Soul Exchange Zeroes

Going to Silverpaw at 15. What 3 heroes are the most interesting and survive the ban hammer?

(none of these would be top heroes in my roster, I'm looking for working men in the utility business to survive the coming layoffs)

I'm leaning towards Hulda, Liora, and Chameleon

I would keep Sha Wujing, Eron and Hulda.

Chameleon is a tough call - the special has fantastic potential utility, but without any costume he’s… hmm a titan/Mythic Titan specialist possibly?  Size isn’t everything, but in stats and survivability he’s basically a 4* hero at a 5* cost.  If you don’t mind investing in a specialist, it’s a very nice ability, just tough.

I don’t know if you’ve pulled the trigger already, but I guess I’d say some of whom you keep depends on whether any of your keepers would be leveled potentially soon, or “maybe someday.”

If it’s the latter, then heroes whom you can costume via Visiting Outfitter are a consideration — depending on how many *other* folks you have already waiting on a costume.  

Hulda -> cHulda is a consideration, just ask yourself how often you’d go full summon (she’d likely go well together with cW3K heroes and their Unstoppable Minion schtick).

Depending on what you’re facing, Vaishali is possibly still decently usable as-is, but also her costume will be VO-able in about a year.

For more immediate use:

Eron’s Shifting Mindless Attack is always useful; his attack mechanic mean that Growth/Wither matter for with him than most heroes.

And while some folks look down on HotM, Liora and Dvalin are both reasonably respectable damage and some utility (Liora’s dispel-and-possibly-steal, Dvalin’s debuff-and-buff).

—

Personally, I’d probably lean toward something like Vaishali, Eron, and either Chameleon or a HotM (possibly Liora if you were leaning her way already), but it depends a bit on how you’d combo them up with teams of course.

 

Good hunting!

I would keep Hulda, Liora, Cardinal Richelieu

@BobTheSnark  All colours have 1 hero in que so realistically these 3 heroes could see imminent lvling. That puts the VO a long way in the future for someone like Vai but a year flies by in this game honestly ¯\_(ツ)_/¯     Ray and milena are aldy 1lb so Vai would mean I have 3 magic heroes waiting for their eventual VO date. not terrible, at least it's something to use the VO on. However if I want more magic heroes with costumes Ulius is available in FS and VO and all that stuff.

Some other reflections everyone's responses have brought up

Liora is my 2nd 2025 hotm so she unlocks the elemental link.

Reading Dvalin's card again... corrosive deals extra dmg against minions. I just finished aurorx specifically because he is anti-minion and there may be a 2nd wave of minions coming with construct minion cores. 

Eron, Hulda, GC all seem kind of vanilla to me with GC being the most interesting. Eron would join Daemon and Omen as red snipers who, while all doing something different, occupy the same control habitat and I don't think I need more. 

So after some great responses I'm sitting on keeping

Liora, Dvalin and ?[Vai/Hulda/GC/Eron]? see how I feel in the morning

[SnowRaven]

Costumed Hulda with matching legendary troops makes a very powerful tank in defense. She's helped to win many wars. Her minions are strong, constant healers and heavily boost defense and mana generation. She's also good in attack, as a team protector, even though defense is where she really shines. I would definitely keep her, cHulda is a hidden gem.

I also have Vaishali, but without costume. I don't use her often because of her low stats. I took Eron recently from the fated summon. Like all owls, he's fast but not very strong, and usually dies first. I have Liora and Dvalin, both are strong heroes. I don't have experience with GC but the stats seem pretty outdated.

It’s a fair point — it’s good to note “Visiting Outfitter could help with this,” but if and when you already have a queue (never mind what else you might also get in the meantime from Fated Summon or other summons), then yeah it doesn’t pay to value too much a hypothetical costume you may never get around to.
