So saving up armors to go on a fusion frenzy as soon as a Heroic mode is announced is a viable strategy to get decent stat armors if you can't grind 16 crystals.
(It might be harder for dual element Heroic, since odds of monos from fusion are relatively high. Because of that it's probably best to check stat points of any dual element fusion results to see if there are good odds of the armor being in a future Heroic event. I guess just below 4k combined stats on non-plus is good odds of a future heroic armor.)
