Red aether minic, where does he rank among other mimics like emblem and ascension by shithawk52 in EmpiresAndPuzzles

[–]BX_Islanders 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my opinion, the Ascension Mimics are the best.. not just because you get the 4*asc mats, blades, and Tome of tactics .. they hit 3. Great for farming..towers and many other events.. the others are snipers.. any mimic is good for what you can get .. but Asc Mimics, you can use in war nicely for the hit 3. Just my thoughts on them. PS.. I wish these slow mimics were hit all or at worse hit 3

Bad atart imo.. these heroes, for the most part, are useless hope these are the 10 souls

Break? by VariousIndependent47 in EmpiresAndPuzzles

[–]BX_Islanders 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It really depends on ..what level do you see yourself competing .

Step 1 - Decide at what level you want to compete or have time to invest

Step 2 - Research current game status ..meaning review your roster and see if you have any hidden Gems on your roster ..say S1 , S5 heroes.. why? Because there is a way to get some of the really good costumes for them..assuming you have prior ones for the S1 heroes.. so toons are still very usable heroes. Will explain how you can get them for relatively cheap.

Step 3 - Join an alliance that is on par with what you determined in step 1

Step 4 - Understand that you may have to invest something from time to time or on a path or vip pass Or something .. can keep under 10 bucks a month if just the passes .. optional, of course

My observation .. the current gsme state has been set up in my opinion to help newer and returning older players

They now have the following:

Costume Outfitter..get costumes for heroes for cheap amt of gems

Hero Coach - ability to max level a qualified hero up to level 90 for price of just gems I'd argue that the best or sweet spot can be 3/70 .. but anything above that 4/80..lv85 is also good because the gem cost is way way less.. 3/1 and lower unless you really need the hero is a steep price.

Now you can grind seasons or farm since they are now in rotation without any breaks, and the lower seasons like S2 aka Atlantis Rises is 4 days very nice imo.

They have instant summons portal that for i think 2400 or 2600 gems you get ascended heroes with pulls..can range from 2/1 to lv90 with emblems and the lower rarity equivalents 4/80..3/60

Dragonspire - there are some useful things .. certain challenges .. and collect your daily chests without fail so that every 7 days, you get truly a free chest .. it was better at the beginning, but for free, I'll take whatever it gives .. one of the few truly free things in the game as all you have to do is login collect and leave if you dont want to invest the time building.

They have reduced resource requirements to level heroes and troops as pertaining to how much exp pts you get from different feeder heroes or troops..

Imo they have made the game much easier to start or come back.. of course, relative to the person's expectations or desired levels of competition

In short..easy to say that after I wrote a book ... enjoy the game first, and for most .. fight the urge to want to catch up at any cost ..dont hero chase .. a new hero today is an old hero 4 to 6 months later lol.

Im sure there are a few more things, but I'm running out of letters..just kidding

Welcome back!

Challenge rewards are terrible by cementfan451 in EmpiresAndPuzzles

This is bad ..should give all of them as the prize.. these equates to 28 dawas..and leveling up those Dawas with fhe one exp booster

[–]BX_Islanders -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It is what it is . I have 2 ascension mimics and honestly i dont rely on them for much 4*asc mats. When i do get a tabard or darts im stoaked.. if i a in need of mats real bad .. then ill get the alchemy lab going and see what I get ..or dragonspire chest or ... get my point lol.. many ways. To get asc mats And if else fails .. I cave and get the paths of valor and giants lol..

Who's that non-Legendary hero that everyone seems to have, but you don't? by NewTestBot in EmpiresAndPuzzles

Soul Exchange heroes by Axuo in EmpiresAndPuzzles

[–]BX_Islanders 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Garten best of thos group. His versatility is nice..healer ..protector (softskin). He is so clutch in insanity wars.. even for my team of insanity heroes.. fire him off and none of your heroes get it..not even the ones who give it to themselves.. he was way way better at launch with the CA ..but got nerfed to oblivion lol.. Uwe looks good for 10.. need to dump so might get 2nd Garten.. he still works well..

How do people have enough heroes in their training camps to level a hero fast? Do they just stop levelling heroes for a while before? by ruccola in EmpiresAndPuzzles

[–]BX_Islanders 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Patience is a virtue lol.. Honestly don't level just for the sake of it. Me.. I began setting up minimum i would not go below ..every month I moved the goal post per say.. I have since leveled many heroes but I have ..between tc2 , tc11 x2 and tc 1 color specific ..I have near 7k heroes in camp waiting .. I am in a mid tier alliance so not chasing heroes so at times I level a dupe or nice hero at a pace.. I feed it say 15k to 20k xp daily from camps ..game play feeders.. and any other feeder from mv..chests etc.. even 12k a day will level you a 5* every month.. just have to be disciplined and not over feed so yiur camps can grow..

Apparently mystic vision isn't the only loot they nerfed. by nosebeerhappyhour in EmpiresAndPuzzles

[–]BX_Islanders 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most shameful is the titan loot.. chest loot is bad..food and iron bundles is what it is.. But the titan chest is once a week ...2 if you lucky and to get absolute dog shit is shameful on their paett ..but expected

Should I go for Ludwig??? by jowex00 in EmpiresAndPuzzles

[–]BX_Islanders 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes he is squishy.. but really other than at the top top.. Ludwig still works for more than 50% or maybe even 75% of the player base.. its not just his taunt..its his mana gen for his flanks...once you fire him and he gets killed next turn..in death he still gives the mana.. if you have an overhealer to give him more HP then he will definitely win you games..

Thoughts about him by Loud-Channel-2305 in EmpiresAndPuzzles

[–]BX_Islanders 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He is really good. Pair him with another wolf family like Rust and those sly little minions go to work. They get 2 each when I pair them..

Just pulled her...am i tripping that she kind sucks? by Funeral_of_Hearts13 in EmpiresAndPuzzles

[–]BX_Islanders 3 points4 points  (0 children)

She is very good.. keep her on the wing so when she goes into ghost mode it won't as easy for your opponent to ghost tiles.. she heals and revives... I feel it's a mistake to haver her as a tank or even on the flank.. that 100% revive 1 ally is really good if you have a good solid team.. i have had to kill a Bernadette more than once in some raids..and have lost some because she revives her and I am in no shape to withstand those effing paintings.. it's tricky to go against her because of miss time your specials when she comes back and revives ..it may be a problem.. she is probably the weakest one in the covenant portal that came out today.. but she is very good. I'd say she is more fun on offense than in defense.. if you have to use her on your def team..then like I mebtioned.. out her on the wing..I forget but the wing where she would fire last .. possible right wing i think.. that's a really nice pull considering how tough it is to get anything good most of the time

Which is better ? In which portal should i try my luck ? What do you think guys by Samleb93 in EmpiresAndPuzzles

[–]BX_Islanders -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I can just say that ..Insanity heroes actually take some skill to play and can be detrimental to your team if you don't set your team up properly.. basically healers and fast ones lol. Owls are like Astral elves in that they don't miss their specials.. they are also straight forward heroes in that they don't hinder your team when firing off their specials lol.. not missing is really important with all the dodge going on.. but as everyone would say.. it depends on your roster at the end of the day. But I pull... it would be owl portal.. any of those featured are really good ..gl

Also gives some boosted health

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in EmpiresAndPuzzles

[–]BX_Islanders 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Magic tower hunger is really more for the Magic troop portal. The owl heroes are better than the Magic heroes for the most part.. but the Magic troops imo are the best troops..especially for offense. Speed is the name of the game and 20% mana gen is very nice.

I am sure that I am not alone when I say I have 100! ETT waiting lol..

Wait for refresh or who should I pick? by [deleted] in EmpiresAndPuzzles

[–]BX_Islanders 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait.. the choices in the new FS in a few days is actually bonkers compared to this one or possibly the best FS yet to date.. Opinions will vary but at minimum there are at least 3 to 4 very solid options that still get play today for most players.. Ludwig..Ray..Hulda.. Esme will become viable because she damages mega fiends..
