One mat away from ascending a yellow. I have joon (#2), Mica and Justice.
I would benefit from a good yellow, top 200 alliance and for rush defense wars only options are Poseidon, Norns and Gulli. Should Justice be in defense? Or Mica?
I recon Mica is also useful in raids and against titans.
Mica without doubt. Don’t even think about it
Second vote for Mica. Formica Laminate.
I have Mica at 4/65. He’s a beast. But I am not convinced that ninjas are a good choice for defense. The AI doesn’t make good use of their power. Farm a moderately difficult level and use auto play to see what I mean. The AI almost never chooses the right time to use their specials.
Food for thought. Mica is pure utility. Inflicting zero damage on an enemy with his special is a problem. Aegir does similar with his damage share and he isn’t seen as a top tier hero. Micas biggest advantage is his mana generation increase but I don’t think having that alone makes him great on defense. I have him at +4 and don’t find him to be a great defender personally. For one thing, purple is heavy in the dispel department and that just happens to be Micas downside. I only use him for offense.
However, when compared to Justice I think I would prefer Mica, but he’s still not a great defensive choice being so passive imo.
Mica. Even on defense they are quite formidable.
Don’t be tricked into thinking that they follow a strict rule on defense for only firing at a predetermined special level. They might charge to level 3; however, I’ve noticed after they’ve been attacked and/or get to a certain health, their special can fire off at their current level (be it level 1 or level 2).

Well, I can wait for a better hero to ascend… Second Joon is out of the question. Maybe costumes will bring smth.Other 5* yellow I have are Joon, Poseidon, Norns, Inari (who needs a buff)
Season 4 brings OP heroes but with my luck this means second half of 2021 
Gazelle all day long.
