Normally I would say it depends on your roster, but Cleric Rigard is a very good 4* Cleric and Tiburtus is the only Ramming Pulverizer hero that is a Ranger. So I would recommend leveling both to 4* 3.60, then Rigard to 4* 4.70 and eventually Tiburtus to 4* 4.70

Normally I say “It depends on your roster” but not this time.
If you have Rigard, I would level Rigard and Proteus to 4* 3.60, then Rigard to 4* 4.70 then Proteus to 4* 4.70 ( see notes on Purple 4* heroes ).
Many people have wanted a 5* Rigard for a long time. If you do not get rumored blue 5* Ariel, then 4*+19 Rigard is just as good.
…
If you do not have Rigard, I would level Proteus to 4* 3.60 then, if you have them Sabina 4* 3.60 or Tiburtus 4* 3.60 ( see notes ).

I am also a big fan of getting a good rainbow 4* 3.60 team before leveling any hero to 4* 4.1 ( see notes )
Notes
purple 4* hero order and reasoning
Currently I am leveling to 4* 4.70, so I can unlock 4*+1
Cleric Rigard
Ranger Tiburtus
Sorcerer Sabina
Wizard Proteus
( see Notes for explanation)
All Defense/ HP grids
And if I had Cyprian I would add him to the end of the list as all attack grid Paladin Cyprian. But all defense grid Paladin Guardian Falcon would go first for emblems if I ever get either hero.
And if I ever get through all the above 4* purples- Sorcerer Cheshire Cat is rumored to be a 4* purple so Cat would be after Sabina for emblems but I would immediately take him to 4* 3.60 because OMG
So the above is my personal recommendation of purple hero order.
How to level your first 4* team
Level your first rainbow team from 4* tier 1 level 1 ( 4* 1.1 ) to 4* tier 3 level 60 ( 4* 3.60 ). Do not use 3* ascension items, yet.
Any 4* 3.60 hero is better than any 3* 3.50 heroes.
==Leveling your rainbow team to 4* 3.60==
4* 3.60 heroes are the most powerful in the game using only 1*/ 2* ascension items. 1* / 2* ascension items can be farmed on the world map along with recruits, food, iron, XP, ingredients, 1* / 2* troops and 1* / 2* heroes.
Two 4* 3.60 heroes take the same XP as one 4* 4.70. But the 4* 4.70 is not twice as powerful as each 4* 3.60 hero. While two 4* 3.60 heroes are more versatile, and with double color ( see below ) potentially more powerful.
If you level a 4* 3.60 hero to 4* 4.1 you use six 3* ascension items. If you buy them during special offers, this will cost $12+ USD. You can never get these 3* ascension items back.
Save your 3* ascension items, and the hero XP, until you know the game better and can select which heroes are good.
==Use only same color 1* / 2* heroes to level your 4* heroes==
Using matching colors doubles your chance of the hero’s special skill increasing, and gives you a bonus +20% hero XP.
Later you can experiment with off color/ random color leveling of heroes.

5* heros are worthless so save your money! 4* Heroes are almost as powerful and cheaper!

Reflect Damage ability
A lot of players think reflect damage is a defense buff.
Obakan & Cyprian are not defense heroes but attack heroes and I will explain how.
The stronger their opponents- raid, quest bosses, titans- the harder the enemy hits them and the higher their reflect damage.
Since defense stat is non- linear, an ally +10% defense buff is better than an enemy-10% attack debuff. This also means doubling defense has a higher impact than doubling attack. But for a reflect damage hero, lowering its defense stat ( many enemies do this, very common on Season 1 map) results in a substantial increase in incoming AND reflected damage.

Barbarian
Grimm- Most versatile Ramming Pulverizer and fits best on a Wu Kong Cascade Squad ( almost as if the Devs read the forum/ use deep learning/ use data mining when first assigning classes).
Grimm- Barbarian - decent fit versus titans and Bosses- loses some usefulness with mobs, War and raids. Ranger would be more powerful ( like Tiburtus ).
