Training Camp 1 should always train the Level 1 option that requires Wooden Swords. It’s really hard to do, as some heroes are the best at what they do (ie tanking like Guin, Aegir, Yunan, etc.) but pretty much suck everywhere else. But obviously some heroes help with that more than others… Personally, I think every hero can be good in their own right, and it’s more about building synergy, stacking and working with what you’ve got - than anything else. All of seasonal 5* are great imho, maybe except Master Lepus. From past HoTM it’s notably Alberich, Gravemaker. Elena is fine if you don’t have anyone with counter attack and it won me a war quite a few times.Īriel, Kageburado, Mitsuko, Poseidon … in fact most of Atlantis not named Mok-Arr and Atomos.
Marjana, Magni, Lianna, Joon, Sartana, are great options. Vivica, by virtue of being single classic 5* healer.
Sonya, more defensive version of Caedmon, and if you have her costume, she becomes one of few 4* with cleanse. Kiril, a walking dragon banner with heal. On offense he can turn the tide of battle. Caedmon, the well-rounder and fast attacker with dispel. He also greatly raises defense with his costume. Besides the costume bonus, he has much saner stat distribution and is not such glass cannon (why is healer glass cannon in the first place?). Gretel especially if you don’t have Hansel or can’t use him. Also has holy defense down, so very useful against titans. Guardian Jackal, is very fast and hits like a truck. Does not go well with debuffers and such, however, because they tend to miss even with non-damaging moves, such as Wilbur. Wu Kong, unless and until one gets Miki. Cheshire Cat has unique mechanic and is extremely useful against yellow titans for the defense reduction, and if you’re lucky, that Ares in middle gets replaced with Magni, exposing opponent’s team. Merlin is fun to use and his special is very useful if there is only one powerful enemy. Proteus is mostly a win button on any final stage with 3 bosses. He looks rad and debuffs defense of all opponent team. He turns him into mix of himself and Boldtusk. Rigard, and if you have his costume use it. Wilbur of course, raises survivability of your team well beyond what would be normally possible.
Guardian Falcon is good tank and has unique fire defense reduction skill. However his alt turns him into a Monk, which means you can use him on certain class quest where very few healers are available. If you have his alt don’t use it, but bonus is very valuable (maxed fully emblemed BT with costume bonus has 780 Power, on par with current fully leveled HoTM). I will detail 4* more because I don’t have that many 5*. I wrote that down somewhere before, but it was ages ago and it is possibly outdated.
