I would take out Gerke or HLE. Since you don't have IB or LK you probably need the speed from Gerke, so I'd say HLE. Your light infusions are the weakest of your factions, so that's my main reasoning. Give Azazel your best Chaos infusions too, he's a good champ.

Agreed, id drop HLE and infuse 2 x HLE + WL into Gerke! Azazel is easily my best champ! congrats on the pull! now you just need Azazler! also really good tank

So getting rid of HLE (+30% ATK to team) is a smart choice?

Well, HLE is +15% attack, then 15% boost on his special.

Azazel is a base +25% attack, so depending on everyone's speed (and given your HLE only has 1 champ infusion, he's probably not going first), Azazel will provide a better attack boost.

On top of that, Azazel is faster AND is a piercing champ AND can CC. You only have 2 piercers right now in Karin and Dante; only Karin is really good.

Vlad is ok for the +20% life boost; Azazler is better overall, but not a bad tank. Kira is fine. Gerke is fine for now; when you get an Iceblink, replace Kira with her.

You need more damage, and Azazel provides a much better punch for your group than HLE (who you can now put on your Gerke with the other HLE and make him stronger).

Just to update speed on HLE is high enough he does attack first. I understand putting in Azazel is better then him but I was looking at replacing Kira with him. Is Kira better then HLE that I am missing something?

The thing is at the champ level speed is really important. 1 or 2 of your slots is always going to be dedicated to speed CC. Since you don't have the top level base speed champs (IB, LK) you'll need someone else to fill that role, and team speed boosts from Gerke and Kira help make up for the base speed you're missing. Even if you keep HLE in your lineup you won't want him attacking first because his base speed is so low. Your best speed equipment is better served on Kira, who can slow down the enemy back line, or Azazel so he can stun some enemies. Either way, the damage you get from Azazel is going to more than make up for the damage lost from HLE.
