Should I use skill shards, or should I keep them for later?

[TiHa]

Hey everyone.

I have been playing for about a little more than a month now and have gathered some skill shards and some in my eyes not too bad toons. I'm now asking myself, if I should use some of the 12 skill shards I have on some of my toons.

My toons I am considering are: 4* Assassin Golden Son, 4* Mummy Eddie, 4* Magus Golden Son and 4* Sentinel Harpy.

It would be really nice and greatly appreciated, if anybody would tell me, if one of these 4 toons is worth using the skill shards on, or if I should keep on hoping for better toons.

P.S. I also have a 4* Gunner Soldier Eddie, 4* Run to the Hills Eddie and 4* Fear of the Dark Eddie but am hardly using them mostly the 4* Mummy Eddie, that's why I'm mostly considering the Mummy for the shards.

My advice would be to hold off using them. Sentinel harpy just got nerfed, but still may be ok. Mummy, even with the skill shards isn't all that hard a hitter. I'd wait until you've gotten some five star characters built up and can start really competeing.

Slauki has a great thread with maximized characters, that's a good place to start. In pvp, the best characters to have change with every update. So, once you've built up a half way decent team, if you've got the skill shards then would be the time to use them.

Wait.

None of those toons are worth The Precious (skill shards), would also be cautious period in this meta changing tornado we have going on. Especially if it's taken you that long to save them.

Thanks for the answers.

I will keep the shards for later use. Will most likely take ages for me to get any half way decent characters then to use them on, but whatever.

With the Mummy I also was influenced by the Beginners Guide v.1 Thread, where he is called the best pvp-Eddie.

THe slauki thread with the maximized toons is great and all, but to me as a newer player, it has two problems.

First and foremost it is gigantic and holds way too many informations for me to process.

Second it does not tell me, how many stars the toons have, when I get them, so i dont know how likely it is for me to get them and what kind of soul I need to get them.

That guide may be a tad bit outdated now. Mummy was nerfed and, while still good, is by no means the best PVP Eddie anymore. It's actually difficult to say which Eddie is the best now, with the recent nerf of VE in mind. Time will tell.

Would a Cyborg Eddie be worth sinking shards into?

Was lucky enough to draw him on the weekend from a Rare Gunner/Assassin Soul I got from a Challenge Reward. :D

[Browno]

Lvl up cyborg and see if you like him. If you do like him you could put shards on him. I personally love that guy :)

[TiHa]

What talisman combination would you advise for Cyborg to make the best of him?

There's a different thread for that: http://forum.ironmaidenlegacy.com/showthread.php?1852-Character-drops-per-soul

Hope it helps!

Omg, you really digged deep to find this...
That was in a completely different world than now..
Although Mummy still an excellent PvP Eddie, he's not worth shards in your situation, worse he's just marginally better once fully built..

Keep your shards for worthy toons... I regretted so many of those..

The Assassin Golden Son is a very useful toon and one of those were a few shards (he only takes 4) makes a big difference as his damage is increased by almost 60 %. He is an essential farming toon and well worth those few shards in my opinion.

Only a few Eddies are worth to put shards into, and Mummy isn't one of them.

By now I've gotten myself a Cyborg Eddie whom I fully sharded, once he was max level and I found how strong he can be. Also thought about sharding the Assassin Golden Son, since it would only take 4 shards and I evolved him to 5* by now.

I'd say it's defintely worth it.
