Need advice with two builds please

criswolf09

Hello there, I just finished leveling a hero for Defender's National Training Program and I don't know if the builds I have in mind are well... So I need advice. These two builds are homages to my two favourite Digimons from the kids show.

The first build is a tribute to Leomon, a beastman hero who uses slashes and is very tough, his main attacks are using his Lion Fang sword to perform multiple slashes and Fist of the Beast King which is like a hadoken but the closest thing we have in Champs are either Open Palm Strike or Final Punch, so I picked the latter. Here's the build.

Regulus - WIP - Freeform (Tank)

The second build is a tribute to Weregarurumon, a werewolf like hero with commando training who uses powerful claw attacks to rip his enemies apart as well a powerful kick knock as Engetsurugi or "Circle Moon Kick". The best kick in the game for me is Dragon Kick so I got that one for the Stun and the Dragon Rush buff. Here's the build.

I prob wouldn't normally take an Ult that eats your form stacks, but Final Punch is fun and fine enough to stick in there for the theme, since you have most of the core powers otherwise anyways. Anyways, here's an edit of it:

Travel Powers
Level 6: Acrobatics (Rank 2, Rank 3)

Warden: Fortified Gear (2/3)
Warden: Slaughter (2/3)
Warden: Ruthless (2/2)
Warden: Elusive (2/2)
Warden: The Best Defense (2/3)
Protector: Fortified Gear (3/3)
Protector: Beacon of Hope (1/3)
Protector: Unrelenting (1/2)
Protector: Bulwark (2/2)
Protector: Defensive Expertise (3/3)
Mastery: Warden Mastery (1/1)

I figured Challenge should go on Slash, if you're using it more. I changed the specs to be more defensive for a tank, but you can change them back if you want. I may also move a rank from the ult into the AD, but it's up to you.

Still waiting for Unarmed to get a kick version of DU and BCF for pure single-target dps, but DK works alright atm.

Just some minor tweaks to the 2nd build:

Got you a r1 threat wipe so you have adv points for R2 Resurgence (Cower or Smoke Bomb can be a melee/AoE one at r1, if you don't mind the longer cds). I assume the basic rotation here is to alternate between VF and DK or TB (rolling Rush for TB's heavy cost). Also tweaked the specs a bit. I'd also get some extra cost discount on gear, and skip severity rating on gear w/ Dex Mastery.
