There's no reason not to kill the boss, it gives you some good bonus chests and stuff.

If just unlocking level 5 gives you the bonus then you can skip the whole level and not just the boss. Less energy used to get your bonus up.

Probably the main thing thats relevant is new heroes, much easier progression in terms of gathering mats and things to boost level, and labyrinth shits gold now.

So all up it's less grindy

New patch should be out from now till mid April. 7*s and new market, buying stuff like 3* fusion/refined stones for courage. With us merging we're easily 2nd guild on server now. We miss you!

What happens in the course of duty is up to you...
For the millionth time, are there going to be new 7*s from what people have seen, or are we only upgrading the current heroes to 7*? As upgrading them sounds way less fun. Being able to buy 3* stones would be nice, I upgraded my king's wand to an ancient wand as I'm closing in on a second holy wand. Gonna get that Zodiac someday.

Unfortunately not new. It's starting out with tanks like ethnia drog with starters in the patch after. We have 1 reliable dude on our server playing cpk giving us updates on stuff who I trust. There's also new hero gate stuff with tons more evo hero mats. Not sure which patch tho.
15 minutes a day to play is well worth the device space and how zq can screw up now and then =D

Hmmm, pinks seem more difficult than spin tickets. Even with tower tasks the summon vouchers really eat up diamonds. Maskes will come with time of course, naturally I just used one to up my Candy Can.

Once you get up to the 100+ normal Lab you'll get a lot more free summon tickets and money for star chests = more summon tickets. I usually do a 11x summon every day.

I'm at over 6500 pink gems with nothing to use them on. Guess I'll get Oct but still late game is p nuts. Spending 600 spin vouchers on gold a day fueling gearing up. All Kings is tier 9 and up.

Heard for Zodiac you might need tier 12 Ancient along with the 3 tier 5 Holy. Hoping that's not true.

Yeah I mean I had to get a bunch of heroes when I came back and I'm at 4/6 awakened spin heroes, down to dual Ethnia's to awaken and then my pinks are just being saved up for... whenever they bring in new heroes worth a drat. Either pinks for albums, or new 7*s for actual fun.

And I'm pretty close to two holy wands, and have an ancient wand, so if I'm somehow closer than you, I'll let you know =-p

When I first heard about Ancient I did a wand to test it out. It's at tier 3 so I can see in a day or so if getting it to tier 5 will work with combining. I get a blank pop up when I try and combine so maybe it'll say something when the criteria is met :shrug:

Is there a way to awaken a card through some mechanic? Also, the Awoken card is Agrila and stastically she kicks my 5* tanks rear end. Should I put her back in, because right now I have Hanada, King Brogar and Estine on the front row with Talia and Traxus on the back row. She has a higher "score" than any of the front row tanks I have in now.

It's a little confusing, first off as you saw you can get some cards already 'awakened', and the process to get that S on them is actually hidden in the Fortify screen under Adv. Functions, then Fuse Hero. So you'll read it referred to as awakening but that's what we're talking about. Basically you take one hero card and feed it a bunch of same-star-level other cards, but instead of just leveling it up it uses Fusion Stones to combine into that 'awakened' state. On the right side of the screen when you pick the feeders you'll see a percent change of success, and feeding the hero a duplicate of the same hero card will increase that the most. The appropriate star-level Maske card will also get a bonus. Once you have enough cards you don't want to bring that up to 100 percent (tweak it so you don't waste any) you have to come up with three Fusion Stones of the same star rating as the hero to pay for that fusion as well. If you got all that you can hit the button and you get your boosted hero. It eats the material cards up but doesn't transfer any of their XP, but the card you boosted keeps its levels and so forth.

On the Fortify screen there is a tab for Adv. Functions (can't remember when it becomes available) and the first option "Fuse Hero". It requires other heroes of the same star level to be sacrificed. Generally it's 6 heroes to get to 100% and then also a payment of Fusion Stones equal to the star level of the hero you are awakening. Generally it's not something to worry about until you start getting lots of 6 star heroes. In almost all cases a 6 Star unawakened hero is better than an awakened 5 star hero.

Ok, so I am definitely "into" this game. I just feel like I'm trying to get better now as I hit 75 this morning. I kind of feel like I may be leaving something behind or making some dumb mistake, so I'll share my current lineup and then also the other 5 star characters I have.

Current Lineup
Shi Fu --
Tarxus Brogar
Talia Estine

5* available
Hanada
Hanzen
Nexara

I know that Nexara combos with Hanzen, so that is interesting to me.

Anyways, would love any thoughts or comments.

I don't even know if combos work properly. Get rid of brogar though, he's a suicidal tank whose crit ability makes him die quicker. Check the wiki for stats but tarxus is fine to stick with, her crit isn't super strong but it does hit all enemies which synergises pretty well with shifu.

Looks ok, but replace brogar :)

Honestly all 5* bad and meant to replace ASAP. However the best 5* warriors are sir rogas and allon. Sir rogas healing earns you a ton of money from the lab. Allon has a team wide stun. Honestly those are the only two things you are looking for in warriors. And the worst warriors are those that protect an entire line, those warrior lose half their defense when they do that. All other warriors are basically the same so don't worry about which one to use.

And because it's team wide, the land rate is vastly below single target stunners. Get a pair of Rogas' until you can get some Chiron and then Ethnias is pretty much the ideal. Though prioritize an Eliza from spin tickets first and possibly second. Probably a Brend second just so you can be using separate 6* materials, depending on your progress with 6* replacements.

Thanks for the advice (and everyone above as well. So, for Sir Rogas, apparently I'm only 4 of his items away from being able to make one.
