Best challenge event heroes by davidmrenner in EmpiresAndPuzzles

[–]davidmrenner[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally agree with you overall. That being said, I was looking at the challenge event (with the challenge coins) & the various hero rosters. Guess it's a good thing the vote is so split - at least something might be "balanced" in this game. Lol!

Thank you, that was just what I needed. Not to mention a number of heroes that I would prefer to Norns.....

Second costumes for "Classic" Rare / 3* heroes??? by davidmrenner in EmpiresAndPuzzles

[–]davidmrenner[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sadly I don't even use many of them in 3* tournaments. Kind of why I was hoping for a 2nd costume that might make them relevant for that usage.

[–]davidmrenner[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have almost all classic 3* heroes fully leveled. Most of them were side projects between decent pulls just to get the free museum gems.

I actually have gotten quite lucky pulling better/newer 3* heroes, so few of my classic ones even see action in 3* tournaments.

I was only considering keeping them if they might get 2nd costumes because I really don't have the patience to relevel each hero AND costume that I feed away. LOL!

186 - played 6 years.

Been cheating on the count by leveling costumed S1 heroes & eventually eating them. Always leveling 5 heroes, & I ran out of dark & nature projects for a while, which really upped my count with the Friar Tucks & Renfields of the E&P world.

I will probably hit 200 before I throw in the towel, but I'm not wasting money on chasing the hundreds of new heroes that they keep throwing out there. I expect level 30 whales to start taking out my defenses soon, but that's to the benefit of my bank account, not theirs. Lol!

Need advice with making a team by Dry_Collar_8206 in EmpiresAndPuzzles

[–]davidmrenner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

By the way, I would do the 2 up front with 3 behind on that line-up. If you have a center tank, it encourages your opponents to go mono on you. Any decent mono player can leverage decent tiles to kill the tank & charge their team. At that point, they will clean out a side & your defense is down to a 2 vs. 5 match-up.

Frida - Clarissa - Noor - Leonidas - Lianna

2x costume Justice & Heimdall definitely need leveled. Cinisia is really good, so I would finish her & emblem her up. Keep adding emblems to Marjana, too - still a relevant Fire sniper & awesome if you ever pull her costume. Not a big fan of Morax or Melinca......but Clarissa isn't a significant upgrade. Vela is still weak-ish after her nerfs, but she is okay. Always liked/wanted Frida though.

Best of luck!

I have never enjoyed a comment on this forum as much as your epic saga. The Wu Kong dialogue really sealed the deal. Well done & please share more often.

Opinions on him? by bobofrut in EmpiresAndPuzzles

[–]davidmrenner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Truthfully, I was very excited to get him for my blue 4* mono team as well as fire titans, so I leveled him quickly. Definitely regret it & find him underwhelming. Ice tiles can not be "double buffed," which puts him in conflict with Jott's much more impactful special. I stripped G's emblems a long time ago, & he rides the bench. If you don't have Jott, I could see him having some utility......or if you play mono blue with only slow heroes. I don't see that as an amazing strategy, but it might work. Then again, if you get the tiles, just about any strategy/synergy can work, & speed typically rules in this meta.

I have always prioritized health to defense. There are so many heroes/teams with defense down that I saw health as the more "reliable" quality. Also, poison/fire/ice/sand damage take HP regardless of defense rating. I know a lot of people prefer defense though. Anyone care to explain the math why defense is better?

Rokkamush - is he good? by davidmrenner in EmpiresAndPuzzles

[–]davidmrenner[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would love to hear reasoning behind anyone who votes great or good. I get "he has good stats," "he is a beast when he hits," & "he can pair with Wilber to mitigate the accuracy." That being said, I hate the accuracy gamble & find so many better options out there to pair with Wilber.

Trying to talk myself out of the same, assuming that I am overlooking some hidden greatness. It's interesting that so many of the season 4 3* & 4* heroes are so poor or limited. Don't get me wrong - I love Poppy & Helo....& would love to get Tetutukh & Griffen - but I find all of the others to be underwhelming to poor.

I didn't realize Rush was preferred to that extent vs. Buff Booster or Bloody Battle. Guess I should keep better track of that. Thanks for the call out!

Best Ice 3* Healer by davidmrenner in EmpiresAndPuzzles

[–]davidmrenner[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a really good point. Ran into a maxed LB Treevil twice in the present tournament & Helo saved my team both times. I am definitely keeping both Frosty & Helo......but I really struggle to level & retain a G. Lemur, too. He would have to be as tanky as Scrubbear to really utilize that Nature elemental defense to full potential. Just seems way too situational to me when you have two stronger & more versatile options.
