 Might & Magic: Elemental Guardians just released in the United States on June 1st on Android and iOS devices. It's a brand new monster summoning game from Ubisoft that plays pretty similarly to Summoners War. You summon monsters of different rarities, level them up, and then use them to farm equipment in dungeons and beat up on other people in PvP. The combat is turn-based with a set of three unique skills on every creature, similar to Pokemon. If you're not familiar with Summoners War, or you would rather watch a video instead of reading the OP, check out this great introductory video by ChildishPlays. Why play a Summoners War clone instead of the real thing? This game has some key improvements over Summoners War that make it superior. Funnily enough, most of the improvements come from things this game does not have:
 Here is some generic advice for those just starting out with the game:
  The goon guild is: Fancy Cat Wizards Come join us in the #othermobilegames channel in the SA Summoners War discord if you want to chat with goons! You should also probably join the Official Discord for the game because that is the main place where you can get quick answers to questions and get in contact with the devs. I should also note that some of the main third party devs from Summoners War are making resources for this game. Porksmash has already made MM-EG.FARM and Xzandro is working on a glyph optimizer. Soon you will have all the third party support of Summoners War, but without all of Com2us' bad design decisions!TL;DR: The game is great and you should play it. It's a nice change of pace from the other gacha mobile games and has an incredibly high level of polish not typical of mobile games developed by smaller companies.

So far this game seems pretty good and I'm glad there are no violent runes, looks like I got really lucky with my air ebon knight pull too.

Yeah, Air Ebon Knight is just about the best 4* you can hope for to speed up your progression in glyph dungeons. Eventually, with good runes, he can solo Wrath 10, which means you can level fodder while farming runes (slowly). Congrats.

Created a guild for goons, Fancy Cat Wizards. Feel free to apply if you want to do quests together and complain about your glyph drops.

How important is the tier list on pulls? I just hit level 20 and have 3 natural 3 stars, feels decent enough for the moment. Also, evolution, something to wait for and use on the expensive 3 stars or use on cheaper stuff too?

Evolution is something you want to use on creatures that will be a part of your main dungeon team. If you need more guidance on that, ask in the SA Summoners War discord (we have a channel there) or check out that sticky post on the subreddit that I put together.

Just started playing and am enjoying this quite a lot. Applied to the guild as NikRamius, so if you see that request let me in. Still not 100% sure on just what I should be building team wise and am just playing around with some team compositions. I do have a question regarding the gold coins, though. Should I be using them for anything in particular, or is saving up the 900 or so for the big pull pack available in the shop the best plan?

You definitely want to be saving them for the 950 seal pack to pull creatures. You'll want to put all your resources into summoning until you get a decent core team that you can use for the Wrath dungeon. Check out the sticky post I made on Reddit for more detailed information on team comps and mechanics: https://www.reddit.com/r/MMElementalGuardians/comments/8ua8tr/read_me_super_sticky_for_new_players/ Edit: I also added links to the OP for the SA discord for this game and the official discord. You should join those. I also copied in the generic tips to the OP since they probably ought to be here too. CompeAnansi fucked around with this message at 00:45 on Jul 17, 2018 |

I beat the water island in the tutorial, and it started feeling pretty samey. Does the actual gameplay start getting more complex later on or is it mostly about setting up the right team and hitting auto battle?

Like the game it's based on, the ideal situation is to be in hit auto and let it go since that's going to be faster than manually making decisions. Tower is going to take manual play at multiple boss levels, but if you have to manually farm a Glyph dungeon a million times you're going to want to kill yourself. So if you can't just auto, you'll want to go back down a few levels rather than manually play it unless you really enjoy that for some reason. If crafting good and/or interesting teams for the various dungeons doesn't sound interesting for you, then this isn't really the game for you.

Also, like with Summoners War, the main place you will be manual-ing is in PvP. Currently, that is just arena, but they are planning on adding in guild PvP. On average, the AI is pretty dumb, so in high-risk situations, you should be manual-ing. That said, if you really, really like manual-ing, there is nothing to stop you from doing that everywhere. The only reason people ever auto is out of laziness, not necessity.

Thanks, I never played summoner's war as crazy as I guess that is. I like idle games though, just needed the right mindset.

Is there any place where I can see which ability version is better when I evolve something? As a beginner it's sometimes hard to judge. E.g.: Air golem, Petrifying blow or stone blow?

Nearly every event in this game seems designed to make you spend currency. It's putting me off hardcore and I think I'm done playing this game.

I think this is just them swinging too far in the other direction. The early events were quite generous with no spending. They realized they were too generous and now went too far in the making them hard direction. We'll see if they correct them again.
