I've gotten like 4 surveys in the past 24 hours about my career and stores I've been to. Might want to keep an eye on your app.

I woke up to one this morning with two pictures of bouquets, asking me to count the number of dahlias. I had to look up what a dahlia looked like, and even then both pictures were angled similarly so it was hard to count them well. What the hell was the point of that survey?

I had one with a weird picture of an overweight unattractive person's selfie and it asked if I could see the glasses.

Anyone tried the Adventure Time Puzzle Quest? The actual puzzling seems to go so much faster, gems drop quickly, swap quickly. Almost too quickly since its super sensitive and sometimes does moves you dont want to do. I was enjoying it because they didnt do the annoying "give AI a turn on the board" poo poo I generally dislike since it invalidates any planning ahead. Then I pulled their slot machine and realized they're using the same lovely IAP model from Marvel PQ. Seriously one of the worst and most punitive IAP models out there. gently caress this industry.

The game itself is fine, but unless i'm mistaken you initially only have room for 3 units and "reserves"(in other words those you don't have room for) disappear after 3 days leaving no room for growth. :stare: Yeah, i'm probably not going to stick around for this game.

You get the currency to buy slots insanely fast for the PQ format however, so this really shouldn't be a problem.

I have heard nothing but bad things. That includes on the game store. And the game store is a place where I have seen countless 4* reviews that said "game crashes whenever i try to play."

A theory is that Google is using the surveys to improve their picture identification algorithms, which helps their Photo App, and their Catchpha service. I got one that showed three pictures and said "which one has meat in it" and none of them had meat. Well, one was a person, so I picked that one.

Ugh. Just drew the nastiest team I've ever seen in Gems of War PvP:

Webspinner (Legendary, Green/Purple, active poisons your whole team, 2 damage to whole team, and creates 10 green gems)
Webspinner
Goblin Shaman (Rare, Purple/Brown, active creates 9 green gems, take another turn)
Hobgoblin (Ultra Rare, Red/Green, active does 6 damage to each of two enemies, take another turn)

One Webspinner is hard enough to stop once it gets on a roll. A second as a backup is just mean. Regardless, it means that as soon as the opponent gets Green, Purple or Brown rolling, you have to get lucky not to be screwed, because greens everywhere generally mean extra turns for him, extra uses of the actives to keep the board green, and then Hobgoblin can plink you to death at his leisure.

I answered no of course, and even though I only got $0.10 from it I'd like to think I would have gotten nothing had I answered differently. I was just shocked when I got that survey, never had anything like that before. I've had three surveys since then, two asking me about going to Sprint and one about investments. I guess I'm back to normal surveys again.

Use the keys right away. There is zero reason to hold off on using them.

As for souls, yeah, it's probably best to save them for good cards that you'll actually want to use. There are some really solid common cards that are worth juicing up in the meanwhile though. Goblins are pretty pimp... 6 green gets you a quick attack that doesn't end your turn.

Use keys whenever you get them, then use the souls to train your best troops. Run Arena to get more souls and keys!

If you look at the troop menu and select "view all" or whatever, the first Epic troop of each kingdom is unlock-able by completing all the quests in that kingdom. So look for troops that you want and hit those quests.

I say just level the units you are using to about level 10ish. Leveling up units is dirt cheap until about like 7-9 depending on rarity. A full arena run gets you about 425 souls which is basically enough to get someone to an okay level. You want at least a good enough team to get storyline epics and the week's pvp prize.

Also rarity doesn't affect how good a unit is. Common units are really really good. So I would focus on anyone that can change the board, gain an extra, or deal decent damage.

Keep an eye out for Valkyrie and Druid those are very powerful rares and they even work very well together.

Byolante posted:

Most of the cards are worthless. Build 1 bunny in the second to right bottom row of the 2x4 area. Wait a few turns for it to level up then put spiders at the back of those rows and fill the other 5 slots with beavers, put jillys in the back 3 lanes, a dandelion in the middle of the front 3 lane. Always combine potions up to gold rank and only drink them on your rabbit. put a frozen 2 set on the dandelion and the lower row spider. Ignore all blue and gold towers, they are gold sinks with no value. Replace the bunny with a balu the bear when it becomes avail, put a knushexe in the front right spot of the first 3 lane. Replace a beaver with manitou. Put a withered 2 set on the dandelion to go with the frozen 2 set. Gradually replace damage items with crit damage items on your balu as he gets to around level 60 and the dmage potions start to stack up.

Its probably the most formulaic tower defense I have ever played once I worked out what was going on. There really is only 1 winning strategy.

I finally beat Easy and lasted 551 seconds in the Bonus Round with a fairly similar strategy -- I put an Electric Chair in the middle of the front row, fed all my potions and best gear to that, stacked a few Irish Pubs in the back for spike damage and from there it didn't really matter all that much because the Chair caused havoc until I replaced it with Balu, who was just a cuddly rape machine from then on. By the end Balu had an average damage of 716K on an 0.8s cooldown. Next, to try it on Normal.

Some of the other cards I've heard good things about :
* Shadow is a solid DPS machine because he has great range, a 1s cooldown and his Adapt ability means he builds up amplified damage against all monster types except Horsemen.
* Mr. Iron is a contender if you build up item rates and then utilize his modular skill over and over. Internalize stuff like Viking Helmets, Seven League Boots, Rare Steaks, Monster Teeth, Longbows if you want him as a heavy hitter, or Keys of Wisdom, Herb Cauldrons, Irish Pub Barrels, Fistfuls of Steel if you want him as a support unit pumping up your main. Eventually you can get him down to 0.1s cooldown and the Withered set to knock enemies back very reliably.
* Give Miss Jilly the Impatient set, always spam the Fast-Forward icon and put her reasonably close to the front so that she never stops attacking. It's not the damage that you want so much as spamming that 1% chance for instadeath. Luck items increase that rate.
* Ganesha can go somewhere in the middle of your troops because he'll level them and himself substantially faster, and can then be replaced for an instant level 99 something else.
