Question about keeping duplicate 4*s

I’ve collected a few duplicate 4*s and I’m trying to decide whether to keep them in reserve to develop when the opportunity presents itself or to use them as a high-protein meal for other heroes. The heroes I have are:

  1. Chao
  2. Li Xiu
  3. Little John
  4. Gobbler
  5. Scarlet

I’m leaning toward holding onto Chao, Li, and Scarlet, but I’m not sure about LJ and Gobbler. LJ because I rarely use the one I have partially leveled (3/24) and since he is a Season 1 there’s a reasonable chance that I would get another by the time I’ve cleared out the queue of Greens ahead of him (Evelyn, Caedmon, Kashhrek, Kadilen and the other LJ) waiting on AMs. Gobbler, while he is a 2nd season hero seems very restricted in his usefulness that I’m not sure that a 2nd one is really worth the roster space.

I think Gobbler is very close to worthless.

I kept one.

EDIT: I have one at 3/60.

None of those are particularly worthy of keeping as a duplicate, unless you need 30 heroes for AW.

The only one I may keep would be Li, because of her AoE mana slash. But it kind of depends on how many other heroes you have and what your hero cap is. I save one of every hero just in the off chance they get a buff later. If you need heroes for war, keep them I guess.

My roster (85 slots total) looks like this:

Purple (11)
Cyprian (4/70+4) - Currently my defense team tank
Thoth-Amun (3/28)
Cheshire Cat (3/35)
Balthazar (3/50+3)
Tyrum (3/50)
Layla (3/40) - I still occasionally use her in war depending on matchups
Prisca (2/16)
Ameonna (1/1)
Gill-Ra (1/16)
Oberon (1/12)
Chochin (1/1)

Yellow (10-12)
Li Xiu [#1] (4/70+5]
Joon [3/54] - Needing darts + levels to ascend
Chao [#1] (3/56) - Might ascend him when he reaches level 60 because it shouldn’t impact Joon’s ascension as far as AMs go.
Bane (3/50)
Hu Tao (2/26)
Sha Ji (3/40) - Still use in war occasionally depending on match-ups and need for a healer, also for cleric quests
Danzaburo (1/1)
Chao [#2] (1/1)
Li Xiu [#2] (1/1)
Gan Ju (2/7)
Melia (1/1) - I plan on leveling her as soon as I figure out what to do with Chao #1
Kailani (1/1) - She’s also likely to be leveled once I have the resources to do so. Might even put her ahead of Melia for her being a Cleric.

Blue (7)
Triton (4/70+7)
Kiril (4/70+1) - Love this guy! Wish they hadn’t saddled him with the Wizard class.
Valen (3/50+7)
Gunnar (3/50)
Gato (3/28) - my current blue project
Graymane (2/36)
Ulmer (1/1)

Green (11-13) shakes fist at the RNG that seems inordinately reluctant to let me have sturdy shields
Evelyn (3/52) - will devote resources to finish leveling her when I get another tonic
Kashhrek (3/45)
Little John [#1] (3/24)
Belith (3/50+6)
Isshtak (3/50)
Mnesseus (3/45) - currently trying to bring him to max as he’s my only “offensive” cleric
Berden (3/26)
Kadilen (1/1) - Just pulled from TC20 today, so haven’t done anything with her yet
Caedmon (2/7) - main current green project
Gobbler [#1] (1/19) - back-burner project
Friar Tuck (2/10)
Gobbler [#2] and LJ [#2] (both 1/1) - likely food

Red (7-8)
Gormek (4/70+5)
Scarlett [#1] (4/70+3)
Jahangir (3/50+8)
Hawkmoon (3/50+8)
Nashgar (3/50)
Namahage (3/40) -current red project
Azar (2/28)
Scarlett [#2] (1/1)

Everything else is strictly hero chow

My dupes… The partially lvled r cannibals.




Scarlet & Li Xiu might be worth it. I have netiher but they seem good when i raid against them.

Little John, maybe if you have no other mana controllers, but it seems unlikely.

Gobbler & Chao are not good enough to keep duplicates of - I’d feed them to their counterparts if those aren’t leveled fully already.

I agree with @Zteev.

In hindsight I wish I kept 1 Li as my yellow stack is thin.
