I’m also asking about need for getting harpoon hits on titans to tiers 2 and 3.
So, as f2p, I have four training camps working at lev 20 so as to give max possible fodder for the soul exchange.
I’m planning to get most of my feeders from hero academy 1 and 3 in between uses of HA9 while keeping HA10 running full-time and will also dip into quick uses of TC19.
It all seems quite food expensive.
I have a fair bit of stored crafting material and don’t consider myself to have a shortage of titan parts but hunter’s lodge still at 6.
I have:
farms maxed and have 3 advanced farms 1;
2 advanced mines 1 and one mine 16 (I’ve left one plot blank to leave the wavy ladies/gents with a bit of recreational space );
watchtower 18;
an advanced house 10 and houses 20, 18 and currently levelling to 16;
forge 20, alchemy lab 10, hero academy 10 and, as mentioned, hunter’s lodge 6.
My current thought is to first max my houses to get 352 max recruits which would reduce the faff of getting up to 300 recruits each time I need to set the HA10 going.
I’m then wondering how far (if at all) I should go in maxing my advanced farms and watchtower before continuing with my hunters lodge.
Also, how useful would it be to get harpoon hits on titans to tiers 2 and 3?
I find that the bonus for tiers 2 and 3 is pretty meager (2 extra parts and 3 extra parts, I believe) compared to how many harpoons need to be used. However, many players like to use the harpoons to reduce the titan’s attack, so are going to go up to tier 2 anyway. (Our alliance doesn’t have a specific policy, but we usually hit level 2.)
I’d go farms over hunters lodge. I haven’t found it too useful so curious what you are looking for it to unlock. Even after you build it you’ll have to spend more food researching which you’re already low on.
As for the house, if it’s a QOL improvement you’re looking for I support it but I haven’t found advanced house too useful as I’ve destroyed so many recruits over the years to free up resources.
I had been wondering if there were any go-tos from HL7-10 that would be worth going for. If not that’s good with me.
It sounds like some current storing of recuits in TC20s will be good. I’ve got a number of (hoarded) pulls tokens to use at an opportune time and, once used, I may be in a better position to distribute feeders when they’re used.
60 days is more than I have (I aim for fifty).
When are you going to go 60 days without restocking? How much food do you have tied up that you could be using elsewhere?
Hurricanes and time freeze are cool but when do you plan to use them? I built a bunch only not to use them. Not much of a reason for regular titans. Might be different if you are in an alliance pushing tanks in mythic titan.
I’ve still got the resources to forge 90 tornadoes and 214 timestops.
boosting with hurricanes could be nice with titans
and timestops are my main go to with difficult quest/map levels. I think these could suffice for now and agree it would be good to work on farms/watchtower.
I also went with Advanced House first, the recruits have been really useful. then I went for Farms.
Hunter’s Lodge… the Titanium Shields are key for me in finishing events like the Towers, while the Scrolls of Alteration have mainly been useful for Mythic Titan. I’ve stopped competing in MT though, so right now I really only use HL for the Shields.
I have not gone very far with my advanced mines, as I usually have more iron than I need (partly because I don’t craft in Hunter’s Lodge a lot).
Well, I find HL7 useful for the Caltrops to get rid of the Red Titan counter attack. Other than that, I use the Hurricane and time freeze as iron dumps. Generally speaking I’m just using it for harpoons.
I would go for maxing the farms first as you never lack for food.
I would bring the Warchtower asap to lvl20, it produces more food than 1.5 farms.
Then max the farms, six to lvl20 and three to Advanced10.
I have two TC running on lvl20, one on lvl11 and one on lvl2.
The HA is running on lvl6 (3* troops) and lvl10 non stop.
This setup allows me to collect S1 5* for SE, max heroes and troops.
In the lodge I only build harpoons and hurricanes.
Hero Academy 1 is unique in that it only requires one recruit to train up each 1* feeder, though 2x Practice Sword and 2x Training Manual, 1* materials are also required. AL 3A should give a 50% chance to generate one of these materials every 3 hours.
