Hi Kinggerbs, I want to review heroes when requested! I will add him to my list so that when the Gargoyles come back around (because it makes sense to write about them normally when they are at the portal), if there’s no op superstar, I’ll pick him up.
Thank you for reading my blog.

Hello OldCynic! First of all, I enjoy reading your blog a lot - so thank you for that, I believe you are one of the only ones who make their content in a ridden form instead of Youtube.
I don’t remember if you’ve done a post about troops yet - it would be cool to hear your opinions do you swear by crit troops, mana troops, Magic troops or Styx troops.

Hi Quiet, I do have this Troops guide which I’ve updated with new Troops (Magic/Styx) as they’ve arrived: Empires and Puzzles Troops: A Complete Guide • OLD CYNIC
I prefer Mana over nearly everything else in this game so Magic were my favourite when they arrived. Now with Cyclopes, I’d have to say, them (bypass over healing).
That said, I only seem to pick up Magic/Styx Troops for my weakest Element; Fire!
