What to do with doubled heroes?

Gameplay Help & Tactics
1

Hey guys,

actually I’m pretty sad with my pulls. I got my second skittleskull today, wasn’t even sure what to do with the first one. At the moment I’m thinking about feeding some heroes, but actually I don’t have 6 teams yet.

My actual heroes are.

Green:
5* Horghall 2-60
4* Skittleskull 1-29
4* Skittleskull 1-1
4* Caedmon 1-1
3* Mnesseus 3-38
3* Isshtak 1-1 (2x)
2* This little goblin (In german he’s called “Piesacker”) 2-40

Purple:
4* Cyprian 3-60
3* Balthasar 2-1
3* Prisca 2-18
3* Renfeld 1-1
2* Layla 2-40

Yellow:
4* Hu Tao 3-60
4* Chao 1-12
3* Bane 3-50
3* Bane 1-1

Blue:
4* Sonya 3-14
3* Gato 3-50
3* Greymane 3-50
3* Gunnar 1-1
3* Valen 1-1
3* Ulmer 1-1

Red:
3* Hawkmoon 3-50
3* Nashgar 3-50
3* Jahangir 3-50
3* Azar 2-1
3* Nashgar 1-1 (2x!)
3* Jahangir 1-1

My actual team is Hawkmoon, Hu Tao, Cyprian, Horghall and Sonya. My normal rainbow team for most occasion. I’m aware that Sonya is not great on Defense, but still she’s better than my 3* heroes.

I really think of feeding 1x Skittleskull, both Isshtaks, 1x Jahangir, eventually Ulmer. Or should I keep them?

Actually Sonya is my only hero which I can level to the maximum, I don’t have the ascension materials for the other Colors. And if a had them, I wouldn’t be sure, if it would not be a waste on Horghall, Hu Tao or the others…

Don’t using any money, so it’s possible that I’m stuck with this heroes for a longer time… =/

What would you do…?

Edit: Got an epic summon tocen just this moment, list is now enhanced with “Caedmon”

Sonya is not great on defense? Hahaha

Ok, heroes you should not waste mat on

Horghall
Cyprian (any dark 4* is better)
Hu Tao (I prefer Chao)

For me i suggest to have one of each 3 stars n save all your 4 stars

Try to each TC13 as soon as possible so you can get more 4 stars

I relieaze that so I edit my answer, hope that helps you better

Thanks, now you are really helping me!

I’m on TC 13 already since 3 weeks, but I didn’t get a single 4* hero from that so far.
With my new Caedmon, I think of leveling him instead of skittleskull.

Hu Tao was my first yellow 4 star, so I started leveling him… If I’ve gooten Chao first, I would have leveled him. But I thought to “finish” the heroes first before starting a new one.

Actually I wouldn’t level Horghall any further, but thinking of Cyprian. It could be months until i get another purple 4* hero… But I have only 3 sets of Trap tools so far…

You can expand your hero capacity if you don’t hav enough space for your heroes.
Level Caedmon and Chao to 3-60, max Sonya. Keep all the 4* and 5* you get (for now).
If you get the mats you can max Caed & Chao. If you’re stuck you can raise Skittle in the meantime.
Balthasar is a good 3*. Cyprian isn’t really worth the mats, unless you have a lot

I agree cademan n chao are good options, although some may tell you hu tao is better, but i find chao faster n more useful in titan and boss fight.

Cyprian is one or the worst hero and has v suitational use which I think a general hero might be more useful for you.

Sonya is good, I used her a lot but having an extra debuffer can be useful when up against riposte heavy team in raiding. I saw her quite often in plantium arena too so I will focus on her too

You could consider maxing one Skittleskull for class quests (rogue + sorcerer and sorcerer + wizard), events and titans as he have a great attack score and his attack debuff last for 6 rounds. Another Skittleskull at 3.60 could be still handy for class’ quests.

As Rapisu said you can expand your hero capacity, expecially if you are a free to play player:
it’s better to have a bigger hero’s storage than summoning another Dawa :stuck_out_tongue:

Here’s my two cents (also F2P, or C2P is you insist, bought VIP pass once and another one time gems offer):

I agree Cyprian is not so great, but he is probably far better than not having any 4* purple.
I got him pretty early too, and he was very helpful for me until I reached Platinum Raid Arena.
In fact, he is still my only 4* purple. I still use him for wars and class quests but nothing else (usually using 2 greens).
I would definitly take him to 3.60, and if you have the mats and still don’t get another 4* purple by then, think if you want to max him out. I did and I don’t regret it because he helped me get further than I would have without him. But saving the mats can also be reasonable.

I don’t have Sonia but I often see her in Platinum so at this point definitly train her.

Ceadmon is excellent, I would focus on him on the greens.

I’d go with Chao over Hu Tao because when possibe I like heroes I can control their special better. You can aim Chao to whoever you want to decrease mana to, but the “miss chance” is a chance you can’t control.

Although you don’t have any 4* red, Hawkmoon and Nashgar are both decent until you do.

Generally speaking - save all your 4* and 5*.
I would also save and train any 3* that is listed as 3* A in Anchor’s Hero Grading Guide. You will need these for wars because it will take a very long time to aquire 30 4* and 5*. I’m not there yet either, and mixing my strong heroes with 3* really helps me do better at wars.
Obviously, only train them after you finish with the heroes you use. I was lucky mainly with green heroes so I still have 1.1 Belith and Berden waiting to be trained if I hit a brick wall with my 4* and 5* greens.
Always feed same-color when you train heroes. You get 20% xp bonus.

You started by saying you are sad with your pulls so I will finish with saying be patient.
It takes time to aquire good heroes, more so as a F2P, but sooner or later you will get lucky.
I am playing less than 6 month, trying to maximize filling chests as good as I can, trying to get top 5 on titans. I have 12 4* heroes and 4 5* heroes. That’s pretty decent and lets me keep progressing.
On the other hand, it is far from perfect since some are duplicates and I don’t have any 4* or 5* decent healer, just Kashherk which doesn’t heal everyone. But I’m patient too and will get one sometime.

Good luck.

Let’s see…First of all, I heartily recommend expanding your hero space rather than throwing away heroes you are unsure of. My roster goes to 108 right now, and I’ll pay if I need more room.

Here are the heroes you have that I like:

Green:
5* Horghall 2-60
4* Caedmon 1-1
3* Mnesseus 3-38
3* Isshtak 1-1 (2x)?

Purple:
4* Cyprian 3-60
3* Balthasar 2-1
(2* Layla 2-40)

Yellow:
(4* Hu Tao 3-60)
4* Chao 1-12
3* Bane 3-50
3* Bane 1-1

Blue:
4* Sonya 3-14
3* Gato 3-50
3* Gunnar 1-1
3* Valen 1-1

Red:
3* Hawkmoon 3-50
3* Nashgar 3-50
3* Azar 2-1
3* Nashgar 1-1 (2x!)

Keep all 4/5* heroes. If you’ve nearly finished a 3*, I would complete him and keep him for your 30 for War (you will get better heroes and replace them later).

1/2* heroes are usually food. I excepted my favorite 2* Layla, who does nicely at the early levels. A maxed 3* is always better than her…she will eventually be food.

I don’t like HuTao, but he may work well for your play style; he’s almost finished; finish him then work on Chao.

Horghall is slow, but he’s your only 5* for now; keep him. May you get Liana!

As for Cyprian:

I have a maxed Cyprian and one at 3^36. Ive used him happily for over a year because I didn’t have someone better. A lot of your hero choices have to do with what is in your hand. If you don’t want to waste ascension materials, you can still level him to 3^60 and see what else turns up. If nothing does, you can try this guy. He is not the best purple card by far, but you may find him saving your team by a well placed Riposte when you’re about to die. I still use him.

I’ve had 1 Skittleskull for ages. She’s still 1^11. I maxed 1 Isshtak (don’t use him anymore) and ate all Jahangir and Ulmers (including one today!)

RE: Sonya vs other Blues: again, you can always raise her to 3^60 if you are unsure of her. Lots of interesting Blue heroes out there! (Remember that Caedmon is sort of the Green variant of the blue Sonya. :wink: )

Hope this helps!

Yeah she is. Horg is a good tank too, sadly, you need to focus on building a 3/4* roster prior to working on him.

Don’t write Cyprian off just yet. The thing to remember about Cyprian is that there are no yellow dispellers. There are also no red dispellers.

If you have a team with Cyprian at tank, with a strong yellow and a strong green in the two flank positions, you make it quite dangerous for your opponent on marginal boards. There’s just no good color to stack against you that can easily overcome poor starting tiles.

Believe it or not, Cyprian and Skittleskull or Horghall pair reasonably well on defense. Cyprian and Caedmon is very dangerous for people too.

Given what you have right now, I would go with the following defense:

Sonya-Horghall-Cyprian-Hu Tao-Hawkmoon

For green, I would work on leveling up Caedmon to replace Horghall for right now. A 4* hero will max a lot faster than a 5* hero, and Caedmon will be better for offense for you at present. Skittleskull is another option, but I prefer adding a fast mana hero to your arsenal first.

For yellow, work on leveling Chao. He’s not great, but he and Hu Tao complement each other nicely for yellow offense stacks.

For purple, work on Balthazar. He’s the quintessential 3* glass cannon, and you need some fast mana offense.

For blue, get Sonya to 3-60, and then start working on Valen. His defense debuff is very strong, and having him in blue stacks on offense will really increase your effectiveness.

For red, work on Azar next. The mana cut is useful as a tool to have in your toolkit.
