So I just got my first orange, a Divine Ishbaala. The random googling I've done makes her seem rather divisive. Double gem changer sounds awesome, am I missing something here? Also, how do you you build a team around her, just stuff that feeds her or should I bee looking for something else?

All I see in the in-game guild chat is Porktree's last two messages about floor 8. Do we have the current layout anywhere else? Edit: Disconnect/reconnect to chat fixed it. Bandire fucked around with this message at 18:45 on Dec 3, 2018 |

Also, how do you you build a team around her, just stuff that feeds her or should I bee looking for something else? Double Gem changers are generally really good - Ishbaala is one of the better ones because giving Enchant is pretty powerful. Double changers are great because you can look for two opportunities to make a Match-4 or -5. Glaycion is one of the few that beats her imo because he makes Doomskulls instead of skulls, so he's much more explodey - and particularly beneficial if you have a Duststorm active. For newbie, I would recommend Titan + Mountain Crusher (Get your mastery up to 17 brown and maybe beat Khaziel too to unlock? it's in the upper right area). Titan is a really great all-rounder because brown matches give it barrier (tank the next hit with 0 damage), and Mountain Crusher is pretty good at +0, and once you have it upgraded to create Duststorms (more likely to see brown gems drop) it gets absurd. So: Hero - Titan / Mountain Crusher (Brown) Divine Ishbaala (Yellow / Purple) and last two are up to you - you probably want to cover the open colors. If you get your Mountain Crusher upgraded, it's pretty okay to have some overlap on Brown, because you makes TONS of it. An okay pair would be: Giant Spider (Blue / Green) - Makes purple gems to feed Ishbaala Spiritdancer (Blue / Purple) - Makes green gems Ishbaala was nerfed a few months back, and the most powerful way to build her uses a weapon that isn't really available right now, Divine Protector The team that it uses is: Divine Protector / (Priest probably?) Infernus Ubastet Divine Ishbaala and it's pretty absurd once it gets rolling. I would imagine you could do something similar with Mountain Smasher / Titan instead of Divine Protector, but it wouldn't be nearly as awful for opponents. Infernus and Ubastet are both Mythics (extremely hard to get) and are Divines along with Ishbaala - so they get the benefit of starting at 40% mana from Ishbaala's third trait to help get the explode-train rolling. Priest counts as a Divine for the buffs.

Thanks for all that! I'll certainly give this a try. I originally adapted my Enchant team to: Yellow++/Red+/Green- Sifu Yuan (It's max level so the new ones don't die) Monkey Disciple Divine Ishbaala Diviner It's a risky team adapted from a random youtube video I found (They used Peng instead of Sifu) in that if I get the matches I can keep going, otherwise MD misses and the opponent gets a ton of matches instead. I just need more souls...

Solkanar512 posted:Thanks for all that! I'll certainly give this a try. That's a cute team - although I suspect its gimmick was to get that sweet Shentang Kingdom Bonus, and kingdom bonuses aren't really that worth it. You also aren't using a Hero - which means if you're using this to grind, you aren't leveling up your Class. You need to win hundreds and thousands of matches to unlock the higher level traits, some of which do serious work (e.g. at Class Level 70, Titan can explode a random yellow gem on 4- and 5-match.) Reasons Penglong is doing a lot more work in that guy's team that you may not realize: 40% Skull Damage Reduction - This is pretty important, this lets him tank 2-4 hits instead of getting blown up in 1 or 2 random skull matches He does AOE damage, boosted up to +8 of his base if all 4 of your dudes are enchanted (or +6? he probably doesn't get to cast while enchanted, I think enchanted falls off at max mana). Nothing in your team is really paying you off for being enchanted though - it's almost a negative, because when your guys are already enchanted, your spells that enchant them aren't giving extra bonus. You could probably find a better unit to sub in for Monkey Disciple - like you said he's pretty risky, and with lower level troops and grinding out slow matches, you probably want to have something safer. One of the troops that says "Take an Extra Turn" would be good. If you hit the Filter icon on the right side of your Troop menu, you can sort by "Spell Effect" and choose "Extra Turn". Early on I really liked Boar Rider, because not only do you get an extra turn, sometimes you can use the ability to make a skull match, if there's a stack of 3 skulls with a one-gem map, and you delete the gap row.

Floor 10 Green Unlock Blue Purple Gold edit: also, doesn't the Mountain Crusher's 6th upgrade work against you; creating a dust storm over rides the doomskull storm. edit2: chat just showed up; sorry about the floor 8 confusion.

Having more Browns from Dust storm means that mountain crusher will explode the board, then give you a real chance to match brown to fill it up again while barriering your titan, and a good chance at an extra turn. If there are doom skulls falling from the sky I really really want my titan to be barriered

I've yet to drop a match up to Floor 11 with Crusher/Glaycion/Ubastet/Emperor Khorvash I think I would prefer Khorvash over Fire Giant - mana drain in a pinch, and keeps everything stunned pretty constantly (Dooms are immune to both, natch) But the Doom itself is rarely the problem

Daft newbie questions ahoy Are the guild tasks literally just "contribute this much gold" or is there more to them than that? (I'm following thread advice and ignoring them till I'm done with kingdoms, but curious nonetheless) Do the guild guardians have any more functionality besides giving me (enormous, relative to my level) mana surge bonuses? And do their levels ever reset? At level 63 is there any point my even trying to play anything in the "games" tab besides treasure hunt and arena?

I've switched back to a trusty Mountain Crusher Titan setup to clear level 13 so far. It's supported by Glaycion, The Deep King (tons of better options, but it uses blue and I actually have it), and Nobend Brothers to make use of my brown mana overflows. Re: questions, yeah that's all guild tasks are, a pit for the guild to throw gold into. Guardians have some passive bonuses that you can see if you click on them in the overview tab, and that's it. Their levels don't reset. As for what to do, kingdom quests are alright, and some give decent troops. Daily games and weekly guild events are worth dipping your toe into as well.

The last 'chat' update tells me floor 17 is orange for the unlock, I can tell you floor 16's unlock is green. The chat is crap. I liked it better when we were updating the thread. I swapped out Jarl for Ubastet, and I think that works better; I did have a loss on 16, but that was an rng thing with the dwarven girl and me not getting any brown matches.

What part of it is troubling you? The color brown has some awesome tanks (Gorgotha, Glaycion, or Stonehammer) to absorb skull hits, and it has Sylvanimora who can keep the enemy troops entangled. Diviner can help with clearing off Frozen, but has color overlap with Sylvanimora. Use any Mang-like weapons you have at the high levels since completely stripping an enemy’s armor is huge when they have 200+. I have been using Trickster’s Shot as suggested before: Gorgotha Glaycion Trickster’s Shot (Titan class, but not mission-critical since it doesn’t start up front) Ubastet Have not had any problems so far. Ubastet could be swapped for something else without ruining the team. Edit: my constant worry is rooms with Spirit Foxes and Ancient Golems. If we ever get scrolls of fireball, that’s what I am saving them for.
