If you're a fan of goblin rockets, this weeks glory reward chest gives 2 red/yellow arcane traitstones. As an ultra-rare, the Goblin Rocket's trait unlocks look like this: 1. 14 Minor, 6+6 Major 2. 20 Minor, 8+8 Runic 3. 26 Minor, 8 Major, 3 Arcane

Costs 2 more, and doesn't give an extra turn though, but the bigger downside is that it drops your overall health by 12 for the other three Zaejin troops from dropping the bonus from 4 units to 3. (+10 life to +6 life each)

RussianBear posted:You may want to prioritize upgrading Darkstone. From the latest patch notes. I do not read patch notes. Holy crap. Yup, going to get me another +1 magic. So, kingdom power level looks like it's crazy hard to get past a single gold star. I managed to get all kingdoms up to a silver and with another 5k souls I can get Zaejin up to 2 gold, but unless the next levels of that require a lot fewer points it's not possible to get the double stat bonus yet.

From what I can tell, the kingdoms upgrade in power at 600, 1200, 1700, 2100?, 2400, and (I assume) 2600 points. I have confirmation of all but the 2100 and 2600 levels, but following that pattern makes me pretty confident that those are correct. With 8 troops from each kingdom, you have 400 points in unique troop bonuses, 1600 points from getting them all to level 20, and then 600 points for all 24 traits at 25 points a pop. So 2600 points for all eight troops at mythic with all their traits unlocked. And no, I've seen no reference to anyone making it that far yet. Most people seem to be struggling to figure out what to do (1) about all their extra major traitstones and insufficient minor traitstones, (2) to quickly whittle down the ~200 armor/life an all-Goblin team has at present, or (3) to deal with troops that have the True Shot trait.

It's not hard, just expensive. Just another target for whales. I finally hit 450 gems and got the 50 gem chests. Managed to pull a giant spider, but Hobgoblin still eludes me. It is the only ultra rare I am missing. Also pulled enough Treants to ascension it. What other teans are strong? My goblins and Valkyrie teams are maxed out until I get more troops and stones. I faced a strong undead team. Grave Knight, Skeleton, Banshee, Wight. The Grave Knight and Skeleton had a trait to boost undead health by 2 each, which really helps a weakness innate to undead. 4x undead, 2x Khetar, 2x Ghoulvania bonuses. Extra purple from the Banshee trait too. 4x undead is +1 magic, too! I made a Whitehelm elite team. Lady Sapphira, Moloch, Paladin, and Celestia. Everyone shares yellow for the bonus mastery. It plays mostly as a Sapphira beat down team. Celestia would be nice in the top spot too. Whitehelm Divines combine some nice bonuses as well. Archon, Priestess, Paladin, whatever. Valkyrie might be worth it for the 2 health trait. Dwarves can stack some nice bonuses, but their abilities are lackluster. Explode a gem, destroy a gem... Meh. Dwarf Lord is quite strong. High damage and easy to power up. It might be worth using him with the Bombardier, Dwarven Miner, and either Keghammer or Sparkgrinder. Mine own dwarves are all level 1, so I can't confirm.

There are a few teams I would like to try out except it takes so many souls to level them up. The only decent source of souls now is doing challenges on Warlord IV difficulty, and there are only so many challenges for the one-time reward. Constructs: Flame Cannon Blast Cannon Carnex Deep Borer All red for +25 mastery, +10 armor, +2 life, and some interesting traits. Would probably be destroyed by True Shot centaurs. Wildfolk: Centaur Scout (if you can't beat them, join them) Shadow Hunter Satyr/Blade Dancer/Ranger Ragnagord

When I complained about this earlier in the thread, someone mentioned that you can just run arena until you get him and buy the troops at the end. It took about 10 tries, but if you win two matches and retire it saves time and you don't lose gold. I believe you have to win 8 matches to be offered the troop purchase at the end though.

True Shot Centaur Scout looks nice, but drat that's a lot of trait stones. And souls to level it up. You speak as if this team is ubiquitous, but I don't recall ever fighting it. I do skip most of my matches is they fall beneath a certain reward threshold. This week I've been using my free scouts more, since any amount of rewards is worth it if the defender is just the hero with a club. There are a lot of goblin teams. I lost a match to a defending team that had an average attack of 19 or so. It was brutal, and one of those unlucky matches where I kept accidentally creating skull matches with the random drops. The attack must have been from kingdom bonuses. The troops themselves weren't that exceptional.

By the way, I want to announce that I totally called this (the 20th kingdom having a bonus to magic) back before Darkstone was unveiled. I'm counting this as me being right even though I was wrong for several weeks in between.  How much money is it to get to VIP level 3 again? I am seriously considering spending my way to free scouting just so I can choose PVP battles that aren't exhausting.

What are these trophies that I'm getting from PVP now? Also, I'm getting close to unlocking a trait on one of my troops, but do I get to choose which one, or does it just unlock the first one? Because the first trait is worthless trash but the second one is pretty amazing.

And if I run into one, I'll go a couple turns and if I'm not getting anywhere on it I'll just close out. I bought 10 Gem Chests and got another Hobgoblin and Goblin Rocket. All in all a good day.

Traits unlock in order.

I was reading the official forums and learned that you can get traitstone drops from doing challenges, and they're keyed to the color(s) associated with that kingdom. So if you're trying to farm up particular stones, this is probably the best way to get them.

Rolled a 2nd Goblin Rocket and I've been messing with this team (different weapon though): http://community.gemsofwar.com/t/goblin-rocket-a-guide-for-invading/314 It's crazy fun. I'm not sure if it's better than a standard goblin one, but drat if it isn't fun when you get in an infinite loop.

Dunno about quests, I finished all of mine, but challenges definitely give traitstone rewards. Note that the challenge enemies are buffed if you haven't done a challenge since 1.0.8 dropped, the ones I were fighting were common with all traits unlocked and uncommon with 2 unlocked..

I just want a reliable way for Arcane trait stones. I've gotten one and it's for a color combo I don't use. The lower levels are coming steadily enough from chests for me.

Been having a lot of luck with an all-goblin team, particularly since I had the good fortune to draw a Dark Song and a Hobgoblin, but I'm thinking about changing it up. Maybe a machine team headed by Tinkmaster, or an undead team? The starter zone guy (Luther?) that gives all allies 3 attack seems really strong too. Any suggestions for teams with good synergies?

Problem with all these "+x" skills is that they take quite some time to actually get going. +Attack is actually worst in this, as you are only using one guy's attack at a time. Unless you have some disposable tanky units in the first slots, you will be probably be down enough troops to not make it worthwhile anymore, especially since you still have to get those skulls. Skeleton can be nice for that, of course, but I think it actually overlaps with Luther (don't really remember his color). I'm not really a pro though.

Still haven't found anything better than Gorgotha, Keeper of Souls, Alchemist, Green Slime. No bonuses at all, but it's very fast and lucrative. Do a little prep work with Al and Slime so Keeper can transform pretty much the entire board into skulls. He'll one-shot anyone and, after you've exhausted the 4- and 5- matches - assuming anyone is still standing - just have Gorgotha explode the board to clear any stray skulls (18 damage is the best I've got so far) and provide gems to get the cycle going again.
