When should I start worrying about the dungeons? I got smoked obviously when I tried when they were first unlocked, but i don't see a clear way to tell how difficult they are. Also I have no idea what's going on with all the bread and converting and leveling skills and whatever else

Edit ok, how do you sell heros? I go to the menu and just don't see a way to do it

Mine started crashing when I loaded levels so I deleted and redownloaded it, now it won't go past 'checking files' :(

I was really quite enjoying this game too, seems like the maintenance has really buggered it.

Based on my short experience I have a tip for new players: save honor and money for wen you start upgrading from 3-4 star heros. I just have people sitting at max 3 star and I'm nowhere close to upgrading them

What are the unit drop rates? Is it fixed or can I get multiples if I keep playing the same dungeon?

I seriously have no idea what I'm doing aside from beating things up with a swordsman, a very flaming looking paladin guy and an archer girl.

Good sources of honour early-game:
*Friendspam. With 50 friends, it's 150 honour/day (realistically 100).
*Selling heroes (click the "return" button in the hero screen)*.
*Quests (always abandon non-honour quests at the end of a play session)

Arena's also good, though, uh, you'll need some good heroes to get anywhere. And you get good heroes (mostly) from honour.

*Note that evolving a *1 -> *2 (or *2 -> *3) and then selling is not really a worthwhile source of honour (*1 sells for H20, *2 sells for H80, but costs H50).

You can get multiples and drop rates seem pretty good. Any regular dungeons with a recruit-able as a boss can be recruited from what I can gather.

One thing I learned is that the Christmas themed dudes are seriously overpowered for their stars. The Santa/Reindeer/Elf especially. Their passive is something along the lines of (If someone else gets 3 block combo) they either get a free 3-block attack or some skill proc. I've reached almost gold just running Elf/Gipang/Reindeer so far. The elf has a stun attack and Reindeer is better than my 5 star healer for some reason.

The Holiday Dungeon Holiday Dream for easy and Holiday Nightmare for hard. The dungeon gimmick is that one is immune to boys and the other is immune to girls, so just mix up the genders in your party. All hits are set to deal 1.2k if its the opposite gender so you want multi-hit characters and plenty of healing.

Drop rates in the easy ones seem about 20% or so

Its worth farming while you're leveling up your dudes. I've finished it a couple of times with 3 star guys by putting my healer as leader and just spamming 3 block heals non stop.

Well I managed to get Robin Hood twice from evolving two 3* Archers while trying to get Hanzo. :suicide:

I also got lucky after burning $10 getting a interesting 4* Healer named Yeowoodong. Now I'm trying to decide if I'm to stick with Robin Hood as my third hero or try to get a good wizard Hero after I promote Leon to 4*.

Anyways my name in game is Cobrey if anybody want to add to use my healer lady.

Hanzo really is great. Currently, I'm stuck on one of the deep sea levels, and the only way I'll be able to progress is after I promote my current team, which means I'm in grind mode at the moment for gold, bread, and honor. So for the time being, I figured I might as well try and raise some of the 1-3 star guys I have to get diamonds. This is where Hanzo really shines.

I try and find a level that Hanzo can comfortably solo by himself (usually one of the desert levels). Then, I add 2 random teammates that I want to level up, and start the fights. The two weaklings die within the first 2 rounds, while Hanzo effortlessly throws ninja star after ninja star, beating the whole stage by himself. This will usually get a level 1 hero immediately up to level 5, and then roughly 1 fight per level from there until I hit the cap.

Speaking of which, what's the best way to grind for gold for low-mid game? I know someone else mentioned once certain dungeons open up it will be easy and not to worry so much now, but.. I do need it now, thus the worry. I get my rear end stomped in dungeons it seems, so that is out of the question. Colleseum gave me some pretty good results, but you can only go so often. Besides selling off bread / weapons I don't need, I'm at a loss as to how else I can manage my time and money in this game. Any pointers from long time players? Also, where are some of the really good tier guys drops?

I feel like this game will inevitably have a google spreadsheet started as this is the kind of game that needs it. I'm too technologically inept, but any other goon wanna give it a shot? That way we can also start up a friend's list :)

edit: also, just realized we CAN choose chatrooms in the game, but they're numerical. I'll be in room 8008 if anyone else wants to join and test to see if this works.

Okay, how the hell do you beat these Christmas guys? The best team I can muster is a 3 star archer girl, 4 star Cain and 3 star Leon.

Can anyone give me advise in clearing Hard Mode Golem? I've failed it like 10 time now. My team is Gipang, Mew and Leon all at 5 stars. I can burn him down to 30% but after he goes immune to physical damage and starts healing up an insane amount. I feel like I should be able to clear with a full team of 5 stars but I keep falling short.

Another thing I found out. Re-running 1-4 for 1 stam and getting the travelling merchant to buy Christmas cake is one of the most gold/cake efficient way of training your dudes. Christmas cake is a 4* bread sold for 1.3k gold and the merchant carries from 1-3 every time you meet her in Forest normal. Regular 4* bread sells for something like 11k so its a steal.

The christmas gimmick is that they have a gender shield (All Hail the Singles - Immune to boys and All Hail the couples - Immune to girls) The shield makes it so they take flat damage from all sources of damage of the opposite gender something along the lines of 1.2k per hit registered. So multi-hits are the key to getting them down. It's usually men in the front lines and women at the back, so equip a male archer with fire arrows to melt the girl in the back lines and the damage should be manageable from just 1 guy hitting you.

Keep them if you want to make a build with multiples of that same unit. It's similar to pulling duplicates in Brave Frontier.

Hmm, which Goddess are you using? That might have a role to play in it. You can either use Bella to try and dps him down as fast as possible (maybe not too viable since you don't have 3 attacking chars), or play the long sustain game using Anut before the Golem uses the lazer/stun slam. I personally go the Anut route because it's the safest for me (I cleared using Leon, Nursespy, and Gipa). I also set healer as my main so I can get as many heal blocks as possible.

If anyone wants to add me my ign is "Sidonia", you can probably use my 6* maxed Leon to clear anything up to 3-x hardmode, provided there's a healer to back him up.

Is there a good way to get honor? I have a full 3* team but I don't have the honor to level them. I can only get one or two wins in the colosseum before I get matched up with 4/5* people and get destroyed.

One money tip I've found is to buy the Christmas cake every time you find popo. It gives 125 value and 25% rate for $1,300. The cost per training bread is high so you'll save money in the long run I think.

Collo is one of the best. Try a Christmas Elf/Snowman/Rudolph team. Give the Snowman the Atk boost skill and make him your leader. Everytime the snowman gets a 3 block, you get a free 3 block heal + 3 block stun attack from the elf. It's been competitive against full 5 stars.

I haven't been able to kill them but now that I know the strategy it might help. I was using a male paladin and female archer but it sounds like I need to swap genders.

Compared to the christmas snowman? I'm at ~lvl 25 4* and he's still significantly weaker than the snowman, but I'm pretty sure that's mostly the christmas units being stupidly powerful. On that note, I learned that you shouldn't sell dupe christmas units immediately because they're ridiculously easy to level and sell for 100 extra honor at max level
