Avoid buying anything from Popo that isn't a Christmas cake or a Colosseum Ticket (if you can get 7-10 wins), its all so over priced and easier to get else where. Especially weapons/heroes.

Oh really? I thought it was pretty handy especially when you get good 4* heroes pop up. I normally just convert my gems to gold and buy stuff off Popo since I don't really have any uses for gems at the minute.

I don't play enough to need refills and I've got more than enough storage space. Wouldn't spending the equivalent of 20 gems on gold be worth it to get someone like Joan or Sasquatch or should I just save my money and keep trying to evolve dudes?

Most 4*s aren't too hard to get through promotions. If you don't need the gems for anything pull for some of the gacha heroes cause couple of them are quite good.

The quests have been very glitchy for me. I find force quitting the game and logging back in sometimes helps.

Also make sure you're actually running it on Hard mode.

It's just a display bug. I have that happen all the time and I'll complete the quest even though it stays at 0.

While I'm not a pro at this game, All I can suggest is to make sure your unit levels are decent, and always make sure you have 3 heal blocks connected always to keep yourself fine, Also don't forget to link special skills to 3* units and higher.

I was thinking of making a tier listing for all the characters in the game. I'm trying to build up some teams and a lot of times I'm at a total loss whether it's worth keeping a unit around. Here's just a basic rundown from what I've found thus far on my own

PVE
Warrior:
Joan of Arc
Susanoo

Paladin:
Alexander
Kriemhild

Archer:
Giparang

Hunter:
D'artagnan
Sneak

Wizard:
Sasquatch
Alice

Priest:
Mew
Woompa Woopa

I don't have too much time in PVP, nor the resources to test various groupings. I would also like to add some group combos that are very effective so you can start building up teams. Hopefully we can get something drafted up and I'll keep on updating this post as needed. If it get's decent enough maybe we can toss it in the OP.

PSA: A number of tooltips for skills/passives in the Tome are wrong. Ex: Maria's are completely wrong and Archon's passive tooltip doesn't list how he can build electricity orbs etc. Check the Dec 23 Patch Notes for the actual effects. **Engrish/mistranslations in the patch notes too, but you'll get the general idea

Thanks guy!
Edit: better up above

Few thing to add is that some of the heroes people think are bugged.

Nightingale - She doesn't actually stop healing, you can use the block once and she will constantly heal over and over and never stop to even throw an auto-attack

Hikari - Her arrows knock back and re-registers the damage per knockback so she hits multiple times in the same attack, which makes her dps retarded.

No real comment on whether those are being fixed or not, so for now those 2 are amazing at what they do.

I can attest that Drake blows hard. I am having a lot of fun with Korin and Woompa Woopa though. I should level up another tank-class character for better synergy, but resources are hard to come by at lv. 15.

Would I be fine with running Korin/Woopa/Hanzo instead of Korin/Woopa/Drake, or is that too squishy?
*all lv. 4*

Optionally, save up like 200k gold and just buy mew's contract from popo if you see it. This also applies to a lot of other 4*s

Contract is contract only I believe.

Also never buy heroes from popo. 200k lets you do two 5*->6* promotions and like 20 3*->4*s

She does stop, actually. At least for me(at 4-star), she does exactly what the tooltip describes, heals and then continues healing at auto-attack speed for 5 seconds. Unless that changes as she gets better(the tooltip on future promotions doesn't indicate so) I don't know what you're seeing but I wish I did =(

I set my leader as my healer, so I have tons of heal spells. For the harder levels I just spam heals while doing a bunch of white damage. I also have a skill on my healer that creates 2 leader blocks when used, so it's an almost endless stream of healing.

Seriously, I can't imagine blowing gold on anything Popo sells. It's way cheaper to shove bread down some 3* guy's gullet, and unless your luck is atrocious you'll get who you're after sooner rather than later.

When I think of all the 5* guys I could train up with 200k gold right now.... :negative:

Just got a 4* Robin Hood out of a random free contract (loving the way the game just hands you IAP stuff) and I'm wondering:

I started playing a few days ago, and I have a 3* Archer already at 30 and ready to promote. Seeing Robin is pretty high on the tier list, should I save my honor for Leon or another one of my units, or try and play the promotion game to get a better Archer?

Already have 4* Himiko from contract as well.

On the other hand, if you do 30 3->4*, that's a lot of honor you could be rolling on the honor contracts, assuming the contract only stuff can come from there too.

From testing in dungeons, she will bug out and go infinite. I'm not sure what causes it but I've left it on for an hour and came back to her still alive healing herself.... Also had the sad sad experience where she was the only one left against a Boss with 10 hp left, and she wouldn't stop to throw out an auto-attack so I had to abandon since she wouldn't die either.

Steamrolling the World-3 water boss with Woopa (lead), Korin, and Hanzo felt really good. Should I sell away my max Rank-3 Drake for the Honor now that I've realzed how much of a burden he is?

By no means an expert, but I don't think you should. It is possible that Drake will be buffed at some point, and you'll regret selling him.

I feel like I'm going to have to do that too. I'm obsessively holding on to a lot of the 3-star units I get just so I can return them for honor later, because I don't want to take the 460 Honor gamble to get a decent 4-star.

Edit: Did the free Contract and got my second Himiko. Hooray...

Honor won't be an issue once you are Gold/Master rank in the Colosseum. The easiest way is to get Leon to 5*/6* for most people. A 6* Leon can carry you to at least Gold rank.

I don't think it does? The icon shows the gem contract, so I'm pretty sure it has to be that.

Got a 5* Maxi off today's free pull. Good times.
