Personally I'm not getting either.  Nobel is good for 1 Sintranos stage or of course the Ninja empowerment.  Lanakis is good in a few tougher Sintranos stages but can't see spending the price just for that.

Also I asked the CMs if we are gonna get news on who the new champs are gonna be in the shop.

Genzin & Cillian, both of whom are just as useless to me.  

My Dark Elves are pretty strong, so I don't remember any Sintranos Stages where Lanakis would have helped me much....maybe one of the uber-restrictive Magic Filters?

Of those four options, having a 5* awakened Lanakis is probably the best option.  

Although if I went for Genzin, he'd give me my third FG for Shadowkin, which would give Harima, Ninja & Riho some more Acc/Res.   

Yeah no great options.  I don't think I'd burn dupes for a FG unless it was to finish out the speed slot.

Nobel is awesomesauce. I wouldn't unbind for him, but him + hephraak make for a great arena combo.

I'd only be unbinding toons from Factions that are already full for FG and that I would never empower....so they are just taking up space waiting for something to do....like my third copy of Bloodgorged.      

I got Nobel to empower my Ninja, but I only got Ninja like a year or so ago when they re-released him

Thats fair.

Still gotta wonder if I'd make more use of Foli, Tomb Lord or Fu-Shan than any of the four rotating toons.

But that 5* for Lanakis is just nagging at me.
