Lower Troop feeding cost

[zephyr1]

I’m going to leave this thread as a request to lower the food costs for troops.

I will say, I don’t think that will happen. Troops are designed to be a long, slow grind that takes orders of magnitude longer to level than heroes do, since they can be reused with any hero of the same color.

And ultimately, unless you’re going to purchase a very large number of Epic Troop Summons, it’s not the food costs, but the lack of feeders troops that limits the pace of your progress. And in the late mid-game and end-game stages, food is abundant, even excessive.

That said, if you find yourself suddenly getting a 4* troop you’d like to feed, and you have a lot of feeders on hand, you can manage the process to be more efficient in food consumption:

There’s no particular merit in feeding troops in batches, with one exception:

Suppose you have a huge stash of feeder troops and finally draw that 4* troop you’ve been holding them for. How do you use them and your food most wisely?

1. Use the 1* first (feed from the bottom). Food cost per feeder rises as the level of the receiving troop rises. So you want to minimize the number of feeders used at the higher levels.
2. Bring the target troop just up to, but not over, the level required. Then feed a batch of ten. All of these ten will be charged food cost of the starting level of the troop, saving you a chunk of hams.
