How does fusing work and when should I do it?

You get two units of the same rarity to level 30 and rank them up to +5, then you can fuse them together to get a random unit of the next higher rank. so two 3*s make a 4*, 4 to 5, 5 to 6.

i do it basically all the time. you never want to fuse 2* units, 1/2* are fodder. Some people endlessly fuse 3* units trying at a shot at the rare 4 lords or 7 knights units, since they all start at base 4*. i primarily use my 3* as fodder for 5/6* units, trying to fuse more 6* or rank my useful 6* up to +5. it costs more gold to fuse up a 6* from a 3*, it costs more elementals to fuse up good 4*s and then rank them up to 6*

edit: if you just need more 5 and 6* units its probably a better use of resources to just fuse them up and hope you get good ones, but if you're looking for specific units its probably better to make a bunch of 4*s and rank up from there.

So if I intend to fuse a unit it's not worth putting items on it, right?

When we have a reliable group of people who can clear Castle Rush on S-Rank, as well as preferably formidable enough to plow through Guild War. Right now I can pull 2mil pretty regularly on an Easy CR but I've yet to try the Normal. Also someone would need to step up and be Guild Leader, cause it sure as hell won't be me.

Edit: Actually, to add to that, we also frankly need a lot of people who we know are sticking around. As far as I can tell Guild Size is capped at 30 and gives rewards for things like Daily Check in and overall participation. If we start a Guild now and half the people drop out in a week it'll be more than a little frustrating.

Fair enough.

Also, lol the knight I got is the one that didn't get a buff.

Edit: Maybe instead of a guild we could have a Discord?

It helps to note that he is getting a buff still, it'll just be when they finish reworking the Freeze status because they felt he was otherwise on point.

That's pretty cool. I'm still in the early game so even if he hasn't gotten a buff he's still really cool to have. I just need an elemental thing to get him to 5*.

What's the issue with freeze exactly? Yeah, you can't target frozen dudes, but it seems like an effective way to take 'don't take damage for x turns' characters out of the equation until their ability wears off.

It's a dice roll in an already random game.

The answer is always Shane. If you've got a Shane get a May. If you've got those get a Velkia, Lina, or Karon.

If you've got all those then get more Shanes.

What about Aragon? And May? Are they good?

Also, the castle screen can scroll. Go to the right and get those last few fights in.

Any new Goon wanting free 5* heroes needs to add Agoat to their friends list.

Can I get some input on my team? This is for Arena.

Spike (6*)
My first 7k, he does good damage and can freeze. I use him primarily to hit people, often 5 at the same time.

Shayne (6*) (32)
Also hits people. Hard.

Hellenia (5*)
I don't see her often, but the AI loves to drop shield early, so I use her as a tank for now. When she uses her shield, she gets Taunt, so I'm able to dish out some early damage. Doesn't protect against AoE damage, though.

Karon (5*)
Heals everyone else. Mostly heals Hellenia, so my tank is around longer.

May (6*)
I put her on the team as a temporary fill until I can figure out a better unit.


I run into those dumb shields that nullify damage too often. Is there a way to beat those? I feel like I could climb a few ranks if I had a counter for those.
