Grundulum posted:Because we are spread out over two guilds, and since we all have a Something Awful account already, discussion usually happens here on the forums. (There is a Discord channel, but I am not active in it.) So I suggest you ask your questions here. Ok thanks! So far I've understood that I should be doing pve until I get all my kingdoms to level 10, and collecting guild seals (whatever those are) every day. - At this early stage (level 25) should I be saving any of my keys or just use them as I get them? - Any way to mute annoying global chat while staying connected to guild chat? - Is there any point trying to make team builds when I only have like 25 troops and little knowledge of the game, or should I just find something that gets me through PvE and use it as long as I can?

Daft newbie questions ahoy Are the guild tasks literally just "contribute this much gold" or is there more to them than that? (I'm following thread advice and ignoring them till I'm done with kingdoms, but curious nonetheless) Do the guild guardians have any more functionality besides giving me (enormous, relative to my level) mana surge bonuses? And do their levels ever reset? At level 63 is there any point my even trying to play anything in the "games" tab besides treasure hunt and arena?

Is it possible to miss stuff completely in this game, or do event-based card grabs always repeat eventually? e: And an unrelated question, when should I switch classes? I just got the blue (legendary?) weapon for 250 wins with Warlord class. I tried switching to something else (mechanist, chosen at random) a short time ago and all that meant was suddenly I was losing most of my battles and couldn't wait to switch back. But I guess I do need to level those other classes at some point. I guess once I finally get a Giant Spider I can build a closed-loop team that will carry my hero even when he's pathetically weak.

Getting irongut: it doesn't look like gem blossums will reach 20k seals this week, so should I be spending my seals to open guild chests now (post 10k)? How likely am I to get him if I can only afford like 60-70 chests?

There are two (Gem Boiz and Gem Blossums), but it seems like we're hovering around the "both guilds full of active players" mark. Do we need a third-tier partially filled noobs and rejects guild?

I just got Mountain Crusher which I see mentioned here a lot. What's so good about it - does it just synergise well with Titan (which I haven't unlocked yet)? Also just got my first Giant Spider, which I can pair with a Spiritfinder to make a loop. However I'm struggling to make that work for me in the pet rescue battles. Is there some trick to it or are goblin opponents just horrible no matter what team you bring?

Enkor posted:What's your output from the loop? I ran with mang for skull damage, and kraken's damage on 4-5 matches for a while, though it was super slow. I'm still experimenting. My hero is so strong relative to any of my minions that I feel like I really need him in first position, but that doesn't work with the loop (if he has the same mana colour he blocks it, and if he has a different mana colour he never fills up). So I guess I just need to farm enough souls and traitstones to buff the giant spider so it can survive a hit or two in first position. I've currently got boar rider in my last slot, taking advantage of green/purple overflow while generating extra turns, but it feels pretty underwhelming for damage.

Grundulum posted:Your hero shouldn’t block blue, purple, or green, for sure. But you can still fill them by taking 4+ matches when they arise; and certainly take 4+ skull matches to boost your damage output. Kraken or Taloca would be great fits for the fourth slot, since they do direct damage on 4+ matches, but they are legendary troops and harder to acquire. Boar Rider isn’t a horrible idea in that slot, though. You can do a bit of damage, manipulate the board, and still keep the turn. Asha ( Thanks, that's useful. I don't have any of the troops you mention but I've just started on the Grosh'Nak quests since I was between kingdoms anyway. Seem to be doing better with this team as I get more practice, but it's not nearly as fast as my goblins so I might stick with those until I've farmed the loop troops up a bit more.

Couple of questions 1) Is there any advantage to playing all the fights for past days? I'm assuming the win/loss is called at the end of each day, and I forgot guild wars were on for the first half of the week. 2) Am I allowed to yell bullshit if an enemy's Immortal trait procs three times in a row?

I didn't know that about defence, and don't have enough good troops to colour match on attack, but hopefully I'll do better next war. Not that Gem Blossums are very serious about warring E: I just pulled a Dark Monolith, which is the first gold I've had that rates a "generally strong" in Grundulum's list. What's the strategy for this guy? It looks like his third trait would make him super strong in long battles but I'm usually dead by the time the enemy has procced a few spells. Not that I have anything like enough traitstones anyway. Related: what's the go-to farming method for traitstones? Maugrim fucked around with this message at 12:27 on Dec 23, 2018 |

porktree posted:Only spend gold on cities - get gold early on in the arena. Once all your cities are level 10, use the gold toward guild tasks. I got Celestial first because I'm permanently short of souls - you have so many classes and troops to level if you want to make headway in basically anything. Whereas gold is coming in at a steady rate and I've already got all kingdoms to 5.

Grundulum posted:There are four kinds of orbs. The first three below can be used in the troop menu (look for the Orbs tab). The fourth is used in the Guild menu. Great info, thank you! I don't think Gem Blossums has any policies really. We typically only get to 10k or so seals in any week. Only a couple of us even seem to participate in the guild events. I'd guess I'd like to be in a guild that tried to do that stuff, but on the other hand I never manage to earn my full 1500 seals in a week so I'm probably not hardcore enough for Gem Boiz. Treasure Hunt is fun even if inefficient. Scored 223 on one today. EDIT: How are orbs typically gained? I presume there's other ways besides logging in every day for a month. Can you craft the minor ones into major ones somehow? Maugrim fucked around with this message at 02:13 on Dec 30, 2018 |

As someone still pretty early in the game, I'm finding the Mountain Crusher / Apothecary / Goblin Rocket / Keeper of Souls team that someone suggested carries me through many fights that my other teams can't touch, including all three dungeons if I'm lucky. So if you don't have a ton of legendary troops yet I wouldn't pass up KoS.

I guess my attitude as a new player is I don't mind part-levelling and part-traiting a few troops for each event to push as far as I can - it's an opportunity to try out something I wouldn't normally, it gives progress towards levelling kingdom power, and increases my tiny pool of powered troops ready to include in whatever future events come up. But yeah I can see it being an unwanted distraction if you already have a dozen legendaries you're trying to level/trait up.

My current "best" team for hard fights is: Titan (rank 17) / Mountain Crusher (unlevelled because I've never got a gold ingot ever) Apothecary *** Goblin Rocket ** Keeper of Souls (No traits) This helps a lot with harder fights than I can manage with my soul-generating PvE team, but I'm still hitting my limit earlier than I'd like - I can rarely do the second dungeon let alone the third, for example, and can't get past the 3rd fight in pet rescues. Actually I've had more success with Archer main for this team, but I'm trying to level Titan since it seems to be so popular generally. Are there any other good combos I can try? I have Alchemist but not Hellcat. I've recently acquired Winter Imp and Dark Monolith. Link to my collection: http://gowdb.com/collection/9bc0477d5ff6c55aac99328bc14ddf30

soscannonballs posted:My team right now is my hero, Goblin, Dryad, and Ferit. The only unit I have leveled up is my Goblin who is level 15. Should level up the guys I am using right now or wait until I get some of the units for the teams in the newbie team section? My take after playing for a month and change: If you're struggling right now, there's no harm in levelling what you're using. There will be plenty more souls in your future. Goblins are really good for a long time (especially goblin rocket) so definitely don't feel bad about putting souls into those. That said, if you've joined a guild you'll get a ton of gold keys and unlock new common and rare troops pretty fast. e: Also everyone will tell you to go and unlock Titan but I have yet to figure out what's so great about it - certainly warlord is not a terrible class to stick with for a while.

Thanks to whoever pointed out I can speed up the animations in this game. 1.5x feels crazy fast in a good way. I expect I'll go even higher once I'm used to it. Now a question that isn't addressed in the new OPs: difficulty levels! I'm playing on Warlord III on the PvE quests, as my soul-farming team can't hack warlord IV. Hell, sometimes even III is too hard for them. For Arena I generally end up on Hard to be sure of consistent wins. Are these at all sensible choices from a min/maxing point of view? Obviously at the higher difficulties, fights take longer and I have to take longer to think about my actions and sometimes I lose them, so the loss of time all adds up. But I do like having to actually think to win a fight rather than mindlessly spam through. Maugrim fucked around with this message at 21:38 on Jan 6, 2019 |
