Early on it isn't as big of a deal, but late game players should save glory, gem, and guild keys for new Mythic Fridays. Event keys are best saved for new legendary troops. Its also best to get the guild seals up to the 40k level before using them to increase the odds on them. We are about 4500 short at the moment, so if you're at 1500 seals and have clan orbs use them. If you aren't at 1500 yet please grab some seals.

Pesterchum posted:So somewhere in the thread I saw that we should ask if each event is worth using event keys on or not, should I use any of them? This week’s event kingdom is Blackhawk. One of the two legendary troops from that kingdom is Kraken. Kraken is amazing if you can pair it with a looping duo/trio: the third trait means you’re constantly dealing damage to the opponent. This is a week to use event keys, sez I. Example: Kraken*** (meaning you need all three traits; use orbs of wisdom) Alchemist Hellcat Kraken*** Alchemist and Hellcat feed each other mana, and each time you make a four match you deal 6 damage to the entire opposing side.

Many places in the game give orbs of chaos. For example, look at Portal 4 of this week’s Raid event in the Guild menu. Whenever you collect an orb of chaos, it will turn into one of four different orbs: Orb of Growth (35%): increases the level of a troop, saving you some souls Orb of Wisdom (25%): unlocks the lowest locked trait on a troop, saving you traitstones (don’t use it to purchase the first trait if you can avoid it, since normally the second/third traits are more expensive) Orb of Clans (25%): gives you guild seals when used Orb of Ascension (15%): increases the rarity of the troop one level, saving you many sacrificed copies (try to only use it for getting a troop to legendary or mythic, since those cost the most copies)

Looks like Boiz hit the 40k mark last night. Sweeeet. Also, what are y'all using in the class event, I can't seem to hit upon anything that does rolling board controlling damage. Are you spending the 750 gems for the Runeforger weapon? It seems like a lot for a little.

porktree posted:This feels solid, I had the same thing but was running Lord Ironbeard instead of the Hero. Yeah, I'm pretty sure the Class Event is just 1 day. That said, it's probably still not worth the gems to get the new hammer, since you'll get it anyway eventually. I'm buying up to Tier 3, (which will get me to around Talent Level 20) but with the diminishing returns on class xp and talents I can't justify spending more gems than that. For the Raid Boss, I'm also using Hero with Mang Kendrala Kraken Scurvy Seadog with the Blue/Red banner. For hero class, I've been very happy with Titan. Fully traited, it starts with 50% mana, which means getting off the first mang hit earlier, and the level 40 Talent in the Stone Tree (which the Rune Priest also gets access to) gives you a barrier whenever you match brown gems. You're doing that anyway to fill the mang and it extends the hero's life expectancy incredibly. If you don't have Titan high enough level, I guess go with something that at least starts you with barrier. Honestly though, Titan is still going to be a good for future Raids/Invasions anyway, so you want to get on top of leveling it up soon.

Head over to the “Soulforge” panel of the “Games” menu. You’ll be able to upgrade it from level 1 to level 10 as you do battles. Each level lets you craft new stuff. Level 10, as you can see from the list of recipes, will let you exchange diamonds for mythic troops. Edit: while you’re poking around in the Games menu, check out the Dungeon. Three battles daily that give crafting resources. If you can deal with level 100+ troops in the Raid mode, you’ll handle Dungeon fights easily. Especially do these on Sundays, since that day has the best rewards. Grundulum fucked around with this message at 06:47 on Jul 7, 2018 |

In rough order of amazingness: Pharos Ra, Infernus, Famine, Elemaugrim, Gard’s Avatar (my personal opinion for new players; there are lots of other mythic troops that have very high utility). But before you look at mythic troops, look at making sure you have the best legendaries: Gorgotha, Emperor Khorvash, The Dragon Soul, Krystenax, Kraken, Queen Mab, Divine Ishbaala, and Queen Titania.

Do all the monster levels scale with you? I have run out of souls and I’m not sure where to farm more since it feels like everything is now 4+ levels higher than my team and it’s starting to feel like being able to win quest fights is depending more on luck than matching skills. I remember scouting an exploration area earlier and it was level 8 but now it has scaled up to 16 too

waffles beyond waffles posted:Arena is your best bet for souls. To expand on this, in Arena you choose three troops and make a team using your hero and those three troops. You then do matches until you accumulate 8 wins or 2 losses. Importantly for new players, you don’t need to own the troops you pick, and in the matches all troops (yours and your opponent’s) are level 15 and untraited—regardless of how that troop appears in your collection. So Arena is a great place to fight teams of roughly equal power, which makes it awesome for early players.

Some people horde them. You can see a player's total troops. I do the auto disenchant (or did), especially when I was grinding for Dawnbringer. You definitely keep getting them. The only exception to that rule is Guild Guardians, which stop dropping from Guild Chests once they are all at Mythic (and you have 4 copies). The new weapon looks like another viable alternative to Mang. It has a Mang-like effect, but applies the attack buff to the entire team. I highly doubt it's a 1:1 like Mang, but even a 4:1 would be decent. The invasion troop looks like another turkey, but at least he has Armored, not that I have 12 Arcane Forest to throw at him. The Orc Lord is a summoner, though, so it should be an OK week. The new Rare looks like a good Arena pick. Green/Yellow troops are pretty weak with a couple of exceptions, so no reason to go nuts buying trait stones. The beast lord stag guy and Shocktopus are probably worth traiting. For grinding explores this last week I threw the Hero on the 2x Firebomb/ Sunbird team. Seems like a good way to get XP for the new class and traits for any other class that you fancy. War and Peace isn't quite as good as Rowanne, but it works. And the hero Talents can offer some interesting utility.

For guild seals, I recommend you save them for weeks when a new mythic is released. This way you maximize the return on keys that don’t give you guild guardians (50% of them). Be warned that guild keys will give you all guardians until all six are mythic x4. So ascend them all as soon as you can, since the game won’t register “104 copies at legendary” as the same as “4 copies at mythic”.

tithin posted:How do I even get cards to ascend troops Unlock chests for more cards and duplicates.

tithin posted:How do I even get cards to ascend troops As Annointed said, opening chests gives you copies (and extra copies) of troops in the game. Periodically, you should go to your Troops list and sort by Upgradable. Any troop with a little blue arrow on its card can be ascended. This means sacrificing some number of copies of that troop in exchange for improving its stats and its maximum level. You can do this any time you like: ascension will always leave one copy of the troop after you burn the rest. Just be careful (and learn from others’ mistakes  ) if you have a team that uses two copies of a troop.

Oh nice, I finally noticed this thread. I am absolutely adoring the game after a couple weeks play, and consistently squeeze in a few rounds at least each day. My main team is shaping up really well, and I reached tier 1 PVP for the first time (which is not, I was sad to notice, as impressive as I first believed it would be). Currently putzing about with the soulforge, daily dungeons and a bunch more quests. This game is absurdly addictive.

(A) Yes, you get the event stone for a Fire Bomb (or Elspeth, for that matter) casting its spell. (B) Defeats in casual PVP are counted as victories for both players. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ That’s just how the game works.
