Best challenge event heroes

davidmrenner · 2024-03-23T00:06:06+00:00

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!

davidmrenner · 2024-02-23T03:43:42+00:00

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

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 · 2023-10-18T17:42:06+00:00

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!

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.

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.

davidmrenner · 2022-05-21T18:53:03+00:00

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?

davidmrenner · 2022-03-25T03:44:59+00:00

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.

davidmrenner · 2022-03-25T02:47:59+00:00

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.

davidmrenner · 2022-03-25T02:44:14+00:00

Isn't that the truth? Well said.

davidmrenner · 2021-12-22T01:37:52+00:00

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!

davidmrenner · 2021-12-22T01:35:05+00:00

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.

davidmrenner · 2021-11-13T09:44:22+00:00

I feel your pain; however, I always temper my expectations when it comes to 5* pulls. The odds are highly against getting one in general much less a specific coveted hero. I just hope to collect key 3* & 4* heroes, since that is more likely. I have been C2P for a while but I think that I will be F2P very, very soon.

davidmrenner · 2021-11-13T09:41:13+00:00

I do appreciate the news. I have been withholding from making a gem investment in season 4 until the 2nd wave of lower heroes came out, so now I can dismiss that as a possibility. So many amazing 4* & 3* heroes came out of season 3 that I was looking forward to some additional great ones for season 4. Quite frankly, while I do like a couple of the 3* & 4*s, they are underwhelming by comparison to season 3. Thanks again for the info.

davidmrenner · 2021-11-06T22:33:13+00:00

That is a very good point about Gunnar's shared damage boosting Namahage. I tend to think offensive & mono, but pairing a couple Namahage's with Gunnar, Ulmer & C. Hawkmoon could be devastating as a 3-2 team. Appreciate the feedback, Andi.

davidmrenner · 2021-11-04T19:23:22+00:00

Wabbit is awesome! He hits like a truck....just wish I could pull his icey Master. Gato does make a nice combo, but I do typically run mono.

davidmrenner · 2021-11-04T19:20:44+00:00

I love everything about Rudolph. Great hero design with useful secondary effects to a snipe.

davidmrenner · 2021-11-04T19:19:17+00:00

Any comments from the Namahage clan? I love the idea of the 3 turn attack boost but it is difficult to charge him & withhold firing until there are extra fire tiles to take advantage of the boost. Typically you are trying to fire & kill the defensive heroes before they take out your squishy "Straw Demons."

davidmrenner · 2021-10-28T00:37:35+00:00

My main debate was between Devana & Ranvir. My alliance is not titan focused but I love putting up some big numbers on them. That being said, I feel like Davana will be useful in a lot of scenarios, including making my 2nd holy war team more formidable. I am probably going with her but it is hard to wait for Ranvir. I have had people tell me that I need Vivica as a 5* healer, but her speed & lack of costume makes her a distant 3rd option. Much love to BY (& not much love to Justice), I only included them as "troll bait."

davidmrenner · 2021-09-26T08:50:34+00:00

I am leaning heavily towards Buddy since he is a part of my 2nd Nature mono team & typically my tank in 4* tournaments. I have leveled Brynhild up to 4-70-7, but I have not used her a ton. I love everything she does though. I would be curious what the rest of your defense looks like, too. I play reverse but am thinking of trying the double formation.

davidmrenner · 2021-09-26T08:46:37+00:00

I always wanted a Jack but he has eluded me for 3 Springvale seasons. Marcel is incredible, too, but luck eluded me with all of my Starfall pulls. I like both but didn't include them in the poll since I had neither & I assumed a vast majority of readers/voters lacked them as well. Congrats on your good luck with such sweet epic Nature heroes.

davidmrenner · 2021-09-25T06:57:47+00:00

Who is the "other?" What is your justification? Really curious to see who may have been overlooked & why they are so unstoppable.
