I have two more questions.

I have 892 gold chest keys and 584 glory chest keys should I just open them all up or is there a reason to hold on to them?

I also have like 100 treasure maps should I just burn through them?

Sometimes I save up for a new kingdom. Or just for fun. But no, no real reason to not use them.

Multiples of troops are used to ascend. Every troop can become Mythic, raising the level cap to 20. Never disenchant until you have a troop at Mythic, even then I save 4 copies for weird comps. 3 Goblins and 1 Goblin Shaman, 3 druids and 1 Valkyrie...

3 Druids and a Valk is murder waiting to happen. Its a little less efficient than 3 Rock Worms and a Drill Borer, since the Worms will feed each other. 3 Gobbos and a Shaman is just silly though.

Minor nitpick on traitstone farming: the chance of a minor traitstone is 50% in Explore mode, but 70% from Challenges. So if you are farming for minors, then do Challenges.

Manticore is too good. I do really well on defense with him. Korvash is great too. One of my rare losses was to Korvash/Manticore/Mab/whatever, can't remember.

Khorvash and Manticore are the best/worst (pick one). Their stun, drain and true damage combo really is awesome/disgustingly OP (pick one).

Hmm, it's probably time I make a team with them (but without Mab, just to be different).

More questions,

So the team I was using like 6 months ago when I stopped playing is ,

Bear Totem
Raven
Lady Sapphira
Boar Rider

The team seems to do decent but should I work on something else? I do have a Valk which I guess is something everyone uses as well?

Also what Class should I be using? I just unlocked the Warlord but I'm not so sure he's that great.

I like board control and manipulation. Every member of my pvp team can either change the board or get an extra turn. Right now its all goblins. (Shaman, Goblin, Boar Rider, Gob Rocket).

The Woodland banner - that way the Gob gets charged on any green match.

I generally use this but replace Gob with Hobgoblin. Fully traited and mythic, so I get to work on the other three or four teams I'm building up.

Double Mab gives me more trouble than anything else in this game.

My pro Mab strat is to run a team that doesn't care about being frozen. A trait level 2 Gorgotha on the front will eat skull damage for breakfast (unless he's stunned) but he will also be a free mana engine if you set your banner to one with brown or yellow in it. Once you power Gorgotha up he should ideally be able to eat half to all of the board, which is a lot of mana spread out across all colors. Back him up with your best big effects you can manage keeping in mind the usual kingdom/type bonuses and whatnot. YMMV depending on how good your backup is and how high you can push Gorgotha's magic. A good budget option could be to use Spiritcaller or whatever that thing is that blows up a purple to give your dudes +1 magic. Gorgotha can definitely fuel him and very heavily benefits from higher magic level.

Anyway I run Gorgotha***, War***, Famine*, KoS*** with the blue\black banner. I've been meaning to change it to yellow and black but I'm lazy. Using that team I'm able to consistently win against every AI team I run into at level 330. Double Mab gives me problems for a couple of reasons. If Gorgotha gets frozen too early then it makes it hard to power up fast enough to stay alive and god help you if you actually get mana drained when frozen. Also the teams I see with double Mab also have that new emperor guy who stuns two at random on a 4 or 5 match which can also get pretty brutal. Other than that you just kinda roll through everything other than combo teams getting lucky and anything that is capable of killing single targets very quickly. Most matches are simply a matter of seeing how fast you can fill up Gorgotha.

E: Holy crap that's a lot of words about this dumb game.

I just devour Mab and smash the rest. It works most of the time. Even with two. Khorvash and Manticore is harder in my experience

I didn't know until last night that the kingdom bonuses apply even if it's not your home kingdom. My highest priority just went from beefing up a souls farming team to throwing gold at magic kingdoms.

Combaticus beat you to the punch for the last spot. Gem Blossoms may have some room still. Otherwise I think we have at least one spot opening up shortly.

Gem Blossums is at 30/30 members. That's why I asked Zetsubou-san whether they were still playing. If no response in the next day or so, I will boot them and send out an invite to Mazreal.

Found the very first team I refuse to fight (usual MO being not caring at all who's on the other side) : War and 3x Famine, fully traited. I had a couple ideas to counter them, but figured it just wasn't worth it.

It's been three or so days, and you haven't responded here, in guild chat or by doing a battle in-game. I'm booting you to make room for Mazreal. If you are still playing, let me know and you'll get the next open spot.

I always found Boar Rider better because you could set up a 4 match more easily. And Rocket wasn't a marauder, when that mattered.

It seems like this is true, until you start to recognize the goblin rocket setups. being able to do different combinations of 2x2, 3x2 and 3x3 is pretty drat versatile
