It was more of a defensive battle with just two attackers, but all went smoothly, each boss fired just once, minions and defense buffs made their attacks less significant, HoT counters Oberon 's DoT and firing C.Mel after Ulmer upturned his def down.
As a result, no item needed, and all heroes returned healthy.
Trainer and emblems saved for now, trying to optimize the use of iron and ham for upgrades & research.
I toyed with swapping in another hitter like Sartana or Elena for BT, since damage is a little hard to come by here, but ultimately decided not to. Probably a good thing, the way this one went. As usual, waltzed through the mobs and got to the bosses with all specials charged. Fired BT, Proteus and Poseidon, and held Onatel and Kiril for when I needed them. Looked like I was going to get enough yellow tiles to get a quick kill on Balthazar, but then they dried up. Bosses picked on Kiril no matter what I did. Used a few healing potions, ended up having to fire his heal before I wanted to, which meant he was nowhere near ready when Ulmer fired, and ultimately, Balthazar took him out while his defense was compromised. Not really that big a deal, as there is enough mana control here to make sure this one is never in doubt. Just kinda made me peeved. Oberon went down first (and second, thanks to revive), then Balthazar, and finally Ulmer.
Not enough fighter emblems for Poseidon’s next node. I should probably have waited to spread some fighter emblems to Magni when he’s maxed or maybe Elena, but I just really like Poseidon, I’m past the really expensive nodes until 19 now, and so I’ll probably just keep rolling with him. Thought about holding wizard emblems to get Onatel past node 8, but decided instead to start on Sartana, who I will take to +7. Just feel like she’s not getting enough burn right now, so maybe emblems will help. Trainer hero saved for the nonce. Gafar is too close to max, so I’d be wasting the XP on him. Next purple up is probably Quintus, so he’ll get a little jump start later today or tomorrow.
Made it a little more difficult for myself by taking my Isarnia 3-4 instead of BT+18. And then went into boss stage without any heroes charged due to an annoying cascade. Colen fell to Balthazar early, but was able to take Balthy out in the next round. The other two didn’t give much trouble with Isa and Kirils buffs giving good heft to the damage dealers. Ended up being a surprisingly short battle with a couple of antidotes and minor mana for the healer.
Kiril out and Hu Tao joins,… for color advantage and some variation use.
Notable change is: my 1st Proteus+19 (mana path) is now faster with 9x tiles, Troop lvl 17 (finally).
Emblems Fighter keep in inventory, still confused with the compate of my roster. I should actually pick one focus for this class, but well maybe later. Wizard for Kiril. Trainer keep for later use, maybe for Sartana, she is almost 3.70.
No items used. Had 2 diamonds saved for boss wave and combos galore.
Purple trainer to Clarissa. Will have her at 3/70 soon.
Close to 700 Fighter and 700 Wizard emblems saved up. Still contemplating using Wizard emblems on C.Sartana. Only wizards I would potentially emblem over her are Hel or Zeline, both of which I don’t have but pray for each ToL.
Same team as last time but everyone has a few more emblems and it made a huge difference.
Have Kiril but he is not maxed yet. Gotta love Proteus in this. Just awesome. Used 2 mhealing on Colen and an arrow attack at the end but other than that, nothing. First time ever!
Completed with C.Melendor, BT, Colen, C.Joon, Kiril. The three healers kept my heroes alive easily while C.Joon killed the enemy one after the other. Had to use only a couple of mana potion because i forgot the antidotes
Emblems momentarily saved, trainer to Gravemaker.
Not too much trouble. Vic died quite early into the battle with 3 bosses but could continue with just four heroes. Emblems will go to Victor and Magni, trainer will wait for Ursena.
