Need advice on who to evolve to 5*

[LegoMech]

Hi Everyone,

I could use some advice on who to evolve to 5* next. I have enough to promote one Magus and one Sentinel. Here is some background first:

I currently only have four 5* characters - Soldier Eddie, Visions Eddie, Fear of the Dark Eddie, and The Nomad. Because of this, I need at least one of the promotions to be another non-Eddie so I can field a full 5* team. Currently I use a 4* Red Rocket Dog for that spot. I have many maxed out talismans but have not been able to beat Underworld Hard yet.

Sentinel choices:
Allied Bomber Boy
Soulless Demon (already maxed on skills as he was my first 4*)
Golden Son
Newborn of Light
Haunted Pumpkin
Allied Soldier
Undead Allied Soldier
Angel of Strife
Mummy Eddie

Magus choices:
Allied Soldier
Haunted Pumpkin
Masked Harpy
Newborn of Light
Pharaoh Dog
Angel of Pain
Wickerdog Queen
Speed of Light Eddie
Wicker Man Eddie

Also, any insight into why you suggest one over another would really help. Thanks!

The blue allied soldier with his shield is a winner for hard levels. But shields are buggy right now.

The shield of the Green Golden Son and his 25% more healing will also be a great support. He does not hit as hard as the soldier but can heal the whole party on perfect attacks. Again shields are buggy right now.

If you can't beat underworld hard I'd go for a defensive strategy or a protector.

Or the combination blue soldier and green demon. One for protection and the other one a hard hitting tank. Especially if your skills are maxed. I think I would do this.

If you have the Soulless Demon already maxed out skill-wise, it seems only logical to upgrade him. I can vouch for it being pretty damn impressive!

Sentinel soulless demon and Speed of Light Eddie would be my choices. SoL Eddie is great in some of the LoL levels due to his heal and utility skills.

100% agree with Bobo. Sentinel Soulless Demon is, arguably, the best Sentinel hitter in the game, in my opinion... you can't go wrong, levelling him, especially if he's already all sharded up.

As for your Magus... with your team, I'd say the Allied Soldier is probably the one I'd level first... he's a solid character, and hopefully his shielding issues will pass soon.

If you need healing though, Pharaoh Dog is a fine option too, I've often heard it said hereabouts (never used him much myself)... so it depends what you want to focus on.

What Talismans do you have on Soldier Eddie and The Nomad (and Rocket Dog)? Those are characters that should get you through if you have the right build.

Anyway, from your choices, I would go with Sentinel Soulless Demon and Angel of Pain.

Also, start pumping skill shards into your Nomad.

Thank you all for the quick responses!

Based on your feedback, I will upgrade the Sentiel Soulless Demon. He was a staple for me for many months because I had maxed Blind talismans on him and Blind + Taunt was a killer combo, but then Blind got nerfed. I'll give it another shot and see how it goes though. Any alternate recommendations for Talismans for him?

I'll leave the Magus upgrade up in the air for now until I get some more opinions.


For those who asked, here's my current setup:

Nomand Level 100

Skills:
All maxed

Talismans:
2x Health (Overwhelming) at Lvl 50
2x Strength (Safeguard) at Lvl 50
2x Guardian (Fierce) at Lvl 40

The plan is to replace the Guardian talismans with Strength (Fierce) Talismans once I collect and upgrade enough of them.


Soldier Eddie Level 100

Skills:
Barrage (normal attack) maxed
Bullet Trace 3
War-Torn 3
Acrid Smoke 5

Talismans:
Strength (Fierce) at Lvl 50
Strength (Safeguard) at Lvl 50
Guardian (Fierce) at Lvl 50
Guardian (Safeguard) at Lvl 50
2x Boost (Will) at Lvl 50

Again, I foolishly dumped all my Strength talismans early and am slowly building back up, so I'll switch the Guardian to Stength as soon as I can. Also, I stopped spending skill shards after Barrage was maxed, especially since his Fury move seems to be nerfed now. He hits like a truck with Barrage so I'm pretty happy.


Rocket Dog Level 80

Skills:
I haven't spent any shards here

Talismans:
1x Health (Overwhelming) at Lvl 50
1x Strength (Safeguard) at Lvl 50
1x Strength (Fierce) at Lvl 50
2x Strength (Fierce) at Lvl 40

I left the Strength Talismans on the dog because Guardian instead of Fiece on Eddie is only a 6 point loss on the bonus but is 13 points on the dog. Nit-picky, I know.

Thanks again everyone! This community is awesome!
