Im already seeing Ilmarinen being used and getting into the top 10 in the Slayers Event. I think some may want to reconsider him

See above discussion: he may be an important niche hero for someone who already has the right roster, but does that help most playersāor the small number of players who are even able already to chase a top score?

I think this is a difficult concept for some to understand.
Certain 5 star heroes become useful only for the biggest whales, and also those FTP players with absolutely no other choices. I can understand someone without any red 5 star heroes saying ilmarinen is great. And I can also understand someone gunning for top 100 with a whale budget/resources also saying ilmarinen is good for that.
Pointing out ilmarinen in some rosters of top event scorers tells me those players have the money to buy mystic rings to spend on a niche hero that provides some marginal value over replacement. It doesnāt inspire me to āreconsider his sh** valueā for the rest of the game.
On a semi-unrelated note: if heās great for very fast rush mode is the reason someone is using to argue against a hero sucking, congrats - thatās very convincing

Ilmarinen can hit into the 1030s for full defense.
On attack, 921 attack and 980s for defense.

Thank you! Good to see! Yes Iām thinking of def pathā¦
I have for some time now had a rings/red Trainers/red aethers surplusā¦ Thatās why I leveled the guy, plus his def down is hugeā¦
Also thinking about current tourney tank and his mana down skillā¦
Iām curious, If youāre using Ilmarinen for events, is it better to emblem him for attack path to increase tile damage?
If youre going for challenge events, Iāve seen alot of players go attack route. Mostly for maximum tile damage

I donāt think so. Heās begging for def/health. You also want keep him alive so he can get to his awesome passive skillā¦
Btw I really like him now. Taking him on some raids with Xnol help (all hail the squid!) plus Lewena and Zenobia itās super fun!
Might have to break him, but Iām procrastinatingā¦

i think you missed a defense node. a friend of mine has Ilmarinen at 1035 defense, but you build him the way you want to
Oh, crap, so I did!!! 
I was obviously tired and drunk on the weekend!! Thanks for pointing that out! 
I doubt Iāll re-emblem but Iāll think about it lol. Wish I could go 5 nodes backā¦
Youāre absolutely right, and Iām super annoyed 
maybe Iāll reset after all, I just donāt have a fortune in Ironā¦
no worries man. Itās all good.
Wow. Ilmarinen and Saoirse? not bad at all

Iām indecisive on this one. Iāve got enough rings for one, comes down to either this guy or BK (costume).
Can anyone share some insight? Appreciate it.
