I say use the Null Sphere to make yourself that much more resistant to spell damage. It even covers the purple you're missing in the other three troops.

Unlocked Archer, setup's as follows:

Archer
  • Level 20:+ 5 Attack, +8 Armor, +7 Life
  • Perks: Unerring Aim: +4 Attack, Quickshot: +2 Magic, Elf Friend: Counts as an Elf
  • Traits: Nature Heart: +1 Life for each green ally, Fast: Start battles with 50% mana, Bullseye: 15% chance for skull damage to be lethal
  • Weapon: Dragon Oak: Deal 9 damage to an enemy, remove all gems of one of that troop's mana colors to boost the effect (2:1 ratio) 14 green

Its not bad. Just by hitting PvP rank 1 every week gets you the trophies, and 30k gold comes pretty quick. Plus its nice getting a ton of keys, gems, etc all the time.

The devs are aware of the problem.

We're aware of this issue. Unfortunately a fix for this is out of our hands, as it is a known bug in Adobe AIR (which we use for development) and are waiting for them to fix it.

Some Sperglord on the Forums posted:

The 50 gem fee for switching class needs to be removed. I have spent over 300 gems so far switching from class to class. There are two main reasons for this:

There are no rewards past 250 wins. Since wins don't give any additional rewards past 250 wins, there is little need to stay on one class for too long. Dedicated players get 250 wins much quicker than the 6 day timer.

Defend team doesn't save class. Since everyone's defend team has to use current class, there becomes a lot of instances where people prioritize for PvP class rather than defend class. This leaves less creativity with defends as people are forced to use the same offensive class as defensive. For instance, I prefer Priest for defend, but always PvP with Sorcerer, Necromancer, or Archer.

You don't need to have the hero on the team to rack up wins for the class weapon. As long as you have a class select on the hero page, a win with any team counts.

So, this week's glory reward provides 2x arcane spirit stones (blue/purple). The necromancer hero class requires 16 of these to max out the traits, so if you've got 3200 glory burning a hole in your pocket, this could be the week to dump it.

Just to summarize the class:
Perks: +8 life, +2 magic, counts as undead
Traits: +2 life for undead, +1 magic/purple ally, +1 soul for 4/5 gem matches
Home kingdom: Khetar

The game doesn't count you as active unless you complete a battle of some kind. Treasure maps still don't count I think. If all you are doing is logging in and collecting gold it will show you as inactive back to your last actual battle.

I feel like I play this game a lot (I'm maybe a few days away from getting all the kingdoms up to level 10) and I'm nowhere near getting even my first class maxed out.

That said, I do think they should get rid of the gem requirement for swapping classes. Classes are a neat mechanic but you don't get to play around with the classes enough to really enjoy it. I'm guessing they launched them with the gem requirement to be on the safe side in case it turned out they really broke the game but so far it doesn't look like they are good enough to be abused by frequent switching.

Also they need to nerf the gently caress out of that scythe, or at least find a way to keep it in check in Arena.

It is good advice. Getting all kingdoms unlocked and to level 5 as soon as possible will increase your income. You'll get more daily gold, and more importantly, multi-kingdom tribute will give free gems regularly which will allow you to buy +gold armor. Usually the best way to go is to get the 50gem armor (or buy the limited-time $4.99 starter pack that has one in your first two weeks) then a 250 or 500 gem one.

Haha I'm not leaving after we finally got the guilds filled back up with potential guild task donators. Give me all the free glory keys and gems (once they have leveled their kingdoms and can contribute a significant amount regularly).

Unfortunately for those seeking invites, Gem Blossums is full.

However, both CrashCat and Meat Magician are showing several days of inactivity. Is either of you bored of the game, such that we can free up a slot for new players? In this brave new world of more active players I don't want to boot someone prematurely.


As an aside, one of the features under consideration for the guild update (2.1, I think) is that guilds will be able to buy weeklong increases to gold/souls/XP gains using tokens. So that's another reason to be contributing to guild tasks. Myself, I hope that they implement an automatic contribution setting. It was irritating trying to manage 10, 20, or 50% contributions to tasks while I built up my kingdoms. Would have been much easier if there was a switch I could set somewhere that 30% of all gold earned goes into guild coffers to be spent on tasks.

I keep going up against teams with a higher magic Crescendo in the arena. Them doing 8 or 9 true damage to my low leveled guys sucks and can 1 or 2 shot most of my team.
