Galek’s situational uses are not something I want to deal with, and Athel is redundant considering the fact that Dark Athel will join my team soon enough. To me, the only two real options are Elhain and Kael. Her redeeming quality is her auto-attack the possibility of placing a second hit based on critical hit chance is very good, especially since she has a Crit self-buff on her second ability (but only if her attack kills an enemy, which is honestly a common occurrence) Final verdict Unlike Athel or Kael, she really only has raw damage to give, but that’s not always a bad thing! She works well in endgame, although she will be lacking in some aspects of the game. Poor Elhain certainly meets an unfortunate end in the tutorial story, but she’s a viable starter champion. He can be geared in a way that he’ll be pretty good in arenas or dungeons, but gearing up properly is difficult at first, so be prepared to have a lackluster champion if you decide on Galek. Struggling to clear stages early on is just no fun. He will carry you through a solid part of early game, but you’re most likely to hit a wall with him, unlike Kael, Athel or Elhain. Galek is great in the Faction Crypts, and average at just about anything else.

Out of three abilities, only his AOE ability really shines, and his use is more situational than any other starter. Is he bad, per se? No, he’s just not that good. That orc did nothing to deserve it, but he is certainly the weakest champion you could choose as a starter. Is 90 days a lot to wait? I guess you could see it that way, but I choose to see it as a surefire way of getting this flavor of champion… soon.

Between her speed self-buff and her AOE attack’s speed debuff on enemies, you’re going to love her in the Spider dungeon. Not only that, but Dark Athel’s focus is on turn-meter control. Of course, their abilities slightly differ, but not that much.ĭark Athel is a login bonus hero, which means that you’re sure to get her once you reach the 90-day login bonus threshold. I have a simple reason not to pick Athel, however Dark Athel.
