Goon server is full and I missed the little sentence that said " after your first fight ". Guess I'm playing solo until server migration goes live.

I clicked on the "full" server and was able to switch to it. So unless you're getting an error message, I think you're still OK. (I double-checked my server before this post and I see myself on 47 and my original character on server 7X)

I thought I had done that but I just tried again and it worked. Thanks!

So I've already hit a bit of a wall which is a little suprising given that you guys said you should be able to hit hero level 35 in about a day. Granted I haven't been playing an entire day but I've hit hero level 14 and have stopped making progress on the regular and elite campaign stuff. Do I really need to start grinding levels already? I have been pretty good about adding points to my character's skills. Everyone is green+1 except lightning master who is 1 item away.

Do you have a full team of 5 yet? You should be able to have Leaves' Shadow, Admiral, Chaplain, Lightning Master and Embermage by now, plus whoever your initial Gold Chest roll was if you've accumulated enough Gems to do it. Normally 1x rolls are bad, but it's a pretty huge power spike for not that large of an investment.

Yeah I have the full team of 5. I did not do the gold chest roll yet, guess i should do that.

e: 72 gems short.

My advice would be to just re-do old stages for any gear slots you can fill out, then. Keeping your main team fully up-to-date is really important, especially before you unlock the Blue/Purple stuff. Also, make sure you're using EXP Potions / Salves to keep them at max possible level.

There aren't many slots I can go back to fill. I went back to try but nothing dropped. I managed to get a few more encounters done. I must be doing something wrong because I don't think I should be stuck this early on.

Game looks interesting. I'll bite.

Is it recommended to restart the game in order to get a certain type of unit? Or can I just roll with what I pull and go from there.

Everyone gets the same starting 5

At what video level do you have to start more closely managing your level ups vs stamina remaining?

What do guys prioritize when raising character skills?
Is there a call on the characters skills?

So I just hit 30 and was wondering if anyone wanted to effort post on crusades. I did read this guide http://www.urgametips.com/2014/10/heroes-charge-how-to-complete-crusade.html but I only have 6 heroes right now.

Niton posted:

Cleric is a front-line support, and definitely not a primary tank, despite any misgivings I may have had in the past - If you have another frontline unit, he can be a great support, but you need someone with good bulk & offense like Iron Hoof or Savage One for that.

I've gotten him up to blue and he is one piece of gear away from +1. Admiral is also one upgrade away from +1. What's the next best tank to be going after in the near term. Obviously Death Knight it huge but hes a long way off.

My crusade store has the following tokens right now:

Vanguard Warrior
Frost Mage
Commando
Rifleman
Phoenix
Mystic
Wind Master
Pilot

Are any of these worth dropping 500 points on? Current heroes I have are starting 5 plus Professional Killer, Cleric, and Embersword.

Man, the gold chest isn't bad at all when you're starting out. I just got a Phoenix from a 10-pull and a Sniper, but I already had him, so I'm almost halfway to a rank-up.

I did a 10x pull and the only hero I got was 1x Commando token. :argh:

I bought commando from the crusades store. She is really good. I've been running her, leaves shadow, and pro killer in the back and with cleric and lightning master up front I've Bern wedding stuff pretty consistently. Still haven't been able to get past stage 10 on crusade yet. I think I'm holding ultis too long.

Need some advice on my lowbie arena team. Shadow Leaf, Commando, and Pro Killer are all in. Remaining are the 4 other starters plus Emberblade and Cleric. Everyone is either Blue or Blue+1. Any recommendations on filling it out?

DemonMage posted:

Ember Blade and Chaplain are both super solid.

I'm not sure what to think of Chaplain in Arena. Damage piles up so quick that her healing doesn't seem to mitigate it all that much. On the other hand Convert is a nice skill but the duration seems pretty short.

And whoever posted heroes love shoes love shoes wasn't kidding, I keep having to go and run that instance constantly. :negative:

For lower-level teams, I think Admiral is actually a pretty decent choice, at least until mid-50s or so. I had her in both my arena and PvE teams until I got War Chief to purple and she did quite well. The rest of your team is pretty squishy, and I don't really like Cleric for the arena, since he can be shut down by control/stuns too easily, so Admiral might be a good option for now. I'm not sure how tanky Emberblade is though, I haven't used him at all yet.

Emberblade holds up surprisingly well thanks to his magic shield and his green skill. With Commando's buffs he hits pretty hard for a frontline hero. So far I'm pretty happy with him, Lightning Master, Commando, Leaves Shadow, and Pro Killer as my arena comp.

Would it be better to buy tokens to 2 star commando or maybe pick up phoenix or one of the other heroes in the crusade store?

vulturesrow

Just got my first full crusade clear. I now have 2390 crusade points. That is enough to buy Phoenix and get myself 4 soul stones away from 2*-ing commando. Seems like the best use of points, but is there a case to be made for purchasing another 10 token hero? The other ones that are 10 are mystic, pilot, and rifleman I believe.

All 3 are useful when you hit 55. Mystic is probably the best because he's one of the key heroes in a heavy magic team which is useful for both Arena, Crusade, and 1 of the portals (and can help support some other portals due to his purple skill). Rifleman and Pilot are both good for some of the portals, useful in all physical teams, and are good for guild raids (Rifleman especially).

You were supposed to make my decision easier. ;) Thanks for the insight though. Who would you take first? Would you take Mystic over Phoenix?

Commando and Phoenix are both significantly better than the other 3. As far as they go:

  • Pilot is alright but completely unessential for anything i've seen, though he's a good pickup for Northern Dragon if you're not going to get Old Curse any time soon.
  • Rifleman is interesting but only really good for a couple of specific things, and there are replacements for him for that.
  • Mystic is only good at really high levels, but he has good utility for Grand Arena and magic damage teams.

Yeah I'm definitely using some of the points to get commando to 2*. Thanks for the help.

As luck would have it my first chest pull today gave me a Phoenix! Second pull gave me a Mystic piece. I think the game is trying to tell me something....Wondering if i should use all my Crusade points on Commando now our picking up Mystic...

It's it still the consensus that DK is the best first use of Arena points? Is he all-around good because I mostly see people talking about him in the context of crusades.

First Arena purchase should be Old Curse.

Awesome Control character and a good dps. 3000 coins is a resonable price for how important he is.

DK is considered great for crusades but all guilds have players who puts a DK up for everyone.
Don't buy a DK, our guild has 2 different levels of DK up.

Funny, OC is exactly who I was thinking of when I wrote that post.

e: Just got War Chief and got him up to blue +1. How should I prioritize his skillups?

Yea, someone in the guild has a low level Cloud Walker that I used for the Crusade last night, it let me push through all 15 battles on my first time in there. Really showed me how much I need to pull a tank that isn't Admiral. Picked up Commando though who is as insane as everyone has said.

In the guild as Cairo right now, but will be renaming once the cooldown is up to Cinara SA

Admiral really is a lovely tank. Cleric is the next best for a quick upgrade and then war chief.
