Trap and harden has broken through other defense skills, even ones where you manually activate it for me. I think that's the purpose of the skill. Seems weird that the force someone to attack skill would let them bypass it though.

I've had that happen a number of times to me too. Duul or Jersey Devil will have their taunt skills up, and the enemy will say "lol, no" and one shot Kid Tut.

I'm not very impressed with the whole "summon a level 0 monster and farm 5+ shards to make it usable" mechanic.

At least the daily quests give you two spots to farm shards, but it is really annoying to summon Eustace at 2 stars, and have zero ability to upgrade him, like ever.

I finally scrounged up 400 processed arc, is it better to use it on a monster I want like Eustace or a monster I already have and want to evolve like Ramses? I'm afraid to capture a monster and they end up only one star.

I'm in a small syndicate with some friends so I don't have a huge supply.

Was that a light boss? I did it with a four star Jenny, a four star horde and two baba yagas. Using a weak attacker to get the last enemy down to less than 300 while the horde is in protection mode means that the enemy kills itself and you enter the new wave on attack. Two baba yagas mean you'll have two powerful blasts ready to go.

If it wasn't a light boss I did it with four star cole instead of baba yaga and a goon's helle.

Working on beating level 20 and have just enough arc to capture the horde if I manage to win.

Re: trying to switch guild leadership. :lol: it doesn't work well.

Tried to upgrade Xianxia from Elder to Leader. No dice. Then I left the guild and rejoined. Guild leadership of Goonamancers is now in Candyleaders hands. Thats how that happened.

No idea what the default line of succession is.

Not going to bother with this, the stage is easy but the silence skill has a bug that doesn't wear off if a unit is the attacker. Really pissed me off when it happened.

It's not just attackers. Twice I've cruised through with Horde/Jenny/Baba/Orlok and got hung up on the boss. This last time both Orlok and Jenny were perma-silenced.

I made it to the tenth map on the med pack daily today. Are those maps always such ridiculous bullshit or is this one special? It's got a green gem in the center that locks out other green gems, and like 90% of the gems you clear out get replaced by green gems. By the time I gave up there were maybe ten non greens scattered across the board and it was impossible for me to put together a combo to break any free

Just the Med pack daily map 10.

Other maps have more reasonable setups. The chain locks are total bs.

The annoying thing is how they arbitrarily make the later maps have enemies with levels higher than yours. Normal stages aren't supposed to be challenging they are supposed to be time sinks, event are where you taunt players for being weak.

Agreed. I think its a bug, with skills being thought of as an "attack"? Any idea if it works when the player is attacking?

No idea. My monster collection is pretty sparse, and I don't think I have anyone who can lock down enemy units to circumvent a taunt.

I've been having fun with the game, but yeah there really are some aggravating mechanics to deal with. Any fight with a taunter I have to focus them down immediately or it degrades into a terrible battle of attrition between my tank's garbage damage and the taunter.

I also kind of wish the basic team size was 4 instead of 3 so I could get more variety. As it is, 90+% of my teams end up being monocolor healer/tank (depending on the enemy colors) and Helle. Before I had Helle at four stars that slot was usually whatever color attacker opposed the major enemy, but with her attack growth and the way light/dark characters interact (no colors mitigate their damage) there really hasn't been any need to switch her out

Honestly, at this point, the characters and the puzzle aspect are all I like. I hate that subsequent waves get a free sucker punch at you if you don't clear them with a skill, since they invariably manage to one shot whoever they attack, I hate that I have fuckall options for trying to evolve my monsters to more useful forms, I hate that they get to spam crazy powerful super moves every single turn when it takes two solid board clears just for me to give Sam Hain a single sweep attack, and again, I hate that they completely nullify the concept of a tank by giving the AI a way to ignore it.

They definitely need to make some changes.

We would be but because our former leader couldn't promote a new leader, we tried having him quit and rejoin, but that just made who ever that level 15 is the guild leader. Rip us. After this next arc drop, we may want to reform. Idk.

Question: what would you rather see in the ally slot Helle or Horde or ??
