Its pretty stupid you don't get all 3 rewards from the current event. Why just 1? The previous cake/token event gave you all rewards, and kept giving 5 intermediate rewards every day after you got all 12 token as well.

You only really want to keep 6 Star items. Each time you rank up an item, it randomizes what type of item it is. Speed Attack and HP are the two most important stats, followed by Lethal Attack and Counter Rate. Crit Rate and Block Rate don't see much use.

Block Rate can be good if you've got some sort of passive providing you some already. Maybe not real relevant right now, but down the line if you've got someone with a 50% block rate passive it would be better to take 1xHP/1xBlock rather than 2xHP.
On the other hand, a lot of the best units right now have auto-block sooooo


So uh, Fl.124 ... where to even begin on that one. Obviously locking them down is 100% essential, but Nezha is there to make life miserable. Is Jake maybe the answer? Hit them with Xiao Zombie -> Jake All Eyes -> Jake Fab -> Yu Shin Lightning, should be able to keep up that cycle pretty
I guess with a very strong Yu Shin or Rin you could maybe run a setup like, Yu Shin | Rin, Ace, Xiao, Jake.

Jake actually seems like a good choice for this selector, I don't have him yet and he's god drat Earth elemental.

Probably depends on what else you have for Arena but the answer at this point is most likely 'no'. You're time would be better spent working on a Pascal if you want to work on someone specifically for PvP.

Cool thanks, yeah it sucks I just got Da Qiao to 40 and now Pascal shows up. :smith: I am trying to make a great PVP team now so yeah I guess I will ditch him after I get the jewels out of promoting him first.

imo, take him to 6* and save him until you finish the LuBu puzzle, and then mash them both for a random 4lord from synthesis. I am not sure if Karma is in this pool, but even a chance at just Rin is probably the best use for both these guys.

Gwyrgyn Blood

40 DQ will probably be fine for a while if you're not pushing into any of the Master/Expert tiers. Very few players at Diamond have Pascals yet even, and all of the ones I've run into have been level 30 and died almost immediately.

It's just kind of lame that they released a hero that's just such a blatantly direct counter to and direct upgrade over DQ, who hasn't even been around that long.

Ehhhh ... you could get a LuBu out of it though.

Really I would never toss away any 4L or 7K even if they seem useless at this point. They're the "special" units and they get a lot of priority for buffs, and they're all getting awoken forms sooner or later as well.

Also, when it comes to PvP, meta shifts can cause once bad units to suddenly be very good again. And SWK is a character in particular who could be exceptionally good again with the right kind of meta shift.

You should be fine, he is a regular hero not a 7K/4L.

I did the same thing and got a DQ, hehe.

Thinking of using the DQ + another 6* to synth into Pascal, i think that would be quite poetic. I could get the pascal to 34 with trancenders.

I chose Rin with the 4L selector. I had been postponing it for too long and noticed the duration was just a couple of hours so i panicked and chose her. Perhaps Ace would have been a better choice but i have no dark elements right now so it would have taken 4 weeks to get him to 6* and put into my 32 Ace. Rin on the other hand i can get to 6* right now as i have 2x 5* waters and several 4*s meaning i will have leftover waters for e.g. Espada to transcend her as well.

Karma has auto-block so he's better as a front-liner, but he does also benefits a poo poo load from the extra damage. Teo is prone to dying immediately so putting him in back isn't a terrible idea, helps keep him alive a little longer and also he needs the extra damage.

If you use auto repeat it will do that for you. Auto repeat is not the same as auto play and is actually better because you can set the skills used instead of autoskill

Well, today's trainwreck of a CR run did at least confirm a few very important things:

1) Max Trancending and Geared Sieg and Lee Jung is no longer just 'helpful' and is in fact a completely essential thing for any player to have.

2) Sieg's Wreck It goes straight through all debuff immunities just like Ace's Lunar Slash and Pascal's Gate to Abyss.

3) No seriously, 34 Sieg specced to crit+lethal does more damage with Unsealed in the front row than my virtually maxed out Shane does in the back row.


So yeah time to start farming up some more poo poo for Lee Jung so he doesn't die to a stiff breeze.

For Sieg:
Weapons: 1xCrit/1xLethal
Armor: HP
Jewels: Crit Chance, Life Steal, Crit Damage

Mine's 34+5, but also all masteries unlocked and setup to enhance crit/lethal. You'd get better damage swapping Life Steal for Lethal for Raid, but you need him for CR too so ehh.
That leaves you at a pretty firm 100% Crit Chance and 50% Lethal Chance. So hitting with a Crit+Lethal on a 600% skill that ignores defense, not hard to see where all that damage comes from. Shane still has better sustained DPS than him obviously, but his power as a 'filler' role for CR/Raid is ridiculously good.

Lee Jung is Speed/Counter yes. It's a bit tricky and less than ideal for CR because he'll be fighting with your primary DPS for the Counter. I don't have a Counter jewel on my Shane though so that kind of solves itself.

Gip is physical so he doesn't benefit from Rin's passive for damage increase, so it's a little odd to have him as solo back row. You might benefit from just switching to a 2/3 setup and slap Rin in the back with him. Better still would be to replace Gip with a Pascal entirely, you might think it will suck to lose a Lv 40 hero to work on a new one, but once you see how loving dumb Pascal is you'll probably be happy you did.

If I pull a Pascal I'll do that. I really like Gip, he's my favorite card as of right now. Should I just go for a multi pull? I got a ton of rubies from last Arena season.

I'll move Rin as soon as I have her geared.

Edit: Gip also one-shots most cards I face in Arena with his normal attack.

Looking at his codex entry (I don't have Aragon to confirm), Aragon's cooldown reduction only applies to himself, Lee Jung's applies to all allies. Dellons has the same deal too.

If you don't have all masteries unlocked yet then you probably don't want to waste any rubies on pulling for units. If you want a pascal, the best way is synthesis, so if you are lacking any spare 6*s you should go ham on fusions.

Gip isnt terrible or anything but hes definitely your weakest unit on the team. You could probably stick with him if you really want, maybe ditch Rudy instead if you want to go super hard into offense.

Then keep your gip and replace rudy with pascal, that's the current top tier team except you run gip instead of teo, which you could certainly do worse than.

That gives you a big advantage in that 2 of your units are normal heroes so you can get them to 40 fairly easy.
