3^50
• Balthazar 3^50
• Gill-Ra 3^50

EDIT: Guess I should have mentioned my other duplicate candidates: Sabina, Cyprian, Tiburtus, and Domitia, all at 1^1, but I felt like if I were going to level a dupe, Rigard was the best option out of that group.

I literally finished Tyrum’s costume while typing this post, which is why this is a timely question for me. I do want to max Cyprian, but I only have 5 trap tools, and as I said, I hope to do a lot of pulls (for FTP; ~45 total) in January, so I want to hold on to those in case I get Proteus or Kunchen in Atlantis, or maybe Panther in Guardians. All long shots, I know. If not, I’m still thinking of holding the trap tools for when I get the tabards for Sartana.

@R0BlN

My recommendation is start as soon as possible with two TC20 to get all 4* and many 5*

Have been running 2 TC 20s constantly for months now. As you can see above, I’ve already got the two biggest purple prizes that come from there (Domitia and Sartana). Quintus or Obakan probably wouldn’t change the calculus very much.

@JonahTheBard

Feel free to throw me in the stocks, but should it not be “How many Rigards are too many?”

Hmm. As someone with an undergraduate minor in technical writing, I feel like I should know the answer, but I don’t. Also, as someone with an undergraduate minor in technical writing, I am decidedly not offended that you raised the point, and I will be slightly embarrassed to have made the error if you are correct.
