The Best Heroes in Each Class guide

The alternative homes for those emblems are Wu and Wilbur.

Wu Kong is the Combo King, but defense does not get combos.

Wilbur is great on defense and offense.

Personally I would split the emblems since I use Wu Kong all the time to get Atlantis coins, emblems, 3*/ 4* ascension items, etc. While Wilbur would help me mostly with titans, war and the rumored Challenge Raids.

Due to color stacking, Empire’s hidden buff, if you have Guardian Falcon, Boldtusk, and Wilbur I would concentrate on Wilbur. Falcon is the only 4* multiple target elemental debuff hero, Boldtusk with 5/5 revive has a 1 in 123 chance of reviving 4 times in a row, and Wilbur is the only 4* all ally shared damage. Poor Wu Kong would be temporarily neglected.

Color stacking buff

The more we learn about color stacking attackers, and colorless AI defense, the more Ameonna looks better and better as my second purple 4* Sorcerer after ( Edit: Sabina - who is a big help in both sorcerer class quests ). I am going to at least take both to Sorcerer 4*+1.

Missing link

Garanwyn:

So instead of your 3-stacked tile attack being 3x as powerful as a single-hero tile attack, it’s 4.4x as powerful. That’s huge.

Fudge. Totally missed this. But it follows from the base design of MMOs. Usually in MMOs a 5* hero does exponentially increased damage versus 1* enemies to encourage updgrading heroes.

Color stacking just turns this effect up to 11. Further increasing the euphoric rush.

From a game design point of view it further reinforces the use of color specific 3*/4* ascension items making rosters of five rainbow 5* teams even more powerful and desirable than two rainbow 5* teams.

But.

Missing heroes doing a fixed 1 HP damage does balance this out especially with the 90 seconds of terror known as titans.

I will now change how I assign 3*/4* troops and class nodes for heroes I usually color stack.

This piece of info appears to be the missing link for Gryphonkit’s insanely powerful Obakon, Rigard, Tiburtus, Cyprian, Hansel attack team ( the largest factor being how their specials interact ).
