Jean Francois or Natalya?

First off some general advice:

@Guvnor

The first piece of advice - Focus on the 4*s

The best advice I can & will give is to focus on 4* heroes & pause the 5* ones (once you finish their current ascension tier). Reasons being:

1. 5* heroes are very expensive & time consuming to level-up. They need a lot of unfarmable materials
2. 4* heroes who are maxed are more useful than a 5* stuck at 3-70. 4* heroes can be used in more places (more tournaments & more challenge events) than the 5* who’s stuck. Additionally, the 4* hero can be emblemed up while the 5* hero just sits & looks dopy…
3. 4* heroes form the base of the game. In wars & raids, most players (except the very very advanced ones) supplement their line-up with 4* heroes.

My advice is to work on 4* heroes until you get 4x maxed rainbow 4* teams. This will allow you to get:
a) a good base roster to work from. Useful in wars, raids, tournaments, events etc…
b) a good understanding of your play style. What skills & hero types are best suited to you.
c) able to stockpile those extremely rare unfarmable 4* ascension materials (Darts, Tomes etc…)

Only once you got 4x rainbow 4* teams (15-20 maxed 4-stars) would I focus again on 5* heroes.

Back to your original question:

JF or Natalya.

I would say JF because he is more widely hitting than Natalya is. Ntalya is a single target burner while JF is a multi-target burner. Additionally JF has the defence immunity buff which is (IMO) very good at countering a large number of heroes who appear on defence teams…

On a defence team, JF is best used at flank while Natalya is best in the wings… not really a problem either way but just something to consider.

Finally in terms of emblems, Natalya is a Sorcerer while JF is a wizard… You don’t have another Sorcerer 5* hero but comparatively you have Onatel in the wizard class. Again not really an issue but just something to consider.

Overall, my vote is for JF between the two. Just does more, affects more & has more secondary team buffs…
