Rufus???
I heard that Rufus is the second most commonly used survivor behind Daryl. I'm just curious, is this true? Do you all use Rufus a lot? Is he a favorite?
I ask because I have yet to meet a player that uses Rufus. Perhaps it is due to playing in high level guilds and higher players don't find much use for him but he seems like the least useful survivor in my cabinet.
What are everyone's thoughts on Rufus?

However, Daryl is actually worth using, free or not. Rufus really isn't worth using. In fact, I wish they would allow us to trash heroes. I would get rid of him.
I can understand newer players unlocking the assault class for the first time and getting him and wanting to use him if they don't have any other assaults in their arsenal but he's really a poorly constructed player.
However, we would love to be able to delete him.
Besides, Chris Hardwick is awesome. I wish they dedicated a better player in his honor.
Not only that, but this is only considering heroes. What about non-hero survivors? Since they're all unique, you can't track those across different players' rosters. But if you could check whether each hero shows up in each player's most used survivors, that would be more meaningful. I bet "your favorite hunter" is likely to be a non-hero for most players, for example.
I have Daryl in outpost for his retaliate (and because he's my only legendary hero). I use Negan, only for three bruiser quests, because I only have two non-hero bruisers. I used to use epic Glen a lot because I didn't have any other good scouts. Rufus I used during the Rufus kill event, and that's the only time. I don't use any other heroes regularly, because they are hundreds of tokens away from being useful for me.
That means for me, from the lowest levels to the highest levels of challenges, for scavenges, for raids, for basically any mission I use all non-heroes 99% of the time. Let's say Rufus was my second most used hero; how much would that mean?
Bad to the bone!

Any rational explanation, other than he's a drunk, or you hate the Talking Dead would be most appreciated.
For the record I hardly use him since I have Abe and a 5 star ahead of him..Thanks...
I love the emo responses from the others too LOL
'Rufus is awesome but I don't use him because I have Abe..... 'yeah, my point exactly.
If he were so great you would be using him all the time.

I have no problems saying it.... he sucks.
If my Rufus was epic and not still green I would use him more often. I know that he made me able to win some maps I couldn't make with my best team (and I tried several times).
If a hero's leader trait sucks it's Rick's. Plus it's so vague... What does close even mean?
I also think that Rufus being the 2nd most used hero is because so many people got him for free and didn't have better options at that point. I wish I had gotten him for free on my 2nd account. I would use him all the time there (my only assault there is Rosita and she's weak at 2star...).

I used Rifus only one time...
--> Do you need a guild? ...send me a Private Message. My Recruiting den and my "Art Objects" in the Next Games Collection.
So, I'm confused to how people make use of him at higher levels.
When i try that, i get swarmed as the damage is too low.
Swap him out for Abe, and I'm able to benefit from a Assault in leader slot
Maybe, it'll change if i get him to Epic - Rosita and Abe are for me.
There are lies, there are damn lies, and there are statistics!
When I used him on higher levels for the extra points I had to keep him out of the way. Still helped me because I needed the charge points for my shooter and hunter.
As long as he is green, I am not using him much either - because of the better options (epic Abe and 6star assault).

Would people feel as comfortable with a comparable Jewish cartoon? An African one? A Hispanic one? An inner city one?
I'm quite used to this concept, that it's fine to make fun of hillbillies and rednecks (actually different terms) but is it really?
Maybe at epic I'll use him, or not. But I don't see his tokens in regular pulls and I tried a few 10 calls (with predictable results) so maybe I'll never know.

I think this is exactly right zbot. I didn't have Rufus as a new player when I started the game so I imagine if I had an assault before I could unlock the assault class I would probably love using him at a player level of 6.
For those of us maxed out and at a higher level, he is utterly the worst survivor in the catalog.
I don't care about the hillbilly thing, that has never bothered me. I just really like Chris Hardwick and I'm not sure he is aware how much they made his grandfather inspired player absolutely suck.
The free gun they gave us for him last week is GREEN for cripes sake. Does anyone waste xp on greens these days?
> I've never used him. He's too hard for me to level up, and I never place the hero-centric radio calls. I always do the the "Choose From 3" 15 Radio calls. I'll take hero tokens if they're too good to pass up, ie. if they turn at 128 or 256 and the rest of the pulls are 32 for non-heros.
Tabernac, don't bother upgrading him. He's not worth it.
> Rufus doesn't do enough damage. As a result he never gets charged, barely 1 point, let alone enough to stun.

That's because we don't make use of him because he is useless at higher levels Carlos:)
> Rufus = Useless! Still don't understand why Chris Hardwick took all the pain only to create the worst TWDNML hero that could ever be!!!
LOL T_12
EXACTLY!
This guy gets it.
