Why the gently caress is the Spin and Skip buttons in Luck be a Landlord not at the same spot?
The game is just a deckbuilder, and like 99% of all the deckbuilders you just want to play a skinny deck most of the time.
Don't make me strain my thumb reaching for the default action of just skipping bloating my deck.

Small Snail Game tip: when you hit tier 4 on any of your forms, you want to spend all of your cells beelining for the leadership bonus in the middle. It's that perfect storm of this being the moment that you start to actually run out of cells, while at the same time you start opening domains and minion stats start being something you actually want to prioritize. I made the mistake of prioritizing HARD stats and now I'm sitting here desperately trying to scrounge up some demon cells so I can get 10 more leadership and keep pushing through Koryeo domain. :v:

On the bright side, a new event starting means I got a huge power spike. I think I jumped from about 350k to 460k over the course of a few hours.

Yeah you want the leadership and the mutant and demon minion boosts. Hard stats after that.

Also, I barely noticed that the Demon Form (which is generally the strongest for quite a while) starts to get bonuses at tier 4 for specifically awakening Art relics. (awakening as in, using a pile of fragments on their final upgrade after they're maxed out on reagents). Like 1 Art relic awakening gives +50 attack at Tier 4, and then by Tier 5 if you have 10 of them awakened it's a 500 Attack bonus on top of the relic bonuses themselves. And awakening also helps you go down the Leadership tree, giving some very solid minion upgrades.

It's kinda easy to miss how important that part is; since blue fragments will bottleneck you super hard early on, make sure to use most of them on awakening blue Art relics.

Upgrade the generals that give more Intel and prestige first. Then from there upgrade stats. It will take a little bit.

They come back every time you restart exploration. Unlock them all as you get them and the best ones to level up first are the ones that increase intel and prestige, and the one that reduces prestige cost. There's an intel that let's you respect the dead for more prestige, get that asap. Also get the ones that improve the squares on the board, you'll need a lot of time intel.

When you get stuck, go to back and do some Yamato runs to increase ninjutsu and get mirror shards.

The generals themselves kinda suck as far as stats go, even levelled up, so just in general go for the generals that are useful beyond their stats. The prestige and Intel ones already got mentioned, but I also think the B-Tad general is worth maxing out early, and you want to max out Kiddo Kong Rong and Cyclops Xiahou D, as they give you a relic and organ respectively. All the 7th generals in each line are great as well, as (depending on the general) they give intel, incense, and partners.

And of course you want to max them all out eventually because that's the only way you're gonna get Lu Bu fully levelled up.

I feel like I'm doing something wrong in Cathay because I still haven't been able to beat the 4th boss out of like 12 and I have all but the last row or two of generals unlocked and leveled. Maybe I should actually be paying attention to the formations or whatever that is.

You need the mirror on. Don't use the generals until lubu is maxed. Then go back with him to 100% the area.

The mirror is what I was referring to, but it does look like I already have that. Is the mirror what enables the ninjutsu upgrades and maxing all of those out is what was being recommended?

Yeah. At least the attack portion. Then if you are still losing do defense then healing. You will need to finish maxing it some point during cathary, but not until after you finish the rocket.

The mirror is a huge boost and will bring your primary relic to use outside of zone stuff. Lubu is supposedly thr best for finishing off apostles, but I haven't maxed mine yet to see if true.

I spent so long in Yamato that my mirror is almost maxed already. Thanks for the tips, I'll see if the generals make more sense now.

I feel like I hit a big wall halfway through Yamato. Progress slowed down a lot. My btads and food started running out. My stats are barely going up.

I think part of it was I ignored relics for a while except to activate them but I went through and started leveling up the ones I had the shards for and that helped a little bit.

But alas, it's a mobile game so it's probably just working as intended

Oh 1 question, all the different wtad bundles that pop up in the shop or when I progress thing x to point y. They seem like good deals, because they'll cost 1k but include 700 wtads so really it's 300 plus whatever else is in it. Are those a good buy or should I avoid them?

Make sure to upgrade your pond stuff too. Do not fo clone stuff until the rocket. The game is an idler so you will hit walls and just have to grind or wait until you get higher. Lucky pulls help too

Always save resources until the proper event week too. Check the wiki for this, but the order is lottery, wish coin, altar.

Kinda. They give a nice chunk of resources, but they are there to drain the w-tads.

There's one that costs 18k wtads for 9k wtads and 10 incense, if you ever want the notification on your mailbox to stop telling you the turtle needs it, it's a must buy.

It's honestly true way before you max him out; he gains 17 atk for every 20 on your snail, plus has a boatload of ignore def, so he roughly doubles your attack on targets. His biggest downside is that his defensive stats are genuinely terrible, so against major threats he dies super quickly. He's therefore best used on targets that don't do a lot of damage to you, but you want to kill quicker, so things like dominating apostles and saving neurolinks in manhunt.
