More Insights & Reading

I highly recommend reading these three threads for more information and context on summoning odds:

If you’ve read them a million times before, you may consider reading them again before deciding on your budget for summoning. A little time spent deciding on how much money you want to risk on summoning goes a long way to avoiding disappointment, frustration, and regret later. :slight_smile:

Feel free to discuss your team and roster here, and ask for advice from other Forum members.

Clear attempt to continue on the road towards COMPLETELY invalidating Chinese New Year heroes.

Some will chase this hero for that benefit. Some of us will recognize this for the scam that it is and continue refraining from spending money.

Continuing this trend, Liu Bei is gonna be a nightmare.

Those heroes whose damage bypasses minions will come in handy.

Who’s that latest red lady hero that does that ?

Besides that dated green W3K hero.

Can’t remember their names now. So many.

Agreed. Too many heroes in the game. I do forget the heroes that bypass minions when doing damage. Some of the issues with those heroes is that they’re old enough to do limited damage to the hero’s HP.

These days, I’ve barely stayed relevant by using one or more HP limit cutters along with strong (but slow-firing) hit-all heroes like Shaal.

I think the few decent heroes [of the hundreds] I have will be completely obsolete in the next 3-6 months. I’ll probably uninstall at that point. :man_shrugging:

Zynga just launched another match 3 RPG: game of thrones: Legends RPG:

press release

Global release 24-7-2024

Could this be why Dragonspire was held back for so very long ?

I downloaded to try it out. :rofl::joy:

Let’s see whether it’s another EP clone

Zynga knows how to suck people in. I’m a huge GoT fan. Knowing what I know about how difficult it is to build maps and rosters, I won’t even bother downloading the app.

I could have been enticed if I didn’t have this E&P experience.

Problem with Guan Yu is that using him for killing one of these new heroes, you would need a team of 4 of them to deal enough damage for a kill.

Wonder what that’s costing them in terms of royalties / licensing fees ? :open_mouth:

I downloaded it. Battling through to get to the Alliance Hall. Slowly. No rush.

This game requires account save via email. Fully portable.

It’s sluggish compared to EP. Starter lesson is copy/paste off EP.

I can see elements from similar gacha rpg games in this latest release. The better bits.

The tile mechanics is also a compilation of more interesting bits from trending match 3 puzzles. This feature will make it interesting during raids when I have to reduce mana build up.

Let’s see how long I last. :stuck_out_tongue:

Maybe it’s a collaboration ?

First Star Wars.
Now Game of Thrones.
Wonder what’s next ? :thinking:

I habe a very decent roster, but even stacking yellow against Diao doesn‘t work since she is too fast and her minion far to beefy. Facing a team with even more such heroes is for me a reroll, instantly. I was a whale, but after only 6 months without further spending I feel like a herring already caught in a fish net.

With heroes like this, we need a new league. The Chinese Gang has the absolutely worst passive (OP) ever…

I wanna play!!

Reached Chapter 5. No builder limitation. Can still plough ahead for now.

Jon Snow seems to be the freebie epic for everyone. Plus another 1 and 3 common. Can’t remember names

I have put the Fancy name to the main W3K topic.
