With Season 3 coming out I’ve been trying to figure out which heroes I’m most looking forward to. So I thought I’d see what others thought and why. I know the stats aren’t set and many of these might change a bit, but the new heroes have some interesting skills that I think could change the game dynamics a good bit and wanted to get a glimpse of who’s anticipated and a quick mention of why.
So vote on your most anticipated 3*, 4*, and 5* and then then leave a response as to why you are excited about that particular hero in the comments below.
3* - Nordri - I think having a 3* version of Frida will be awesome. Especially for raids and challenge events.
4* - Mireweave - the amount of damage done seems like it could be impressive. Sumle is another one I liked, but the slow speed throws me off.
5* - Heimdall and Freya were super close. But I like Heimdall giving that extra health buff. Though I think with the game emphasizing more minion heroes, Freya’s ravens could be a game changer.
Personally 4* Fura is the one that interests me the most as her combined max health reduction and -healing will be an annoying combination and she’ll be accessible enough for people to get that she’ll definitely shake up the meta for 4* tournaments if not the wider game a bit…
However she’s been held back from the first batch with no indication of when she would come, if the other 4* being held back are anything like her I wouldn’t be rushing to spend Valhalla coins yet…
All I’m going to say is “a 4* yellow healer, a 4* yellow healer. My Kingston for a 4* yellow healer!”
(Not that I’d actually do that given the option. I just thought it funny that my autocorrect went with “Kingston” instead of “kingdom” and just rolled with it.)
You have no idea how many times I posted during all the Season 3 Betas asking for a yellow 4* hero… Totally sure I annoyed the Hel out of most of the other testers with it if not came close to being totally muted from the channel…
Ive looked through the beta list and I don’t see anything I cant live without. I don’t even see anything that would make my current bench that much better.
The 3-4 stars don’t matter except for tournaments. None of them are going to fill in my existing war teams. The 5s will just be pretty pictures I scroll pass while feeding heroes I have the mats for.
What I am excited about are all the things SG announced before S3. The stuff we are still waiting on and mostly still in the dark about.
I’m wondering how many of the new heroes will be game changers. Some look like they could potentially be, but until they come out and we see how they are used it’ll be hard to tell. But I get where you are coming from @Hcmitchellr. If they turn out to be more of the same ole same ole, they wouldn’t really add anything to my roster either.
Regardless of who else comes out, Nordri will certainly end up as a top three star. I also voted for Mist, as I’m desperate for 4 star holy heroes of quality - I cry whenever we fight purple tank wars. And I chose Ratatoskr for a new game mechanic that I find interesting (plus I have Mother North, so…w/e Heimdall).
I might do a small number of summons for funsies, but I think I’ll mostly try to exercise restraint. Look at the featured Atlantis heroes history: groups of three were released and featured for three months:
Group 1: Tarlak, Misandra, and Mok-Arr
Group 2: Inari, Mitsuko, and Kageburado
Group 3: Atomos, Ariel, and Poseidon
Then Ursena was released. Let me break that down differently:
First half: Tarlak, Misandra, Mok-Arr, Inari, and Mitsuko
Second half: Kageburado, Ariel, Poseidon, Ursena, and the might Atomos
I think I’ve made my point.
The heroes I’m likely GOING to be most excited about have not yet been released and maybe haven’t even been seen in beta.
Hero that I think looks the coolest:
Norns she/they look sick!
Hero I think will be most useful / realistic for me to get & level: Mist followed by Brynhild (inverse of Zeph). Fura is definitely a fave too but not available yet.
Hero that is most likely to be gotten & levelled immediately:
Nodri (3* elemental debuffers…) Or Ei-Dunn (harder hitting version of Chochin).
Hero I WISH I could get and level: Sif or Norns… Would also love Alfrike
Similar to Zeph, I’ll use whatever gift coins I get & whatever I earn at the start to try for nodri. After that, I won’t be summoning anything from the S3 portal (gem or coins) until the hero pool is fully populated.
And finally a yellow riposter!
