I more or less just started playing Gumball Dungeon. Just popped my first Divine Dragon. Is it better to go for Gems, coins, or more companions?

You going to want to grab 14 different wishes in time, so it doesn't really matter. Probably coins and gems are more helpful first. Slave is a pretty lovely gumball. Even it's global buff is pretty meh (he counts as an extra artisan)

It's just him grayed out. He's still moving, but tapping him doesn't do anything, so I was confused at first. So far I've got +20k coins so I think I'll wait until tomorrow so I can hire him.

You have to wear the helmet to interact with him. Same with the grayed out statue you sometimes see in there.

Yeah, agreed. I think when a game has a side conversation this long and isn't "add me i'm neongamer78" it's worth it. Is anyone working on one or should I just put something together?

I played it for a while but the F2P grind is incredibly slow, and I hit a huge wall on the PVE side around level 20 when the opponent's minions all get +1/+1.

Eternal CCG's client popped up recently. It's in an early beta but the price is right ($0).

It plays like Magic: the Gathering with a more simple resource system and a more streamlined timing system. It's developed by some MTG pros who really know what they're doing. The F2P is very generous and you can get in game currency by playing against other players or AI.

It's also on Steam and your account is linked across both.

Got good suggestions for this but need something way more simple that can be understood in 1 minute.

Maybe a simple text trivia or party game?

Telltale's Walking Dead season 3 is out on the Play Store.

Also out is a new military strategy game with the SEO friendly title of War Commander: Rogue Assault that has gotten some notice for being developed by one of the guys who created Command & Conquer. Unlike other strtegy games on mobile it also advertises direct control of your units and no timers.

If you like Magic you should check out Magic Forge for Andriod. It's made by fans and is basically the best implementation of MtG ever made (way better than anything Wizards put out themselves). Full AI, every card in the game, all kinds of optional drafting and quest modes, etc. 100% free, no dlc no microtransactions

Gumballs and Dungeons: What do the Mechanical Snowman and Reindeer from the event do? I've got enough for the snowman now but I'm wondering if I should save up for the reindeer instead.

Edit: The gumballs facebook page is now giving out daily secret codes that expire after 24 hours. https://www.facebook.com/gumballs.dungeons/

The current one is 3850 and it just came up so it should be good for about 24 hours.

Friend, do not purchase this thing. The touch controls for PS1 andriod emulators are great in Final Fantasy Tactics, and playing the original version will allow you to utilize the FFT Randomizer! This will scramble all of the fights and shops and npcs in the game, so each play through is a unique challange:

I haven't played in a while, but I recall some initial irritation but no problems when I got used to them. I never played any other versions, for whatever it's worth.

Bought King of Dragon Pass, won't start without access to my contacts. People questioning this on the store page get the following answers:

1) It doesn't work without it and the answer is too complicated to fit in the character limit here.
2) It's just for our "analytics", we don't do anything bad, trust us.

You need the contacts permission to sign in to Google Play Games. If you look at the permission details, KoDP uses the "find accounts on device" part of the permission whereas an app that needs to read actual contacts info will say "read your contacts" and "modify your contacts".

This is incorrect. Many games use the Play Games services just fine without any permission pop-ups. If an app developer claims they need full access to your contacts, phone number, device serial number, etc., they are either bad at Android programming or they are trying to harvest user data for some purpose.

For KoDP, I would doubt that they are up to any kind of evil scheming purpose. Unless they got bought out or something, the developer (A Sharp) is a small group who just make a few games and apps. But even then, you have to make the determination of whether you want to give up sensitive personal information to a developer that is incompetent or apathetic enough to not care about designing their app properly.

Has anyone raised the lizard in Gumballs? It sounds like you get 10 golden pots right up and then one for each faction every day for 30 days. But I don't know if that's correct or just a bad translation.

The latter part is right. I can't remember if he gave me 10 at the start or not, though. Either way it's a good deal. 4 pots a day is ~20 gems in value, or roughly double the blacksmith upgrade in your alchemy lab.

I've heard the lizard ignores what you've filtered (i.e. gumballs with 5* insignias). So I'd just pick it up now if you're interested.

Getting a gumball to 5* and forging the 5* insignia takes a lot of fragments. I'm ~1/3 maxxed on the first faction and have jack poo poo for the others.

Technically the best time to use the golden pots is after you have after 5* gumballs of the normal dungeon gumballs. Because you can turn off the chance to roll for a gumball after you 5* it.

Anyways to actually answer your question, Ranger song seems to have the best active gumballs. Abyss or canas seems to have the best global buffs. I went the global buff route because I don't think I'm going to have enough golden pots to ever 4* any of the premium gumballs.

Abyss has:
Pharmacist who lower cost of potions
Destoryer who makes blade of ruin last 2 turns longer
Medusa who makes earth spike increase 10% damage and do a cross instead of a line.
Templar who makes chain lightning deal more damage and hit more enemies.

Canas:
King who gives you free rank 1 equipment each dungeon
World tree gives canas gumballs +1 defense
Dwarf king makes mithril and arcane crystal take less time to make.
Cyborg makes disruptive ray do more.
Red hood and magic boy make title cost less for canas gumballs.
Catus and pumpkin make certain raids give more.

Certain abyss gumballs are insanely powerful. But Canas is more likely to give you something. I'm going the Canas route.

I think there was an older post asking this (couldn't find it again sadly, my bad...) but is there a good app to track down and help alleviate battery drainage? Ever since I started mostly playing apps during the day like Gumball and Tap Titans etc, I notice my phone's battery doesn't last for more than 24 hours unless I don't forget to charge it every night... It's troubling when some days it just dies and my morning alarm doesn't ring. :(

Only thing you're missing out on are ~10 golden pots (~50 gumball fragments). For anyone who wants free stuff and has a throwaway facebook, the devs are giving out 500k gold + 5 crystals if you reply to their merry christmas post with "Merry Christmas" and your user id (https://www.facebook.com/gumballs.dungeons/ scroll down to the Merry Christmas post).

For what it's worth, Tap Titans 2 is an absolute battery destroyer. Brand new S7, and if I put it on a charger (not fast charger, just regular) the game drains my battery faster than it can charge.
