Don't feed any of those to anyone. Why are you feeding rare and epic champs? Use uncommon champs as food.

If you're asking who to take to 5* of the set of those, we can't answer without context. None of those champs are all-around useful. Most are largely trash. But just because they're trash, doesn't mean you should eat them.

on the whole, i'd say soulbond is the better of the two, but only by a slight margin. it depends a lot on where you're looking to improve most, as well as what other champs you already have. soulbond is great for dungeons, but doesn't bring as much outside them. anax on the other hand is an excellent cb champion and still pretty useful elsewhere, though he's more of a champion that you run until you get someone better to replace him with.

in regard to the other four, i wouldn't suggest using ursine or lordly as food. they're not great, but i advocate keeping one of every epic and legendary champion regardless of their apparent quality. penitent is part of the rhazin fusion so if you haven't done that you'll want to hang on to her as well.

I am leaning towards Soulbond, though it is hard to compare a Rank A Rare champ with a B Epic. In terms of ratings, Soulbond has 5* ratings in like 6 categories, more than all the others. I used to collect lots of champs, but not any more, like to stay light, focus on the best ones since my ability to upgrade and gear champs is pretty meager. Same with fusions, not interested.

Folks that swim in 6* legos all the time are in a different league than I.

You should keep every epic you get and put them in the guardian ring as soon as you have a copie. The guardian ring was in this new update to Raid that was added just recently 3 months ago, you can increase the strength of your champions there.

Feel free to post your updated roster. But at last check, none of those champs are useful at all for your current progression. You're doing yourself a disserve by not participating in fusions. This current one is especially good - likely better than anything you currently have, and almost certainly good enough to carry you through most dungeons/doom tower.

I am going to disagree with some here.

Hero space is not unlimited and if I do not have a roll for a champ and they are below S and A rank I have no worries about useing them as food as I only have 190 and 90 spaces total. I would feed lordly as he is horrid IMO, Ursine keep if you do not have decent skin walkers if you do feed IMO.

Keep the fusion champ as there are 16 total for that fusion.

As to who to level next it all depends on your needs, Anax if building a better CB team, SB is decent in dugeon if you have no Cold heart.

I know I will get shouted down but what good is makeing rares Guardians if you are not useing any rares from that faction? 

Might be an issue for you - certainly is an issue for me. But for OP, no, this isn't really a problem. OP doesn't have that many champs due to extreme attrition already.

I am keeping my roster down to say, my best 30 or so. Which does include some rotation as things come along. I have a few shards in waiting for 2x.  A few ancients, voids, and a yellow.  All of those are likely to be poor, odds-wise.  I just do not have the champs and the silver to do much with, so it is what it is.

With the L50's I cashed in, along with some chickens, I have a L60 Monster and L60 Cillian, those are my main roster changes. But everything I have is light on something, speed, acc, def, hp, etc so slowly working around all the bends to see how much I can gain, wherever.  Those artifacts cost a fortune in silver, takes a while to get through L14 - 16.

I have some 6* artifacts for Kael, slowly working those up the ranks. I have found after restarting this game a few times that having too many champs is really counter-productive, for me at least.

Now that I have Monster I am better able to stay in Silver 4, so I have been getting a few medals for the GH, but that has been pretty tough.

Still only have 5 legos in development, and not the name brand ones. Waiting on SCYL, that will be nice to have again.

The thing is, as long as you have space you should be keeping almost every single epic you get. Even getting a few dupes to throw in Faction Guardians will probably help you quite a bit for stats. Also Ironhide is pretty darn good in FW. 

However, rares, uncommons and commons are a different story. Also I think you should post your updated roster like kramas said, as well. 

I used to have 14 five champ teams for the factions, took too much time and keeping up with all those, still did not have anything really good, so just letting the finer granules sift down through the hourglass. There are about 50 epics that are Class C or F.  Plarium has a thriving business churning out junk champs.

Get Dupes?? (laughter)

You should find a different game.

I mean...not to be rude but this is not an ideal mindset. There are a ton and I mean a ton of usable rares (mainly older ones, I will grant you) and epics that don't have great ratings. Don't have a ton of hype behind them and just need to be geared out competently and put in team comps that make sense. 

Ok, I really appreciate all the enlightening comments.  Bottom line is I found out I had some chickens to use along with champs I did not want, and was able to promote both Anax and Soulbond to 5*.  The bear with the swing is fun to watch but he and Lordly I decided to park in the food line.

Also working on another version of Armiger, probably for the 10th time.

26 champs now

of course all that is possible and I have done stuff like that many times, but it gets really boring using all those old champs like you see in campaign.  I have used all the starter champs, just have athel and kael atm.

I just like seeing what I can do in the game, try this and that, it is ok, I do not make a living off the game.

I play some other Plarium games, they get boring after awhile. Same old same old but none have the casino effect.

I slightly disagree with some of the comments as i think use rares as chickens unless they are one of the few good rares

Of the champions you mentioned, heiress is used in some unkillable teams, but if you dont have the other components, just put in the vault

Penitent- trash, do not waste the time

Soulbound is good for a rare, but i do not understand the fuss, she is no coldheart.

Anax is ok- Clan boss maybe. 

Do you have other champions to consider? and i would aim for 60 not 50 as its a big difference.

Title  of  the  Thread:

Advise me on this decision, pls

Opening  Statement  by  the  OP:

Since I have been told that I make bad decisions, and/or do not implement what the prevailing advice here is, let's try this one.

I am looking to consolidate some 4 star champs into a five star, I have looked at the ratings and this is what I have:

Opening  Statement by  the  Advisers:

Don't feed any of those to anyone. Why are you feeding rare and epic champs? Use uncommon champs as food.

Response  by  the  OP:

Bottom line is I found out I had some chickens to use along with champs I did not want.

Response  by  Player  J:

i

I  can  really  see  you  overcoming  your  bad  decision making  OP.

The  way  your  able  to  ask  for  advice,  then  comprehension the  advice,  then  apply  the  advice  into  your  own  game  is  truly  remarkable.

Its  like  your  on  a  totally  different level.

Everyone else  is  playing  Raid  at  lvl  1

Your  playing  Raid  at  lvl  5.

Extraordinary!

Always nice to see you weigh in on any topic, cheers!

PS, I am still trying to apply your GH guide from long ago. With all the changes in the game, is there any changes you would make to your guide?

Thanks!
