which 4* characters to evolve?

[thealchemist]

Hi there
After learning on the fly and basically evolving whatever characters I had available at the time, I have since been hoarding 3* evo shards to get the maximum out of them next time I choose to evolve. Currently I only have 3 5* Eddies (original Holy Smokes, Gunner and Grim Reaper) and 1 Assassin Soulless demon, 1 Sentinal Newborn of Light, 1 Assassin Axis Bomber Boy, 1 Magus Corrupt Rescuer and 1 Magus Pharoah Dog King. I have enough shards to evolve 1 Gunner, 1 Warrior, 1 Sentinel, 1 Assassin and 1 Magus character. So which characters should I evolve? Here is the run down of what I have at the moment.

Warrior
Axis Bomber Boy
Corrupt Droid
Soulless Demon
Golden Son
Possessed Rockets
Demon Dog
Harpy

Magus
Masked Harpy
Corrupt Owl Cultist (with 3 skill shards which in hindsight I should have saved)
Axis Soldier
Allied Soldier
Newborn of Light
Wickerman Eddie
Speed of Light Eddie
Possessed Mine

Gunner
Corrupt Droid
Undead Allied Soldier
Possessed Rockets
Desert Golem
Desert Marauder
Gunner Dog

Sentinel
Undead Rescuer
Fear Of The Dark Eddie
Angel of Strife
Allied Soldier
Mummy Eddie
Dog of War

Assassin
Storm Eddie
Undead Rescuer
Undead Axis Gunner
Pyro Soldier
Desert Rider
Axis Soldier

Warrior - I still can't decide 100% between Golden Son, Soulless Demon (for atk and def raise) or Bomber Boy (accuracy passive).

Magus - I like the Harpy because of the passive of immunity to be stunned, frozen, blinded. I'm currently not considering any of the Eddies as I like Grim Reaper Eddie a lot.

Gunner - I am strongly considering the Desert Marauder, but Undead Allied Soldier could be a good party healer to have.

Sentinel - I'm really leaning towards the Undead Rescuer as he has good stats and ability to remove buffs from opponents as well as debuffs from my team on top of being a healer. Has decent magic stat too. Fear of the dark Eddie makes me pause somewhat.

Assassin - I have two 5* assassins at the moment so not a urgent need for another. Its probably between the pyro soldier and Storm Eddie but Undead Axis Gunner or Axis Soldier could be a consideration perhaps? I hated the Axis Soldier in Battlefield.

Anyway I am interested in people's thoughts, hopefully with your pros and cons for each. Thanks in advance :)

Imo, just wait, when you get chars like the troll, green soulless demon, AoF, etc... those are the chars you want to evolve, also what sentinel and assassins do you have? Maybe u have good chars there!

With the new skull quests, evo shards arent all that rare anymore, so you shouldnt be scared to evolve a char!


Ps: Evolve a Char YOU personally love!

If you're close to a vortex fill, then I'd honestly suggest that you wait until then. If you get some legendary souls, then there's no telling what awesome new 4* toons you could receive and then immediately pump up to 5*. However, as it currently stands, I'll give you my opinion on your choices.

For Warrior characters, I'd narrow it down to the Soulless Demon, Possessed Rockets, and the Golden Sun. All 3 are solid characters. The Possessed Rockets are a staple in my autofarming team since they wreck face with an attack boost (from my Wickerman).

For Magus characters, your Wickerdog Queen and Harpy are the most useful IMO (since you aren't focusing on Eddies ─ Speed of Light is a solid Eddie). WDQ will synergize incredibly well with your GRE, but then again, she may be rendered redundant with your Pharaoh Dog King (who has the same magic charge).

For Gunner characters, Soldier Eddie is great for farming and some players have made good use of him in PVP as well. The only other toons who stands out to me are the Undead Soldier and Possessed Rockets. The Undead Soldier has a great heal, while the rockets have that useful power boost (although they don't seem to do too much damage due to weird talisman slots).

Thanks for your input Nekro and Tritium :)
I have since cleared out my soul horde and done quite a bit of sacrificing, which has yielded me more Magus and Gunner evo shards as well as a Magus Corrupt Rescuer. So I think I have my answer for which Magus character to evolve. I went ahead and evolved my Soldier Eddie as well. I'll wait on my Warrior choice for now and maybe revisit this thread at a later time.

[Kardas]

In my experience, Gunner Possessed Rockets and Undead Allied Soldier are nice. Undead Allied Soldier's power move is fantastic (good heal AND a damage reduction shield? Yes!), and the Rockets have a good Passive. Here's a good thread on the Rockets BTW: http://forum.ironmaidenlegacy.com/showthread.php?2042-Possessed-Mines-and-Possessed-Rockets-(oh-my!)

I don't really have much experience with the Warrior characters, but Axis Bomber Boy is a good but niche character. IMO he's best paired with good stunners and taunters (due to the Passive), but you don't really seem to have any. Wait with him.

Magus Corrupt Rescuer's a great choice though!

What characters sould i evolve to 5* (i can evolve 2), which character should i spend my skill shards (I've 17) ?

[thealchemist]

I filled the vortex meter in sacrifice today and I got a Gunner Desert Marauder and Gunner Dog from the souls I received to add to the conundrum. GDM has a good passive. For now I have to level them up until I get the final evo shard I need.

Warrior is gonna be a tough choice. Demon Dog is a new addition, but not sure if it changes much. I think I just need to play with the toons more and try swapping talismans (such as the meteor set) until I find a combo I like I guess...thanks for input so far :)

I never bothered with Gunner Dog, but Desert Marauder is great! Even if you don't play PVP he's excellent at sniping the Assassin Lord of Light. I forgot to mention that Warrior Golden Son is like a poor man's version of the Assassin Golden Son. Reasonably choice for farming, and pure offense.

I highly recommend Gunner Golden Son for evolution and Skill Shards. He, Navigator, and Angel of Fear make up my grinding team and he rules!
As for the rest, here are my personal highlights:
- Sentinel Bomber Boy does really great damage for a Sentinel and has a handy Passive.
- Magus Allied Soldier's seen a lot of nerfs but he was my workhorse for a long time.
- I hear Sentinel Harpy is a flat-out great choice for PVP these days.
- Warrior Newborn is also great in PVP because of his buff removal
- Warrior Troll has a good Passive, as do Hell Hound and Rocket Dog, but I believe they've had their best days.
- Angel of Pain and Death Dog have some PVP use.
As for Eddies, probably either Speed of Light for his cheap heal and great supporting moves, or Soldier because of his jack of all trades nature. Would recommend the toons first though.

My Nomad is pretty glass cannon and at higher levels of arena some strong magus build ups were one shotting him so I decided to evolve Warrior Troll and i gave him 3 Void Talisman 2 Guardian Talisman and 1 random green for maximum defence enhancement.

I can evolve any type but only 2 of them since missing rainbow/neutral evo shard

Every opinion matters dude ty. I see green harpy in PVP frequently if i can't get efficiency from Red Troll i can give her a shot.

I used skill shards Magus Allied Soldier and Soldier Eddie but i realized they both nerfed as hell so i didn't want to evolve them. I'm not really into grinding I started to play again when i saw the Arena feature. Yet, i think i should grind to power-up runes so any grinding advice would be appreciated

harpy and sentinel golden son are awesome when paired for pvp, I lost count of how many fight ended with only them still standing.
Soldier eddie when sharded is quite good at giving support. Warrior newborn of light can also be usefull, mine has a strike talisman set so is a sort of counter attack machine wich removes every beneficial effects in a matter of seconds, his power ability however is not amusing.

I really like The Nomad and The Prisoner in PVP so only one slot remaining. I tried Red Troll it was okay, then i tried Green Harpy and she is amazing only need 4 shards and doing great damage

I really like The Nomad and The Prisoner in PVP

I can't blame you, If only I had one of them...

I think the Warrior Bomber Boy is underrated. The accuracy buff is doing good stuff for a lot of characters and is really one of the most powerful buffs in the game. For example, your Magus Corrupt Rescuer will, if fully skill sharded, have a 100 % freeze all chance on her power move when accuracy up is on. Very handy! On top of that he is dealing out marks which are also rather powerful.

I just wonder if it is enough of a difference from the Assassin Bomber Boy that I have maxed out. Passive is what sets him apart but has less def and mr too which is a consideration. I probably need to have a play with different combos and talismans before i finally decide. At the moment I'm leaning to the Golden Son but I'll probably change my mind again haha. Thanks for the input though :)

Since weeks I'm thinking of sharding him ... but there is always something different coming up. I use him quite a bit (set of invisibles on him) in LoL combined with a DM and a Red Troll.

Normally in first round he marks quite a few and goes invisible. The coming perfect attacks are quite devastating.

Thought I'd revisit this thread as I am wondering which toons currently below lvl80 I should focus on in preparation for possible evolving down the road. Most are average 3* toons so hard to decide which to use xp material on. I've added some pics showing my whole team as it stands. Any advice would be appreciated.
