Giving this a shot, in as DaveskiSA. I was really into Pocket Knights last year, and everything about this game seems like a better version of that. I'll apply to the guild when I'm 32 or whatever level it is.

Still having fun with this, bought a bunch of gems because I had a ton of app store credit burning a hole in my pocket. My only complaint is that you can run out of stuff to do fairly quickly, at least when compared with Pocket Knights. Maybe that will change as I level up and continue to unlock things, though.

I'm finding the Cleric (mine is 2-star, Blue+2) to be a great tank for Crusades, yesterday he lasted me through all 15 waves, and today to like 12 when some BS stun thing got him. I just unlocked War Chief too, but he hasn't impressed me yet. Better damage output but he seems to die really fast. Maybe I just need to pump up his life steal skill a lot more?

I use Lightning Master in crusades as one of the heroes I charge up and save for a tough wave. His high energy regen means he can usually get two ultimates off in one round. He's definitely not great, but mine is two stars and purple and he's okay as filler DPS for caves and the magic-only trial and such. I'm only two shards away from a 3-star Shadowleaf, and I'm spending all my crusade points right now on upgrading Commando (about a quarter of the way to 4-star). I'm running Shadowleaf/Commando/Succubus/Phoenix/War Chief for PvP right now and having a lot of success. The only hero that regularly gives me trouble is Death Mage, who seems ridiculously strong.

vulturesrow posted: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? 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.

Phoenix rules in arena/caves in my opinion, but yeah not so awesome for crusades just like q_k said. I usually charge her up in the first few rounds and then save her to kamikaze a tough wave later on. Commando is really awesome too though, I'm working on 4-starring mine now. Almost a necessity for PvP.

Just unlocked Grand Arena yesterday. Who would you guys suggest I focus on getting first - Death Mage or Iron Hoof? Both are very tempting, thinking of Iron Hoof only because I already have a handful of pieces for him...

I think every one of the top 10 arena players use him, he's really good. However from what I understand he doesn't really come into his own until like level 70 or so. Mine is only 57 I think and he's too squishy to be reliable right now.

Personally I'd stick with Commando for a while, she rules and is super useful in basically everything (PvP, crusades, etc). Mystic is good too but his buff is magic only, while Commando buffs both damage and agility for everyone on your team by quite a bit.

Echophonic posted:Maybe I'll just spend a day's worth of stamina and raid tickets on that mission. Nah, you'll always need shoes but they aren't exactly in short supply either. Just save them when they drop and don't use them for enchanting mats or whatever. Several missions drop them, and if you do run out it only takes 1 or 2 raids for them to drop anyway. They can show up in the shops for really cheap, too, and I always buy them when they do.

War Chief and Mystic are both top-tier heroes and definitely worth keeping leveled/evolved. Out of your list, Rifleman, Savage One, Vanguard Warrior, and Machinist are also very good, not as essential though. I personally like Cleric a lot too. Lightning Master sucks early on but would be good on a magic team once he is purple and above.

Honore_De_Balzac posted:I'm looking for a little advice on the general direction I should go with my team. Ice Mage is not very good IMO, she gets a little better with her purple skill but even then there are better choices. Personally I'd replace her with Depths Voice. I'm assuming you mean Death Mage on your team, if so I think that's a pretty solid line up for your level. Lightning Elemental is also really good, he especially owns in Crusade. Tusked Storm is also great for a lot of situations, his ult attack speed buff can make a big difference in tough fights. When you PvP I'd replace Chaplain with one of those two, healers are a waste in the arena. Out of the rest of your heroes, Vanguard Warrior is good and worth leveling up, and probably Admiral too for now since you don't have much in the way of tanks. The next heroes I'd recommend aiming for are Commando (from Crusades) and War Chief (Elite campaign levels). War Chief is easy to farm and one of the best tanks in the game, and Commando is just a crazy good support unit.

I wasn't a fan of Rifleman initially, but he is definitely a beast in certain situations. I think I'm gonna get him to 3* before working on Commando/Phoenix anymore (both just over 4*). Also, I've got a couple of lowbie heroes I haven't used or put any real XP into yet. Out of the following, anyone have suggestions on one or two to focus on? (I know some of these are good, but I have a lot of heroes and it's getting hard to spread out XP as it is) Vengeance Spirit Savage One Shadow Shaman Psychopath Mountain Sniper

EzEight posted:Vengeance spirit is an Endgame must have PVP and PVE, think Lunar guardian but better and with CC. Thanks, gonna start working on Vengeance Spirit then. I've almost unlocked Lunar Guardian too, hopefully it's not a waste to have both. And too bad about Ember Blade, but mine is already at 3* and some change so I may still evolve him to 4* after I unlock Cloud Walker. Too many good heroes from the Grand Arena shop.

EzEight posted:If you have Vengeance Spirit you should not get Lunar Guardian. Yeah... I have 75/80 shards for LG at this point, so I'm gonna unlock her anyway. Oh well, I'm sure I can use her in Grand Arena at least. commish posted:Apparently Ember's power doesn't scale well with increased *, meaning the difference between 3* and 4* is minimal, relatively speaking. If Ember Blade doesn't scale well then I guess I'll keep him at 3* for now, although with the extra login shards for the next two days it makes it even more tempting. He has great synergy with War Chief - the life steal combined with his invincible purple attack has turned the tide of many PvP battles for me. Still gonna finish Cloud Walker first and probably Iron Hoof too. Other commentary - I evolved Rifleman to 3* and he's a beast in raids and against any team that is tank-heavy. I didn't care for him so much early on, but with his purple skill he's pretty drat good physical DPS.

DontMindMe posted:By the way, hang onto your Staff of Wizardry pieces. At around level 80, there is an item that requires about 40 pieces to make it from scratch, and multiple characters need it. Whoops, wish I had known that earlier, I've been using them as enchant mats since I had so many. At least they have a good drop rate in general and drop from one of the trials. Hit the hero jackpot yesterday. Bought 10x gem chest, got Iron Hoof, Wandering Spear (I think that's his name), 30 Death Knight pieces, and a couple pieces for Shadowleaf. Also got Old Curse to 3* and unlocked Cloud Walker from the Grand Arena shop. So many heroes, so little XP...

Honore_De_Balzac posted:Is booty cave worth the time investment? Besides setting my guys up to mine it seems like a huge time sink with very little gain. I can see where turning gold into exp potions will be good, but is it worth it? I think it's worth it, although I don't feel obligated to grind through all my bread every day. I usually go for gold actually. Plus, free diamonds. I usually do it while watching TV or something, just start a battle I know I'll win and hit auto-fight.

Ember Blade works great with War Chief's life steal aura - usually after he does the teleport thing he's regained a big chunk of his HP too.DemonMage posted:Last time Daveski said Savage One and Vanguard Warrior are good, but not sure what I'd use them for specifically. Vanguard Warrior is always a huge joke when I see him in Crusade/Arena, basically a free win as the rest of their team dies as he comes out. He also mentioned Machinist who seems really high damage when I've fought him in PvE, but otherwise I have no idea what I'd use him for, I guess Lord of the Caves? Yeah I'm not as much of a fan of Vanguard Warrior now that I've picked up a bunch of other front line heroes, but he is very good vs outland Phoenix. And yeah, Machinist works great for Lord of the Caves, his ult is good for charging up and saving in Crusade, and he is great DPS for my Grand Arena team too. gey muckle mowser fucked around with this message at 13:42 on Mar 10, 2015 |

I have a stack of EXP items from my caves that I can use to juice some folks, if needed. I figured Succubus is probably worthwhile, as is Psychopath. I'll probably level up the latter and get some skill ups onto him. Old Curse is great for him too. I can beat the robot dude with just him and Succubus, plus Cleric/Chaplain (or whatever healers) to keep them alive and Commando for her buffs.

Zotix posted:I have to say the higher I get the more and more I feel commando is losing her luster. Even at 5* purple +1, full enchant, she does poop damage. Her haste buff largely goes to waste as most of the time is used just getting to middle, and is likely cancelled out by the enemy commando. Her stun on the tank is the only redeeming quality, and is it really that good? Her ult does garbo damage. Even her damage buff just doesn't seem to cut it. I feel putting in an actual damage dealer in her spot is a better option. The main reason she is really good is that her haste boost at the beginning of the battle lets your team fire off all their abilities before the other team can. That plus the initial tank stun gives you a huge advantage right out of the gate over a team without her. \/\/\/ Agility is attack, physical crit, and armor, I believe. gey muckle mowser fucked around with this message at 20:42 on Mar 11, 2015 |

HotBobaloo posted:So just opened my 2 day golden chest and got the Professional Killer. Seeing as how my luck in these types of games is terrible, I'm guessing he sucks. Should I at least replace my lightning master with him? I'm lvl 32 atm. Cleric is a great early tank for Crusades since he can heal and shield himself. Much better than Admiral in my opinion. He is vulnerable to getting stunlocked though - if he can't cast his skills he can go down quick. If you just pay attention and retreat if that happens, he works well. Professional Killer isn't the best, but he is probably better than Lightning Master at your level (LM sucks in general). I haven't used him myself though so maybe I'm wrong.

Tsurupettan posted:When should I stop investing in the lovely team members? My six units are all blue 35 on the cusp of blue+1. I'm just maxing chaplain skills now. At your level and with only a handful of units, it won't really be a waste to "invest" in any of them. You can't really waste skill points as long as you max out the good heroes first, and you'll need everyone to be at least decent (for trials and such) until you expand your roster a bit more. I'd say it's not really until the early 50's (when they start turning purple) that it becomes too expensive to level units you won't use long-term. The only suggestion I have is to avoid investing much in enchanting gear until later in the game - it's a cash sink and that cash is wasted every time you promote. It won't hurt to spend a little and enchant to the first level on green/blue gear, especially on your tank/healer, but maxing stuff out is a waste of gold for very little return.

Dreylad posted:Lightning Elemental is kinda poo poo. Lightning Elemental isn't top tier, but I like him for Crusades and for PvE versus physical immune enemies. His ult hits everyone pretty hard, and if you time it right and take out multiple enemies at once he'll get enough energy back to recast it quickly. He also works as a psuedo-tank for the magic-only trial. I got some lucky drops for him and mine is 4*, but he's probably not really worth farming when there are better heroes to spend your stamina on.

With hard mode crusade you get 2,600 coins per day, spending 120 on refreshing 4x a day isn't a big deal.

milward posted:I finally got Commando fom the Crusade, and I also got the Lightning Spirit from the daily check in. Out of what you have, Shadowleaf, Commando, and Chaplain are all top-tier and are worth investing in for the long term. Shadowleaf's most important skills are her ice arrow and her silence. Commando's is the haste/damage buff (her green skill). Chaplain is her ult heal and her charm. Don't waste points on her Pilum attack. I also like Lightning Elemental for Crusades and for PvE, focus on his ult. Cleric and Shallows Keeper are both decent tanks and you'll probably need both of them for Crusades, although try to unlock War Chief ASAP. At level 73 I still use Shallows Keeper as my third tank for Grand Arena and for the first couple waves in Crusades, so I think he's worth investing in.

Personally I think Shallows Keeper is the third best tank in the game, after Iron Hoof and War Chief. His purple skill gives him a huge armor boost, and his ult is useful for interrupting the enemy team, in particular stopping Phoenix's laser beam. He's probably better than pre-purple War Chief.

He is decent enough early on, but is squishy as hell. He gets stronger at higher levels though, and he is pretty much required if you want to compete in the absolute very highest tiers of PvP. If you look at the arena rankings, every single team in the top 50 uses him. For most folks though, I'd say he is really good from like level 70+ but not essential.
