Investing In A Hunter

Cronus

Very simple question: Where to invest the tokens? These are all secondary, really more like tertiary survivors.

Yvonne prior to ruthless intro was a unicorn. You can't see it but she has a shirt on with a plunging neckline. While your eyes are focused somewhere else she drops you like a bad habit.

Leo is a former grunge rocker. He didn't need to change clothes for the zombie apocalypse. He packs a major punch. He isn't interested in lighting you up and running around, he's ready to go toe to toe like a heavyweight fighter.

Holly has all the potential of a truly elite hunter. If her 5th is revenge, sure shot or dodge she grades out nicely. If she gets bullet dodge or defensive stance she stays as walker food for The Distance.

So who's it gonna be?

Leo is your best hunter i would invest all my tokens on him

@Cronus
I am in the same boat......... My 2 cents
Yvonne..... you can find a good armor that has the ruthless trait. I still like my old traits...

I would be tempted to check the 5th on Holly. Lucky is really nice to have since it helps with incendiary, Sasha and crits.

Revenge or sure shot then I would prefer her of the 3 to invest in

Definitely Holly for me depending on 5th trait! But prefer a trait that doesn't deactivate if you move...

Lee. 100%

I have several survivors with Yvonne’s traits and they are all unfortunately obsolete now.

Decisions, decisions....

The first 2 are “safer bets.” I’m always hesitant to give others advice of gambling on a 5th trait, but as for myself, I would totally give it a go on Holly. Hell, I’ve gambled on common survivors with just one trait showing before. So much potential. 5th trait, reveal thyself!

EDIT: I feel I should preemptively give a disclaimer if you end up gambling; I’m assuming you were just looking for some encouragement or prodding to roll the dice on Holly so you included her into the equation here. If you get a crummy 5th trait, please don’t send me any “F-you” messages...

Agree that Holly has great potential. I wouldn't turn her in to walker food if she draws Defensive Stance. If you run her with Sasha at high levels and you have Sasha loaded up with Damage and Crit Damage badges like I do, sometimes you need someone to take a hit and DS (on a Hunter) is better in those situations than Dodge in my opinion.

Good luck whichever route you decide to take!

@Movado What would you consider a crap 5th trait and what trait would you want with Holly?

Leo. Lucky can help charge with Sasha, but so can revenge--more attacks at higher levels means more body shots. Run Sasha, bruiser, revenge survivor (assault, shooter, or hunter), for instance on Backyard Arena or Fenced Off from this past week's challenge and you're golden. Plus the revenge attack does damage along with giving the possibility to charge with Sasha. I do like luck, so if Holly's fifth trait is revenge I'd go with her.

Regarding revenge on maps with freemen or exploders, you just have to get used to the trait, figure out how it triggers and control where your survivors are placed and if they use all of their action points. Some maps you can't always control it, and that's why you hang onto your OG hunter, or just run the map and do the best you can.

This.

I will only invest in a hunter if he/she has at least lucky, marksman, and ruthless.

crambert_nec

Old me would have said Holly if she gets Sure Shot, but the big dawgs have turned me on to the Revenge trait. So new me says Leo all the way. I think he would be slightly better if it was Lucky instead of Iron Skin, as once you get to 33+ you can't really take a hit anyway, but still Iron Skin is not bad.

Cronus

I think I'm going to take Leo to pink and start the process of leveling up Holly. She's useful in The Distance with Lucky/Incendiary. Once I get enough tokens I'll unlock her 5th. My 8 star hunter has legacy traits so it's time to bring forward a decent hunter with ruthless.

I think I found my main hunter's long lost sister. Great to see Yvonne still dresses like her.

This seems to be a very popular avatar for a high level hunter...

It's the plunging neckline

Gain electrons...reduction.

Thanks everyone for the advice (even you @Movado). Leo has finally hit the big time and Holly has started her training. She'll hit lvl 24 likely before I have enough tokens to see her 5th. Will update here once I unlock it. Next up I have a Scout to upgrade. Help me make a decison on how to best spend those tokens!!!!
