Are you playing on iOS? From what I can tell, sounds like the Droid version is somewhat more stable.

Anyway, managed to finish a couple fights by force-quitting & restarting the app, then going straight to the boss fight.

I don't have any of the premium units but the Korean tier list has lilith, sneak, hikari, nightingale, Cain and No. 9 as top tier units.

I like Leon for PvE. He has a ton of health and does high single target damage. My archer can kill the dude in the back if the there is more than one boss.

I liked Leon till I reached Hard mode, since the ones that wipe you are the high dps mobs at the back. Like the Jellyfish and the Flaming trees, you need to take care of them pretty fast cause their damage is pretty hard to outheal unless you have a Nightingale or an Alexander to tank it. Replacing Leon with something like Susano who hits the backline made it so much simpler.

The Christmas heroes are stupidly OP. When I run into a party of them, I just chalk it up as a loss. How do 3 star heroes roll a party of maxed 4 and 5 star heroes?

Christmas Teams had 3* HP pools so you want to just burst them out on the first skill. Leon is also terrible against them, since he just gets stunned and pushed back, while being unable to take out the Green elf at the back (who is the majority of the damage). I had pretty good success on running an Archer that hits all 3 (Gipang in my case) as leader and just blowing up the green elf and your frontline can mop up the other two.

You won't ever stop seeing them even up to Masters cause they are so easy to put together and bring pretty solid results. I've even lost to a team of 3 Green elves with 6* weapons in a party with all 6*s :negative:. Once they go off, they sorta just stun lock you to death. But once you get your 6* guys leveled Christmas teams sorta become free wins because their stats are so low.

It's the stun locking of the stupid archer that makes the team so good.

It is stupid though, they should really nerf the teams.

The archer is definitely the best but the team only works until you're facing 6* in which case you'll get rolled on. The Christmas units are pretty much 5* units in terms of utility but with 3* stats.

I like them a lot given that they were farmable and free which is pretty good for a game like this.

Got my World Boss team up and running, and it can solo the hardest difficulty almost 95% of the time (sometimes really really bad RNG will screw me).

Only issue with the team is that, it does low damage that you want to partner up with the most lovely person you can find. I just carried a guy queuing with a 3* Leon in Ultimate Kranus (somehow) and he got a 6* sword and I got 2 gold bags. I can't imagine it not being patched out but it is pretty funny team. The boss just sits there getting pounded for 5 minutes straight and dies without doing a single thing.

:negative:

If anyone wants help with the World Boss I can probably help out, if you whisper me in game. I have no idea how waiting room or messaging in the game works though.

I might take you up on that in 20 minutes. I need to beat the mid range level first and will be bringing in 2 5* and 1 4*.

I can swap out the 4* mage for a 4* sasquatch in the mid 20's if you want some more stun.

If you've recharged later and no one else takes you up on an offer hit me up for the Tier 3 boss. I think I can DPS him down quick as long as he's stunned.

Sure. Though I haven't noticed any better drops in T3 vs T2 so might be better to keep running T2s for 6*s. I'm not completely sure though.

Pretty funny I got out dps'd by bunch of 4*s, but hey it gets the job done. Boss got one attack in the whole time.

I'm not in the Line group either, though it looked pretty barren when I checked last time. Maybe someone can make a goon group?

Should I be rolling for heroes? Class specific or random? 'Cause Yeewooleo or whatever is doing fine in the healing department, I feel like rolling random healers isn't helping, but they are cheaper.

The Gachapon isn't that great at dishing out 4*+ heroes so you're probably better off spending it on expanding your hero cache as time goes on. More or less sit on the diamonds until:

1. You need to expand a certain storage and can't be bothered to sell anything
2. Meat
3. A hero gachapon sale happens and you give in to your base instincts and OMG PULL THAT LEVER GET GOOD DUDES.

Pulls and Storage space would be the choice then. Most premium only guys are all pretty decent with couple really good ones. Healer wise Nightengale would be the best possible pull.

I would say yeah he's not worth 6*ing, but out of sword dudes only Joan and Susano is the outstanding ones. Sword skills are in general worse than the Paladin ones, as well. Good Paladins would be Alexander, Cain (gacha only) and Kriemhild (dungeon only).

This is interesting. I've been feeding 4* Leon a lot of bread to promote it to 5, should I cut my losses and stop, opting to promote some paladins? 'Cause on the other hand, it seems like promoting random 3* paladins to 4* is a lost cause when the only good one is Alexander. On the other hand, based on what you say, melee characters all seem to be pretty crap, but I need someone on the front line right?

Or maybe I shouldn't be worrying about this right now.

I feel like I hit a scaling wall, the next story mission has level 41 bosses but my 4* characters top out at level 40. Been grinding away at coins and bread to promote them.

Honestly, 5* Leon is my bread and butter at this point. I know his range isn't the best but you can belt out 1000% Damage with a few well timed blocks.

Perhaps get him to 5* and just keep him there while you level others, or max him at 4* and start boosting others. While he might not scale very well into the end game I'm still able to get to Gold in PVP/Cleared the game on Normal/Kill the first Raid boss.

Promoting it to 5* is probably okay just to make progression, but 6* leap is a huge investment of gold and bread (almost 80k gold I think?) so might be better saving for better units. Also don't worry about Mob levels, hard volcano dudes are like level 90. Melee units are also great just the difference between good ones and bad ones are sort of a big gap. Leon does poo poo ton of damage but his range limits him to being lackluster in practice compared to his potential, for example when he hits all 3 in PvP with his passive he blows people up, just most of the time you only end up hitting 1 or 2 guys only.

I don't think Leon is bad, he's still a heavy hitter at 6* and he's free. He just doesn't have good synergy with other units and his attack animation sucks.

At what level do you guys start grinding the world boss? I can never seem to get a weapon to drop so I've just been leveling my dudes since weapons don't seem to give a noticeable advantage.

Soon as you can basically. Weapons with good conversions make a huge difference. For example the 5* Sword/Bow with 3 Attack conversions can get you something like 30~75%+ Hero Atk power and even 1 armour/resist pen can make you deal full damage to targets in Arenas.

Rolled 3 Crit power mods on my bow for Gipang and his crit went from 2700 to 4700.

To expand on that my 5* sword on Leon has
Hero ATK Power +6%
Critical Damage +86.25%
Resist Penetration +95

and he can crit for 5.4k.

I'm not sure the Resist Pen is doing anything for me though. I think Armor pen would make more sense.

Avoid buying anything from Popo that isn't a Christmas cake or a Colosseum Ticket (if you can get 7-10 wins), its all so over priced and easier to get else where. Especially weapons/heroes.
