The biggest challenge for me was bringing the wrong team several times because I couldnāt tell the formation! Good, diverse teams, challenging event. Level 10 was a bit of a downer after the challenge of 8-9, but overall I enjoyed it!
Itās just a frustrating feeling to be a veteran of two, three years or longer and there are new events that just either steamroll you or which are beatable only by āthe heck with strategy, Iām going to zerg-rush with mono and WE flasks over and over and over and over and over and over and over until I get luckyā
because these events arenāt for us
They are for people who have heroes mostly released in, say, the last six months.
I donāt think itās entirely silly to feel like after spending multiple years in a game, trying to learn its ins and outs and develop some skill at it, to feel like maybe you should be able to figure out how to āwinā at itā¦.
ā¦instead of āwinningā being increasingly correlated with āhow many of the best of the most recent heroes do you have.ā
Why do you think so? There is no information about portal in the calendar.
Beat it. I do think itās harder than last time. I think the early losses I had were from underestimating. I also switched to mono and that helped.
I was prepared to spend gems on 9 & 10 though. I figure for 150 gems (half a normal summon) I gain a 3rd on a special portal that has less S1ās than usual. As a FTP that would be worth it IMO. Anyways, I got on a roll:
1 - clear
2 - clear
3 - two tries
4 - like 5 or 6 tries, it was ridiculous
5 - clear
SWITCH TO MONO (blue)
6 - clear
7 - clear
8 - 3 tries
9 - clear
10 - clear
Captain of Diamonds was huge for me on 8. Those minions get out of control fast. I would have beat 8 in two tries, but I didnāt notice I was blinded when I shot CoD to remove minions. He missed and that was that round. Dumb on my part.
When I didnāt have CoD in the 5 spot I used Perseus over Richard. Some levels had so many healers it was nice to prevent the hero I was focused on killing from being able to heal. His hit is decent too.
This is a super tile dependent event given you have no items. You canāt buy tile luck, so it is kind of equalizer in some ways.
Anyway, good luck to those still trying to finish. I am looking forward to my 6 pulls when the portal is back (saved from last time)
EDIT:
Zagrog hits hard, holy smokes!
I had to switch to mono. I think where the booster enemies the most was damage output and HP. I normally am a 3-2 or 2-2-1 player, but I just could not get enough damage to kill them. They would be alive with a sliver of health all the time.
Perhaps the boost was to represent 85 +20 instead of a maxed hero or something
See my predictions for November there. The covenant summon should come back around this 12th.
I wish our Zagrog hits that hard too in Raid.
Lol i wishā¦
Thank you so much for the support
This ladies and gentlemen this is literally definition of money talks BS walks
No one called you a liar. The person was only saying that you were able to auto farm because all your heroes you took are paywall heroes.
Yes someone did
Kinda proves his point
For the last few stages I went yellow mono and it helpedā¦ was able to complete the challenge.
I finally beat stage 8, using:
Kvasir
Rekhetre
Kalile
Tahir
Boldtusk
No LB, Tahir was 3/20.
Took like 6 tries but got a board with decent starting yellow tiles allowing me to block minions and get some overheal early on. By the time Kvasir died, I had already eliminated the middle 3 heroes and barely eeked out a win. This is definitely a challenge for F2P - probably not going to even attempt stage 9.
Thank you forn the tip - Iāll try sometime in the future again perhaps, once I (hope to) have better heroes
I canāt beat level 8.
I have a team that can beat it but i donāt get the tiles to win.
I have played the level over 30 times already. Everytime is the same story, i am forced to play tiles of colors i donāt have, they charge up very quickly. By the third round they are all charged with minions and counterattack skillā¦
And like i said i have the team to beat it.
I first tried my auto team but by level 8 they run dry (three healers)
Then first try max damage output, first try.
Do damage before they get to you. Got to admit Penolite helped a lot (they canāt heal) and he does extra damage against summoners.
Have you got any minion counter heroes ? (Grimble, Gobbler, Bera, costume Gormekā¦)
If yes, then you should use them.
They are very helpful, and using mono is also helpful. (But yes, you need a good board to charge your heroes fast.)
I used Rigard, Sergei, costume Quintus, Grimble and Beta to beat that stage.
I used Devana to get rid of the minions giving counter attack.
Try with an anti minion hero if you have. Devana also helped get rid of that 450hp Seshat minionsā¦
Got mine Sunday. I was hoping Capt. of Diamonds would be enough but the blue troops all took the day off so he didnāt even fire.
Finished.
8: C.Frank got up to ten stacks and I slowly won
9: took 3 tries, eventually using 4 holy heroes
10: took two tries. Used mostly red heroes the second time.
I didnāt particularly enjoy the process. Itās worse than a regular raid.
I canāt use my coins right now.
I like the idea of trying to take down different families of heroes. But this is a bad design of an okay idea.
