Team building advice, please. :)

So I opened 50 ancient shards today and got a string of new epics and couple of useful rares, so would appreciate some team building advice, please. :)


i


Demon Lord

I only do CB on easy and normal at present. My team is: Vogoth, Noct the Paralyzer, Athel, Yaga the Insatiable, Avir the Alchemage. 

I've been wanting to replace the last two for a while. Reading up HellHades' character reviews, it looks as though adding Tayrel and Frozen Banshee instead would be a good call. Any artifact preferences for these, such as Toxic? 

(I know there's advise to go on stats, not sets, but my runes are not yet strong enough or powered up enough for that - with a 40 day account I'm still pretty limited on what I can use so set bonuses can come in really handy)

Spider

I have no real working Spider team, but Tayrel and Ultimate Galek are suggested by HH as options. Also just got Soulbound Bowyer who could be useful here? (HH suggests stun as a general set for her?). I also have Mordecai in storage from a starter promo code, but not sure he'll be useful in early spider teams? Was originally looking to build up Elhain and Hoskarul as nukers for spiderlings, and now test Giscard the Sigiled as a potential control as well as set up UG ATK buff.

Dragon + Ice Golem

Currently using Noct, Ronda, Athel, Vogoth, and Flesh-Tearer. Figure I'll be able to reliably farm Dragon 13 once I 6* Ronda, as that will allow me to farm 6* artifacts. Perhaps a better way to optimize these teams with new epics, though?

Fire Knight

My current team is Noct, Ronda, Athel, Vogoth, Arndulf. Struggling with FK's heal, so am tempted to replace someone with Fenshi on Cursed artifacts.

Arena

Looks like I can replace Warmaiden as a shield breaker - but with Tayrel, Gorlos Hellmaw, or Zargala? 

Next 6*

My original plan was to 6* Ronda, to help with dungeons and arena, then perhaps Vogoth for all round support. Any reason for this to change? :)

Books

I've not booked anyone other than Athel my starter champion, so have a lot of spare books to use as required. I do like Arndulf as a Fire Knight specialist so have considered booking him, but any other epics I should be looking to book instead, such as Zargala, Ultimate Galek, Gorlos Hellmaw, or someone else? Vogoth apparently doesn't need books, so I've not looked to book him despite his general usefulness. For the rares, presume I'll need to fully book Frozen Banshee.

demon lord: both tayrel and fb are solid choices. accuracy is their most important stat so an accuracy or perception set wouldn't go amiss.

spider: my current advice to you would be don't. if you try to do every area of the game simultaneously, you'll end up spreading yourself too thin and failing to progress in any of them. for now, focus on building yourself teams for dragon, cb and arena and worry about spider once you've gotten a handle on those three. by then, you may have some better options.

dragon/ig: replace flesh-tearer with tayrel. if you can get to a point where noct can keep the team alive by himself, replcae vogoth too. fb is great for killing the boss, while giscard offers some great support options.

fire knight: see spider.

arena: just use tayrel. you're already building him for cb and there's no reason to build two champions when one can do both jobs.

next 6*: your next 6* should be tayrel, imo. he's an amazing debuffer who will help out your team in every area of the game. even if you don't end up going for him, ronda would not be a good choice. she's a great champion overall, but the most important thing early on in the game is to build up a team of champs with versatility and ronda has the exact same role as athel. both are magic affinity dps champs with very little utility outside that.

books: tayrel, hoskarul, and giscard are the three i'd be booking first, although zargala is a solid option as well. rare-wise, fb and soulbond bowyer are the only two i can see that are worth using; everyone else is just food. you might also end up using some rare books on armiger eventually.

one more piece of general advice : quit levelling your epics if you're not going to rank them up immediately. you could have built another 6* by now with the resources you spent bringing all of them up to 40.

I know most of the content creators didn't comment much on the epics in this fusion but Trumborr looks really good as an option for CB, he has A1 weaken and leech (meaning you won't need to farm lifesteal so much) and then he has a ally protection and increase def. It is on a 4 turn so you have to keep that in mind. 

You have Yelagirna, I wouldnt invest too much in to her. I was using in faction wars due to her ress ability but she hits so weak it never procced.

Many, many thanks for the detailed reply - I've now evolved Tayrel to 5* and fully levelled him, and he already seems to make my Dragon 13 run reliable now. Just going to hold off 6* any one until CvC - I should be able to do two champions within the week - though I'm also going to add Frozen Banshee to my shortlist as everything I've read suggests I'm going to be making her a core part of my CB team for a long time yet. :)
