OK, don’t think I’m nuts. I have Onatel at 3^70 waiting on darts, and I plan to ascend her immediately and take her to 4^80 at that point. (My first maxed 5-star. Yay!) Right now, I have 4 darts, so I’m anticipating this happening in the late June/early July range (two more Shiloh Deserts). Until then, my yellow project has been my shiny new Poseidon, who is currently at about 2^8. Today, I pulled Li Xiu.
My class depth in fighters is bad, with my current best options being Valen+13 and Gato 3^50; I started working on Poseidon because at 2^60, he would be my second-best fighter option, at worst. But my monk depth is also terrible, with my best options being Bane+9 and Friar Tuck 3^50. I plan to take Poseidon to 2^60 regardless. I won’t have the orbs to ascend him by that time - I currently have 5, and I’m holding 4 of those for Onatel - so I’ll start on Li Xiu then. My question is, once I collect 3 more orbs, do I ascend Poseidon and go to 3^70 (where he’ll be stuck for a LONG time while I collect more darts), or do I take Li Xiu to 3^60, then use the orbs to ascend her to 4^70?
