Shemira, Shemira, and Shemira. Once you're anywhere near 150, get your Shemira above 161 and everyone else 150ish. You'll catapult through entire chapters.

Boost Saveas, he'll carry you until you have a decent Shemira. Ira is another one who is great after level 41 because all of her attacks cause bleed, so once she supers it's a question of if you can just survive until the enemy team bleeds out.

I pulled a Gwyneth today from the wagon in labyrinth, and frankly she surprised me with how much damage she was putting out. Her and Shemira would both hit their ults as soon as the battle started and shredded pretty much every fight. I breezed through hard mode.

A lot of these heroes will rank high but when you use them they're trash. For a lot of them they became god tier or whatever after a certain level when they unlock a rank of whatever skill that makes them amazing. It also means that if she gets good at for example 180, she'll he fighting mythic and ascended heroes so a base purple won't be worth anything. I wish the tier lists reflected that.

The tier lists are more of a "who is worth sacrificing heroes to in order to ascend" guide.

Some of it depends on team composition too. A hero who is sub par in one team can excel in another.

A bit of math on the gacha vs. coin rush in Mario Kart

An average coin rush is almost exactly 400.
The 15 and 25 gem drives are equivalent multipliers, getting you about 160 coins per gem.

A pull from a set of ten is 4.5 gems. You'd get about 720 coins in rush for the same gems.

*New Info* Every pull averages 1596 coins in store cost at the start of the event.*

N.B. it's a real gacha, there's only 100 things in there at the start of an event so each pull changes these numbers.

Somehow I've managed to pull the shiny car in both Mario Kart banners in two pulls. And then I went and accidentally bought characters and karts in the shop that I thought were new but we're actually dupes for me. It's me, the stereotypical gacha gamer.

My pull rate on epics from faction scrolls is insanely low in AFK arena. It has to be something like 1-2%.Love getting 24 scrolls from beating chapter 20 and getting tons of greens and blues! It's happened multiple times already, too. Ugh.

You’d think for how uncommon faction scrolls are, you’d at least get blues or better. I’m seriously low on fodder at this point.

Yeah, I'm kinda in that boat. I need like one more copy of Shemira to jump her all the way from L to M+, but yeah I would knife someone for twenty mauler blues right now.

When you first start, if you get an epic version of a rare you're super mad. Then you get to the point where you're like "THIS IS THE GREATEST THING!". I still need some fodder to get Tasi from M to M+. Hopefully I get my two other copies of her so I can have my full ascended team.

I'm at that stage where pulling a hero who isn't in your regular roster is the worst. Cool, I got the new Wilder hero - maybe if I got three more you might make it onto my faction tower team.

Yeah this has 100% been my strategy so far based on thread advice. Saveas pretty much kills everyone each time, and hard fights basically always end with him killing the last 2-3 people alone.

OK, I'll start trying to get together stuff to ascend my Shemira.

Right now I am running w/ Hogan/Saveas/Lucius/Tasi/Belinda.

It sounds like for the post-160 I should replace Saveas with Samira.
Would replacing Hogan with Brutus work ok? I'm relatively close to getting a higher tier Brutus.

It seems like Tasi and Lucius are still good post 160 so they can stay, and Belinda is OK though not incredible.

Thanks for all the advice here, it helps a ton.

It’s best to focus on whatever ascended tier heroes you get the most copies of. This game really wanted me to use Thane so I got a ton of copies. I’ve got 4 Elite+ copies of Raine, but ehhhh, don’t want to waste the fodder.

If you get a lot of copies of Belinda she can wreck poo poo when paired with even a low ascension Raine, or especially Rosaline.

Granted, it's been a while since I played AFK Arena so things might have changed, but there was a "demon hunter" dude with a crossbow and a casket on his back that I found invaluable for higher end stuff. I can't think of his name, but one of his abilities effectively took an enemy out of the fight for a little bit, which was HUGE in some of the harder fights because it let you focus down other opponents faster without taking as much damage yourself.

Yeah, Fawkes is really good. Also good for telling Brutus politely to please gently caress off and die with his dispel ultimate.

Yeah Fawkes can be seriously effective, especially in PvP, I tend to lose to teams that include him, since Shemira is coffined and the rest of the team gets killed before she pops out, upon which she eats poo poo. Tasi has a similar ability but it doesn’t last as long.

Fawkes can remove Brutus’ immunity or Lucius’s shields as well if you wait to fire his Ult when they’re active.

If I fall, you don't get the head, right? If you lose the head, you're fucked!

If you're playing in ranked matches, people will be considerably higher level and more than likely more skilled. Regular Multiplayer matches aren't that bad.

The controls are well done, and I can at least go positive in 90% of matches. If you've played the CoD games since modern warfare, you'll be familiar with the maps and flow of the game, which can be a huge obstacle in fps games.

I joined a goonsquad808 clan because they made their symbol a grenade, assuming it was SA goons.

Yea I breezed through the whole thing till that fight and then had my rear end handed to me. I was quitting before I died to retry it till I didn't hit quit in time so now I gotta redo the whole thing. I'll just check the few relic chests and reset before I go through for good ones now that the fog of war is lifted.
