These six tgt with some strong 4* (e.g. the duck) allow me to set up two yellow teams for war purposes. My two main healers are Woolerton and DeAndre, as I don’t have any 5* yellow healer that can be charged in 9 tiles. I have 2 pigs for rush war. I play 4-1, so I will add an off-color healer for war hit.
My next yellow project options are: Motega (already at 3/70), Onatal, 2nd C1 Leo, 2nd Ogima, costume Sif, Malosi and Inari.
As my main focus is war, am looking to build a 3rd yellow team. Inclined towards 2nd C1 Leo or 2nd Ogima.
Motega is a quiet gem. Very fast meat shield with double attack up benefits. With two other holies I am tiling LB2 Ludwig down (my Motega emblemed only, not limit broken). Then keep buffing at v fast or wait for next special, which is a relax and win attack. Now my favourite holy attacking tank … and I have Wolfgang at LB1, who I also rate highly
I would personally not opt for a dupe 5* when possible, simply due to safety (nerfs hurt extra hard, then + gotta be extra careful with power creep in mind) and for variety’s sake. Only acception would be support heroes, esp with effective skills like mana / mana control, given those never go out of style. Damage-based heroes, however? Most definitely will. (Remember when C. Sartana was the best sniper?! )
Therefore, my first choice is…
C. Sif
…& Tbh, I’m surprised no ones mentioned her yet. I freaking love her; immediate mana is a life-saver, and the counterattack has saved my butt so many times, it’s not even funny. One of my favorite holy heroes I own.
Second I’d recommend…
Motega
Now, I don’t have him, but have always wanted him - even to this day. Idk if he’s as great for what you’re looking for: war offense, but for titans, he’s the only non-nature hero to offer increased damage in 5*. Plus, that permanent -50% blind could be really nasty, I imagine.
Ofc, at the end of the day, you’ve gotta go with your gut. Even though I have a preference of support heroes, you may not… and instead, idk, maybe play super offensively. & If so, then ya gotta do what feels right to you, and never look back!
Thanks - I use Motega for titan hits and sometimes tower events.
Btw I also have Wolfgang, what’s your thoughts on him? I don’t have Ludwig or Quenell to make his buff undispellable. But I always feel that his overheal comes too late. 3 turns would be much better but unfortunately it is 4 turns.
I agree with Randa, I would do cSif or Motega. I have Motega maxed and emblemed and I use him in every war, his versatility to summon minions or fiends is super handy and pairs well with many heroes.
I’m also recommending cSif. She is one of only a few heroes - others are Xnolphod (post-nerf) and Thanatos (2nd charge) - who give an immediate 10% mana boost. With appropriate troops, this is sufficient to mana boost Slow heroes to 9 tiles and sync with Fast and Average heroes… but with much more firepower.
After cSif, I’d suggest a second Ogima. He’s still one of the best minion killers around (and you’ll need more than one for minion wars). Even without minions, he still hits hard.
Acknowledging everyone’s points, but just like @Chadmo, I vote for a second Ogima! He is strong at fast speed! I’d max a second. He’s not a game-changer so I’m hoping he won’t be nerfed.
Not blessed until tecently with a fast healer, very happy with Wolfgang. Is in defence fully blemed and LB1. Durable and a healer with bite. Need healers to attack aa well these days. 4 turns comes round quite quickly when rest of team starts doing its stuff. Now second string to Motega but will still LB2 him before Motega for the increased attack stats
