Valatar posted:Yeah, I almost lost to a Great Maw team, I think it was kaptk23, they killed two of mine before I managed to stabilize and fill the gap with spider swarms, then use Pharos-Ra to smash down their heavy hitters. It's the closest I've come to a loss in as long as I can remember. That same rear end in a top hat got me too. First time I've lost to a Maw/Mercy team in forever. Lucky match on their first turn and just lost the board. Oh well, we're still way ahead. Edit: jjac posted:I'm kind of getting into this game again now that it's on Steam and the energy system is gone, can I get an invite to a guild for the ridiculous loot I keep hearing about? Gem Boiz is full, and I think Blossums are as well. You may want to join a pubbie guild for a little bit until we have an opening. Everyone in Boiz is pretty active now too. It's been a long time since everyone on the roster had seals or trophies contributed in the same week. Edit2! I'm playing around with: Silvermaiden Bone Dragon Shadow Dragon Star Gazer Silvermaiden is pretty drat hard to kill, and pumping up her attack with Star Gazer makes Bone Dragon casts pretty effective. I'm not sold on the latter half of the team though. It's kind of slow if you don't get a good board. There aren't any helpful mana converters for this combo.

I got my first Legendary at level 63! It's Garuda, and it fits perfectly on my team: Banshee Alchemist Garuda Ranger Thinking about putting it up on top in place of Banshee but so far it's been doing pretty well! The Ranger almost seems replaceable now since Garuda's damage is so high and consistent. Anyone have any tips?

Bandire posted:I'm playing around with: Try Keeper of Souls over Bone Dragon. Bone Dragon doesn't do poo poo at the end of the match. And unless you have him up front, Frozen Soul doesn't do much. I messed around a lot with the few options that I have for purple tanks. Silvermaiden is very solid, but doesn't do much to speed up the team. I tried Carnex. If you can pump up his armor he gets really dangerous. But is only "armored". Carnex Keeper of Souls or Bone Dragon or Infernal King Queen Mab Hero with Prismatic Sphere It's kind of backwards, but if make a ton of skulls and then blow them all up, you can power the rest of the team. Mab slows down the enemy with frozen. It's kind of hit or miss. I think my best team uses The Dragon Soul. Bone Dragon Dragonette (?) The Dragon Soul Shadow Dragon Or whatever purple dragons you have traited. Slower than my normal TDS team, but it works. I also messed around with trying to build a true damage team with Crescendo. But a lot of my purple true damage troops have no traits. But it can be done. And you can use Goblin Shaman to spreed things up.

Is there a penalty for using a double (or triple) colored troop instead of a pure one with regards to the point bonus?

The free giant spiders to save you when you are losing is not a great strategy. My other option would be Archer. As long as the troop has the color, you are good. All mono purple would suck. waffles beyond waffles fucked around with this message at 05:14 on Apr 28, 2017 |

A tip I picked up today: if you don't like your guild wars opponent, back out to the kingdom map and your opponent will change if there is another option at that tier. Scouting is cheap, might as well use it. It would really help for future guild wars if people would post the (edit: color-matched) teams that go 5-0 so they can be compiled. Please note traits unlocked and banner choice if possible. This team went undefeated today and didn't take any extraordinary luck to do so: Crimson Bat* Valkyrie*** Void Portal*** Crimson Bat* Dragon banner Blacula fucked around with this message at 07:59 on Apr 28, 2017 |

Meh, I lost a troop today due to some unlucky matches, no longer a flawless record..  On the other hand I got lucky that Death Knight didn't kill a troop, so whatever. I guess Death Knight is going to be really good for defense teams, I'll be on the watch out and bring something to stun him the next time.Otherwise, my team worked flawlessly, this was it (all Mythic and fully traited): Bone Dragon Kraken Hellcat Death Having two troops that are boosted by this week's event is definitely nice.

I'm a little torn on guild wars. It's fun now, but feeling like I have to play every day in a casual spare time phone game is a little off-putting. I log in a bunch of times every day to collect tribute, but I won't always have 30 minutes in a day to juggle teams and play 5 matches. Hopefully they do add a bunch more team slots soon.

I'm really enjoying guild wars. As a higher level player before guild wars after I hit rank 1 in PVP there wasn't really anything that I wanted to do. Especially when the event of the week involved defeating enemies in explore. No thanks. Now I can do something meaningful every day. It's also forced me to try out new teams and new troops. It also helps that the goon guilds aren't super competitive so winning all 5 matches everyday doesn't feel like an obligation.

I was also upset at the jump in time played that guild wars added, but stopped short of quitting when I realized it would mostly be front-loaded figuring out new teams that have every troop using the daily mana color for max points. Once there's a decent list of options for each color (not everyone has the rarer troops, or all traits, etc), just slot one and play 5 matches, ezpz.

It's quick enough to bang out the five matches most of the time, I don't even bother with matching colors and whatever, mainly because I only have that one team built up and it's what I like so I'll keep using that.

The problem I see with Guild Wars is that losing a troop is a big deal for the highest level players, so we'll eventually start seeing teams that rely on RNG rolls (Kraken, Kerberos, death mark, etc.) to remove one or more troops from the invading team. Not that you can't win the match with troops missing, but it's just less fun coming up against an obvious griefing team.

Yep, but summon troops will serve that niche because as long as your team ends with 4 troops you get the full points you would have with 0 deaths.

For purple I took down a 5-0 with a fully traited Silvermaiden Kraken Keeper of Souls Green Seer I got a little lucky against the mab/justice team I faced, where they never got an infinite combo started. But I like to think it was because of diligent clearing of blue, through either matches or turning them into skulls or green gems. I liked silvermaiden as a front line because I could barrier up the turn before a bone dragon or keeper fired off their ability, which could mitigate a ton of damage. The self cleanse also came in handy against a few freezers i came up against. Kraken is good for taking pot shots at a back line famine, and whittling everyone down with 4 or 5 gem matches.

I was able to do the last 2 day's colors but forgot on the yellow day that colors were a thing that mattered. Today i just wasn't able to because my purple options were limited or not traited. Today's fights were one random low level fight then 4 traited mythic Korvash/Valk/Justice/Mab teams. Barely won the last fight, was down to my back line mana generators and won with a couple lucky skull matches. We're getting killed in points today though.

Went 4-1 with a very slow mostly untraited Silvermaiden Dragon Soul (fully traited, but only legendary) Banshee Spirit Fox Spirit Fox was MVP for blocking all sorts of poo poo that would have ruined my day. The one battle I lost was to a team with too many awesome spells for Spirit Fox to lock them all down. Silvermaiden did a great job of not dying.

I'm kind of having the opposite feeling - Guild Wars fights feel like a necessary grind of losing matches against much more advanced teams that I have to get through; and by the time I'm done I don't really feel like playing the game anymore (I normally only do 5-7 matches a day as I'm not a heavy duty player).

If you're not geared for the guild wars and getting unfun times having your face stomped, just don't do them. S'cool. Just do what you do find fun and eventually you'll get together a team that is competitive with the autistics.

So my dumb idiot newbie team keeps winning in Guild Wars against fully traited teams of mythics depsite having no one fully traited. The Kraken probably isn't newbie friendly, but if anyone else lucked into one the rest of the team is easy to find. Kraken* Giant Spider** Goblin Shaman* Valkyrie** All you need is one lucky devour on the Kraken and you're golden, and even without it you poo poo out enough damage quickly enough to keep things under control. I'd love to snag Water Link on the Valkyrie, but I don't have the stones yet. Been using the Unicorn banner since I just turn red gems into blues or purples 99% of the time. This falls apart if the Kraken dies and Spider Swarms become the main source of damage, so Dark Elven banner might be better overall, but you usually really really rely on firing off an endless stream of Depths Belows so YMMV.

I lost my last match to a Valkyrie, Justice, Mab team. I had him down to just Mab, but she had 192 attack, and I missed a skull match. So close! For green, I am testing Draakulis, Famine, Spirit Fox, and Soothsayer and a Kraken based team with Giant Spider with the red/green tree guy from Forest of Thorns and Sylvanmora. Draakulis and Famine are a killer combo, only because they are both pretty OP and get almost all of the mana. Soothsayer helps power up Draakulis, and has some useful traits.

For that green bonus event a while back I ran the following: Draakulis Finley Soothsayer Mercy It is pretty strong and I plan on using it again for tomorrow. I used the Blackhawk banner too, so you constantly have Soothsayer ready to cast. Finley combos pretty well with Draakulis because it's really easy to find a 4 match that works with a 3 color, and removing skulls keeps him alive long enough to get a cast off. After that when Draakulis has 150 health he's not going anywhere.

I'm torn. After a one-hour match against Khorvash/Valk/Justice/Mab (I won with the skulls destroyed by Silvermaiden's spell  ), I pretty desperately want Mercy on today's team. On the other hand, if I use Mercy I shouldn't also use Krystenax.So, Orion*** Nyx* Sylvanimora*** Mercy*** Krystenax*** Dark Maiden*** Spirit Fox*** Sylvanimora*** ?
