I have Rigard, Proteus and Merlin maxed with talents, and Cheshire, Sabina and Tiburtus at 3/60. Also have Ameonna and Cyprian sitting on my bench at 1/1.
I got both Boril and Cyprian later in the game, so I haven’t really played with riposte heroes, and haven’t been impressed by them when raiding as I could easily disspell with my other heroes.
I have the tabbards to max 2 purple 5*, but RNG refuses to grace me with one. I think it’s about time I max a fourth 4* while I wait for that elusive Sartana from my TC20.
I see the value in riposte when participating in events, especially against bosses, but I haven’t had much trouble in the events as of late either.
The question is, which 4* purple should I max next? Below are some of my pros/cons for each option I have:
Cheshire:
Pros: Unique special, Fast mana, can tell max ascension makes him more versatile in hero placement, great for Holy titans, DoT (DoT meta is real guys!), currently don’t have a maxed sorcerer class so emblems are available, better defense down against holy than Tiburtus
Cons: Very niche hero, somewhat usable at 3/60 already
Sabina:
Pros: Healer/Dispeller (can’t have too many of either, right?), great tile damage, currently don’t have a maxed sorcerer class so emblems are available
Cons: Seems squishy even at max level, already have Rigard so minimal benefit to my purple mono team
Tiburtus:
Pros: Lacking top end purple sniper so he would be a good add to mono purple team
Cons: Already have great defense down heroes maxed and emblemed (Athena, Wilbur, Grimm), redundant special as Grimm, Ranger emblems non-existent (Athena), adds no value to my other stacks as I prefer to use mana controllers in 3-2 teams
Ameonna:
Pros: Great tile damage, unique special ability, sorcerer emblems are plentiful
Cons: No synergy with other heroes
Cyprian:
Pros: Tanky, Riposte is a special I can utilize in events/challenges
Cons: Special deals no direct damage
Really, none of these heroes will sniff my defense team, but more or less looking to improve my damage on Holy titans, give me versatility in events/challenges, and beef up my 4th/5th war teams.
Thoughts? I think I’m leaning towards Tiburtus, with Sabina in 2nd place and Cat in 3rd place (there’s a thread on this forum about how great he is situationally which makes me 2nd guess all of this). Honestly, I think all 3 are great options. Thanks in advance guys.
