Probably! I never read discworld, but I'm a sucker for stupid pop culture puns in games (lookin' at you WoW), so the employees in this game are great. Love that Georg Martin is a guy who makes Ice and Fire wands.

One last Hero Park tip: If you get a high enough rank on the daily quests you get a boss monster. When you stick him in a dungeon heroes will steadily come into your town even without spending unicorn energy. They're totally random but it's good to save it for when you get a timed quest and don't have enough energy left to complete it. Also I'm pretty sure every hero will go to that dungeon, kill a monster, loot an item, then fight the boss until they run out of health potions. Make sure you have a lot of slots in that dungeon because it backs up the queue considerably since they stay there so much longer.

Just had the filithiest Arcane Labyrinth run in AFK Arena, for context my guys are at 160 legendary/legendary+ at best
Got both the Fire/Icebringer and Sun/Moonstones early in the run, picked up a Rosaline at a camp and decided screw it, never even tried the hard mode at the end of the 2nd floor before.
What do I run into early on? A camp with a Mythic+ level 172 Baden
Rosaline kept refilling his energy constantly, so every fight from then on turned into a phantom shitshow that caused the worst slowdowns I've ever seen in anything I've used my phone for

I also never lost a single party member till the very final fight, Wrizz was a joke as well.

That said I am not touching that mode again anytime soon, fairly sure any other Mythic + pull would not have let me deal with all the BS that throws at you, didn't seem to reward THAT much more either, coins from Wrizz aside.

I wish there was someway to see playtime on Android because I'm sure this tops my playtime on my phone, and probably a lot of PC games too.


For labyrinth runs, peaks of time, and the new Voyages these relics will make it cake usually: Fire/Icebringer and Sun/Moonstones

For hard mode Wrizz, he seems to melt if you get/have Kaz and get her relic that makes all her attacks poisonous which also stacks.

I hardly ever do hard mode though, sometimes it goes smoothly, other times I use every last Dura's Tears to almost get through it.

My main team is usually Brutus/Shemira on the front, Arden, Nemora, Lyca on the backline. I'll switch it up for Belinda, Fawkes, and a few others if needed for faction bonus or whatever.

You should pick the 5 you will use the most and then level them roughly equally. The resonating crystal will take care of the other randoms. If you really want to minmax, just level heroes that can hit L+ so you dont need to relevel them when you get to the current cap, but you can recycle them easily enough so its not really needed. Having said that, Saveas is a beast, Vedan and Shemira make a good combo, so do Belinda and Rosaline. Apparently Arden is one of the few heroes who can get to 160 and still be effective at even higher levels.

I know its been around a while but The Quest has been eating up all my free time recently, its just so good. I downloaded it years ago as it was recommended (from this thread) as a good offline game to play on plane trips or travelling but when I tried it I got turned off by its old school graphics and control scheme. I recently decided to give it another try and found out that its actually a super good RPG and has ridiculous amounts of content in just the base game before even getting to all the expansions. If anyone does pick it up I would recommend looking up a guide first as it has no tutorial and is very open worldly. Also save lots.

Focus all of your resources on Shemira, at the expense of every else if need be. You won't regret it. Even at Chapter 20 she is still carrying my team almost entirely, the other 4 only exist to keep her alive long enough to cast her Ult. Her shards are available from the Labyrinth shop, and other than maybe one purchase of Nemora, who is also pretty good, you should be priotise buying Shemira shards until she is Ascended tier.

I will gainsay this if you get lucky with another similar quality carry. When I reset my E Shemira and put her XP and resources into my L+ Belinda I took off through stages and haven't looked back. The fact that Shemira's only guaranteed once a month can cause a lot of delay if you basically focus on her exclusively and ignore characters like Belinda, Saveas, etc. while sitting on an under-ascended Shemira.

Even at 141 I still get more work out of my Belinda than Shemira (L+ vs L now). She only gets truly absurd at 161 when her ult heals her while active.

I think I screwed up ascending Mirael, and I don't have any frontliners better than Hogan. I'm stuck at around L100 with elite Ulmus, Elite+ Hogan & Raine, and Legendary Mirael & Nemora.

Mirael's fire shield thing is useful but I feel like I really want to gun for a Belinda / Lucius combo that is most likely never going to happen because Lucius will not drop outside of the labyrinth.

I will confirm Belinda is a beast. My whole setup is basically formed around her right now. I have her, then I have Rosaline constantly healing, buffing and giving her energy, those creepy twins hasting over and over again and Estilda and Lucius guarding out front. It's mostly worked well with the advantage of getting an all Lightbringers bonus. This is what I currently have

Yeah, I run Brutus/Hogan/Belinda/Rosaline with a rotating support slot; all of Arden, Tasi, Fawkes, Nemora, and Lyca get used from time to time to try and break walls. I'd love Lucius and the Twins, but that's gacha.

I'm just letting Saveas do all the nuking for now with the usual supporting cast of tree friends (Namora, Tasi, Arden), and Brutus tanking. Once I hit Saveas' ceiling I guess I'll have to re-evaluate. Hopiong something good will drop before then.

Usually once Saveas hits his ceiling of 160 you should have a Legendary or higher Shemira who can take over at 161.

Yes it does actually! Its in the options, although when I tried it I found it was a little difficult to press the I and II buttons that switch your weapon sets because they are right at the left edge of the screen and my phone case makes it hard to press the edges. It also plays in landscape and portrait mode. Landscape looks better and the UI is more spread out but I normally play in portrait because I can then play it one handed.

Polytopia and the suspiciously similar Hexonia are good basic Civ-likes. I've been enjoying playing them while watching TV. Stardew Valley costs a bit more but is a fully fleshed out game. If you like soccer at all, Score! Hero is a fun puzzle game. You trace the pass with your finger, watch the receiver move the ball, then choose the pass again when he stops. It is the only game with a cooldown timer that I have patience for because I'm usually ok with putting it down after 20 minutes or so.

If anyone has any non-Gatcha/Anime girl puzzle games, I'd also like to know. It feels like there's been a dearth of decent games for several months.
