Rainbow teams may be difficult; particularly in the 3600+ stages
Iād personally look at maybe rearranging some of the heroes to get 2-2-1 or 3-2 stacks goingā¦
Stacking the colours benefits as:
specials charge off the same matchesā¦ A team of rainbow average speed mana heroes needs 5x 9 tile matches to charge all their specials (45 tiles). As opposed to having a 3-2 stack of average heroes = 10 tiles to charge all specials
Boosted damage. Stacked colours have their attack stats added together in the damage calculation & as such deal more damage per tile. This is very useful when the bosses have high defence AND high HP stats.
This would have been a great challenge, instead of stopping at stage 10, it would be incremental until you run out of available heroes.
Sure this will favor the long-term players with deep rosters but the boards are random so we can see how many stages we can clear for personal milestones.
Maybe have the rewards portions capped but itād be nice to see someone get rewarded for top score like other events.
I can see @Uclapack, @JimMe or @Xero786 or even that top level Russian player clear stage 25!
The other thing to remember is that the summon odds are (or at least in last beta version) so terrible that you could have a dozen extra free pulls and it wouldnāt make a difference.
I would suggest grabbing & uploading your heroes into heroplan.io (made by @GDIBass)
It will allow you to plan out your teams. If you āmakeā them in EP you can see what their TP would be & can then compare to see if they would be suitable.
Remember that Items ARE allowed so you CAN carpet bomb your way thru the 4k+ stages if needed
And gem continues I believe are also allowed, so you can spend your way to victory too if the carpet bombing leaves you choking on carpet frays and threads.
Unlevelled 5-star will do Ok. Just have to temper your expectations if youāve never used a SS at 1/1 before. Direct damage is weak, but healing is even weaker. Unleveled 4*s are probably a step behind trainer heroes.
Letās see. Iāve got an unleveled LJ @ TP 312. A max 3-star is TP 450-ish, 3-star trainers are 289 TP. 1st level recommended TP is 1800 which implies five heroes at 360 each. Unleveled 5-stars are 395 or better.
As long as your specials do not overlap too much and each has a specific purpose I think rainbow is fine. Iāve always managed fine that way but I guess thatās just me.
I ran the beta with rainbow teams up to the point where the recommended TP hit ~4k. This time around I think I may run a recon group of disposable 3-stars just to scout the bosses.
Well thatās depressingā¦
I was rooting for multiple rewardsā¦judging by the posted info/comments, it sounds like this is going to be a uniquely difficult quest.
I just hope itās worth my while haha
