Worth it to ascend bad 5*?

BTW, I agree that Caedmon should come before Melendor, given Rigard. You will want to do all your healers at some point, though, to give you at least one healer per Alliance War team.

But Caedmon does not work well with Wu Kong while Melendor does.

Wu Kong improves match/ board/ physical damage most because you get the most damage rolls with your match/ board/ physical damage so misses even out with the x2.85 Damage buff.

Caedmon is a tank ( defense & HP ) with lower match/ board/ physical damage where Melendor is a glass cannon ( high attack) high match/ board/ physical damage.

Melendor has one of the highest heals in the game ( 42% which means it scales with +HP from talent grid unlike Heal Over Time ) to heal himself and Wu Kong.

Both Melendor and Caedmon dispell, and can miss when dispelling while Gambler’s Stance is active, but Melendor’s 42% heal is unaffected by Gambler’s Stance miss chance while Caedmon’s Special skill Damage can miss.

Melendor works well with Rigard in manual or auto play because he uses a different color mana so he fills up at a different time than Rigard.

Notes

@Gryphonknight

Teams with two healers and Wu Kong are less effected by a match 3+ on the board failing to stun a Titan due to a Gambler’s Stance miss (see above healing, self healing, tankiness, etc.). In fact forming dragon shields (match 4) and power shards (match 5+) are more important that trying to stun during Gambler’s Stance duration since they are more likely to trigger a matching combo/ shield cascade which is Gambler’s Stance main strength.

With team power 2800 my highest Titan damage is 24,356
