I currently seem to be sporting a truckload of heroes, most of which are 3* and I would really like to cull some of them down. Essentially I would like to get it down to 2-3 rainbow teams of 3* in total. My total hero count currently stands like this (in the brackets is their ascension tier, current level, then talent level if they have one):
From red maybe azar
Green friar tuck, all of them, you don’t need them, ishtack
Blue, both gunnar copies, grayman, karil
Purple prisca, oberon, ran field, chocin
Yellow both dawas and ganju
That’s bigining, and you will have mono 3* teams that can do well in quests, like now and I left some who can be good centers in 3* raid defensive team when is super fast mana, like gill-ra, gunnar, kailani, and carver- small guenerva
In my honest opinion I would leave your 4* and 5* heroes as is for now. But start to whittle down your 3*. I personally would feed the following to your top heroes …
Dawa
Graymane
Kailani
Renfeld
Prisca
Oberon
Gan Ju
Gunnar
Karil
Isshtak
Carver
Friar Tuck
Jahangir
Graymane, Renfeld, Prisca and Dawa are too dumb to kick a bucket of water (I need the English expression for “zu blöd, nen Eimer Wasser umzutreten”).
Gan Ju can be helpful with his Mana reduction. And I wanted to max Jahangir for fast tournaments, but he still has to wait.
Chochin is also not bad when stacking purple and overall for reduced Mana regeneration…
And I still have my maxed Friar Tuck, but I seldom use him, I think I should let him go
That’s another point…if they’re sitting some months on your bench, maybe get rid of them - on the one side, maybe you’ll NEVER level them up, on the other hand - 3*s are MOSTLY quick to get. Mostly. Some almost never get their first fed Bane back
3* heroes are mostly used to fill in final war attacks. Eventually you’ll phase them out of those too, so all they’re really going to be good for are:
Challenge Events
Raid Tournaments
The good ones for Challenge Events imo are mainly all the fast snipers, except Tyrum, Gan Ju and Azar since their attack stats are low. But even those latter ones are good to have for Raid tournaments, so general rule of thumb keep the fast 3*s, dupes are a good idea for them.
Brienne, Chochin, Ulmer and Gill-Ra are exceptions, where they’re not fast but their skill is really good to have for challenge events. One of each is enough.
I don’t think more than one Gunnar and Friar Tuck are needed. They excel on raid tournaments mainly. But there is no real benefit in stacking 2 Gunnar, also no real benefit in having more than one Friar since he only really excels in defense. 1 of each of them is enough.
Dawa, Prisca, Renfeld, and Greymane, are all pretty bad, even as far as 3*s can go. Oberon is pretty mediocre as well. Karil and Isshtak are a bit better than Dawa, but also not really necessary.
@ThunderDownUnder like others said just keep one each of the regular 3* heroes, keep a few of the event 3*.
Not sure how many pulls you do but if you do more than 10/month, then I’d keep just one of the regular 4* as you will get more from pulls and /or Tc20.
FWIW, 5 roster spots cost 50 gems for first 5 additions.
100 gems for additional spots 26-50.
Much more useful than spending 300 gems for a single dawa.
