Seriously lacking dark heroes. What would you do?

I tried to upload a picture if my roster. Hopefully i worked. Im doing this on my phone and im new to the forum so im trying to figure it out.

Im a new C2P player ( i got vip a few weeks ago) and coming up on 7 weeks. Right now i have a serious deficit of dark heros. I had prisca for a while and i hated her. I probably shouldn’t have but i fed her to gill-ra when i pulled her. As of right now i only have gill-ra and i havent leveled her much, shes at 1.19.

Right now my main team is hawkmoon 3.50, grimm 3.55, boldtusk 3.49, caedmon 3.60 and bane 3.50 and its been working decently. I was holding off on leveling gill-ra in the hopes of a better dark 3* or 4* but its been quite a while. I am running one TC 13 and i have my other 2 TCs at level 4 producing feeder heros.

For some context Im on 22.9 in S1 and 12.2 in S2 on easy and in raids i hover in and out if gold. I just joined a new alliance and im begining to take wars more seriously. Now the question is would you start leveling gill-ra if you were in my position? Or would you focus on other heros until i pull a better dark hero? I appriciate any and all input. Thanks

I also wanna say the community surrounding this game is amazing. Im really glad to be part of it. You guys are awesome and make a great game even better!

  1. learn patience. Prisca is fine. 2) do a purple elemental 10x draw and you’ll be sorted.

I’d personally be more pressed to get Wu and Wilbur for titans so suggest doing Atlantis pull.
Chance at Proteus.

Or next week pull Avalon for Merlin but I’d lvl these darks before him.

Rigard, Proteus, Tibs, Sabina

Welcome to the Forum!

And it worked just fine. :slight_smile:


I’d say the best hero is the one you have, and learn to work with what you’ve got.

Gill-Ra can actually be highly useful — she’s fantastic for a Raid Tournament like the current one, for example. I’m actually leveling her now, I wasn’t able to get to finishing her before this Tournament showed up.

And for what you have for heroes so far, she can help on Quests and Events, which are critical sources of ascension materials. You can use mana to overcome her speed if needed, and her versatile ability to reduce defense and attack on enemies, while removing status ailments from allies, makes her useful against a variety of bosses.


That’s my favorite part too, glad to have you here! :slight_smile:

This is good advice too, though slightly more risky. A 30x Atlantis pull is (imo) always the best way to kickstart a new team. You’ll likely get some new 4s, possibly a 5 or two. And a whole gaggle of decent 3s to round out a mid level war roster.

I’ve done Atlantis pulls that only yield 3*s, but they are uncommon. And in 30 pulls you’re fairly likely to pull at least 2 of any colour (though not guaranteed).

Of the 4* to 5* heroes that I ever got so far, here is the composition:
4 Fire
5 Nature
4 Ice
3 Holy
10 Dark

We should trade :innocent:

Be patient and pull on july Atlantis if you want a shot a some really good darks ( if I am not mistaken). Chance at the dark upcoming hotm and possibly kageburado, as well as the normal draw pool of you want to go the high risk high reward route. If not just keep playing the game, they will come.

Ok first of all, Thanks for all the replies guys. I appriciate everyones input

First thing, prisca is gone. I shouldnt have, but i fed her to gill-ra.

Second thing, im probably not gonna spend more than 5 bucks a month on the game so 10x pulls and 30x pulls wont be happening anytime soon. Ill probably have enough atlantis coins for a few pulls and enough gems for 2-3 pulls during the next atlantis but i highly doubt i will have enough for a 10x pull.

Im not worried. I know i will get better
Dark heros eventually but my question right now is should i start level gill-ra with my purple feeders so i can have a leveled rainbow team? Or should i focus on other heros first? Like right now im focused on getting boldtusk and grimm to 3.60. I have a hu tao i was planning to level next to eventually replace bane. But should i level gill-ra before hu tao?

Ive been holding off to get a balthazar or tyrum or chochin but no luck so far.

Again thanks for all the suggestions

The game is clever in that in order to progress through the seasons you need to use the heroes you have, unless you plan on spending early which you advised earlier is not the case.
For a higher level player, a Gilra is more or less food but for someone starting out she can be quite useful. I would say level gilra up, there is no telling when a better purple hero will come along so make the best of what you have :slight_smile:

While pulls are great (I do my fair share!), the OP stated s/he is a C2P player. I’m guessing big pulls may not be the answer here…

EDIT: Looks like we were posting at the same time :grimacing:

On a side note, Boldtusk and Grimm are both amazing heroes. I still use them to this day so certainly put some focus into getting them levelled up, Hu Tao is not the greatest yellow but still useful.

Yeh how boss does the July HOTM look so far !

Yes. Gill-Ra will be useful to you for a long time to come yet.

Unfortunately, there’s not much to be done to quickly fix the lack of purples at $5 a month. Your chances of getting a purple 3* or 4* from TC13 within the next month is about 95% (so 19 out of 20 people in your position would get a purple within a month). So it’s not hopeless.

But even so, level Gill-Ra right now. You will want 6 fully leveled purple heroes eventually for war. So Gill-Ra will undoubtedly be one of those 6 for quite some while. Giving her feeders is the right call. They won’t be wasted.

Agreed. She is also a mainstay for my Teltoc team.

For the raid tournaments, Gato pairs well with her, he’s a solid blue 3* too. This is pretty helpful in wars when you’re trying to get many heroes, the small attack boost to the tile damage can be significant enough.

I recommend you feed one hero of each color at the same time whenever possible. That gives you a 20% bonus by only using the feeders that match that color.

It’ll feel slower, but it’s actually much faster overall — it’s roughly like saving 2 months over the course of a year.

Right now I’d suggest:

  • Boldtusk
  • Hu Tao
  • Belith
  • Finish Grimm, then Gunnar
  • Gill-Ra

Those heroes will have the most immediate impact on your ability to finish more Quests and Events, so you can get materials to further level your 4* heroes.

They’ll also start to be the foundation of your Titan teams, particularly Boldtusk, Grimm, and Gunnar.

Sounds like the consensus is to level her. After i get boldtusk and grimm both to 3.60 (should be done in a couple days) then i will focus on her. Thanks for everyones time and opinion.

I have another question if anyone would like to share their opinion. Given the heroes i have now. Would you level melendor or hu tao first? I have caedmon already at 3.60 and i have boldtusk (soon to be) at 3.60. So i dont desperately need another healer or green 4*. But i think he will get more use in the long run than hu tao. I like hu tao for defense and he is the only 4* yellow i have. Just wanna get other peoples opinion on who to focus on first.

Again, i cant thank you guys enough. This is such a great community

Sorry, i was typing when you posted so i didnt see it. And thank you for all the help. So to be clear. You would focus on hu tao before melendor?

Well well, til my 34 level I still don’t have *4/*5 yellow, my Yellow just bane ganju dawa khailani, just up your panda then

Oh i see. Only use same color feeders. So basically just level whatever color of the feeders i have?
