My upgrade path, just to have it out there, granted I never purchased the DarkLight body/helm (ugly ass thing anyways).
I spent my Myth on the Valor body and then the Valor helm to replace my Hoplite, that was the best upgrade path for me.
Rest of my gear is Darklight with 1 hoplite ring.
My next upgrades will probably be my +1 Shield and Hero Ring, not sure which order yet.
My FC should be starting Turn 1 this week (I hope) and I'm not placing my bets on RNG.
