No idea, with the new content for King's Raid, I've only played it for about an hour this morning. You start off with with SR chars and get an SSR as a reward or something. Judging by all the other players rocking to same hero as their friend character I'm guessing it's the same reward.

I ended up getting an SSR Ashley on my free pull. Is this the free one you're talking about? or are you referring to the free SSR Rebecca?

Yeah he's almost certainly referring to the SSR Rebecca which is the pre-registration/launch reward.

I went and pulled using my initial gems and got a SSR Deimos, who seems like a decent enough healer who also auto-heals an ally after he deals damage.

Rarity and star level don't seem to correspond. Interesting. I kinda like it so far, I enjoy being able to play it vertically so it looks more like I'm just looking at my phone rather than playing a game.

The character evolving and leveling set up is similar to the 7 knights game. It gets really annoying.

I went ahead and made a guild: GoonTang

At the moment it looks like the max member size is 10. I'm not sure if that increases if we level up the guild.

Go ahead and apply - if you don't have "SA" or something obviously goony in your name, just post here and I'll accept your application.

As always with these games there is a flood of information to absorb.

I already have 2 6* SSR characters at level 50 and I'm only rank 8. Everything dies in 1 hit.

I figure there's probably a wall coming up but am I missing something or am I progressing way faster than I should be? or are my SSR's worthless (6* Rebecca and 6* Ashley).

Foolish child of man...
After reading all this,
do you still not understand?
Thoughts from a few weeks on Tap Wizard:
  • This is good, I haven't gotten stuck on a good idle game in a minute.
  • I'm super unclear on what bonuses are additive or multiplicative with which other bonuses. If I have a "+20% ice damage" bonus and four copies of Torrent for a x1.20 bonus, is that x1.4 damage or x1.44 damage?
  • Small but easily reproduced glitch spotted - animated projectiles stop animating if you reflect them.
  • My numbers go up

I'm looking for something to scratch the same itch that was scratched back in the old day by Spelltower and Bookworm. Spelltower isn't on the google store, everything similar I find from a quick search has reviews panning it for having massive numbers of ads. Are there any good solo word games out there?

Also I haven't messed with Android gaming in a while and I'm having a really hard time finding games that aren't terrible. The Play Store is useless for discovering things you actually want.

this sale might (or might not) coincide with the big GOG sale going on now. this game and its sequel are both on sale on that site for a few more days. i got it there because i am an Old Gamer who always feels like they're fumbling around in multi-platform games that exist both for controllers and touchscreens :corsair:

Hmmmm...I probably should have asked this first:

In Knights Chronicle is there any reason to max a hero before evolving it?

Roid666
Jul 18, 2010
I think you lose the levels after evolving, so no.

Fenris13
Jun 6, 2003
The first time for each tier of a hero that you max level, you get crystals. So you want to max level each hero once before evolving them or using them as fodder. This really adds up in the early game.

So trying to level skills of a character with its duplicate has a chance to fail. Happened to my very first pulled Knight.
This is super dumb and reset my enjoyment levels to zero.

Unless you wanna burn 6* heroes to level the skills.

I'd be fine with Gacha if so many games didn't also rely on you getting multiples of the same super rare one to merge.

That's part of the appeal of King's Raid. You get to pick from a pool of 6 heroes in the inn to start working towards (30~ seconds a day, two weeks~ total), and you never need duplicate heroes. You can however use duplicate unique weapons and treasures to scale up poo poo, and 5* is basically whale territory (failure rate starring up gear ->4/5* is brutal). But to get 0-3 stars is totally reasonable for any particular hero you want to work on at a time, and they're pretty generous with free summons/currency to try your luck for random ones. Otherwise unique weapons can be selected slowly with arena points, or one of the many random or selectable tickets they hand out.

Premium currency is still useful for reseting limited entry dungeons if you don't want to spin for a shot at UW/UTs but you don't really have to hope you obtain someone or their base gear, it's just a matter of working towards if you want someone specific.

This is also where that Might and Magic Elemental Guardians does right. You don't need specific duplicates, at least once they implement the ability to select or respec your Evolve random 1 of 2 passives, just random creatures of the same element + a somewhat limited but not super rare item.

They would find another way to enforce that rarity. I assume they figure out the general amount of playtime/money it should take to unlock a given thing, and work backwards to implement the mechanics to make people spend that.

i just can't handle gacha games where you have to fuse dupes of characters that are already incredibly rare. it's always an awful system and only people with brain worms or inhuman luck can take advantage of it.

Here's an APKMirror link if you want to sideload it, but I don't know if it works. If it does there's a further 900mb internal download when you launch it.

I'm finding a lot of these leaked/soft launched apks from big name publishers now require a region check or a license check from Google Play to work so I assume that's what happened here.
