Rolled a 5/5 WG - reaper or Pixie?

Just posting because I got insanely lucky and rolled my first two WG 5's almost back to back. First one instantly replaced a junk 3/5 revite on Warlock but I'm not sure about the next one.

Candidates -

I'm mostly about reaper vs pixie for guild wars but the others are worth mentioning. Ghoulem, Vlad and Santa all have upgraded BW so no worries.

Anyway my guild wars team is SK/Cupid/Warlock/Pixie/Aries and either Reaper or Tree, and right now I'm leaning towards Pixie getting WG since her heal and hero only targeting has always been more useful to me than Reaper's extra targets and damage, even at double evo. Just wondering what people think or if I'm underestimating him.

Assuming you're sweeping ID 4-10 (i.e. don't need SM upgraded further) I'd go with Pixie. I'm really liking my evolved Pixie in GW, and putting a WG on her (plus a low level Zerk crest set so you match her cool-down) is really great.

Thanks, I went with Pixie. Really looking forward to the next GW now.

And yeah berserk 4 crests take her down to 1200 attack speed I think, way less painful.

I think you only need a Zerk 3 to get her down to 1200 according to this chart: http://cc.forum.igg.com/attachment/cc/2015/10/02/1443772636705.png

(if you can make use of your level 4 zerk elsewhere).

Level 1 gets her down to 1400 attack (since 1500 rounds up to 1600) and level 3 gets her down to 1200. Next break point is a 6/8.

Hmm I tried it vs berserk 3 crests and it definitely makes a difference, I think is more accurate - http://castle-clash.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:63039

I would put it on SM unless you have a team already set that will eventually clear insane 6, 7, and 8.

If you have a warlock I'd prefer him. Just got lucky with a 5k fame WG 5/8 and put it on Mino. Warlock would have been my next choice. Ups didnt fetch the first line my bad :)

Then it'd be Pixie :)

honestly all these 5 options are pretty good, tho i like slowdown better on pixie, phantom king however doesnt have much use for war god imo.

great upgrade for GR, SM or harpy for pvp imo

Pixie hands down. Her range keeps her out of trouble while reaper has to fly in close enough that enemy heroes aggro on him. With WG WL and Pixie GW should be crazy easy. Drop WL and Pixie and let them build energy for a moment. Then drop Aries and cupid and watch enemy heroes vanish when Pixie and WL proc.

Personally , I'd put it on GR , it's a dmg dealing machine.

That's a tough one. I'd probably lean Pixie, simply b/c she's a much better sniper than WL for GW...and there's really where WG shines. (along with dungeons)

It's also arguably SM's best talent, but since you're going to be doubling up on WG/BW with him anyway, the difference between WG main or BW main is small. Also, you're probably not going to need to/want to level it up on SM while it will be worth leveling up on Pixie
