A quick review of how the event works along with my opinions on which units are good/bad and why.
~~~~~NOTE~~~~~
1) Up and Coming balance patch may impact this list. If so a new list will be released

@DaniLoneWolf 7 ай бұрын

Oh my! Somehow I got all the must haves. I got Stene from the initial ML selector, Cilias from the previous headhunt event, Maverick from the Lunar Theatre selector, and somehow lucked out all the others. For this event I wanted Mellona, but no luck finding her so far, even after refreshing all dupes. If I can't get her, I may choose Belian instead, so that I can make use of that hard earned costume. Anyway, nice job there with the short but complete explanation on the pros and cons for each unit.

@isabellamartucci5863 7 ай бұрын

Last time I picked Apocalypse Ravi, I have about 5 of the A teir characters, all of which I got thanks to the free summons. I wanted to pick straze but my biggest problem is gear. I'm slowly getting good gear now and updating my characters as I go. I don't really do PVP cause of gear so this video definitely helped me figure who to pick. Thank you.

For the moment I am having fun and enjoying it.

Hey i'm relatively a new f2p player (Just 1 month playing) and i select ML Tenebria and ML Lilias from the moonlight blessings, also got Zio and ML Basar from free summons and have Destina, Roana, Senya, Choux, Politis, Ran, Glilias, Yulha, Sharun and Nahkwol as a good rta/arena units who should i get from the head hunt event? I planned to Briseria because she works good with Zio in RTA and I wanted to get more focus on that or is better choose LHC? I have Golden Rose too btw

@jonathannigel8979 8 ай бұрын

I'm still deciding between Briseria, Clilias, and Mellona. I had my fair share of trouble fighting revive x evasion defense because my only extinction unit is Lethe and sometimes she is banned or the defense is not suitable to fit her into the attacking team, hence why I'm putting briseria abit higher on my priority list for now. I do have GL +15, idk if its enough for her though. I think I can gear her though. For Clilias is always for the meta reason. I pick Kawerik last time because I'm in dire needs of cleanser (No destina/roana/emilia at that time) but now I have all of them. Picking Clilias would solidify my opener choice and GW defense team. I don't think I can gear her yet (my fastest opener Amid is 255 lmao), but it will get better in the future I guess. As for Mellona, well its mainly for Candy defense (I have no Iwazu, no MA Ken). I don't have gear to spare for Beeho nor Carrot. So I usually tackle Candy defense with Lethe or if they have injury I use Arunka or Gilias if it possible. My Gillias team doesn't have a good track record so I my only reliable choice is Lethe. But something could go wrong on GW right? If I lose Lethe for some rng things, then I don't have any reliable choice to burst down Candy. Hence why I'm putting Mellona high as well. I think I can gear her as well. My perspective is mostly based on GW because I'm not a huge Arena player. What do you think is the good choice for me?

@Section.9 8 ай бұрын

THANK YOU for putting PVE ratings on your video. Nobody else did, or cared to anyways and primarily made the critiques only on RTA. I feel like I'm part of an unspoken majority out there that really enjoys the game for what it is outside of PVP/RTA - so thanks again for at least putting in that additional effort. You've helped me finally decide that Specter Tenebria will be who I head hunt, as I wasn't playing around the time for the first ML Connection - a missed opp.

@TheLastGhostLegendario 8 ай бұрын

i will probably get Zio, its the newest one that i really like and Con Lilias its older same with Crow now, so probably it will not be much until the comeback at mystics. Btw Ran vs Lilias, which one is stronger if is the fastest?

Good luck for everyone on the free summons event!

Is it possible that you make a tier list....not focusing on RTA? If only youd like to ofc. Frankly enough Ive been with this game for several years, and summoners war for even almost a decade now. but I never want to play RTA. I actually have decent gears coz Ive been playing for so long,. Im missing quite a lot of new ml5 since Ive had a break. Thanks a lot!
