Please help me with this soul exchange. On first note I don’t have enough for even 15 souls to exchange but can manage if needed to.
I don’t have any taunt heroes. Is taunt heroes still in meta? I have never faced issue with Ludwig or so may be because I have had cSeshat, 2CLixu. I’m eyeing on either queen Anne or Barkley. I had picked Xiaotu last time and I haven’t gotten much use from him though personally. So not very interested in laohu even though I’m very weak in yellow. The best pick I had was Quintin who I use daily in every format. I Surely would have picked phenexa if it was available for 15.
Thanks Gargon for the response. I had went through your post already and had confirmed Barkley for 15 is good, Matilda for 10. I wanted to get suggestion based on my roster.
I don’t have any taunter so was thinking if queen Anne is worth? Or Barkley will be good to pair with my Luna animal kingdom. I have to strech my heroes by a bit to get to 15 so was wondering if they will add value to my current roster or completely pass off this SE.
Taunt is very powerful and will never be out of fashion, the question is if you need a slow taunt… If you can speed her up with mana boosters to 9 tiles that would be one way to make QA useful. Another would be to LB2 her to get at least the first 3 turns of alpha taunt (plus the stats to maybe make her survive until you can charge her). So it depends really how much you want to build around her, she´s not your quick and easy solution to all your problems.
Laohu is certainly better than Xiaotu, but since you already have her, Laohu´s main thing (the Lunar family) is less of a benefit. So maybe not him.
Matilda isn´t really a good choice for you I don´t think. who would you really play her with? In that case I would rather save the heroes for next time, so you can pick one from the top shelf then.
Nyx is a generally good hero I find and IMO the best allround hero among the 15ers, but the Styx mana speed works best with very fast (first charge) or avg speed (second charge) heroes than with fast heroes and all your good purples are fast speed, so it´s not ideal. But still you´d get some kind of buff for your heroes (if you charge your fast ones in 7 or 8 tiles you´d get charge 1 attack up if you charge them with 9 tiles you´d get the 2nd charge DD), so it can still work out nicely. But I guess you still got Jett sitting there waiting to be maxed, so maybe not purple?
Looking at your reds: Neema and Xiaotu are both avg speed and mess with healing, that could work well together with Barkley. The damage won´t kill, but at least they can´t heal and the fiends (bith Neema and Barkley) will stay on, so you can make most use of those, Maybe Xiaotu can kill one affected by Barkleys fiends to do the extra damage. And if not maybe you can trigger a healer afterwards to do it… Could be a fun triplet to play around with. And might help make use of Xiaotu a bit more since you already have her. It will require a bit of tactics on your part, but if you don´t mind that, you could have a good 3 stack for the level you play at (I am just guessing you don´t play up very high?)
Thanks for taking time to write such detailed response. Yes I don’t play super high. I am in the raid range of low diamond to 2700ish max ever was 2970. And from half a year or so I have even stopped playing war. I just enjoy raids, events.
Toxicandra can be used to increase mana speed for QA but I don’t have any bard heroes, infact my troops in green are terrible. I have crit troops. I haven’t gotten Styx or mana in just green even after all these years of play.
I was c2p/p2p? sometime and I’m like sober from last year of so. Lol. So running the show with whatever I have. But still SG has generously given me Farrah kind of heroes by free token.
With what you are saying I feel Barkley is suitable which was my first thought as well. As for some reason I’m not inclined towards taunt heroes(from last half year I don’t see them so much In meta).
Problem with NYX is damage dealers go off from the shelf very quickly. But her DD can be helpful as I don’t have any in dark.
Minions and fiends are still there? Don’t even know whats the meta these days changes so often to even track. Just high power, hit all, high passives, reduce health of all, reduce mana of all. Basically basic features but all combined and thrown with high power.
If not il skip this SE then go for the 20 tier next time. I have never taken a 20tier hero. Will do that.
Excellent, detailed response. My only quibble is your dismissal of Mathilda for the OP’s roster. She would increase the dots / ailments of: Bera, Azlar, Neema, Quintin, Zarga, Kai, Lord Loki (potentially), Viscaro, Sartana, Xiaotu. If Horus’ emblems are maxed his barbarian bleed will increase. She also has a chance to reset the duration of Frida’s, Athena’s, Farrah’s ailments. Of the 23 maxed 5*s in these screengrabs, Mathilda complements 13 of them, 14 if Lord Loki copies someone with ailments.
Well not playing wars means, you basically don´t need any heroes, you just go and LB2 your 1 raid team and then maybe a few substitute heroes for special occasions.
And spend all your gems and resources otherwise on getting troops for that team, while you can use your crit troops to exchange them for 5 star troops as well.
You really don´t need to bother with what meta is or not, it is completely irrelevant to you. In your case meta is what works. And if you have fiend and minion heroes, then you´ll use those. Not seeing a hero only means that people don´t use it on defense, which again is close to irrelevant. What´s important is what you do on offense, since that is where you actually play the game. I mean in theory you can look at the teams people use to attack you, but I think it´s been years since I last did that lol… I don´t know if you do look to be able to say what people use on offense. Even then QA is a rather rare hero and you wouldn´t see her often, even if the people who have her use her.
So don´t bother too much with what other people do or don´t do.
Personally I would sign in to wars. What other point is there to have more than 5 heroes? Building 6 different teams is what makes this whole thing get a point. And even if you can only make 3 or 4 good teams it´s good enough, you always need to do a few cleans anyway, and if you don´t, then you clean for somebody else.
But really I know nothing about raids, for me they are just farming for food. I do 6 raids in 5 minutes (preferably) pick up 150k+ food and do that every 6 hours or well whenever I have nothing better to do… Always same team except for PoV/PoG.
As to Toxi, I don´t think she´d be enough to get a slow hero to 9 tiles, but you´d have to test that yourself… I don´t have a lot of those heroes myself, but there´s that green 4star Styx hero that boosts mana, don´t think he´s got any job besides making green slow heroes fire in 9 tiles
But getting back to perfecting a raid team, I guess you definitely need to keep 20 handy, Panther this time sure would be an upgrade for you for example. There are not a lot of heroes that will be better than your top 5 (or maybe top 10) heroes. And most likely if those come through SE at all they´ll usually be in the 20 category.
50% of nothing is still nothing. It would have to be a serious dot to make Matilda worth something. I don´t remember Zargas dot, might be that one is worth talking about? The others sure are not, well Quintin would be, but there it´s the other way round, the target of Quintin is dead already without Matilda, so no point either.
It´s as I said before, every hero has a use somewhere somehow, but that doesn´t mean it´s a good idea to spend all the souls you have on a little niche product.
Now if you are “rich” and have 20 souls every time anyway and you either use them for feeding other heroes or you throw them at a fun hero in SE, I am all with you, pick a little niche project, because you can. Since you´ll already have much better heroes than the ones on offer there, it´s all about completing those little niches or personal favorites or whatever.
If you are “poor” you need to pick a game changer every time you pick a hero. And changing some bleed from 50 damage to 75 damage per turn to one isn´t exactly a game changer. It might be if you change it from 500 to 750 per turn to all. Not sure it would be enough to be relevant, but I would start thinking about it…
I guess I just lost the interest on war where the loot wasn’t worth and the anxiety over not using all of the flags in time wasn’t also worth. But I do play war here and there and might go back someday. For now I enjoy events where I could use fast heroes to complete the events quick, acquire more mats, and a random 5* from my pulls.
Yeah I think I better turn my green crit troop to 5*. Didn’t think about it for whatever reason. Thanks on that.
Good thing with events is, speed doesn´t matter much. You can play slow heroes just as well.
Depends on where you are at with your event play. QA might even be an idea there. If you are struggling to complete events at least she can help you get through the tough stages. If you are going for improving high scores, then of course you don´t need her at all.
I don’t usually struggle with completing events except the recent pets event I believe. I have decided to skip this SE and go for the 20 tier next time. I lack Yellow heroes but since I’m not interested in laohu, I don’t see any immediate use for others. I lack Yellow heroes and defence down in green/dark for Titans.
But thanks for helping me out to come to this decesion.
3* hero for a 14* Titan I’m feeling it bit difficult. For Yellow I have Bogart, Red- sun, dark I’m running with Heifeng, blue Athena, and green none. Because I tried c Briennie and even buddy. But one shotted.
I do my lowest on yellow Titan as there is no EDD or even a strong hitter. I do good on Red and Dark. Mostly top 5 in the team for a 14* Titan.
I play 3 star heroes on 14 star titans all the time. Nordri is my EDD in blue and Buster is my Franz in red
I used them even before all the LB stuff started, but of course those 2 were my first LB2 3 stars… makes it easier to play them of course. But doesn´t mean it´s a necessity. Just depends what the goal is and what items you feel like using. I just play it cheap, because 14 star titans are so boringly easy to kill and we have to limit our damage, so everybody can get a piece. So yes the 3stars get killed sometimes, but if you try not to do more than 200k damage with 3 flags (or even more flags) it really doesn´t matter if 1 or 2 hits are mediocre or worse. 1 good hit and a few bad ones is all it takes to get B loot
And if max damage was the goal (like on MTs), well items will make sure the little guys don´t get hit at all, so they can do their job. Obviously not good enough for the top 100 leader board, but top 1% is easy enough.
I think I understand the game but I don’t understand the niche on how to get great score. I tried to use nordri,C Briennie, buddy but as they get one shotted I left it off. I don’t make that big scores but my total score will be 300kish and in top 5 and grade A. I use harpoons, small mana, small antidotes, turtle banner. Grade A doesnt necessarily get any better loot I know that but I like to challenge myself in Titan.
