Found a way to farm troops

[Gryphonknight]

@LadySuzanne

Honestly, 3 troops seems rather normal for farming 8-7 with 35 WE.

1.8-7 is great for farming troops because it is a 3 world energy stage.

@Gryphonknight

In other words, @Pois1 is correct–you won’t find better troop drops than 8-7 anywhere else. But I’d note that you should find the same troop drop rate in all of season 1, provinces 5~8, (Also provinces 1~4, but it isn’t a good place to farm, and consequently my data is thinner and so is my confidence.)

Hero drops are different–the rate appears to increase with WE across the map, although not quite as fast as WE increases if I recall correctly.

But mostly 1* troops so hoping Hero Academy, or Season 3, gives us some way to get troops.

@Gryphonknight

1. All troop drops appear to be ~75% 1* / ~25% 2* Hero drops appear to be the same 75/25 mix.
2. Troop drop rates appear to be constant across the map PER RUN. Which means that troops/WE drop off inversely as WE increases.

Looks like the expected number of troops would be 2.45 per 35 we ( 0.070 per 1 we ) but it is a very low drop rate so RNG.

From the expected 5.95 Heroes per 35 we ( 0.17 per 1 we ) you are losing 4.95+ Heroes.

@Ultra

Season 2 during Atlantis Rising when the energy expenditure would be reduced to 3 WE

We would expect the same number of troops in this situation, more heroes, and three times the loot rolls

Most Adventure kits/ backpacks

@gregschen

• S2N (normal difficulty) provinces 7, 8 and 9 give the most ascension mats rolls, clocking in at 3.5 per 3 WE
• After that, there are a TON of provinces that give 3 ascension mat rolls per 3 WE.

Province 1.5 and 2.1 have effective 2 kit rolls per 1 ascension item roll
