The gold skills are useless for generating gold, but are great at gem switching.

Exactly! I had a great system going where I could use Alchemist/Valkyrie/Banshee to generate gold/souls and switch orbs to fuel each other, along with Finley to generate even more gold and take skulls off of the board. Once I got things going, I could generate practically infinite turns!

So I guess there's also a limit of 40 souls per battle, too? Man, this game won't let me exploit anything! :argh:

(On the plus side, I'm getting 1-2 treasure maps per battle, thanks to all the orb-changing.)

I'm having a hard time figuring out what to actually do. I've been doing quests but they seem largely useless outside of actually leveling up your guy. You barely break even with alchemist gold wise. It doesn't seem to yield anything else that is useful.

My team currently is my hero, Tao, druid alchemist. I've completed the first zone, and I'm a little ways into Adana. I think I could swap out druid for another utility to make my team synergize better. But I'm just having a hard time figuring out what to do in game to make progress.

The new zones are bad for making money, arena and PvP are the good ways to advance until you get a better gold base and team combos that can pump out the money

Do arena until you got an entire team of 10+ units. Then pvp.

Big thanks to the guys and gals in gem blossums helping out with invites and all that. I login each day and throw gold at tasks and try to do some arena
Not much time for much else with working 70 plus hours a week right now
So thanks again. I also keep spending my tokens on rewards and I'm pretty sure others can too

This is the best advice in the thread. Regardless of what the OP says, your best bet for gold early on when you have poo poo units that have no levels is to do the one activity where that doesn't matter.

Drafting purely off the tier list that got posted and covering as many colors as I can, I got 8 wins consistently unless I got lazy or impatient. Even then I've never not broken even and walked out with less than one key for my troubles.

Do arena. Do it.

Couple of quick questions:

- I'm active each day and would love an invite: ENDYMION_1

- I pulled a Raven and he owns pretty hard. Here's my current team:

- Hero (6AR/11hp) - Hunter's Spear - Yellow - thinking of changing weapon to guardian halberd (3-9 damage to random enemy)
- War Sphinx (4 AR/7hp/4 ATK) - The Riddle (jumbles board, extra turn) - Blue/Purple
- Druid (3 AR/6hp/2atk) - Thorn Whip (3 damage to 2 random enemies, 1 damage to adjacent enemies) - Green/Blue
- Wolf Knight (3AR/4hp/4atk) - Hunt (2 true damage, +3 if enemy wounded) - Black/Yellow

What should I look to improve in that group?

When one of us have a spot we'll try to grab you. Join pug guild until then

I would recommend leveling druid until you get someone better. His 12 damage, when leveled, is huge early on. I wish I had one sooner and still might put souls in him as only high armor teams seem to really hamper him some

Always try to druid then wolf knight for added damage

Rock worm can do some dumb stuff in the arena sometimes. My rock worm killed three enemy troops including the hero all in one combo today at the arena.

Rock Worm is a drat champ. So far my only arena loss was because of one that just kept comboing himself until it ate my whole team.

Also built an Arena dream team today. Banshee, Valkyrie, Druid. I don't think I lost a single character through the whole thing. I also highly recommend the Staff of Madness from the Glory shop for anyone starting out and can afford it. It's been doing some drat work for me.

Let me tell you of the world I used to know
Just won a defense (a revenge? I guess) against a guy 40 levels above me (29 vs 69) playing with a full deck of legendaries. No idea why he would even attack me.

One of my crappy, underleveled cards? Rock Worm. Well, Frost Giant did most of the heavy lifting, but still.

The other stone thing has been pretty awesome for me so far in arenas. I put my hero in the second slot and by the time my first slot is dead my hero's boosted a bunch of his stats. also fuels blue dudes.

I just used that stone and bounced between the warlock (the guy that generates 7 blues and adds 1 to magic) and my hero for 10 minutes, letting the random skulls match and do their thing. Turns out, 19 magic is the max apparently. But turning 3/4 of the board blue then Brown while denying turns was pretty hysterical.

You need a troop at 15 to rank up your Kingdom. The only reason I know of to have multiples of a troop is to have them defend multiple kingdoms for pvp (attach them to multiple banners).

Ranking up kingdoms helps with getting tributes and increased stat bonuses if you have that kingdom selected.

Feb 13, 2012

Ah yes. If you raise a unit to max level (15) it increases the rank of its home kingdom. You do not need 15 copies.

You only have to defend your home kingdom, and I'm pretty sure you can use the same troop for multiple banners. The banners just let you make a bunch of different teams that give bonuses to troops from their kingdom.

Ranking up a kingdom gives you a bonus when invade or defend there. I have +1 armor to my whole team on two kingdoms.

This is different than the banner or mana bonus,
