🧪 Early Information on Master Class Trial [Part of The Beta Beat v67]

[BlackZed]

I started bringing some 5* to 3.70 for “roster depth”. Even S1 for which I have costumes. Hoping that will help some.

Otherwise it’s all Red items if I can’t add a healer. Or all battle weapons if I can’t add decent hitters.

I hope this won’t be out on a Wednesday

Any chance you have some other costumed heroes? Or even Elkanen?

checking…

Good news:

Bad news, literally every other cleric costume I have with higher TP than those above:

@Quinn3

Or even Elkanen?

Nope.

Lianna… helps. But “Lianna and the four support” sounds a little like, best case, “my device may run its battery down to nothing before battle ends,” or possibly, “support dies a sooner-than-instant death to bosses.”

I like mixing and matching heroes on my roster to find new, interesting and fun teams!

Mixing and matching heroes with nearly the offensive firepower of a horse-drawn drayful of Mennonites armed with bouquets of daffodils should be… something, alright.

1. I made the comment before realising how gosh darned powerful the bosses in beta were

2. I have also commented that the bosses seem too powerful

3. my overall comment about mixing and matching being fun still stands

So you can save the tone, and have a nice day (do try, anyway, even with the impending doom and gloom from beta coming…)

Eh, (1) my point may be mixing and matching is a little more fun when there’s something to, oh, actually mix and match (not least when viable options may kinda seem limited to “needs to be modern 5*”)

(2) the tone I’m getting from the game is “even multiyear veterans of the game not only get to watch the have/have-not gap widen yet further, but may be increasingly locked out of even the in-game-earnable crumbs of non-paid content, but, hey it’s fun for spendier/luckier folks?”

(3) my forum name doesn’t earn itself, y’know?

[Elayanith]

Wow…for whatever reason I cant remember I leveled 2 Brynhilds when she was new.
Really happy now I didnt fed one away!

[Elayanith]

Are you sure you dont have a costumed Lianna somewhere?

I knew it!

[sleepyhead]

Sure, enjoy your perpetually empty glass

As for me, I’m still finding enjoyment in this game despite the problems in it (and I don’t like the idea of master emblems), so I think it’s time for a bit of a break from the negativity.

(Seriously, what I find annoying is that even something like stating “I do enjoy mixing and matching heroes to come up with interesting new teams” becomes a target for negativity these days!) although apparently anything that doesn’t come with a dozen disclaimers can be endlessly nitpicked…)

Heaven knows I have enough of it in real life , I don’t need my game escape being buried under more of it.

[BlackZed]

I will probably crash n burn for certain classes like Druid. Unless I comb through again and level some decent hitters for the sake of this quest. A solution if I have at least AM n basic emblems available.

Let’s see how I get by with red potions and some HL items before I actually commit to using even harder to get resources.

Probably giggle when I crash n burn.

Lianna… helps. But “Lianna and the four support” sounds a little like, best case, “my device may run its battery down to nothing before battle ends,” or possibly, “support dies a sooner-than-instant death to bosses.”

But I assume the bosses are similar… they don’t seem to be overly powerful, and no healers, so you can just keep cLianna alive and she’ll silence.

[sleepyhead]

@Quinn3

so you can just keep cLianna alive and she’ll silence.

Cleric Lianna slows mana, not silences. Less effective than silencing, though better than nothing…

Though, the cleric bosses’ talents will also make it harder to use mana effects on them.

I will probably bring Mist and XiwangMu to increase my damage output versus the bosses.

[Quinn3]

@sleepyhead

Cleric Lianna slows mana, not silences.

Honestly, I forget what all the costumes and new heroes do, simply because I lose track. When I see costume Lianna on defense, it’s always silence.

[notyou87]

For those who have tested. Do you think taking Timothy, togue healer (not great) to 3/70 would be worth it or not worthy? Him or frosty are my only rogue healers.

[CarryAll]

I am not a beta tester, but I read people saying the mobs are easy. So this means you can stall, and charge Timothy multiple times. Boosting the health of all your heroes sounds valuable versus the final lethal bosses.

[notyou87]

Yeah this could be the best tactic, so I will get him now to 3/70 ready, now I just finished getting Luna to 3/70. This makes sense and is a good tactic to do

[Oliz]

I guess as usual regarding beta info, everything is still subject to change, however it’s a good strategy to get them to 3/70 minimum imo.

[PlayForFun]

The OP now contains the Druid version too, and now it contains @birksg’s guides too about the class trials we have seen so far.

[TTT]

This is gonna be a tough quest for me…

I am thinking these team as of now but I can see my self struggling for sure

Do you guys have any feedback?

For Druid, I could use C Fura instead of C Sonya
For Rouge, I could yuse Mulgog instead of C Grimm

[TTT]

Man I hope they tune down these bosses… their stats on the last level are crazy…
