Any versatile ones. From the link above ^ its hard to understand what the votes mean? Anyone can take a look and tell me? Which is more impt ultimately arena or story... PvP or PvE? Maybe the valiant that is good at both... What is the requirement I should be looking for?
Cheers,

To be able to give you an answer, we need to make some dangerous assumptions that have been held constant from the start of game till now, but may change overtime, since no valiant will be the strongest forever (people will just ask for it to be nerfed) so having that thought about a valiant is a big fallacy. So now that I have stated a disclaimer (please dont blame me if the game changes in a way that disadvantages your choice), let me attempt to break it into simpler terms for you.
From the collective responses gathered, the common go to choice by most thread posters is
Kane grand ranger (hera). And i would say go for that as well.
From a pve perspective, within a month or two, you should be getting a 5 star theia and 5 star leon (please keep them and level them but dont MLB until the update is out or dont feed them as training units). So you have gotten 5 star tank and healer covered. You now need a DPS. The dps that has been desirable since the beginning of the game and most versatile would be a kane.
Archer class seems to be and will remain a favored class for the foreseeable future. The triggering is essential in many aspect of the game and also their stun CC (crowd control abilities). Just looking at their normal attack, they are ranged units which are quite valuable. The archer class also looks to remain to be a popular choice as we have yet to see an archer summoner and also the archer that can be triggered with healing.
For pvp, archer goes well with current meta sven/ summoners. For pve, archer grand ranger kane will be helpful for your balthor battle. Capitol wise, a ranger will always find a place, tower as well, and gold mine can use an archer too.
PVE although has been a boring part of game, but its important development area for starting players. With updates on pve coming (elf), i would think that choosing a DPS unit will benefit you better.
Of course all these are but my own opinion. You can help others to help you better by sharing more information about your intended style of gameplay. For example, will you be a whale or a f2p player. All the choices may change depending on your gaming profile.
By method of elimination, since u will be getting a tank n healer 5 star, you need dps. choose from shizu, kane and freya.
Freya(my bias) is unfortunately quite a sitting duck in arena. Shizu wld be good for mines, decent for arena, but compared to kane, and the potential of trigger teams, seems like kane is more useful.
Also considering the kind of heros you may get, kane will go with almost every hero combination you can think of. if you get an extra archer, good, then u can pair with kane for more triggering. if u chose a shizu, your formation choices maybe limited if you get an archer. In short kane goes well with almost every other hero at the start, will remain useful until the late game.
Bear in mind, for a successful grandranger u need lots of crit stat. so that might be hard to achieve for F2P or new player (3-4months). If you dont have resource and impatient, maybe gunslinger could be better, since it can use ares or zeus faith.
So to summarise, depends on how patient you are, how much you are willing to spend, how long you intend to play the game. In each of this instances, going with kane, cant be very wrong.
Your one word answer to your worry: KANE.
