Empires & Puzzles Top 5 Dark Epic & Rare Heroes of All Time! Full Hero List & Rankings Lets go Dark😈

[@royinga882]

Dude I'm so glad you're making these videos. I've been looking for something like this to help with who to limit break, etc. Awesome

[@McNaultyYT]

Thanks m8 glad ur finding these videos useful it can be frustrating scrolling through reams of heroes with no idea which heroes will be any good when maxed 😅 happy to help! 😉👍🍻

[@theblogchaincrypto9374]

By far McNaulty is a Legend when he makes his videos!!! I personally think Empire and Puzzles should create a Legendary Hero and name it McNaulty!!! He deserves top recognition for his hard work and dedication towards this game!!! 12 out of 10 for all his videos. Since I discovered his videos I have learnt a alot and advanced nicely. It was McNaulty video that made me go for the Birthday Heros and won 4 Gartens and 1 Popit and 1 Timius!!! So 100% McNaulty knows this game well Period!!!

[@McNaultyYT]

Hahahaha! I would love that a Lego named McNaulty 😂😂😂 thanks for the kind words m8 and I am glad u find the videos a useful resource in ur epic journey! Cheers 🙏🍻❣❣❣

[@Sylphou]

I agree, this game is much more satisfying with McNaulty! Not all those who wander are lost...

[@danielbest8733]

Thanks again for another great video! I like that you mention the garbage heroes too in passing. It helps me know who to farm away without having to sort through the heroes completely myself. Keep doing what you’re doing!

[@jernut8195]

Found another amazing, insightful and helpful video! Thanks!

[@ruqayyaabdus-salaam4724]

Another great video McNaulty. Thnx! Don't worry about going into too much detail. It's useful to review them all and we appreciate it. Please do red next.... Hmmm. I have been ignoring my Tyrum, but now that you mention it, he's a 3* purple Sonya. Fura is my girl. Especially in tournaments when you're up against those annoying teams that have 4 healers. She whittles them down. That's her Niche. I use Anabelle as my primary healer with my main 5* team at left wing so she goes off first - put her with Erlang and bang bang! Gilra was actually a good substitute/counter for Treevil until I got one. She cleanses then hits back with defense and manna down. Question for you ... Kitty vs Anabelle for main defensive healer? I have an unleveled Kitty.

[@royinga882]

Kitty is awesome

[@McNaultyYT]

Thanks m8 glad ur happy with a little rambling 😅 as far as a defensive healer I would prefer Kitty over Annabelle, the Cover Health Boost and Reflect are all good defensive skills Annabelle on Defense can sometimes work against you if you have buffs or ailments you need to stick (with the exception of Erlang and co) mostly Annabelle is the better offensive healer cause you can control when she fires. I must say I like the way u use her with Erlang that's exactly the sort of Dark Magic she is made 4 😉👍🍻 also I will add ur vote for Fire to the tally ❤

[@sassykitty8539]

Thank you so much for these 3 and 4* ovals. I will get my hubby to subscribe. You have revived my interest in my heroes and I'm spot I hsbe a few of them!

Great video - always good to get a second opinion on all these heroes. It has enabled me to cut a few heroes and make some space! Nature would be good for me for you to do next!

[@McNaultyYT]

Awesome thanks for the feedback! I will add your Nature Vote to the tally 😉👍🍻💚

[@viscount9630]

@@McNaultyYT I wish I had seen this ages ago... I have Kitty and never levelled her, I also don't have Alfrike and am so frustrated I had a counter and didn't know it. Also go old Sharky to level... Never knew he was so effective against titans. Currently use Belladonna for attack up, Sergei, Malicna for defence down, Ranvir and toon costume Sartana... I presume Sharky replaces Sergei?

[@McNaultyYT]

Tx I wouldn't take Sergei out Sharky and him work together maybe take Ranvir out and replace Malicna with someone less random for defense down Koda is great or Cheshire Cat or Tiburtus will work well too. Only other thing ull want then is a Damage increaser like Franz Hammertusk or Buddy. Ur reminding me I haven't done a video on Titans in ages... watch this space I will put it on the to do list for the coming weeks. Ty 😉👍🍻

[@dbprice100]

Thanks for doing rare and epic. It helps me zero in on those to not only keep but who to get rid of.

[@blindinglight16]

Great idea for a video.I love 3 star tournaments.I would like to defend some misunderstood heroes.Morris is a very good hero,if you 2lb him he gets the boosted health regen and he does 380 damage when he gets out of his hole and he freezes one heroes mana,also you can time him to avoid treevil's damage.Of course he is not top class hero but he is fun to try him.Another misunderstood hero is C.Oberon.He has a nice talent for very fast wars and his poison goes up to 600 in 3 turns (uncleansable).But i think the one hero you totally missed is toon Balthazar. Probably the best 3 star hero available.He is like a mini toon Sartana.He dispels with tiles he resists almost everything,if you hit a yellow hero with buffs he will be deleted.I got mine at level 60 and i used him today as a counter to Faiz. at some point he hit a yellow opponent for 1800 damage(The yellow hero had some buffs)and Balthazar had the toon Brienne buff.

[@s_verm]

Awesome video with a well reasoned list; you definitely can go into details of the heroes with no complaints from my side! I was surprised that so many dark heroes are healers, and there actually others than Rigard and Sabina. XD Also I might be guilty of overlooking Cyprian C2 a bit, got him leveled but no emblems or LB yet. Will have a proper look at him now, of course. Maeve however has been a great veteran in my 3* teams for events. And can't wait to finally also get a Treevil, in this weeks tournament I faceplanted regularly against him. Will look forward to all the remaining elements but my vote goes to fire 🔥. Thanks again for this awesome basics and have a great weekend!

[@McNaultyYT]

Thanks SV you will surely find a spot for Cyprian u just have trust him and he will carry your team through a lot ;?) U won't miss the Aethers either and he rules as a tank in all 4* tournaments. 🔥 vote logged 😉👍🍻

Hey, I'm watching your video "Challenge Event Guide Tips". First thing I done is to check top players teams. So I came here to declare Lexi more valuable than A for event: Vada Kedavr 4th, used mono dark with Lexi to link soul and lower dark armor of ennemies. Btw I have already willbut/collen/gunnarC full emblem, so I don't need her asap.

[@vertigo545]

I'm curious where you would put Juliani into this list. working on my 4* team right now

[@McNaultyYT]

Hiya I'd say Juliani would have definitely made the list had he been out he is a great hero and there's not many hard hitting dark 4s I'd say he's top 10 for sure. Mise currently waiting in queue to be levelled but u have brought my attention back to him now 😉👍

[@sassykitty8539]

We vote ice!

[@theblogchaincrypto9374]

McNaulty if you could make a video just concentrating on which heros are useless from 3* 4* 5* which explains on why not to upgrade them would be so beneficial. I know you have a busy schedule but it would be very much appreciated.

[@viscount9630]

Agreed, there are so many heroes I don't use...

[@McNaultyYT]

Thanks for the suggestion. I will bear it in mind but i have TBH I think that could do more harm than good as different players have vastly different rosters and resources. For eg I used the non costume version of kadilen for the fast def up against special skills but on her own she is a pretty bad choice to level without costume I think it may be better to look at something around team comps and synergies than to create a list of 'useless' heroes cause in this game one man's trash is another's treasure 🤑

[@danpetrelli935]

Hey McNaulty, does getting the costume jump Aqeela up to the top spot? She was already pretty great, and getting the costume adds the passive to even the base form. Thanks!

[@McNaultyYT]

Hi Dan 👋 thanks for the comment. I'd say probably yes or has to be pretty darn close, possibly the best 3 star costume we have seen in a while. Faiz' costume is great too. Just got it yesterday. I'd say those 2 3's and Azmia and Ptolemy are all very very strong 💪

[@danpetrelli935]

@@McNaultyYT Do you think the costume is better than the base form, considering that both get the new passive?

[@gregkaye5583]

It could make sense to follow the generally used sequence of elements ... green-blue-red. 👍

[@yuxuan130411]

how about toon cyprian? when used in attack, he sets up counter attack for 7 turns undispellable, it's almost eternity.

[@McNaultyYT]

True 👍 Toon for Cyprian wasn't out yet when I made this video or else I definitely would've mentioned him 😉 tx

[@royinga882]

Do you recommend double limit breaking heroes for the stats, even though their 2nd limit break doesn't really help too much?

[@samphadhavihara4035]

I'd have to say yes, the numbers are kinda deceptive Vs how effective it really is. You can get a seemingly squishy hero up to about average level in survivability. I've seen un-limit broken heroes get mowed down , while the 2lb either handily survived it or barely, but enough that a single heal gets them back to full health. And in the current Meta trying 3* rush without 2lbs will see you get mauled and do poorly.

[@McNaultyYT]

I'd agree with this. I normally take the hero to LB1 see how much I like using them in a few raids and then go for the LB2. If you are only gonna use the hero for titans or PVE then you probably won't need to spend the Aethers but for PVP yes I'd recommend you do LB2 depending on your resources. If u r limited then id stick with the top 5 on the lists first they are all worth the mats. 😉👍🍻

[@kevinmclain6741]

Good video and well explained rankings. Proteus? Costume Renfield? Costume Bjorn.

[@McNaultyYT]

Thanks Kevin. Glad u liked the video tbh I Don't think I had enough time to give everyone grades for this one but of ur 3 I'd say Proteus is Great 👍 but CBjorn and CRenfeld are both useable attackers but not top 5 IMHO. Thanks again 😉👍🍻

[@Sylphou]

I got Dizzy A+, Haifeng guai "disapointing", Lexi A. Not sure wich one I will lvl up. But Lexi looks better than panther on titan, so I'll focus on her.

[@northernlights27]

Curious, out of Balthazar and Para, which would you level up??

[@McNaultyYT]

Hi Cait. Definitely depends on what u need. If u need a healer Para is a great option but as a sniper Balthazaar especially the Toon version is great 👍

[@deadw1nd]

Is Rigard toon the best costume of all Rigard costumes?

[@McNaultyYT]

I'd say yes in 99.9% of cases. The only one I might also use is his 2nd costume if you want boosted health rather than a regular heal for attacking teams where you need to make sure they can take a big hit. Otherwise Toon Rigs is the best 👌 👍
