Oh that makes sense. I was thinking I was missing an opportunity at another crystal sink or something. That said it'd be awesome if there were guild perks at some point.

Apologies for the double post.

I've run into a bit of a brick wall. I'm trying to unlock Carrot but the hard mode of her level is pretty dang tough. My guys are level 23, 1 star, with 1 star equipment. Is it worth it using gold to enhance lovely 1 star normal weapons and armour? I havent modified or leveled anyone's skills yet.

PhrenzZ
Dec 26, 2012
Definitely! You'll get TONS of gold later on, probably more than you'll feasibly be able to spend if you're not meticulously keeping your gear up to date. Enhancing gear makes an enormous difference, a +10 sword is several times stronger than a +0 sword.

That said, enhancing gear past a certain point does get significantly more expensive and difficult. I generally get all my gear up to +7 (or just +5 if it's green/+3 if it's grey) then don't stress about it much unless I need that boost to get past a hard stage.

Leveling skills can also make a big difference - Kai's skills are all really cheap to level up and you can probably auto-battle his stage even early in Tezen. It's worth grinding genes for him so you can max out his skills, since he's a character you'll likely be using for a very long time.

EDIT: Did a few pulls this week to try to get Beast Rain. Ended up getting 3 pieces... all the accessory. Taught me to just invest my crystals in lord masteries and never touch the capsule roulette again.

I'm two heroes away from having 5 of each type at 5 stars. Got the compensation capsule this morning and pulled a Friday the 13th Set from it (sword/boots/necklace, +5% crit damage/kill, +5% HP/kill). I previously had one piece of this, so I can split it up for +Crit damage, or take the heal on kill for one character.

Options:
Jack (Currently has White Knight's Oath +31% Aggro, +HP to everybody)
Alfred
Jenny
Gillan (Currently 2 parts of Hellish Flame's Guide for +19 MP regen when HP below 30%)
Chenny
Unknown (Currently 2 parts of Ultimate Weapon Gold Tiger for +80% attack when the last one standing)
Mu
Deborah
Persona
Chris (Currently 2 parts of White Knight's Oath for +31% aggro)
Elektra
Dominique
Tao
Cleo (will hit 5* tomorrow)
Poni (Will hit 5* sometime next week)

I'm currently leaning toward Jenny, Chenny, or Dominique for it. Jenny will get quite a bit of use out of the crit damage, and Dominique and Chenny are both pretty killy.

Speaking of sets, I have some, and I'm still trying to figure out if my placement is anything like optimal.

1*
Ketarh Apprentice 3(Alfred) (+24 MP, +3 MP Regen) (Area only)
Ketarh Apprentice 3(Jenny)
Slime King's Dignity 2 (Gillan) (+1000 defense at <40% HP)
Super Ranger Yellow 2 (Chenny) (+60 dodge/turn)
Cold-Hearted Sniper 2 (Unknown) (+380 Attack) (Attack Type only)
Rebel Army Supply 3 (Mu) (+4% HP, +5% direction strategy) (Paper only)
Ketarh Apprentice 3 (Deborah)
Born Assassin 3 (Persona) (+634 Attack, +800 Crit Rate)
Rebel Army Supply 2 (Chris) (+4% HP) (Paper only)
Born Assassin 2 (Tao) (+634 Attack)
Super Ranger Yellow 2 (Cleo) (+60 dodge/turn)
Ketarh Apprentice 2(Moa)
Witch's Tools 2 (Kitty) (+8 MP Regen)

2*
Nepthys Adventurer 3 (Jenny) (+1460 HP all allies, +350 Attack all allies) (Nepthys only)

3*
Rebel Army Commander 2 (Jack) (+3064 HP all allies)
Wild Chaser 2 (Alfred) (Water terrain favored)
Tiger Claw Tribe Guardian 3 (Gillan) (+1500 defense, +1500 Dodge while HP <50%)
Sweet & Scary Chocolate Warrior 3 (Unknown) (+760 Crit Rate, +1154 Attack)
Shadow Corps 2 (Deborah) (+150 Crit rate to all allies)
Black Crescent (Tao) (+1044 Attack, +7% Advantage strat) (Attack type only)

4*
Ketarh's Secret 2 (Alfred) (+6 MP regen) (Area type only)

5*
Detailed above

Chenny is amazing, I'd use her, her first skill even means that she is good against scissors bosses. The word on the street is that Jenny is pretty awesome though from this last patch, I can't make her that way because I don't have the gear options you do.

I don't know if the heal on kill is really worth much. 5% of 60k hp is only 3k.

Well, I went ahead and put it on chenny, I hope maybe it triggers once for each enemy killed, which would make it significantly better. I'll take what I can get, though. If that sucks, maybe I'll move it over to Dominique, at worst, the 5% will hopefully negate half the downside of her third skill.

I can't seem to find the guild "Lowtaxtics" if that's the one everyone is in. Is it full? If so I'll have to look around then. Also thanks for the previous advice, enhancing and refining my poo poo tier weapons and rebirthing my characters definitely made things easier. Managed to recruit Carrot! Right now my party is Chris, Kai, Sraka and Carrot.

Are any of the IAP packs worth it?

Are there any trap decisions with the heroes (like they are completely lovely later and unusable) or are they generally all acceptable and worth investing in?

Coocoo's Gift ($3 first time, renewable monthly for $5) is good if you're willing to spend cash at all. Most other IAP stuff isn't worth it, except for the occasional holiday package, unless you're a filthy moneyhaver and can afford to blow a hundred bucks here and there.

All heroes are pretty usable PvE, PVP is harder. Once you get through Vulcan, be absolutely certain to get Jack, keep him leveled, and max him out, starting with his third skill. He is basically essential for a lot of poo poo, because his third skill deals absurd damage to any boss that isn't immune (which is almost none of them.)

Added you (ign: miyori). Join an active guild ASAP for the free energy and gold every day.

Aside from the starter+extension package NinjaDebugger mentioned, IAP packs are terrible value. They are also incredibly generous with free IAP stuff (from daily logins, daily quests, expeditions, and the new Tower of Dawn).

The only necessary heroes are Jack from Vulcan and arguably Serendi from Foose.

The 2 star set is pretty crappy. I'd just buy the daily items, the devil's souls, and the 3* set if you have extra chocolate (but don't sweat it if you don't).

I'm up to Company, I've got every hero up through Mas. I've been using Chris, Sraka, Carrot, Alfred and Deborah. Holy poo poo I love all of the AOE from the latter three. Alfred was kinda lame until his 2* ability and the game has been relentlessly dumping his pieces on me, too. Should I be distributing them evenly across him, or just maxing his 2nd or 3rd skill?

Don't blow crystals on unimportant stuff, don't blow a huge amount on low level rolls, keep re-upping Coocoo's Gift. And, since I'm a filthy moneyhaver, I've done some of the holiday packs. I got a fair number of random set pieces from black capsule login events and tower of dawn, and you can use those to buy when to drop crystals on black capsule events from the store. If you've got one piece each of the A, S, and SS for a level, it's a real good time to roll the dice a time or three.

I'm currently saving up for a splurge on the fives, thinking maybe I'll wait for Ultimate Weapon Gold Tiger to come around, preferably with Klein's Secret Notebook or Omniscient and Omnipotent at SS, unless I see a confluence of Dasomier Battle Suit + Wilderness Desperado at 3. If I can manage Ultimate Weapon Gold Tiger + Wilderness Desperado on a single character, I may end up with somebody who can just solo DB.

The %hp damage should work, but the boss is paper (30% less dmg from rock), its defense is quite high (40%), and it takes less damage from melee attacks. An armor debuffer and Lena should help. I've made Lena my merc--make sure she's attacking from a flank (side or back) for extra damage.

I'm up to Vulcan, so I expect to get Jack in a few days. Should I be saving all of my Perfect Genes for him? I've been stockpiling red cats and rebirth materials for him already. The 3* chocolate set looks like it might be good for him too? I expect him to replace Sraka in my current lineup.

Dimensional Breakthrough reminds me of the daily gauntlet thing in Heroes Charge and similar games. I assume raising Mas would be good for it since he heals?

Should I be focusing on Deborah's fire rain first?

Don't ever spend Perfect Genes on a hero with farmable genes (except Lena).

Mas is fine, but you may want to wait for Gillan (in the zone after Jack).

Any combination of 2nd (cross) and 3rd (square) Deb abilities is fine.
