Hello all,
I’m looking for a few advices on where to pull for each portal.
Quick background:
- I consider myself an experienced player, I usually do a lot of in-depth analysis ad theorycrafting
- My purpose is to improve my war and raid attacking performances against top defenses (that’s why I won’t chase excellent tanks like Krampus in favor of a nice-but-no-perfect hitter like Cobalt)
- I usually go mono, except for the VF wars where I run 3+2, and my alliance runs green tanks (currently Francine +18)
- As title said I’m f2p, hoarding gems and coins for the right moment
- I’ve abundance of mats (like 15-18 each), so I can max whatever hero I’ll pull
My teams - outdated
Notable mentions: Malicna, second Joon, Aegir+20, costume Kadilen, Grazul + 20, plus Domitia, Quintus, Leonidas, Justice, second magni, Horghall, Santa and Marjana sitting at 3.70.
As you can see, Gefjon is the only seasonal 5*, she came in the last portal
Now, for the yellow team I’d like to replace Lady Woolerton and jackal, and the natural improvements seems to be any 5* healer and cLeonidas (waiting him to be featured).
In the blue team I can replace maybe Kiril and magni, with Alexandrine or maybe Ariel and any hitter.
In the green team the only viable replacement for melendor would be Toxicandra (I don’t like slow healers), and I desperately need to swap Buddy (still missing Almur), I think best choice would be Fogg. Chameleon it’s actually the core of the team, so I’ll never swap him out
In the red team I usualy rotate between Boldtusk (mainly) and grazul, depending on enemy team. I’m trying to bench Falcon and I was waiting for cMarjana, but then Saoirse appeared…
Purple team needs some love actually there’s no sinergy with the heroes, and a lot of them aren’t that great…
On a priority list (purple aside) I’d say I need to replace Buddy first, then Falcon, then Woolerton, then the others
my teams - november 2021 update
So,in the purple I’ve maxed Quintus for VF war, and Im trying him in the mono. I can even drop him and malicna for Sartana and Ametrine, still undecided.
In the yellow I broke Jackal since I won’t pull for cLeonidas, and replaced Woolerton with Vivica.
In the blue I replaced Kiril (frosth still at 3.70, gonna wait till they reveal the family bonus).
In the purple I finally found Almur now gonna work on Horghall for VF wars (I won’t have Heimdall or MN, and wont pull for Lughaidh)
Red team it’s still the same, I swap between Grazul and Boldtusk based on opponents.
So, core of the thread: based on my personal situation, where should I concentrate my pulls, differenced by currencies?
On NT I’ll wait for a nice hotm, since Onice is the only one I really need.
On Atlantis I’ll wait december for Kage, Uraeus and JF (would be probably 3 free pulls with coins)
On Valhalla I’ll wait november for Alfrike and Bera. Frigg is tempting, but Norns and Sif aren’t so appealing. I also know that with 8-9 free pulls I probably won’t get any of these.
On underwild I’ll probably wait for any featured heroes I like, and Ill prob spend my hoarded gems
On event portal I’m struggling, I’ll probably DO NOT want to wait february for guardians (not confirmed yet), trying to get Panther and Gazelle. Starfall heroes are not appealing, I like Director Zuri, Faline and Eiora, but I don’t need green and yellow hitter. Main doubt is between Slayers and Evil League (I’ll take anything except the 2 Asterius and Izrod), in Slayers I kinda don’t like Rian, Caitling and Cathal are welcome but not needed, Senan and Saoirse would be instantly maxed. Also I don’t like current hotm, I find him too niche to be useful.
So, should I spend now my 30 coins or should I hoard for something better (maybe even TBA)?
Also, if you have any advice for other portals strats, feel free to tell me.
Thanks
Mid november edit:
As we discussed in this thread
- I’ll spend my gems on S4, when Xnophold/Lepiota (and/or probably Hannah/Moreau/ Fogg/Elizabeth are featured).
- I’ll pull in atlants based on wich costumes are featued, Kage mainly, Ursena later.
- I won’t pull in S3 anymore, I spent all my coins last portal.
- On event I won’t chase Panther anymore, gonna pull instead in the evil league
- On seasonal I’ll spend on easter, looking for all 5* (maybe they’ll introduce a new one, other than costumes?)
I’m now wondering if I should pull (with coins only, not gems involved) in Ninja Tower or Magic Tower. Current NT has Ruby ofc, and Cobalt and Onyx a step behind. Even Quartz can be useful, but Sabina can handle the healer role with no problems.
MT otoh has Cristobal mainly, with Milena and Motega behind. Also the 3* and 4* can be handy.
Speaking about HOTM, Balbar is nice and I’d like to have it since I love tactical heroes, but I’m not sure on wich one I should cut to make room (probably almur, but EDD is too valuable).
MT should happen in January (unconfirmed yet), so Viscaro would be really nice, and will bring more value to purple stack than the value would bring Balbar.
TL/DR: should I pull now or should I wait MT?
