Suck it
Two tears in a bucket
And then another thing
I'm not the one they'll try their luck with
Hit hard like brass knuckles
See your face through the turnbuckle dude
I got no love for you
So I'm slogging my way through the tutorial. Not sure what I'm learning though, it's just a bunch of "click here! Ok now click here! Now here!!"

I don't know how to describe it, but I don't like games that have this kind of presentation style. Like all the cheap f2p games kind of look the same, in the art style & the tool tips and such.

The games that have gotten their hooks into me, P&D and Marvel Puzzle Quest, look unique. I wonder if that's part of the reason?

In as WedgieSA and I added a bunch of people. This game certainly has a lot of random places to earn free currencies.

Couple of questions!

- Should I just be dumping all of my 1 and 2 star cards into my main hero? How about weapons? Just do whatever early, or save all of the cards for 4 star items?

- Are there specific times/events when it's best to use spin vouchers or pal points for summons?

- Does the Magic House just add all of it's attributes to your party?


-Early on, yes. Once you hit PLvl 60 though, you unlock the Adv. Functions option which lets you refine those useless 1 and 2 star cards into fusion stones (which you'll need a hell of a lot of). I'd say you can use anything to level a hero up to about 20 or 30, then you should only be using chest monsters to offset the gold costs. Same principle goes for gear.

-Not really. Spin vouchers you have two options with: hold on to them until a Destiny Spin event comes around (10 vouchers = 1 spin on that) or just use them outright. If you're lucky, you can get pieces for a 6* hero on Destiny Spin, but there are are two 5* heroes, Maximus and Vrezh, on the normal spin. Neither one is really THAT great, but would be a boon for any early-game player. As far as pal points go, I would use them until you get enough 3* heroes to start you off, and then hoard the hell out of them until you hit 60 and then use the resulting summons for fusion stone fodder.

-The Magic House options apply to all members in your party, as far as I can tell. I would work on maximizing Energy first (more energy = more Tower runs), then ATK or HP, then DEF, then anything else that you prefer.

Hope that helps.

This is going to sound needlessly complicated and someone can correct me if they have had a better (and easier) method, but fortify your chest monster and pearl cards. They give more hero/gear xp than regular cards and once they reach level 10 the xp they give is doubled. What I do is bank the pearl/chest monster cards and then use them all at once in the hope that the random fortify multipliers happen. Mingus Dew covered what you should do post-Lv60 and by that point you should be getting enough chest monsters, King CMs, pearls and big pearls to cover you so that you can spare all the other cards for fusion stones.

Voodoo posted:

The game seems to reward max spins and max summons, so save them up to do 11x or 100x. It's probably the same yield as doing it one at a time but it feels more satisfying and you get a small discount.

Hang on to your tickets for now. In the next update (later this month) they're making Special Summon a permanent feature.

It might behoove one of us to write a new player guide, but in the mean time the PK wiki will have a ton of info that you'll find useful. As a newbie, your goals should be threefold:

1 - Round out your team (starter + Agrila) with at least another 3* hero (if you use the VIP strategy mentioned in the OP, Azalea isn't a bad third)

2 - Unlock facilities by leveling up. The most important ones are the Event Hall (for all the login gifts and events and such), the Magic House (allows you to spend Honor to increase your team's stats), and the Tower (experience and courage ahoy!)

3 - Start your starter on the path to evolution. Ideally, you'll want to get them as high leveled as quickly as possible, as once you have access to Fusion Stones at lv60 you can evolve them into 4*, 5*, and 6* heroes.

You get gold, diamonds, star chests and XP roughly equal to what you got for clearing it. In earlier stages it's worth the trouble but in later towers where it's 20 energy per cost, it starts to become more of a chore.

I am really bad at upgrading my gear and heroes - and my Talia needs 4 star crystals of two types, and the darker green Dungeon Crystals... well I barely have 1 3 star and a handful of 1 stars. Is there some quick way to get these?

My team is kinda lovely, but I got Azalea and at level 50 threw a 3 star goblin guy (Strakos?) into it.



I'm not very good at this game, and keep spending all my gold on buying pearls and chests to upgrade my gear/heroes, but there's just so much to upgrade. Six items for each four heroes for twenty four items and four heroes....

Dont use your gold on that stuff. You should be doing the tower as much as possible and then using the courage from that to do the event tower. Also start trying to unlock and complete some elite dungeons. Soon you'll have more upgrade fodder than you know what to do with.

I've done every elite dungeon besides Desert using friends, but I barely ever get upgrade fodder from that or the tower (or event tower). Though I'm only on tower 11 so maybe it gets more common.

Make sure all the towers you've done so far were done through level 5. Check the spine of the book and see what it says on earlier ones. Someone had to explain this to me so I apologize if you've already done that.

I don't spend money on pearls or chest unless it is for a quest. Star chest is usually the best thing to spend money on. They cost half as much as the pearl and chest exp. It gives a ton of crystal, stones, prestige, and chest/pearls. If you get lucky you can get diamonds, booster stones, and 4* equipment plans.

Edit: I forgot star chest can drop summon vouchers. It is the only to get summon voucher via gold.

Don't worry I got all the way to floor 21 before figuring that one out. On the plus I can say the rewards are still lovely. Though I got a few 3 stars heroes on the later floors. Course by that time I already had a team of 5* heroes.

THey are not that great but the courage/energy ratio is a little better and you go through floors faster so more stuff faster. Its worth maxing them out I think.

So what do I do with <Insert Currency Here>?

  • Booster Gems: If you started with Rhee, you'll want to pick up Sir Rogas, who is a fantastic tank. If you started with Talia or Jansen, you'll want to pick up Nexara, who is widely considered to be the best 5* mage due to ease of acquisition and Leader Skill. After you get all of the 5* heroes you're interested in, switch to either Booster Treasure Chests or Evolution Material plans, as you see fit.
  • Courage Gems: All of the Courage Gem heroes are very good, but they're also incredibly expensive (40k for the 5*, 200k for the 6*). Allon is generally considered the most useful of the heroes, as he's a tank with the only full-formation stun in the entire game. Once you get him, though, you'll probably just want to buy Courage Treasure Chests for the loot inside.

Something about rankings makes me want to do the event more than any of the rewards. I enjoy numbers going up.

Are there any rewards for the lower rankings though, or is everything pre-top 10 (where I'd need a maxed out team and as many friends as possible) pointless?

The prizes loop so you get courage gems, booster gems, diamonds, the 3x damage to boss potion, gold and repeat. I'm always happy to get that courage gem bonus, because by that time I can have enough buy 3 pieces of a hero. But I'm have 159 pieces of Allon so I'm pretty close to getting him.
