[Master Discussion| - Legendary Troops and Legendary Troop Portal

You cut your screenshot but it has always be limited to 4* troop, nothing really new. (Yes it happens that 4* troops were the highest rarity troop we had yet the limit was already in place the whole time)

These legendary troops seem very interesting especially for defense.

But first I have to get my troops to 30. Most of them are stuck at level 13 (for VF purposes)

Really? Why have level 5 then? Where to use? Raid tournament does not allow lvl5 despite a note allowing level 5.

Raids, Maps, Quests, Titans and Wars as of now (I think).

be patient. sooner or later, 5* troops will be used in the tournament. Zynga is still coy. if sales of 5* troops do not meet the target. they will do everything they can.

the good thing about all these whales getting their legendary troops is that they canā€™t get a team full of different class troops for a while since there is a non-skippable cooldown for the conversion

@PlayForFun , @birksg , FYI - thereā€™s an error in description of 5* Monk troop, in his passive.
Resistance chance should be 10%.
Itā€™d good to change this part :slight_smile:

The text version already contained this change since Beta.
So only the image version needs fixing.

Thanks for find this error, @LatiyFundiy!
I guess it was copy & paste error.

@PlayForFun, This is the update version.

I donā€™t know about you and maybe it is just me but these legendary troops have not made any significant difference in efficiency during Raids and Wars. I have maxed them but they feel less powerful and slower than the good old mana troops. Anybody else experiencing the same? Thanks.

The HP numbers alone are a huge change. Attack and defense wise theyā€™re pretty much the same power. And if you feel theyā€™re slower on offense, then youā€™re probably not hitting mana break points anymore.

Iā€™m definitely not experiencing the same as you are. Iā€™ve also seen several posts about how they ā€œruined the gameā€. Itā€™s not surprising we have a variety of opinions.

I only have the one legendary troop. In shortā€¦ not really. It isnā€™t the end of the world because they neutered the 5* troops before release. Soā€¦ they arenā€™t really game changingā€¦ and they arenā€™t really worth the feedersā€¦ but I have extra feedersā€¦ so sureā€¦ Iā€™ll play their game.

There are many heroes that give manaā€¦ but going from 20 to 11%ā€¦ that can mean that 10% bump from xnol ray or hathor just doesnā€™t have enough to charge youā€¦ and it sucksā€¦ Sureā€¦ 8 tiles will still get an fast hero charged, but it can be 6 with magic/styxā€¦ and that can make all the difference.

Very true, but we donā€™t know what they were referencing. Is it a mana break point? Is it a mana gain? Is it neither? There was little in the way of details for us to actually weigh in on.

For me it is a leap of faith without evidenceā€¦ I did a palidin 5* troop to put on c alfrikeā€¦ so the difference is 15 to 11% because I put my magic troop on Ludwigā€¦ but every damn time I see that sliver of darkness on the mana barā€¦ maybe that 4% would have made a differenceā€¦ maybe the dumb 5* troops are a hinderanceā€¦ It just doesnā€™t build confidence in using the product.

My experience so far against raid teams with 1 legendary troop in the 2300-2800 cup range is the same as before against teams with only 4* troops.

I lost one fight against a toon Richard tank with a legendary troop and a bad board.
Won against a tough toon Obakan, but he didnā€™t have a legendary troop.

Sometimes it becomes evident that an opponent hero is tougher than usual, but also slower and then you can check after the battle and see that it had a legendary troop.
Most times I donā€™t feel a difference.

Not bad for a 10 pull, would have rather gotten the monk troop as I think it would work better with my pepperflame, but it will still give pepper a boost and work with my Carmenta, so Iā€™m still happy about it.

Is there no event to get legendary troop coins? Right now there are only the alternatives of spending gems or buying offers. The ether and material portals do not allow gems but in exchange they give us invocations (besides you can get crystals by other ways without going through the bank). And for the epic troop summons we have missions every week, chest rewards, etc.
I donā€™t know, itā€™s good that they want money but they could also think a bit about those of us who invest less or nothing. That we also give them money seeing their mystical visions and every day the gap is bigger, which will cause that there will come a time where it will be impossible to fight against those who buy offers and these will only be able to fight each other.
Maybe this is what they want, but if not they chose the worst possible way.
