What yellow 4 to max first?

So I’ve got a bunch of yellow 4s and 6 orbs… Don’t really know who to choose. Already have Leo (at 70/3 though - very low on darts) in my def team, the maxed 4 might replace him there until more mats come my way but would also be used for raid offense, titans and S2 hard when suitable.

The contestants are:
Hu Tao, currently at 30/3
Li Xiu, 12/3
Danzaburo, 2/3
Gretel, 38/1

As you can see I’ve been all over the place and really can’t make up my mind. Sadly no Wu.

Had planned for Teltoc pulls but Atlantis just turned into a regrettable orgy of lost self control with gems flying. There will be no Jackal, but the chosen 4 will have plenty of seafood…

For raid offense Hu Tao would b my choice. He’s like a Justice “mini”. Lol. Seriously though he gives damage to all, increases the opponents chace to miss. That’s both offense prowess plus a little bit of D built in. I believe he has pretty solid maxed numbers too. With the hero tokens I’m sure he could b a force.

I would definitely choose Gretel

Thanks!! Maybe worth to mention; my def team consists of Leo-Kunchen-BT-Frida-Elk. Only BT maxed and topped up.

For raid offense BT, Kunchen and Proteus comes along most of the time. I actually did pull Hel as well so do have some mana controllers, LJ is in the mix too. Gretel seems nice though (only tried her out farming yet).

My main issue with Hu is that he’s so painfully slow… but haven’t used him all that much in raid offense so maybe it’s just a question of finding the right strategy.

I should mention that Hu looks closer to getting maxed too and that weighed on my opinion. I’m
a big believer I maxing 4⭐️s and then when their dun moving on to any legendary heros. So my thought before didnhave something to do with getting u to a maxed hero quicker. Gretel is a mean tank though. @DBC has a good point too

Try her against tougher bosses and in raids and you will see her value. She doesn’t play nice with proteus, for quest bosses, but having both on a raid offence team has possibilities for a smart player.

Yep you’re right, I started all wrong and now my 4s arent strong enough yet to take over for the 5s while I wait for their final ascension - totally backwards.

Hu has come the furthest but looots of feeders waiting, won’t be much of a problem :).

Will eenie meenie Hu and Gretel then. Thanks again!

I Hey anytime. And check out whatever u can about hero ranking as and there strengthts for nigh defense and offense. @Razor and @Pois1 put up some fantastic spreadsheets and @Kerridoc provides solid clear cut info. Now when u really wanna get into the nitty gritty check
out @_John_Doe. The info that her posts include r RIDICULOUS in detail. There r so many great people and helpful ones that u will b blown away by how much easier to play they will make this game. Final one. @Avicious has a YouTube channel where he actually has videos of his battles and matchups and talks u thru them. Highly recommended. Best of luck and u will totally get there. Find a good alliance too. What a flippin help being in one of those can b. I’m in $ilver Phoenix and right now we have a few slots open. We have fun and do really well in wars and r on 8* and 9* titans. Also we have a chat page on WhatsApp to share pics and also talk strategy. If u attack titans and compete tomur best in wars and ask questions u will get great advice. This is all predicated on if ur not in one already. Either way best of luck! :+1:

I would go with Gretel personally. I have her at 4/70 +6, and she’s a force! She can play well with Proteus if you pay attention and don’t just blindly fire. And she’s awesome for Titans and raid offense too!

That’s ever so brilliant iPhone changing ‘that’s in the’ to ‘that her’. Now I could have been typing way too fast but still I hate even referring to them as smart phones. I make it a point to never assume anyone is anyone until I know. Swear to
u. But now that I know it’s a bonus. Anyway sorry if that came out as presumptive but it was my dumb as phone. Grumble. Technology. New Topic… Bring back the Carrier Pigeon and Chiseling on Stone Tablets!!!

I do Anti-Money-Laundering and Risk Mitigation. I’m used to seeing sloppier data presentations from the 2nd largest private bank in the world compared to ur stuff. The one u did on troops

Most of the info is gathered/copied/‘stolen’ from various parts of the forum and from active and passive forum members; all the thanks should go to them :slight_smile:

Don’t sell urself short. But it’s nice to c modesty. Thats why u were one of my favorite non-heros!

Eva and Boolz, you guys are hilarious!

Kitten, count me as another vote for Gretel. I might max a second one of her before I max Hu Tao.

(And I “second” Boolz’ comment that Li Xiu should come next. She’s a pretty solid defense team hero for your level of play.)

I also agree Gretel is the best and thus should be the first.

After that its Li Xiu or Danzaburo IMO. Hu Tao was my first yellow to 3.60 but I ascended Danzaburo over him and haven’t regretted it. Hu Tao is nice for map levels, farming but he’s not totally ideal with his slow speed.
