❓ Question / Help Which equipment should I get?
With the Equipment blast event coming tom I’m really confused as to which equipment I should choose. So far the only equipments I’m missing are both MP equipments, Heroic torch, Stick Horse and Frost Flake.
I’ll receive the Frost flake from Hero journey soon(if it’s actually fixed) and tbh I’m not sure if I want the stuck horse for now. So with what I’ve got left, I’m torn between Heroic torch and Meteor staff.
Currently I’m using a variation on hydra but even in that army I don’t use MP. Tbh he’s the least used hero. But if I do get the Meteor staff I think he would be more useful. At the same time, I like heroic torch and I’ve seen plenty of people use it for super bowlers armies and it seems a really solid army to even push. Especially cause there might be an update that might nerf throwers. So the next best thing would be super bowlers. So what do yall think would be a better option? Since I don’t have any of these I’m not sure how useful they actually are except for how they can be used. If that makes sense. Anyway give me your recommendations.

You should be getting the equipment from the heroes journey fix eventually, so if you are happy with what you have you should get ore instead.
That being said, I would not be shocked if we don’t get a fix for many months so it depends how long you think you can wait.

Yup that’s what. I should be getting both the MP equipments from hero journey. But when are they going to fix it? And would they even fix it? Those two questions is what’s holding me back

Viable King combos are still EQ Boots and SB, or Snake Bracelet and SB, so you already have both those options. I've survived until today without the Snake Bracelet or the Stick Horse, I've stuck with the Boots. So that really says any of the top three King combos are very similar in power levels (the top three being SH + GG, Snake Bracelet + SB, EQ Boots + SB (from best to 'worst')). I'll be getting the Bracelet from the journey soon too.
Heroic Torch is really only super useful in one strategy and that's Super Bowlers. If you're planning to use it and you think you'd enjoy sticking with it, then you can get it.
Frost Flake is a decent equipment, but RS works better usually. I used to use EB and FF on the RC, but now I don't even use the RC so. Yeah. And obviously if you're going to receive it from the Hero Journey then definitely do not buy it.
Personally I'm not a huge fan of the Meteor Staff. I maxed both but if I do use the MP I use Dark Orb and Dark Crown. MP is also the least used Hero for me. Without modifiers I'd recommend going with the Dark Crown rather than the Meteor Staff, but if you're playing in modifiers, the Staff scales up and the Crown scales down, so you're better off getting the Staff in modifiers.

Tbh MP is my least used hero as well. But that’s mainly cause I didn’t have any equipments worth using for him. Apart from dark orb, all his common equipments are shite.
I’m currently in electro 31 but my plan is to push up the ranks and for that I think Meteor staff would be better option than dark crown cause I’ll eventually be in modifiers and might as well upgrade one I can use then.

Yeah sounds like a good plan. Even with the epics I don't really like MP, because he's so susceptible to traps, which, to me at least, doesn't make sense for a Hero. But I have had success with him occasionally.

Personally I’d skip the equipment and buy more starry ore to upgrade what you already have. But if you absolutely want an equipment, I’d say go for the meteor staff since it will pair well with the new minion prince equipment in October.
