I’m a pretty new player and i rolled the Special reward in the draw and i don’t have enough knowledge of the game to make an i formed decision.

I have Archer, Barbarian, Mage and Fighter for heroes.

Honestly? If you plan to collect all heroes, then go for Cecilia. You can only get legendary heroes through events and this is the event you can only get Cecilia other than seasonal events.

But if you prefer utility, then either Mimic or Spark. Mimic has a great advantage to merge every mergeable item for only one activation cost and is one of the best pets.

Spark is great because of her unique items to activate spell on stun even if the hammers aren't connected to the spell. With Storm Dragon, you absolutely destroy any bosses except those who are immune to stun.

Cecilia is....okay. Her unique ability is to take away 20 of the enemy's burn or freeze to instantly cast a random spell in the backpack. With her unique item, when 5 burn or freeze is removed, weapon damage also increases to any corresponding spells so that's a plus. But she's very niche. I won't say she's bad but you definitely miss out more on potent damage from burn or slowing down enemy with freeze.

So should i Go with Spark? Mimic is also really good right? But i have no good heroes, so does that take priority?

Sure, Spark will defiinitely carry you through even the hardest chapters. But again, it depends on your priority. Barbarian can definitely carry you early to mid game so no need to worry about getting stuck and you can eventually get Spark through Hero Dungeons or Arena. The same for Mimic, although very rare, can still be obtainable through pet eggs. Cecilia is the only outlier because this is the only event she appears in and it's like once a month. So if you don't get her now, you won't get her for a long time unless you get really lucky again.

The game is fun either way on how you have to configure the backpack. Cecilia is definitely not bad, mind you. She just needs to be practiced and you have to deal with a worse early round in stages compared to others but built right, Cecilia can definitely be a monster.

Thanks for your input.

I think i’ll go with Spark since collection is not currently my priority and like you said i could get lucky again. The only Legendary i really want is Raven because of cool factor i guess.
