Troops - Which troops do I keep?

From my understanding, kage + mana % gains from his class + mana troops + sakura family mana boost can bring kage down to 5 tiles. Is that true?

Looks like there’s a ton of great information already! I think the thing I’m always forgetting is the break points for mana troops.

I’ve found the link that @_John_Doe posted to be very helpful. The photo with yellow highlighting that shows what level mana troops speeds up the tiles, specifically. Since newbies are already confused by so many things, if you can find a way to simplify that information into ‘newbie speak’ I think that’s important info to add to your initial post. The levels listed can be used as goal markers for those leveling more than 1 troop of a color.

So if you’re missing a 4* troop in a certain color, hold your feeders til you get one.

Personally I would work on my 3* troops until I get a rainbow in 4* troops. The RNG paywall can be brutal for an individual player

@Gryphonknight

Only epic troop token ( gold color ), has a chance of 4* troops. Based on RNG you could go months or years without a 4* Troop. Once you get a 4* Troop, you could go decades without a rainbow set of 4* troops.

Generally 3* lvl 10 troops = 4* lvl 1 troops and 3* lvl 20 troops = 4* lvl 11 troops so I would concentrate on your 3* troops for now.

Assuming 2 Epic Troop tokens per month

@Gryphonknight

Out of 10k players
100+ will go 5 years without a green 4* Troop

[Garanwyn]

It feels like there should be a cut over point, though, where the incremental benefit of leveling your 3* troops further vs saving to level a 4* would tilt in favor of starting to save.

If we could estimate a gain rate in feeder troops, we could actually use your RNG paywall probabilities to calculate an expected stat gain from saving vs. from feeding the existing 3* troop given the 3* troop level.

@Rigs

kage + mana % gains from his class + mana troops + sakura family mana boost can bring kage down to 5 tiles ?

a very fast needs +9% for 6 tiles and 31% for 5 tiles
kage

• class lvl 19 gives him 2%
• sakura family 2/3/4/5 = 2%/4%/7%/12%
• troop mana -lvl1 5% / lvl5 7%/ lvl11 9%/ lvl17 11%/ lvl24 13%/ lvl29 15%

so adding max values gives 29% total < 31% needed >>> conclusion NO

Yup, but realistically the only ones that can be touched ftm are class talent lvl8 (rogues and rangers) added with troop lvl17 as posted here: Troops - Which troops do I keep? - #21 by _John_Doe

Also Khagan (if im not mistaken is the only slow rogue/ranger) can go to 11 tiles with class talent lvl8 and troop lvl 11.

the rest need class talent lvl 19 or troop lvl 23 minimum.

I found a roster of troops with their levels

great work! This guide is good help, troops can be one of the more intimidating aspects of the game and this is very informative

Hello Jedon Regular
I have been playing this EP for at least 6 months, and have spent ca $ 250 USD.
One thing I want to know is that it seems I have lost one of the 4* blue troop out of nothing …? how come? The machine is cheating …

[Sarah2]

You might want to lock the 4* troops so you don’t accidentally feed them (click on the padlock on the troop pic).

[Jedon]

Exactly what @Sarah2 said.

[hayatti80]

Hello, I have troops and your explanation was nice, but I was wondering why is there a lock on my troops locked or unlocked? The lock im talking about is in left hand top corner. Please advise.

[QuattroGam3r]

When locked, you can’t accidentally feed them to level another troop. Same theory as the lock on the heroes cards.
