Unlike Pocket Knights:
You may also notice that this is suspiciously similar to DOTA characters/gear/abilities. That is because it apparently did blatantly use DOTA designs in the past, and then redesigned them later on. Some of that is still lingering (Death Knight's ability set is the exact same as Abaddon's ability set from DOTA). The in-game currency is diamonds. If you are a F2P player, avoid the gold chest (it isn't worth the risk of getting absolute crap). Save diamonds for stamina and doing "Midas Touch" once a day for the daily quest. Just open the gold chest for free every few days (the first free gold chest appears to guarantee a 3* hero). I'm in as DontMindMe.

Some other things to note: -All heroes can be upgraded to max. From what I can tell, heroes start at 1*-3*, and can then be evolved up to 5*. Because of this, some of the starting heroes are top-tier heroes, or outright essential in some of the modes. -Always do dailies. They provide the majority of your account experience. -Arena has its own store to spend tokens, which are rewarded daily based on arena rank. Death Knight and Old Curse appear to be the ones you want to aim for first. Death Knight is essential for Crusade (but not very good in arena), and Old Curse is great in arena. -Crusade also has its own tokens/store. Get Commander from here and get her to 5* ASAP. Amazing support hero. EDIT: Phoenix (Who was added to crusade recently) is also a decent choice. DontMindMe fucked around with this message at 19:04 on Jan 30, 2015 |

Dreylad posted:Decided to give this game a go out of boredom, although I'm guessing we're the only ones playing it. Nice! I had almost given up on the thread. Let me know what 3* you get on your first gold chest (or let me know if you don't get one. It seems like it is guaranteed 3*). Also some more random info: Heroes that start at 1* require 10 hero shards to unlock them. Those that start at 2* require 30, and those that start a 3* require 80. Once you have the hero, you need hero shards to evolve them. 1* --> 2* = 20 hero shards 2* --> 3* = 50 hero shards 3* --> 4* = 100 hero shards 4* --> 5* = 150 hero shards You can get hero shards in various ways: 1. Completing elite stages. The shard each stage drops is usually the boss's. The icon will display on the level if you three star the stage (to get 3 stars, do not let any of your heroes die during the fight). 2. Completing Crusade stages (some of the chests drop them) 3. From the various store (Merchant, Goblin, Black Market, Crusade, Arena, and Guild store). I am not sure if spending diamonds on hero shards is worth it. The shards worth gold are usually worth it though. 4. Events

I've been throwing diamonds at shards in store because I haven't seen many other uses for them so far. My first 3* hero was Wind Master, which was pretty nice as she's able to dish out a ton of damage, and seems to have easier (earlier accessible) items than the rest of my heroes so I've already got her to rare+1. Still, I'm wondering if it would have been better to get another front line tank as Admiral really can't hold the line. edit: oh i'm in as Urgoon Dreylad fucked around with this message at 04:37 on Dec 29, 2014 |

Ah, yeah, Wind Master is nice to have. Admiral does have difficulty holding the front line. Don't neglect her once you find a replacement though, because she is needed for one of the Trials (female-only team) since she is the only female tank. A nice replacement is War Chief, which can be acquired from elite stages. He becomes amazing once promoted to Purple rank due to the ability he gains (especially in Arena). May take awhile to get him though, since you need 30 shards.

DontMindMe posted:Ah, yeah, Wind Master is nice to have. Yeah I joined a random guild since there are a few perks, like hiring a mercenary for crussade another tank which helped me get to wave 7 or so at level 34. Good to know about Admiral being the only female tank -- I might try to focus on collecting more shards to evolve her. I think Crusade must have level brackets (30-34/35-39?) though, because today at team level 36 I had to go up against level 39 waves which meant I didn't get past wave two. So much for my crusade points today. Sad thing is I almost have enough to buy 5 death knight or commando shards. Maybe it's just bad luck, I'm not quite sure but stalling out on Crusade early sucks. It's a great way to get a ton of money and loot. Getting points in Arena is slow. I'm now sub-10k rank but every other person is much higher level than me now. The major bottleneck (besides team xp of course) is getting items -- having to run the same instance for blades of tyr chews up stamina, but the only other way to get them is rank 2 trials which are way out of my reach right now. Is it worth spending gold on 10x chests? I haven't bothered, mainly focusing on upgrading skills, enchants where I think it will help, and merchant items.

By the way, new heroes were recently added/going to be added, so maybe there is/will be a new female tank soon. Also, you can retreat from crusade fights with no repercussions. You can redo fights over and over until you get the optimal outcome. All my gold has been going towards skills. 10x chest can be useful if your lucky, skills come first in my opinion.

Wow, I didn't know about being able to retreat from Crusade fights, I never thought to try. I don't think I would have done any better. Fighting teams 3 levels higher than you is going to be rough no matter what.

It did save me recently where poor luck resulted in my recruited Death Knight dying the very first match. A retry resulted in everyone living with full health and meter.

Yeah, my first go my admiral died pretty early on and I managed to limp to wave 3, would have helped to know that! Getting a bigger hero pool will help. I need to work on that, but it's slow going. Got all 6 of my heroes to rare+1 now so I should be able to make some decent progress into chapter 6 and hopefully open up some more elite instances as I go.

Admiral isn't the best tank, but I believe she is the only female tank, which is needed for one of the Trials (female-only team). I stopped using Emberstar and Lightning Master, but that is only because I have a bunch of other heroes to choose from now.

You eventually get a series of quests to run each of the first 20 elite instances twice, which all told will give you enough shards to upgrade Shadowleaf, so it's always good to keep her up to par. Depending on your luck it might be a while before you get another tank, so Admiral is also a priority. Beyond that, any 3 star heroes you get from the big chest should help. Also I need to get into Allstars or another bigger guild. The guild I'm in is alright but being able to hire a Death Knight seems to be the key for crusade. edit: sweet got Commando

I just started and the game progression looks to be pretty smooth. Got lucky with my first free gold chest and pulled a Machinist, so that's made the first 3 chapters fairly easy, although I've been neglecting the Chaplain in favour of damage output so far. Picked up the Wind Master with the free diamond chest, not sure who who I'm going to swap her in with - either Machinist or Lightning Master. I can see myself playing this for a month or so, will probably spend a few bucks for the premium pass.

So, I might have just hosed up good. Started this game and really was enjoying it. Figured I'd live up to my porpoise gender and be a miniature whale - dropped five bucks to take advantage of the weird promotion that ends today. Unfortunately, I was on the wrong server, and now I can't find any way to get my gem things or my free ice wizard thing on the goony one.  If I want to play with goons, am I out the five bucks?If nobody knows a way off the top of their head, I'll see if support can do anything for me.

The ice mage is a "new server opening" event, so I don't think they will let you transfer that. The only event going on in the goon server is the "login Jan 1-3 for stuff" one. See what support says. Beyond that you may be out 5 bucks  .Should I fix the OP to make it more obvious that the goon server isn't the default one?

The default server changes every few days. I got chucked on server 47 and have a decent enough guild. A few people have death knights listed as mercenaries. If I had known there was a group presence sooner I would have moved but I have too much progress now to swap.

Dreylad posted:DontMindMe, I've "applied" to Allstars, not sure if you're still in but if I can get in maybe we can stage a goon takeover. Until we get our own guild up anyway. You can assign heroes to work in the cavern in order to get diamonds (appears to be 1 per hour) and Gold/EXP Potions. Once you setup a cave, you can invite others to also work in the same cave. This adds additional defenses, because an enemy needs to defeat all workers before they can steal resources. Any heroes you currently have in the guild mercenary camp cannot be used in cave, and vice versa. Heroes assigned to either can still be used everywhere else (Arena, Campaign, Crusade, etc.). EDIT: You can also attack other peoples caves. Gold is used to find caves, and then bread is used to actually attack them. You get bread over time, or after each attack on your cave (check the Logs).

Apparently they added in a minimal VIP limit (I think I slipped in before that went into affect) and a level limit (I'd assume it is 46 for guild raid, but it seems like they keep increasing it). Goon takeover does not seem likely.
