I am a bit puzzled which blue I should work on next.
I have a maxed Triton and my Kiril will be maxed soon.
Not sure which one to work on next - Grim / Boril / Isarnia / Thorne / Richard.
I don’t have any 3* mats shortage at this point.
Only three telescopes though, so I can’t max a 5* yet.
Some of the other heroes I have, if you think of good combos:
Purple: Cyprian (maxed), Tiburtus (4.37), recently got Rigard and Sabina so Rigard is going to be next.
Yellow: Li Xiu (maxed + 7 on talent grid), Wu (4.62) Hu Tao (3.60), Chao (3.12)
Blue: Triton (maxed), Kiril (4.36), this topic question heroes.
Green: Evelyn (3.70 +6 tonics. waiting for the last shield), Kashherk (maxed + 6 on the talent grid), Caedmon (maxed + 6 on the talent grid), Melendor (3.50), Little John (3.60), Mother North (2.60). Elkanen and Skittleskull sit on 1.1.
Red: Zimkitha (4.61), Gormek (maxed + 9 on the talent grid), Boldtusk (3.60 waiting for blades), Azlar (2.60), Colen (1.1).
Here are some of my thoughts and my current conclusion, but would like to hear what others think.
I won’t do Thorne as Richard is better.
Boril is probably out of the race at this point. I have a maxed Cyprian with Perfect Riposte and although Boril is solid, I don’t see the need for another reflecting special at this point.
Grim is very good but I already have a maxed 4* blue hitter. Also, I already have 2 of the Ramming Pulverizer heroes for the -defence. Gormek is maxed + level 9 on the talent grid. I am currently working on Tiburtus (4.37)
Isarnia is pretty good AOE 5* but she’s slow.
Richard is a good 5* blue hitter.
Since I am about to have 2 good and maxed 4* blue, I lean towards working on a 5* blue.
I already have a healer and a hitter, so at this point I am thinking Isarnia over Richard.
One more vote for Grimm. Even that you have Triton, take these two to offense and fire Triton after Grimms def down. You will have a little Magni there.
You already have tanks and riposte, so Boril may wait.
Once you get these few more scopes consider Richard first out of these 3 5stars you have.
Another vote for Grimm. Grimm will take less time than Richard, is the strongest of the pulverizer triplets, and even though he’s a glass cannon, he hits like a train in a blue stack. Grimm is good in any number of builds where you’d bring a blue. Richard is only good at tank or in a blue stack with Kiril/Grimm/Frida support. As one who owns all of those, Grimm is far more versatile than even Triton.
For your 5* I’d focus on Isarnia unless you desperately need a tank, but being only 3 scopes deep, that’s a ways out, and things can change a lot by then, so don’t focus on 5* now. It’s premature at best.
So a month later, Kiril is maxed and I took the advice to train Grimm next. He is now also almost maxed, which raises 2 questions:
Gormek is maxed +9. I have another 131 Barbarian Emblems.
Should I keep upgrading Gormek or use the emblems on Grimm?
Should I reset Gormek’s grid to have more emblems for Grimm?
I have 3 reset emblems and no 5* Barbarian on queue for the emblems.
Who’s next?
Thorne and Boril are probably on a lower priority. Should I go with Isarnia, Richard, or Sonya that joined via TC20 in the past month along with her twin sister - another Sonya (now the only 4* I am missing from TC20 is Kelile).
Here’s an excellent thread on the relative benefits of giving emblems to Gormek and Grimm: The Pulverizing Barbarians: Emblems to Gormek or Grimm?. I have Gormek exactly where you do and considered a reset to emblem Grimm instead, but after reading this thread, I decided to keep rolling with “Beefy Gormek”. Happy reading.
For me, this would be about your materials. If you still aren’t close on scopes, I would go Sonya. She’s faster to level, and at 4^70, she might be as good or better than any of your 5-stars at 3^70. I have a maxed Grimm and a maxed Sonya (+6, because my other paladins are trash), and I rather like her. The fast mana is a nice plus, and having another dispeller is always nice.
Having just finished maxing one today (since I had no other red options), I can say you aren’t missing much. For my roster, she still gets a lot of use, but she doesn’t really stand out at anything.
