Torch and Galan r4
AA r5

My ebony maw is duped as a 7 star. Im debating taking him to rank 2. I also have 7* Sasquatch at r2, mephisto at r4 s200, and Rintrah at r4.

By ascending Torch, not only can he help finish rank 2 defenders faster, but I can bait them to ban him so that they have less counters for my mystics. My Silk is rank 2 and Titania rank 3 so if I mainly just ban Hulk/Spider Ham my mystic defenders can give them a hard time. (mephisto would regardless as long as torch is banned)

    Yes—all three.

    Dr. Zola

    Seriously— I chose R4 Torch with a similar decision matrix.

    Would you do Fury before them?

    Fury? Without a second thought, easily better than the 3 you listed.

    @Bulmkt

    Assuming you have a roster with a lot of r5s or higher (r2/r3 etc), how often does that Torch get banned?

    AA would benefit me the most in War, its that im afraid he would get banned in BGs. (Mine is low sig fortunately) @ege999men

    I’d say a 1 and 5 chance.

    Tough call, but I might simply because he’s much more of a dual threat than Torch.

    That's a tough call.

    Galan probably benefits the most of the 3 of them, imo.

    But you bring up a good point about ascending torch to essentially "bait" them into banning him.

    However, in my experience, nobody with a big torch is going to ban your torch, because of course they lose theirs as well.

    If that's your reasoning, maybe not torch.

    But if necropolis is on the horizon, a r4 ascended torch is a killer on path 4, and in all other areas of the game as well.

    Plus, if they don't ban him in bg's you have your r4 ascended to use there anyways so it's a win/win!
