Costume Rigard. Costume Rigard +20 has TP of 780, which is equal to current unemblemed HotM. Will serve for quite some time. Not mention his special is better than like 70% of 5* specials, and is of average speed.
I chose Domitia. Her holy def to herself and nearby will make purple stacking attacker experience difficulties. She was my tank in the very early alliance wars when Guin was dominant and that our alliance opted for purple tanks due to very poor holy heroes from TCs and that we dont have good yellow heroes ideal for tanking purposes.
EDIT: Rigard+20 with or without costume is just a tile dump. Your Dom+9 will not only be able to soak up damage since she has decent defense and health, she dishes out tons of damage against the enemy hero. Flank her with a healer for her to be able to sustain herself for tanking roles.
Yeah it’s worked out pretty well for us. Only a few people have Telly so green didn’t make much sense. So we figured purple because the best yellow heroes seem a little more rare other than joon. We went up against an all purple tank war and really struggled so thought why not give it a shot.
