Interesting. I had no idea. I have about 100 levels to go still. Also Ragnagord is a solid red troop that gets overlooked. He has Fast, so you can potentially blow up the whole board after one turn.

) took me above level 1000. Turns out leveling up beyond that nets you an event key and some glory, instead of new mastery.

Bandire posted:Gold keys are commons and rares. Combined with this recent post on guild chests... Grundulum posted:The "common" troops are guild guardians. They drop from all chest levels at roughly 50% chance. This continues until all six guardians are mythic rarity with four copies, at which point they are all six removed from the drop tables. ...covers it all. Good info for the next OP. I forgot to save the post which detailed when is a good time to spend the various chest keys that someone wrote up whenever the last kingdom came out... anyone able to quote it? Since hearing about the next kingdom this summer I figured I might as well start stockpiling.

Hey I actually found a team I sort of like: Warlock Hero with Scythe Warg Giant Spider Draconian Monk At the very least it's making leveling up easier. But now that I'm sitting on 420 gems, and already have the Dragon Armor, I'm heavily considering getting the Celestial Armor. If not, then what should I be spending my gems on?

Buying Celestial Armor isn't a bad idea. It's nice to have if you are farming souls, and a 500 gem one time purchase isn't that much in the grand scheme of things. I haven't used mine in probably a year though. Once you have your main troops leveled and other good and potentially useful troops leveled, souls become less of a priority. It does take a really long time to run out of things to spend souls on, but you hit that point eventually. Seconding triple Druid Valk team as a good early speed run team. Druid needs its Fast trait to take full advantage though.

Morter posted:How the gently caress do you even get 3 Valkyries that fast Its three druids and one Valkyrie. Traited druid starts with half mana, and everything has water spirit. One blue match should fill a druid the rest of the way, and a Valk cast would fill them all. Druid does a lot of damage per cast and is a great early troop.

Thanks, I'll try dumping some souls into those teams. I had enough stones to trait druid and scale guard. They are a bit weak without levelling it seems (also I'm short a wolf)

 Major change just went through this morning. One troop defenses no longer exist. Instead, if a player has a defense team with less than four units, a different team from their list of 20 is chosen at random. However, the team score is not updated. So your 5,400-point opponent might be someone in the mid game, or it might be an endgame player whose single Elspeth has now been replaced by Psion***/Famine***/Death***/Famine***. Scout before every match until this all settles out!

I dont understand what the point of the one troop teams are, particularly with suiciders. Are they just feeding you kills?

The opponents you (used to) get are influenced by the team score of your defense team. Late game players with 9000+ max team scores see a lot of the current meta: Famine(s), devours, or death mark. There is extremely little variety, and a whole lot of frustration. By setting a single troop late game players lower their team score and get a greater variety of opponents. The suiciders are/were a concession to opposing players, making the matches even easier.

So if they clear out all their teams and fill them with low/untraited troops, they should get similar opponents?

They don't fill a team at random with troops the defender has. They choose one of the other 19 teams that player has. You may wind up playing against their maximum-griefing Guild Wars defense team since it was drawn at random after the PVP system rejected the single Elspeth.

Yeah you won't need a ton. Commons only take a few. Guardians, single color hero classes, and the guild wars reward troops will be the only troops that use a significant amount of single color Arcanes.

I bought 5 glory packs, just for the new troop and gold. Saving the majority of my glory for arcane stones to trait out Famine and Draakulis. I'd trait out the hero if it didn't require so many runic stones. I don't think I've used my hero in almost 400 levels.

There are some hero classes that have useful traits and gimmicks. Deathknight is pretty good for a jerk defense team. Mechanist is really good for an all mech team. There are a few others as well.

Munkaboo posted:Just started playing... What exactly should I be doing and saving for starting out? Post the invite code from your settings screen so you can get into a guild. That'll help you out the most right now, because you'll get the benefit of everyone else completing guild tasks. Starting out, a good team strategy is to find your best damage dealers, something to feed it mana, and maybe something to either buff it or protect it. That's going to depend mostly on what you've collected so far. It's important to have decent color coverage, otherwise the second half of your team is going to do nothing because they never have the mana to cast. Here's my swing at something to put in a new first post for newbies: What to Spend Gold: Your first priority is to unlock all the kingdoms, and raise them all to level 5 or 6. That will give you better chances with the tributes rolling in, the rewards you collect from your home kingdom that refresh every hour. Once you reach that level, you can split some gold into guild tasks if you want, but you should work on getting your kingdoms to level 10. Every kingdom gives a bonus skill point, and you should buy them in this order: Magic, Attack, Life, and Armor. Once you max out all the kingdoms, the only thing to spend gold on is guild tasks. Don't even think of buying gold keys; you should get enough of them from tributes, your guild, and just playing the game. Souls: Use these to level the troops you're playing first, and your hero class if you're using it. Then level the troops you think you'll use in the future, then just level everything else because troop levels will give your kingdom more stars. Raising levels is almost the only thing to spend souls on. It's pretty easy. Glory: The best thing to spend Glory (the PvP currency, looks like wings) on is the weekly troop pack in the glory rewards section of the shop. Glory keys come from guild tasks, ranking up in PvP, and the treasure map mini-game. Once you're in a guild you should be getting plenty of keys, so you won't need to buy them directly. Buying event keys with glory might be worth it if there's something you really want from the event chest. The troop packs include a new troop of course, but it also comes with an arcane traitstone, and you are going to want those eventually when you trait out your troops. Some people will save up glory so they can buy as many of the stones they need as they can get. Gems: The first thing to do with your gems is buy the 500-gem armor that boosts your gold. You might want the soul armor, too, but eventually (after a few hundred levels) you'll find your soul income is adequate, and more gold can always go to the guild. It's not much loss if you buy both, 500 gems can come quick in a guild. After you have your armor (or two), save up for the 50-packs of either gem keys or event keys, depending on your own choice. Event keys are good for chasing certain cards, and gem keys are more general. Gems are also spent on the later levels of Guild Wars sentinels, but I don't know how much that's really worth. Guild Seals: When you're in a guild, make sure you go into the guild screen and collect your seals at least once a day or at least at the end of every time you play. It's the single biggest contribution you can make to your guild, even if you're not pouring money into the guild yet. You can collect 1500 seals a week, but once you've claimed them they're yours until you spend them. As the guild as a whole claims seals for the week, the guild chests will have better rewards. Gem Boiz and Gem Blossoms generally reach the 20,000 a week level. At that level, the guild chests hold troops from Rare to Mythic plus the guild guardian cards. Spend your seals once the guild peaks towards the end of the week for the best rewards. Kevos Setzer fucked around with this message at 15:36 on May 30, 2017 |

1: join a goon guild (Monday loot explosion is a massive boost) 2: work at unlocking kingdoms and getting them to level 5 3: save gems for the top level armour (about 2 weeks in the guild) Make sure you collect your guild seals but don't bother with guild tasks till you have got all kingdoms over 5 at least. I suggest building a team that works for you out of any orange cards that drop for you and then dumping souls and traitstones in, it'll take a while to build up a full card pool and souls/traitstones are the main bottleneck Pvp is the best source of cash, either in arena or with your own team once you build something up a bit

Oh, never ever spend gold on chests. Once you have the two 500gem armours you should spend gems on gem chests 50 at a time

Synthbuttrange posted:The week's buffs dont seem that great. Anything I might be missing? Not really. The Raksha are not all that interesting, although some of them scale incredibly well because their skill is based on your opponent's stats. The new legendary from event chests might be interesting because she scales on your entire team's magic.

Not sure about Terraxis, looks potentially useful if his gem colors match up? Sharkey is for a gold powered team. Not great on his own, you need teammates that generate gold to power him up like Pirates or Tyri.

Terraxis has a slot in one of my favorite PVP teams: Dragon Banner War Sphinx (Impervious) Infernal King Alchemist (Fire Link) Terraxis (Fire Link) A single red match at the start of the game can fill Alchemist, and then you're off to the races. And War Sphinx is Impervious, so you can safely take hits from Wraith***, or match skulls against Bone Dragon***.
