One thing I've noticed since passing level 40 is connect fights timing out. People start a 5 star connect but have too little DPS (or low DPS joins). If the final battle starts with less then 2 minutes left they seem to fail. It's much safer doing the 4 star version for tokens.

Yeah, at level 47 I still just do 3* and 4* for tokens. 5* I can usually complete but if I join one, it's a toss-up between just getting 30 connect tokens (meh) or getting that + like 30 boss tokens. Meanwhile it takes a lot more time and I can't auto through it.

My advice (in general, not to you specifically Ratzap) is not to do 5* until you are a higher level/have a more powered up team. If you join a 5* and see some like, level 42 hosting it, just leave. Aegir is particularly bad right now though, because like Ratzap mentioned she just takes forever to take down. I was in a group with two 50s and myself (46 at the time) and we made it with like a minute to spare. Normally for other bosses it's a lot faster.

Yeah I only did 5* once to unlock the mission diamonds. Between connects crashing and poor DPS it's not worth the hassle for me. I got a tentaclemail (kind of something you'd expect in a cliche anime but I digress) and the soul so I can just do them when I'm out of stam now.

Those new level up packages looked nice though so I got the ones I was able to. The stamina alone is great and will let me purple a handful more of my decent heroes.

Chapter 20; the big bad boss of 20-5 is Surtr, and its just him. The problem is beating him in the time alloted, since he has a very fat health bar.

Is there some way to check transactions? Over the last few days I've been losing 100-200 gems at a time when I log in and I have no idea how since I'm not buying anything. I want to make sure I'm not clicking on something accidentally but I'm not noticing any benefits from a purchase anywhere.

There's nothing that should be draining your diamonds but I don't think there's any list of diamond purchases either. I'd make extra sure you're not spending on stuff like:
- buying orbs etc with diamonds instead of mana at the trader
- rushing timers, like arena, onslaught chests or onslaught hero refresh
- trying to do a quest while not having enough stamina and buying a stamina refill

I'd suggest contacting their support and asking them if they have a list of most recent transactions or if they could tell you where your diamonds went. I've never contacted ATeam's support so I have no idea how helpful they'll be but it can't hurt to try.

Thanks, I figure it's the first one since that's easy to mistakenly hit. It's just weird it's happened several times in the last few days but I figure it's me and I'd like to know what I'm doing.

I saw your post and it urged me on to finish the available story too. I failed Surtr first try with literally 1 second left. I used a Thor merc and my best heavy hitters for the next try and had 23s left when I killed him.

Ateam seem to be quite smart about cashing in. Resetting the first time buy bonus is likely to net them a load of cash again (I know I'm sorely tempted once more but I'll probably hold off till next month).

I stopped doing the Onslaught at floor 116, with a 20% stat bonus on top of the huge team gap it's just not worth the effort. It'll be back again soon enough.

BTW, Smorbol still has one space.

It's crazy because just a few days ago I was idly thinking about how they could make a bunch of money by resetting the first-buy bonus and that's exactly what they ended up doing. It gets general whales who had bought it before to buy it again after, and anyone who is only sort-of whale to consider spending more than they normally would. For what it's worth the first-buy bonuses tend to be a good deal.

I stopped around 140 or 141 I think. I lost my mojo when like, my latest three resets netted me no chests. Before that I would get on average one ruby chest and those were allowing me to work towards 10k tokens for extra gear. Tomorrow there is maintenance for "campaign preparations" so I think they will be opening chapters 21 & 22 soon.

Painstaking Thor merc use got me to 123. I even blew crystals on a reset because I really wanted the Valhalla sword, no dice though. I did end up buying a second set of Aesir tears, but I'm less than enthused with them. I see them work OK sometimes, but all too often it seems like either a bunch of units hit at once or maybe multihit abilities bull through its effect, because usually the unit using it dies and stays dead. Maybe if I upgrade the skill a little more they'll do better

I got mine to skill level 3 and it's done a good job twice in the arena that I've seen. Heim should be dead but isn't, pops another GP and my lot cream the other team.

I'm done with the 3* special pulls too now. It gave me 4 Blast sp X for the cannon girl in 2 pulls - hello 5* cannon. Pew pew ensues.

I think the 1500 diamond summon is a pretty good deal, yeah. The holiday versions of the units are not that spectacular. They're just not loads better than what's already out there and holiday units have two drawbacks:
- they can't equip their special equip (for instance Mochi God Thor can't equip Mjolnir), which is too bad because those are typically the strongest equips a character can have
- unless you are a mega-whale and willing to blow tons of money doing these pulls over and over (or get spectacularly lucky I suppose), they take forever to rank up through hero quests

Like, Vali isn't bad but most people probably already have a bunch of other ranged units they are much farther ahead in equipping/orbing/ranking (Canon, Wolfgang, Matisse, Ranco, whoever) that are just as good. And Mochi God Thor is just a really strong single target, so he'll probably be good at certain connects and he can fill some arena niches but he's not really something people should try hard to get.

Here were my pulls, just for fun:

The first pull was pretty good, the rest were underwhelming.

If people are willing to spend money, you can get Mani soul crystals (and even her X equipment) by spending $1 and/or $10, which imo isn't a bad deal, but I am also a phone p2w bitch so YMMV.

What else... oh yeah, four times a day, we will get either stamina or diamonds in our mail box that expires within an hour. This happens at 2am/pm and 8am/pm PST, 5am/pm and 11am/pm EST.
Connects are kind of challenging. So are the new story chapters. And player level raised to 55. Dangit, I was 48, excited to hit 50. Guess I'll just have to keep progressing. :3:

For those not in Smorbol (or not reading guild chat), Clocks mentioned a very important point. Hrungnir 3* and up heals from ATK damage.

I've been in 2 5* versions today alone with teams using Heimdall/Thor etc where you can see the red bar going back up. I beat one 4* where I did 4 times the damage of the other teams with ATK heroes - the damage calculation seems to add the heals back to your running total as a negative number.

Anyway, thanks Clocks, without the message in guild I would have been pretty surprised by the failures.

Also, because i had this problem for a bit, when fusing a weapon that is equipped, make sure you select that one to upgrade rather than the new one. For whatever reason, even if both items are the same and the same level, you must use the unequipped item as the fuel.

I whaled it up a fair bit. No Odin but I got Luca (to 4 stars), 5 star'd a bunch of my others and even got a 10 pack of Skadi's. It gave me the X version of Odins weapon but no Odin, bloody tease.
