@@combonator85 Same here. I hate seeing Sludgus on the other team while I don't have one of my own. I used to hate seeing Scrollbeast but I leveled up Violet Potts just for him.
I have 2 of the heroes, ScrollBeast who I love and just got costume for my Guardian Gazelle. Hopefully I can summon another great holy hero soon! Thanks for your videos, Combo!
Cool vid, like layout and artwork a lot. The time you spent on it, was well worth it. Sludgus is the superstar, of course! Personally think Shimmerscale is better than Scroll Beast, but that's subjective. I just love fast heroes more. Thanks, Combo!
Glad you enjoyed the video! I do have Shimmerscale, and I like him a lot, just felt like Scrollbeast had more to offer with a strong mega minion and the wither effects being VERY hard to overcome.
I love your videos. They are very informative and helpful to me when deciding which heroes to level. I have one question. What happened to Astrid? She's everywhere now. She has to be at least in the top 3.
VERY good question! If I had one regret for this video it would be that I did not include her. When I was compiling my initial list she was in the top 10 but got bumped out as I was rearranging the order of heroes. I took her out looking at her as a reviver/healer with the possibility of damage to 1... That being her special took her out of top 10, but I did not take into account enough the passives with the reduced dancing. Her special combined with that and her bard mana increase is what should have kept her in top 10. My bad :)
Sludgus is in my opinion more useful on offense than on defense. On offense you can time his Special so that your opponents fire directly after him, oftentimes killing themselves with their attacks while Sludgus has healed your heroes before - this works especially well against toons.
Hey I think you could have added "Astrid" in the list. I have her maxed and she is amazing. She helps me not only in map stages but also at wars, tournaments and other missions.
Yea she definitely got snubbed on this list, totally my bad. She should be like #4-5 on this list probably. I didn't take into account her passives and bard class enough, those are VERY useful.
Very informative. I've been playing for less than 3 months, so my roster is a bit underwhelming. Maybe you can tell me which of my 5* characters are the best and who I should put in my standard team for most content: Gooldron, Faerona, Mene, Zidane, Frigg (+ costume), Passepartout, Nomad, Domitia, Ahmose.
Many of your heroes will help you a lot in the map stages, specifically heroes that attack more than just one enemy and healers, which is what you should focus early on. As far as heroes that will help you longterm Gooldron is definitely your best hero, and then Mene probably. My Line contact info is in description of video if you ever want to DM me there with any roster questions.

Gonna give my two cents again: Hilda is good, but whether she belongs in the Top 10 of yellow heroes seems a bit questionable. I wouldn't put Gandr in here. The damage isn't too crazy for a slow hitter and neither of the other effects are all that gamechanging. Good, but not as good as quite a few heroes who didn't make this list. Costume Gazelle isn't surprising to me at all, 8th seems a bit low actually. She's just an absolutely amazing hero. Toon Vivica is by far the most overrated yellow hero in the game. She's the prime example of a passive tank that's pretty easy to beat if you have a half-decent account and know how to play, but gets way too much praise that she really doesn't deserve any more than the other deep healers that can be hard to kill. I have her and stopped leveling her halfway through because the only thing I'd ever need her for is as a cleansing healer for Rush, a job that Toon Rigard can do just as well. I really don't see the hype around her, she has the most basic healer special ever at slow speed and a toon passive and people act like she's the shit for some reason. Rant over. Lemonwood can't hit you 15 times, the extra hits are limited to 10 ;) We run him on most of our defenses and it works pretty well. Definitely deserving of his spot in here. Now Scrollbeast, unlike Vivica, actually feels like a good slow hero. Like, you're getting the impact you'd want from a slow special. Good damage, wither for survivability and a mega minion... That's quite some stuff happening. Costume Zhuge Liang is amazing. His special just gets you ahead so much. I'm really happy to have him. I don't think you necessarily want to play for Iga's 3rd charge, but rather just for what makes sense in the moment. Definitely a great hero though, especially if you have multiples of him, which seems to be a trend for a lot of the new ninjas. Rosalind is pretty much the type of tank that Toon Viv is, but actually good. She can stay alive for a long time, the mega minion does put a little pressure though and the stacks add up if you tiledump her for too long. Sludgus is one of our priority flanks, just really annoying to face and a great healer. I don't have time to properly make my own ranking this time, but it would probably have Astrid, Shimmerscale and Toon Leonidas instead of Toon Viv, Gandr and Hilda as well as a different order, maybe Astrid in 1st actually because she has like half a decade of relevance ahead of her as a bard healer.
I'd say that is much more than 2 cents worth lol Thank you for the time put into your response. A couple things... 1) I personally agree about Toon Viv. I have no issues with her but I know a lot of people do. A max health reducer is a killer to her, and almost any strong sniper makes it so you can just ghost tiles up the middle after killing her. I actually have her toon and all costumes maxed, but never thought it worthwhile to max her main and add emblems/LB her, I use her occasionally but I've got a decent roster. 2) Astrid not being on this list is my biggest regret. I didn't take into consideration enough her passives and bard class, and when looking at her she was bumped out of top 10 because her special itself in actuality isn't *that* great compared to many others, this was definitely my bad, and she should really be like #4 or #5 if I were to redo this. 3) I agree with many other things you said, and Gandr probably would have been the odd person out if I added Astrid in. Shimmerscale was on the cusp for me, but I felt Hilda had more value. I have Shimmerscale and love him, don't have Hilda but she seemed better.
Guardian gazelle best hero ever . Keep heros like neith and odin realavent. By making them do double damage . Dont use gazelle on defense they will target her first
I chose her for outfitter event. I never leveled up the base from when I got it in FS because it wouldn't have gotten playing time with my roster so I'm leveling her up from scratch now, definitely excited to use her!
I think lemonwood is a little overrated. He's very good but some players think he is the best hero in the game. I fight him alot and rarely have trouble with him.
Yea I just feel like when he is on defense it forces you to take him out quickly or else he ends up screwing you. AND he can be VERY useful on offense, but I don't disagree that some people talk a little TOO highly of him as the best hero in the game.
VERY good question! Not number 1, but I definitely made a mistake leaving her out., possibly as high as 3-4 if I were to reconsider. If I had one regret for this video it would be that I did not include her. When I was compiling my initial list she was in the top 10 but got bumped out as I was rearranging the order of heroes. I took her out looking at her as a reviver/healer with the possibility of damage to 1...

Moonbell is good, decent minions with strong mana increase, and other effects of special are good too, was someone I was considering adding, just didn't feel like I could remove someone on the list to put him on.

I like how you've presented the information. Sadly, I don't have any of the characters in the top five.😢
Glad you enjoyed the video! I'm hoping we see some of those top 5 heroes in covenant portal again... I really want Sludgus!
How i am with dark heroes, my holy team is aight 😊

Esxcellent content,i have Toon Vivica and costume Gazelle plus Shimmerscale who didnt make the list,so im not too far behind
Shimmerscale ALMOST made the cut, he's a great hero!
Sludgus is in my opinion more useful on offense than on defense. On offense you can time his Special so that your opponents fire directly after him, oftentimes killing themselves with their attacks while Sludgus has healed your heroes before - this works especially well against toons.
That is a very interesting point, I should be stealing Sludgus's special with Lord Loki more often lol

I don't have anyone. You could have made it into the top 20. Who knows, maybe one of my heroes would get in. 😅
lol maybe for next week's ice/blue top 10!
Cool
Thank you!
I have Vivica. I could do Gazelle. That is it. 😞
Both are great for different reasons, Gazelle definitely a VERY useful offensive hero.
I think lemonwood is a little overrated. He's very good but some players think he is the best hero in the game. I fight him alot and rarely have trouble with him.

Toon leaonidas didn't feature 😢
Great hero, just not top 10 material in my opinion. He should be fast mana speed.
Time stamps would be nice.
Thank you for the feedback! I will try to incorporate that in for the next top list video.
Where is Astrid ? No 1 for me
