Hope you can use this information to answer some questions...

Are these logical builds?
How can they be improved upon?
Does Slither need a ranged weapon? I think he does.
Does Slither need a melee weapon? I think not.

That's all I need to know, for now. Thank you.

As you get stronger weapons, you'll probably want to focus on ranged. Ranged weapons like bows can still fire in melee rounds, just with penalties. You're likely better off investing just in one weapon rather than two, even with the penalties. Huge, powerful weapons take a lot of money. They actually take so much money that you may also want to consider switching from two physical fighters down to just one.

only recomendation I have is either Phantom Link or Guardian Angel somewhere in your lineup. They are both too good not to have either. I also don't recommend both, doesn't work out that well.

Thanks for the input. I appreciate it. What about Slither? I'm pretty sure he doesn't need a melee weapon, but does he need a ranged weapon? Thanks, again.

Dispel Magic dispels your own EOs - i.e. if you train both Antimagic Field and Dispel Magic, it's going to dispel your own AMF.

You have no need to put a weapon on a minion training a Direct Damage spell, as the spells override the weapons, so putting a weapon on your Rune of Balrog Flame/Cone of Cold minion would do nothing.

Hello and welcome to CB! It looks like you're doing well, but here's my best advice for CB: focus. Too many minions, training too many things, can easily leave you weak to a lot of strategies. You might consider focusing on just one tank with bigger weapons than you could afford for two. Have him train nothing but hp, st, and dx. You could even have the second tank become an enchanter- if he casts a big Ethereal Chains or Ablative Shield it could be a good boost to your tank/team. Also, I wouldn't worry much about evasion on the mage- it's mainly to reduce extra hits on him. If they've already been able to kill your tank, it probably won't help much or at all on your mage. Pick either AMF or DM, since they don't work together, and run with it. Good luck!

Okay...Took everyone's advice into consideration, and used my limited knowledge of the game, and mixed it altogether, and I did alright. Thanks for all the help, everyone. Keep the advice coming. Thanks, again.

One more thing, if you want to change your main name to Soul Crusher, just click on "Settings" in the top left, then click on "Basic Information (update)." I believe you can only change it once every 30 days without paying a fee for an admin to do it for you.

Didn't even know that was an option. Thank you.

If you guys don't mind, could you take a look at my characters and see if you have any recommendations? I would really appreciate it. Thanks, in advance.
