I’m getting ready to do a final ascension on a red 5*. I’ve got Marjana, Elena, Khagan and G. Kong… I know that the normal answer would be to ascend Marjana, but I’ve got solid snipers (Joon, Lianna, Poseidon, Sartana) and tbh, Marjana seems sort of meh at 3.70 compared to the rest of them at that same stage.
I’m really looking for a red 5* that can function as a good right wing in my defense team (Alby/Athena/Hel/Joon/Colen) and finish off a team.
Elena and Khagan are both better as flanks than wings, and both slow mana. I’m really attracted to the high damage, average mana, AoE that Kong has.
Is it worth ascending him, or is he just so bad that I should bring up Elena/Khagan/Marajana and figure out how to restructure my defense team?
It honestly depends on what else you have as well. Defense is the last thing I consider when deciding who to level. If you have Boldtusk and Wilbur, adding Kong to that stack would be deadly since they all charge at the same time. Kong would do ok in defense, but you’d really see him shine in wars and raids with that stack.
At average speed G. Kong might not fire in the wing. He does have high damage output which is nice on the wing, but just be aware that he’s not as sturdy nor as fast as Marjana.
On red stacks yeah I think G. Kong is really good. High tile damage + blue element shield for all is good.
I ended up ascending Elena, since she seems like she functions well in a variety of circumstances and positions. Once she’s maxed, I’ll have a look at Marjana, and will hope for a better 5* in the meantime.
Sorry to bump an old thread, but does anybody have GKong ascended? Roughly how much damage is his special doing at 80? How about with BT and/or Wilbur? I have a ridiculous amount of extra rings laying around, and I need someone for war cleanup teams. I’m trying to talk myself into it, but I think I’m punching the math into the formula wrong because I’m getting estimates of like 300 damage to all base, 500-550 with BT, 600 with Wilbur, and like 750-800 with all three. This does not sound correct to me
I would suggest watching Nittany Lion Roars videos of his war hits on youtube. He has a maxed Kong that he uses in a red stack with Wilbur. Looks to me like he did about 450 damager per hero with Wilbur alone
I’ve now been playing around with a fully levelled Guardian Kong. I’d say he is great for tournaments if you are using a red stack and also have Boldtusk and Wilbur in the stack. Even better if you have Guardian Falcon too. With those three, you can see HUGE damage from Guardian Kong against all opponents. I’ve been using him on a red stack that also has Anzogh. All 5 are average speed and once they fire it’s game over in a raid or war team, and big points in a tournament.
So, to answer OP, yes I’d level him if you want to use a red stack in tournaments. He also could be worthwhile for raids and wars, and even titans because of his very high tile damage.
