he’s a mini-Isarnia. was very useful before I got Grimm and Isarnia. still generally useful in the 3* arena, especially Rush. for challenge events, I prefer c-Gunnar and c-Ulmer as a combo

Alrighty, I have no defense down heroes in blue other than ulmer. This thread only had one responder. Ulmer - 3* Ice / Blue from Season 1

:point_right:t2:is ulmer worth level breaking?
:point_right:t2:is ulmer worth embleming?
:point_right:t2::point_right:t2:if yes on emblems, shield path?

My biggest gripe is he dies too soon.

Ok go:

Probably. Based on having no other defense down heroes, I’m guessing you’re fairly new to the game.
Ulmer, Grimm, and Isarnia are season 1 heroes that all do defense down in their base form. Costume Gunnar does it too.

Ulmer’s use cases:
1 defense down (which is helpful against Titans and titans are a great resource for materials early in the game (although unreliable))
2 Priority dispel if you give him 20 emblems (very helpful for raid tournaments)
3 Costume gives attack up which is good for events

But if you didn’t level Ulmer who else would you level? Are there better heroes? Do any have toon costumes?

If you want a longer read, here’s my thoughts on which rare blue heroes are worth keeping in the first place.

Thanks for the info. Does priority dispell occur regardless of which emblem path I take?

Here’s my blue heroes:

Priority dispel works (or at least had a chance to proc) as long as you have 20 emblems.

Looking at your roster Sonya may be the one I level next given her versatility. I have 45 blue heroes leveled and I use ulmer ever month for challenge events at a minimum.

You´re already wrong there, you do have other DD heroes already even at LB1: Valen.

But that´s doesn´t mean Ulmer is useless, as those 2 are very differnt heroes. For titans Valen is much better than Ulmer, so you don´t need him there.

Ulmer is great for Challenge events and rush tourneys. The special feat of Super Wizard (can dispel with tiles and doesn´t need to charge the skill for that) is very useful. Still of course better in rush when you get the skill on top of the tile dispel.
Once you get the preferred DD for events (CGunnar), you can repurpuse Ulmer into his Costume version as well and use him as an attack booster instead.
So lot´s of usability for that guy. And well worth putting effort into him even in the long run. How much effort depends of course always on how much effort you generally put in, what other options you have, your spending habits etcetc.

True that on Van Halen. Yeah I should’ve specified I meant a defense down that hits the whole board, like treevil.

I went ahead and did LB1 and emblems for shields on ulmer. He got killed 5 matches in a row in raids last night without ever firing special once.

Do i need to go to LB2 for super wizard?

No, but you do need to go to 20 emblem nodes.

Well that´s slow heroes for you. Ulmer is not exactly a PvP hero for normal speed. Of course the tougher you make the heroes, the longer they survive and the higher the chance of firing a special. So every emblem, Master emblem, LB helps as do stronger troops of course.
The real question is of course how much effort is warranted making an inherently suboptimal hero for the purpose better just in order to become barely useful.

There is no one thing you need to do and beyond that it´s all peachy. Mostly it depends who or what you are intending to fight with the hero. In raids it´s an open end battle, the more you win, the higher you go and the tougher your opponents become. Once high enough, no matter what you do, Ulmer will be toasted in a single special activation by the defense. Even if you have him at LB2+25 Emblems and a fully maxed 5star troop below him.

This is my current ulmer at 20 nodes. Is superior jinx the super wizard special you were talking about? Not sure I’ve gained what you described.

yes the very same :slight_smile:
