You will need to be level 50 before you can make someone purple, if that puts it into perspective on when you will be doing these things.

Pyrona sucks at higher levels imo

Her CC is essential for dealing with obnoxious tanks like Nether Knight, and a crit from her active is virtually guaranteed to be an instant kill.

People say bigger is better.

But for the first time in my life, I think I've gone too far.
I'm using her and Blue Witch right now, and when all of their skills go off, they can just shutdown half the enemy team.

Worked for me on the boss in the Hero trial just a bit ago. Oh well, maybe it's some other factor then.

e: my first Purple+1 was Grimbow. Good decision. My second purple+1 is Djinni. Also a great decision. Her P+1 items are fantastic. At Purple she has 378 rage regen. At Purple+1 she gets a Dragonsoul Ball and Heart of Fury. Now she has 553 rage regen. :swoon:

So when it comes to the colours is the whole +1/whatever thing that I am currently doing via equipment is that necessary to get purple at 40?
IE do I have to be +1/2/3(whatever the numbers go to) and THAN purple. Or am I just buffing my guys while waiting for 40 so I can get purple?

edit: NM found a picture on the facebook page that shows it.

So curious to hear if I'm "doing things right"

So I login to do my dailies. Blow through those quickly while trying to make sure I also do all my arena matches each day with a somewhat tanked defense so I stop getting people WAY higher lvl than me popping up. Do angel trial as high as i can
I than hop over to elite where I do a bunch of stages wherein I need pieces to get myself new heroes. Sure I'm not guaranteed a shard every day but so far so good I grab at least one. Sure that means some heroes are pretty far off for me but I am mainly looking at guys with a cost of 10 to 30. I do NOT blitz these as I want the xp as I am still trying to level.

When I do regular I just push through as much content as I can until I get bored or I hit a wall. At which point I level up skills/gear to try and get past it. If not repeat cycle tomorrow while making sure I do all my quest. Hop into Guild hall to boost and thats about it


This goes surprisingly quickly


Am I missing anything?

You still get XP for blitz. Your heroes don't, but the amount of xp is so negligible it doesn't matter.

I got everyone in-thread who applied, plus some guys who had SA in their names and didn't post. We're full again, a slot should open in 1-2 days next time we rank up.

Also, to get a L70 angel to 3* immediately takes 15,600. This isn't too bad, just saving up from finishing Amora I am going to be well past that by the time I hit 70. The tiers after it are the troublesome ones, since 4* is 80 and I assume 5* is 120, which is 19,200 and 28,800 respectively. No idea what 6* and 7* cost.

I mention this because I've been considering buying purple recipes and items from Angel Trial, but knowing how much it'll take for the angels is dissuading me a bit.

Once you get to the 60s it takes forever to level too. From 63-67.5 I've saved about 21k angel points. The annoying part is going to be using gems to refresh the angel store once i hit 70, I think.

Also at 65 the hero trial gets you the super XP potions that are 7500 each. I'm going to stockpile them and hopefully get Athena up pretty quickly.

Do the purple items in them change, or just better exp pots? Between the sheer length of time it takes to go from 60-70, with Hero trial rewards and excess stamina spending, I feel like my main crew is going to be all Purple+1 and ready to go right to Purple+2 the day I hit 71.

Ya it seems like the items update based on your level, but to be honest I haven't been paying much attention.

I think it's worth buying uncombined items from the Angel Shop, but not fully combined ones. They're usually fairly cheap - less than 5 level 70 soulstones - and there's so many things to farm with Stamina that it's not wasteful at all.

I rebooted the app and don't have them. But they appear on my Nexus 7 (linked to same account). Although on that device, my Djinni is missing an item that I put on her on my Nexus 5. Weird game sync poo poo. :v:

I got all my heroes to blue, whatever is after +1 green and drat that makes a big difference in everything
Got to floor 15 or 16 angel trials, not high to you guys, which feels good
8 pieces until I have werewolf and I can farm the pieces on top of getting them from daily too
Pretty pleased with that and a few days from getting to do the 5k summon, grabbed the vip monthly pass

Shits getting real
When does arena reset?

Arena rewards and store update at 9 server.

As for the excess pieces thing, I guess that might be in this update we're supposed to get once the apple store stops being poo poo. I dunno.

So after pulling 2 star guardian from my free summons I just got 2 star blue witch

Is she worth leveling and gearing up?
Should I basically level every hero I get 2 star and above for reasons?
Ie work them to blue and eventually purple or should I focus on a core team of 5 people?

I think it's worth keeping 8-10 heroes and 2 angels at the max level you can, so you have a diverse crew for all three trials, the arena, and normal/elite missions

I would break it down like this:

angels
1 healer, 1 damage or control

heroes
2-4 healers/support
2-4 damage dealers
2-4 beefy tanks

like right now, my go to team for the angel trial is hecate and berserker as tanks, and pyrona, astral child, and djinni for back row support and damage. But sometimes I need to kill everything fast at the higher levels, so I keep grimbow and green ranger charged up for those. The hero trials are similar because they give the chosen type bonuses for all stats. you don't want to have your team stacked 100% towards that type even with the bonuses, however.

as for leveling them, choose your favorite 2* heroes for now, and you'll soon recognize who you should focus on getting to 3* as you progress

Alright thanks again for the advice

I've hit a really annoying part, mainly because I am like 403 crystals away from being able to do the 10 summons thing........
I don't have poo poo to do after the daily. I blew through most of my bread/energy that I have so I can't farm gear/shards for heroes from Normal/Elite and my god does energy seem to regen extremely slow.

Arena NO ONE is attacking my tank team to knock me down any so now, although I'm only 36 and somehow rank 4087, all of my opponents I can choose from are 44+
I can not beat any of them as none of them have remotely tanked teams. So this means I am unable to get Djinni shards so I am stuck at 16 of 30.
What am I missing here?
I need my 5 wins a day so that every 2 days I can buy a stack of shards. That should put me about 6, more, days away from getting her at which point I'll reach for Grimbow most likely.

Yet it seems by playing in the Arena I am WAY too high ranked to make any more progress. I'm basically praying for a weekly reset to come and save me from this cycle I'm stuck in. Loosing doesn't even seem to knock me back down any spots either so everyone just stays too high lvl for me to deal with

in non whiney news I realized I had a old gift debit card lying around and decided I'd spend the 5 bucks to get my summons now

Ended up with:
1 Star: Byron the Black
1 Star: Shadowraith
2 Star: Berserker Claw(Well grabbing the crystals let me finish a daily to be able to unlock him)
3 Star: Nereida

Berserker + Nereida seem really drat strong. Trying to rush both to blue, still not 40, as they both seem highly desirable.
Berserker as a damage stun monster
Nereida seems like a really good back row attacker who also brings a stun

Byron also seems to have potential if I can get him to at least 2 Star Plus as a straight damage dealer and Wraith doesn't seem too shabby either

if you feel you're too high up in the arena you can tank your rating by putting up one lovely hero and one lovely angel on defense, so you at least get the 180 arena points for the 10 win points, plus the dailies for 5/10 points

lunaria 2* until you hit 40, then take nyssa to 3* ASAP. try djinni, pyrona, berserker, rose knight, and atalanta for a good early comp

I'd do Glacea for the pre-40 for her silence, but once you hit 40 Nyssa is easily the best for a while with her heal and +rage. For the comp, swap out Rose Knight or Berserker depending on who your 3* from the first 10x pull is. Djinni is the best easy-to-get healer, Pyrona is one dead enemy no questions asked (polymorph is a kinda stun too), and Atalanta is just damage (and true warriors should wear ponytails).

I really like the background music, especially on the main screen. I only actually listened to it by accident since most phonegames put no effort into that sort of thing.

Yeah, he takes hits better. Does less damage (though the stun active and rosemary are nice for sure), but I think you need to have someone in the team to soak big damage.
