So, we have a thread about heroes that we were training and then they turned out useless. I think we can say all of us have been there.
But, with the changes of today, notably Atomos, are there heroes that you regret not ascending sooner? Or, to generalize, do you regret stalling a hero who turned out a great asset and a staple in your team afterwards?
Mine will be probably soon Guardian Kong. From decent attacker to powerful attacker with rare (at 5*) cleanse ability, essentially allowing him to be damage dealer and support character all at once. My only cleanser is Vivica, and even she is currently locked in her Sorcerer Supreme mode, therefore Kong would be a great complement to such a team, given the cleanse and his damage. The ice resistance increase is just a cherry on the top. Alas, I donāt have rings for him right now ā¦
None, really. Iām F2P and work on heroes as they comeā¦ Even for the Vanillas with new costumes, my summoning luck isnāt THAT good, I havenāt pulled any 4* or 5* costumes for heroes I havenāt worked on yet.
Iāve had Gobbler at 3/60 for a long time, and the buffs make him more appealingā¦ but I maxed Melendor, Caedmon and Little John over him, and have my new Hansel and Caedmon costume in queue. All added/will add more to my Green stack than Gobbler, so no regrets (Gobbler will now get shields from me after Hansel and Caedmon-C are done, though.)
On the flip side, many of the rare 4s and 5s I got, I maxed anyway because I really needed them. The buffs are icing on the cake, but they already benefited me a lot. Margaret (my first ever maxed 5*) and Sir Lancelot (my 3rd ever 4* hero), for example.
Grazul. I have the mats for one red, and gave the Jean Franco. I use Grazul just as much at 3-70 than I do JF. Weāll see if the Telly/Velly defenses subsideā¦but in the meantime, I wish I had maxed Grazzy
I think it would have to be Richard. Heās my first 5* in the game and while I had the materials to ascend him relatively early on, I kept delaying it. Given the nature of the game thereās always this āthereāll be something betterā thought in the back of my mind. So I delayed his ascension hoping for something better.
It wasnāt until I started frequenting the forum that I came across opinions that Richard is serviceable as a tank. It seemed they are thought of as one of the better/best S1 tanks in the game.
But hereās the thing which I should have noticed. Thereās only so long you can wait for something better when thereās something already serviceable. Also given the nature of the game with character rolls, if youāre unlucky that āsomething betterā might not be as forthcoming as hoped for. The other part of this is that the first higher * character usually can be game changing for the individual.
Game changing in the sense they provide you with a new focal point to build your team around. Had I been willing to ascend Richard sooner, then itās possible I would have been able to get through maps and events quicker and further. In delaying I probably missed out on ascension materials and ultimately hindered my general progress as a result.
I must be boring but again - no regrets. I can only regret that some heroes showed up very late but thatās not my fault nor my decision. For example I got Wu Kong (so long awaited) during latest Atlantis and Iām currently leveling him up even though I have nearly 8 5* heroes in line.
I always try to look on the bright side. I havenāt maxed many valuable heroes yet but I still have a chance.
My most recent regret would be Kashrek. I never worked on him because I couldnāt really use him and had other green heroes to work on. But then yesterday I pulled his costume. It looks quite interesting and Iād like to try it out, but unfortunately I will have to wait for that for a while.
I regret not finishing Buddy sooner. I pulled him way back in 2018, and totally neglected him. Heās actually a fairly solid 4* green tank, at least for platinum and below levels. He wouldāve been a great boost for me in the early days.
Slightly off topic, but Miki was the HOTM when I first joinedā¦I didnāt see any value in him at that time (now regretting it) and ate him. For the ones in my still youthful roster Caedmon is the one I keep on saying I will level next, but have never got to.
Aegirā¦ Got him on his first advent, so much noise for his buff then , that I had to pull the plug on his ascension and thereafter gave Frida,since then it was like a jinx, from Frida to Magni, Alasieā¦as soon as I am ready for him something more interesting will prop upā¦, now my beloved Aegir is still at 3/70 for over a year.
I was the same for Miki, except I kept mine.
As a newb, he was my very first 5* and my first ever HoTM. I thought he seemed pointless and rubbish, as I was just wanting healers and snipers. At the time I thought thatās what was needed and bestā¦ but I am glad I kept my Miki and maxed him. He has been amazingly helpful - not to rub it in too much haha
I donāt think I have any regrets, as above, it just all depended on who I have at the time.
I have maxed the ābestā of each element at the time of what I have. For instance I hav 2x Sartana, 1x Domitia, 1x Clarissa, 1x Quintusā¦ I worked on Clarissa, now switched to Sartana because Clarissa is max.
I do have lots I really want/need to do but just donāt have the resources to be able to do them as fast as I want, so I am sticking with one at a time instead of one element at a time. Right now I got Lianna the other day so I am currently working on her.
Hmm, probably closest for me is working on Horghall over a dupe Lianna. I was going for hero versatility but honestly two Liannas would have been more versatile.
i just donāt have the trap tools or emblems for him
