Adding Myztero to the list - much, much better than his bad press warranted. A surprisingly good counter to Bera and in general the ability to recast ailments on the opponent for full duration and against all, from just after the tank triggers to waiting until 2 or 3 specials have been memorised is immensely fun, rewarding and effective - particularly if paired with C Rig. I run him with Lady Lady Loki in a specialised ailment “judo” team so I have ailment reversal options in 2 colors.
The other one is grimble. I think he has always been good but I find him game changing against these fast tough summoner tank teams
Merlin.
Everyone always complained about pulling him from avalon but i don’t have him maxed yet and he is very decent. I love mana nerfing heroes and I’m nicely surprised with his performance so far
After ninja event and curse on C Rigard I was forced to use Zulag . She is only 3-56 currently and she is a beast . I’m looking forward to having her fully leveled just need one more tabard .
3* can someone have a good word on poor frosty? he’s best healer of the group, adding minions that are very useful at this level of play. he’s the main reason my tournaments are going so unpredictably well so far.
4* sonya and caedmon, have them with costume. they’re evergreen, can switch to cleanser or dispeller each time as needed for the team i’m facing. using them together twisting modes is practically protecting the whole game from effects.
5* i can’t quote how many times evelyn has saved my raids or war attacks. amazing hero, debuffing (hitting hard on second attack), dispelling, healing every green on team. she’s among few in the game actually allowing tactics. note that initially i only maxed her as only green option on the range!
For me 5* hero who basically I always bring everywhere with me is Onatel. When she fire actually give the entire team to charge and then you just wipe down all and most recent hero is Skadi who is basically a game changer
I love Frosty, I have two just for fun. Millions of minions. What’s not to love?
Don’t have a caedmon costume but have two emblemed and I love my costume Sonyas to bits. Oddly despite almost identical stats she always lasts longer than poor Caedmon who just takes it for the team.
You are new! Hope things are progressing. Isarnia was my first 5* and thought she was the shyite. Shes pretty good but too slow and hard to keep alive as you progress and start facing more challenging teams. I still have isarnia. She is in my hero retirement home. I haven’t used her in ages but she will serve you well for awhile.
I have other five stars but not the mats. Richard would be next . Same with Zulag but same problem need a tabard . Same with either MN or Elkanen in green no tome of tactics . I am new and really enjoying it so far . Can get to be a bit of a grind but that’s ok . I’m sure someday Isarnia will be nostalgic for me too .
I have never been a big fun of the slow heroes, but for me the biggest surprise is Sumle! That dude hits like a truck! Slow AF, but worth his weight in gold!
Nothing is more satisfying than watching a bunch of emblemed 5 stars melt into a tiny little pile of ash:)
