The best reason to complete Challenges and Quests is to level up your kingdom. Which is god-awful boring, and only offers a return for PVP. If you can level enough troops to 15, then gently caress the Challenges and Quests. Kingdom level 3 is fairly good. +5 to all masteries. Levels 1 and 2 offer more stats for your troops. So if you stack banner bonuses with troops from that kingdom and kingdom level bonuses, you can get an OK advantage. Unfortunately most Kingdoms don't offer a set of troops that would make a good team. They often share colors, for one thing. And many troops are just bad. Arena for Souls and Gold. PVP for even more gold! Quests for when you are bored of those two and want to read Blizzard level pop culture references. Challenges for when you hate yourself and want to take it out on yourself with a match three game. Arena is the best mode, offering the challenge of drafting, the limitations of using sub-optimal troops, and giving you a reason to use the Hero's huge weapon selection.

Probably not. Goblin King isn't that strong in the first place, and will be even worse if you have to fatties taking up space, making his already bad ability useless. Goblin, Goblin Shaman, Goblin Rocket, and GK would make a nice team though. Putting the Goblin in front will ensure he gets knocked out, thus making room for GK's ability.

Tony Homo posted:This is going to be a dumb question but when you log in the morning what things do you do first? I'm used to games where there are dailies which helps me keep in order what I should be doing but this game ISO new to me. My understanding is to just pvp most of the time. True? If I am not rank 1, then invade. If I am rank 1, then Arena. Rarely I will do quests, challenges, or treasure maps. Dump gold into guild tasks, dump souls into a troop. It's all the same basic game play, so I mostly try to maximize the rewards.

1337kutkufan6969 posted:Goblin Brigade: This team is the best. I plowed through three arenas last night to finish leveling them all to 15. So many extra turns! It takes a little getting used to always wanting to cast spells first, even over skulls or match four or fives. What kingdom do you use? Unfortunately brown/purple doesn't exist, which would be ideal. Double blue to power up Deep Stone in two matches, or double brown or purple, which would still be three matches for the Shaman. Green seems superfluous since Goblin is only 6 to power up. Running through the Zaejin quests now with a powered up Goblin team. Good fun!

Get as high of a rank as you can as soon as you are able after reset. When it resets, buy the special, and if you want you can get a map or two. By the next reset you should have enough, or be close enough, to get the next special. But yeah, your estimate looks accurate. But some weeks have two rewards, or you can always buy multiple of a troop if you desired. I stopped buying maps with Glory. I have a pile already and I rarely play treasure hunt. Never bought souls with it, because maps seem more efficient (perhaps not as many souls, but a chance at keys, etc.)

I unlocked... Dark Song? The new epic from the new Kingdom. At level 1 she does 7 damage, double against troops that use green. Not bad. I will have to farm up some souls to see how she scales. The troop you can buy with Valor from the weekly event looks very underwhelming, but I bought him anyway. Double damage to Fey is pretty narrow, even if a lot of players pick Elf for their race. I tried an Alchemist / Valkyrie team, with Druid and Banshee. I wasn't that impressed. My Goblin team kills faster and the extra turns are more reliable. It would probably work better with the hero with a purple weapon to tank. Druid is pretty great. I noticed a bug though. I used Valkyrie's spell, got a huge combo (at least 9 gems in an L shape) I should have received a mana surge, and filled up my mana on Druid in one shot. Instead I got 3 blue mana!

Wallet posted:Just a heads up that the stats that show up in the guild roster have a bug: I didn't have time to play for most of the week, but I still opened the game to get the free daily gold, and then dumped it into guild tasks. I happened to check the guild roster on Thursday, and noticed that it said I hadn't donated anything this week, and that I hadn't been online for four days. Completing an invasion seems to make it catch back up, though completing treasure maps doesn't for some reason. It's not login, even though its called that. It's last match played. I will hop on Steam later to do guild management for Gem boys. gently caress doing on my phone.

Gem boys now has 5 spots, and I promoted everyone who seemed to be active. Having no other metric to go by, I use donations and login. RIP ChickencowSA; I didn't kick you, and hope you come back, but I get it. So we now have full officers; feel free to spend tokens as you wish. If you like to play, come join us.

Run Arena when you can. Three or four arena runs of 8 wins will get enough souls to level up a troop to 15.

Yeah sorry if you got kicked and are still active. Its nothing personal, I'm limited by the tools they provide me. If last login in is a fortnight and gold donated is at 0 for the week, then I kick. From now on I will check the activity log to confirm the inactive members are truly inactive. But if you are only logging in to donate gold, perhaps your spot could be filled by someone who is really playing the game? That being said, my activity has slumped. The past two weeks I didn't hit rank one, and lost my long streak of daily login bonus gold. Diablo 3 is more fun!

OG Gem boys has 8 spots available. We could use some active players. Our completion rate certainly has slowed. We are platinum ranked, of course. Come join us. Bear Totem was expensive. Hopefully I can earn enough for the new troop as well. Or not. Not sure why I care, really. I almost never use them. If anyone wants to run Gem boys, speak up. My mobile gaming time has been destroyed by family, Daiblo 3, and crippling constipation.

We should probably combine guilds again. Gem boys has 8 open spots, and about 9 more inactives. So ~17 spots available? Thoughts? E: Kicked some loving slackers. 17 spots open. Lets merge! IDC which guild we merge in to. I assume Gem boys is higher ranked since its the oldest. If that matters at all. I just want more active players since my gem income has slowed.

grrarg posted:Gem Blossums is still pretty active and almost full. Unless there's another half-full goon guild floating around, sounds like the best bet is opening up Gem Boiz to pubbies. You are confused. There is "Gem boys" AND "Gem Boiz" I am the GM of "Gem boys" and have 17 open spots. I would like to absorb "Gem Boiz". Or any other goons who don't want to live under the oppressive regime of Gem Blossoms. "Gem boys" is the oldest goon guild, thus most likely the highest ranked (not that it matters).

I like the Trent, Alchemist, Valkyrie, Banshee team. So I spend my souls to level up the kingdom I use. Alchemist is the key to getting the combo going, so I use the new Orc kingdom (R/B). Drake Rider can be used instead of Banshee too, but its not quite as circular.

Grundulum posted:Wow. Some big changes here. I'm not keen on gold being the way to level up kingdoms; it essentially invalidates souls as an endgame currency, as well as making players choose between their kingdoms and their guild. This new mastery system combined with the new difficulty levels could be bonkers. Having a ~50% mana surge chance on every match will lead to earlier procs of those legendary critters that self-sustain. If it was a race against the clock before it's even more of one now, and then they might have extra armor/health to boot. RIP guild tasks. I just bought the 500 gem soul armor, too. Welp... If leveling kingdoms is expensive, hopefully people will hoard more gold so invades are worth more. I really like the new team bonus. Goblin team even more OP now.

Unlock the arena by doing quests in the first area (broken spire). It costs 1000g, but your troops don't matter because you draft 3 level 10s. You can keep skipping in pvp until you find someone close to your level, but if gold is tight then save it for the arena. You can get some quality troops by completing all the quests in a kingdom.
