do you know when we get the wharf and guild shop and stuff like that? Or are those things that will be added later? I don't know what they do but it seems like we should have gotten some by now.

I don't have the faintest idea. I can't find any indicator in the UI about it. There's no info on them anywhere. I swear I saw a very brief mention of guild treasure maps or something when I first started, but that could've been a crazy fever dream.

I googled it and read that they are having issues with the app upgrades being approved by Apple and a lot of people were upset. Supposedly the guild buildings will come in future updates. Supposedly.

For anyone debating who to purple first, Djinni has a bit of interesting text. Most heroes only have a small buff when they have a passive at purple, but she's a bit different:

Grants divine guardianship to the magic lamp to expand the healing of Djinni Prayer to all and will increase healing amounts.

It's a pretty huge boost.

That's pretty sick. I guess I'll pick her up, she's only 6 days worth of points. I got my Zweihander today and, while I haven't used him yet, my concern is he's going to be pretty 'meh' unless I specifically need him to eat a single huge hit to clear a campaign stage or a trial.

Wish I had grabbed Nightblade or whatever, dude chews through my teams if I can't handle him ASAP in some capacity. The 70 piece archer from the Arena.

I've been underwhelmed by the two 5k gem pulls I've done, and you get a free rare pull once per day, so I'm upgrading all my training slots to at least green next. It looks like it scales linearly too, so 1k gets you a 20% bonus, another 2k gets you 40% more.

Most of my gems go into 3 stamina restores a day and I've popped the occasional angel chest int he tower. Seem to get a lot of Amora pieces in the 10-20 range, and then the L70 pieces in the 20+ range. Could be bias though. If I was higher in Arena I'd probably be buying us feasts as well.

The 5k pulls kinda suck, though. I think doing one is worth it, but afterward just the standard freebie.

I unlocked Athena by doing angel chest opens. I think that's the single best use of diamonds. Stamina restores also seem to be significantly more cost effective than buying items for diamonds from the shop.

Isn't she in the level 70 tier? I mean cool if you get her before you're able to 2* anything else but is she that much better than the angels who give you double-triple stat bonuses at 2-3 stars?

It seems like most of the arena heroes are actually pretty useful, so go for what you need.

Djinni - seems like a decent healer, I wouldn't take her though. I didn't really have a need for a healer until I was mid 50s, and by then I had gotten lucky and pulled a Lunar Priestess from the free pull.
Zweihander - if you need a tank then he's a good choice. He was pretty tough to fight against early on, but at the point I'm at he's nothing special. His damage isn't that great. He's just mildly annoying because he can increase his health. I don't have him yet, but it seems like Dark Paladin, Earthshaker, and Rose Knight are better choices.
Grimbow - Attacks reasonably fast and he crits a lot. He's basically the green ranger or whatever that starter hero is, but better damage and his active hits the back row instead of the front, which I find more useful because they're generally softer targets/obnoxious support characters.
Night Sentinal - seems to attack slightly faster than most archers. Good damage, and his active is a decent single target nuke.

I went for Grimbow first for no particular reason. He's been useful in arena, and especially good for angel trial as well. On the lower levels of angel trial I can generally wipe out the entire back row just using his active up until level 20 or so. If I could re-do it I'd maybe take Night Sentinal instead.

For angel points, I ended up getting Lunaria to 3*.. I have Amora at 2* already just from chests, so I'm probably going to pump her to 3* and then just save until I can get Athena or Mikaela or one of the high level angels. I'd recommend getting Nyssa to 3 stars if you have her, then just save for one of the higher tier angels.

He's probably the best tank in the game. He can take a ton of punishment, he hits pretty hard, and he has a stun. His active doesn't do a lot of damage but it hits an entire row without giving them any rage. Being able to resurrect once per battle is also a huge plus.

The biggest downside is that he's a major pain to level up. You can only reliably get shards from the luxury feast. You can get odd ones here and there from random pulls, difficult events, and the shops, but it's not very often that they pop up.

I'm not actually sure what I need!

I currently have:

Rose Knight 2*
Mermaid 1*
Green Ranger 1*
Pyrawhatever 1*
Demon Huntress 2*
Nether Knight 1*
Atlanta 2*

So I have a healer in Mermaid, a tank in Nether Knight, some front line damage in the other two, and two archers plus Pyra who seems pretty crazy good.

Pyrona and Atalanta are just overall strong heroes IMO, and Rose Knight is also solid for a starter. It helps that the game shits pieces of them at you relentlessly, so getting them 3* isn't hard.

You should get a werewolf dude soon for free who wrecks face. He's amazing, don't neglect him.

That's a fair consideration. That stun is incredibly clutch and 3* is more than good enough for me right now.

Nether knight when I have fought against him was very hard to kill. His ability to turn damage a against him to health was annoying as hell. There are better healers than mermaid imo.

People say bigger is better.

But for the first time in my life, I think I've gone too far.
I managed to get Lunaria from the event and Trial chests. So I get to choose between her and Glacia, now. Just need trial and error to see if I need more healing or debuffs for specific fights.

Hint: you can always use more healing, except for the very top of Arena. Healing lets you get to the top of the top of the Angel Trial, which gives you a ton of gold, fodder and coins.

Yeah a healing angel is clutch, Lunaria is really good early on for healing your front line and keeping the tanks up in addition to a regular healer if you have one. Her single target heal isn't noticeably better than the front line heal, but it's good "oh poo poo" button for getting 3 stars on tougher levels if someone is about to die. Up until where I am the vast majority of teams will use Nyssa, she's basically a slightly better version of Lunaria. I've seen a few teams use Styx if they have a good healer (Lunar Priestess especially) because her actives damage the other team, and she actually hits pretty hard. A healing angel is definitely the better choice for angel trials though.

So I found this website for generating codes http://angelmobile.gtarcade.com/mobile. I messed around with it a little bit so not sure if there is a limit. I could get codes using http://www.throwawaymail.com/ and they worked though one said it was already used. Got lucky and hit a supreme gift which was 200 diamonds 100k gold and some exp pots.

e:I think you can only redeem each gift pack once after messing around with it a bit more. Still free stuff.
