What to do with fighter emblems?

[Gryphonknight]

Boldtusk

Boldtusk is the only red 4* healer.

Boldtusk 4* 4.70 has Defense 711. Only Marjana ( Defense 712 ) has a similar defense among the Classic red 5* Heroes.

@Gryphonknight

Marjana 712, Khagan 642, Azlar 607 and Elena 578

My Boldtusk 4*+18 has Defense 840 and HP 1248. Compare to red 5* 4.80- Santa ( Defense 830, HP 1437 ), Anzogh ( Defense 793, HP1279 ), Ares ( Defense 741, HP 1442 )

Since maxing Valen, I’ve also maxed Poseidon and taken him to +1, but I left the emblems on Valen because I still need him in fighter class trials. Obviously, Boldtusk will eventually replace Valen in those trials, and I have a reset token to reclaim those emblems. The question is, who do they go to?

Personally, I have Valen at 3*+1. Revive will proc ( see notes )

Poseidon at 5*+1 would be nice, just like Valen at 3*+1.

While Gryphonkit, my wife, has Valen at 3*+20 which is a great for non reflect blue Challenge events

Fighter with Healing

Boldtusk, Delilah and Rudolph are the only fighters that can Revive and immediately gain hit points, even on defense ( see notes ).

Boldtusk and Delilah are the only healers for Fighter class quests.

Rumors from Beta say Chef Boldtusk will also be the only healer for class quests in his new class.

Even if you are nuking the Class quest bosses, healers are very handy to reach the Bosses with full battle items.

Boldtusk’s attack buff is also very useful to finish the Class quests.

I often use Boldtusk 4*+18 for farming, Seasonal quests, Challenge events and titans.

So I recommend most people take Boldtusk to 4*+15 at a minimum. Mine is stopped at 4*+18. Gryphonkit is taking her’s to 4*+20 .

Diamond in the rough, er, raid

@Noble_Weasel

but it would be nice to have a defense that can keep me in low diamond.

Depending on the rest of the team, Boldtusk is on several Diamond arena defense teams. IvyData ( see notes ) and several of my teammates.

It helps that Boldtusk

Used to be a red 5* hero until they nerfed him into an actual 4* hero.

Boldtusk 4*+18 is almost as tough as he was before several of the nerfs ( Interestingly Chef Boldtusk nerfs Boldtusk’s attack buff but buffs Boldtusk’s healing past the original amount ).

Boldtusk has a reputation. So many people will reroll if they see Boldtusk on a strong team. Your Onatel would be a nice flank.

@Noble_Weasel

46 fighter emblems unassigned. Beyond that, once I max Boldtusk, I’ll reset Valen.
…
that will net me an additional 233 fighter emblems. That’s 279 fighter emblems

I would split the emblems.

Valen at 3*+1 costs 14 emblems. Which you can get back, if a better 3* fighter comes out in the future, without a Reset emblem since it is less than 20 emblems, just by spending gems.

Poseidon at 5*+1 costs 65 emblems. ( Edit: Oops, Poseidon is already at 5*+1 )

I really am a fan of many good heroes at X*+1.

Leaving 200 emblems to get Boldtusk to 4*+8 ( Revive 3/5 or 18% chance ).

Fighters with Healing

@Gryphonknight

Boldtusk, Delilah and Rudolph are the only Fighters that can revive, immediate use their special skill ( computer does this automatically on defense if full mana bar. Often full mana bar if Center on a defense team ) and gain health ( immediate heal, minions or both ) so not just a 1 HP revive.

A X*+15 fighter has a 1 in 123 chance of reviving 4 times in a row.

All of which are useful for a Center or flank on defense and using Revive or Miracle scrolls ( both Revive and Miracle scrolls still suck ) on rare and Class quests ( use emblems to get emblems and ascension items).

X*+1

@Gryphonknight

The genius of talents is the proc rate changes but the result stays the same.

Evade proccing has the same effect no matter the nodes activated.

I laughed out loud when my - then 4*+1 Rogue Scarlett - evaded Sartana’s Deathstrike which I then cleansed with my fully charged Rigard.

Probability

A Scarlett with zero emblems can not Evade.

But a Scarlett Rogue 4*+1 has a chance. Given how much time I play Empires, Scarlett will proc.

Would she proc more with more nodes, sure. Are some of the talents more powerful than others, yes. Do some talents buff some heroes more than others - see above plan.

Wu Kong Grinder gang

@Gryphonknight

Boldtusk and Kiril boost attack. Kiril boosts defense. War Cry and Blessed Brew will overwrite each other, but different colors mean their mana fills up at different rates.

Reputation

@Gryphonknight

I really really like the look of this defense. I wonder how many of your opponents reroll.

Boldtusk is very close to 4*+15 for 5/5 Revive ( at 5/5 Revive, 1 in 123 chance of 4 revives in a row ). Revived Boldtusk/ Delilah with a full mana bar can be really annoying.

Boldtusk and Proteus both have reputations as beasts and 4*+11 / 4*+12 is scary looking.

Onatel works with Proteus’s special ability ( or was that a bug ) and each enemy has a decent chance of being targeted by one, a small chance of being targets by two and a smaller chance of being targeted by neither.

Mother North for healing and revive.

Double green is strong against blue if they color stack against Boldtusk.
