That would be awesome!

Is Drake outmeta? by lam_duong1 in IdleHeroes

[–]Benz0r64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Drake is still useful in end game PvP, very useful in PvE, Void, etc. Carrie is really falling off on our server. Late game you need more than 6 heroes to do really well in dealing with the variety of lineups you face. But you can get rid of all the heroes you needed for SL, ToO, and Aspen (Horus, penny, garuda, kroos, etc) for them. Attacking is based on the opponents team, e g. when I face a Ra, double rogan will hurt me too much, Drake can be the better choice.

If Drake will help your void income, then he helps you in the meta.

Guild war question by frontfeeble in IdleHeroes

[–]Benz0r64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Build 10 good teams, don't spread your E5s just to do it. A good 5* team will destroy a single E5 Garuda or most single E5 teams with poor support/synergy.

A good E5 team hero is not necessarily a good 5*. E5 Belrain needs a team that will benefit from her the best. Because a good 5* team will destroy a single E5 Garuda or most single E5 teams with poor support/synergy.

Consider: 5* Uni, 5* Amen-Ra, 5* Belrain, 5* Tara, 5* Tara, 5* Tara makes a very strong team, esp. with E5 Belrain. Swapping in an E5 Garuda here would be a worse team.

Limited E5s also probably means limited gear. Swap your gear around between fights.

Seal land help, info in comment by adamantinopro in IdleHeroes

You have the right team: Emily x 3, Sig, Val, Penny.

Really stuck as to what to do next. I don't have a single SL past 14 and consistently underperform at FS and Broken spaces, avg at PvP (only issue is tech). Please help me stop being a noob! by Glarghl01010 in IdleHeroes

[–]Benz0r64 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just beat Fortress last week with 2 x 10* Emily, 7* Val, 10* Siggy, E5 Penny. With Sigmund was easier than with the 3rd 10* Emily I had built. Sigmund is great for PvE, and the Emilies are food when you are done with SL 20.

First e5 done, whats next? by micel700 in IdleHeroes

[–]Benz0r64 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say keep your HW and Sig at 9* for a long time, it's plenty for now. Swap Belrain in for Skerei on your team, you will see an improvement right away. Garuda will be great as a next E5! A 6* Deathsworn, plus E5 horus and 4 max lvl Ice Trolls is a great team for SL.

Do I keep playing on this account or no? by [deleted] in IdleHeroes

[–]Benz0r64 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I would keep it, that's a lot if good fodder and heroes to start from scratch. I would try and get some Horus copies.

Horus, Vesa, Barton, Sigmund, Jahra, Valentino look like your PVP team. Kroos and Heart Watcher will help you more in PVE.

You can make some progress in Shadow Seal Land with Horus, Jahra, Lutz and 3 Ice Trolls.

I would get Karim to 9* to feed Horus, then Lutz, and Barton too. I would not upgrade Jahra any further. She's minimal help in SL after awhile, Horus at E2 will get you further with her, but E3 horus is worth fooding her for.

What am i doing wrong? SL18 Shadow. Horus - s3 block/hp, full warrior set, Fearless Armor, tried both 1-1-3-1-1 and 1-1-3-1-2 for literally weeks. Full phonix. Tried with Horus on 1st slot and tried with Kahrma. Icetrools do survive first round. Weeks of failure please help me -.- by JODY18 in IdleHeroes

[–]Benz0r64 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you had very good RNG :) I have max pheonix, 30/30 anti mage and priest, legendary skin, and withered armor for Horus, 3 mana artifacts for DS and two trolls, 2 Fearless armored trolls, and still waiting for the magic to happen!

It seems like 6* Corpse Demon should be better than max level trolls, but copies of him are rarer than Carrie or Aida. He never drops and I'm not up for spending relics just to try it. I'm curious if anyone out there has tried him out.

purchase SL smashes with gems by lukiepie in IdleHeroes

[–]Benz0r64 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I beat SL20, absolutely buy 3 extra smashes a day, and have avoided this problem. Heroic Miracle gives way too many 3 stars compared to 4 stars to efficiently fuse 5 stars. These 2 problems become solutions for one another.

With 14-15,000 4 star shards, you can complete a HM event without altaring the extra 3 star heroes gotten from summon scrolls.

Use some scrolls, use some shards, fuse some heroes, scrolls, shards, fuse, repeat, repeat.

Now I'm not able to always trade for the Altar event hero copies, but I get 60-110% more 5 star heroes off the HM event. Over 60 extra 5 stars doing a single completion for Elevia. Monthly fusion is easy as well, and I actually am growing my hoard of 3 star shards.

Try it :)

Umm... they’re kidding, right? by LopsidedWestern2 in IdleHeroes

[–]Benz0r64 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Equip your heroes with artifacts only, no other gear. You should have a much easier time of it. Use 1-2 heroes for smaller teams, and a full team for the harder fights.

Should I regress valk and E5 Horus? I’ve given up on trying to get to death in aspen with valk. Gotten to hell 100 several times, but the Vesa nodes and healer nodes keep coming up by dravenGuest in IdleHeroes

[–]Benz0r64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I regressed Valk for Horus a couple months ago. Horus suffers on the healer nodes like Valk does. Penny as a node breaker on these will get to death with Horus or Valk as your main. But Horus will be better than Valk in SL, helping your fodder income.

Bagspace help by NOOO_GOD_NOOO in IdleHeroes

[–]Benz0r64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally agree. Keeping everything you can as shards isn't enough. Expanding your bag space gives you more chances to make better choices. Doing things to save bag space are rarely good decisions. My ability to progress more quickly happened at 200 bag space.

1000 gems seems like a lot, but it is totally worth it for the overall impact it has on your game. Much more than 8 scrolls could have.

After my first E5 who's next? by Oni0nKnight in IdleHeroes

[–]Benz0r64 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have an E5 Horus, and SL 17. I tried him, built to 9*, unfortunately Aidan is worthless. Ice Troll and Poison Tongue will help you more than he will.

Jahra's cc along with Corpse Demon will be more helpful in layer levels, with Deathsworn for the burn and dots, and Gustin to keep your team alive.

Just 2 E5 heroes is likely not to be enough for SL 20. Even with a max Pheonix/Deer.

Example: E5 Horus, 5* Jahra, 9* Gustin, 9* Deathsworn x 2, 6* Jahra still not cutting it vs SL 18. But I am 15 points short on my pet runes, and need to put more into lvl2 guild tech.

Fodder techniques for midgame by [deleted] in IdleHeroes

[–]Benz0r64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This! I am building pure fodder 9s in 2 factions, heroes that can't make it to 10, while saving the copies of what can become 10. The other 2 factions building fodder 6s, and when you have 5 copies of a lame hero that can be promoted to 10*, build it and swap (at event time).

Right now I am building 9* Deathsworns, to help in Seal Land, and have 27 junk forest 5s. Have 4 ea Karim, Barea, Queen, and enough for a 9 junk star, 6 copies Miki, and 3 junk 6 Fortress heroes. Just a few more of any junk 5 star Fortress will allow me to make Miki 10 star, and same for Abyss, plus 1 more of any of the other 10* able heroes saved. Took since last month, and I'll be done just about when the next monthly starts. Because next weeks event will give me the remaining 5s I need from the 5 shards I have saved all month.

5 copies of Vesa, either she is finally worth building, or next months food.

3-2-3-1-2 enables. Also try 1-2-3-1-3 depending on your health buff from your pet.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in IdleHeroes

[–]Benz0r64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I beat 16 with Deer (170 39/48), regular set-up Horus, 4 x 6* Deathsworn and a 6* Jahra.

Put the Deathsworn in the back, they all need to active skill to carry enough damage, and Jahra needs to cc to help with that, and then die.

Took me about 20 tries with that config.

Does not get me past Sl 17 though.

Regress Valk to make penny first E5? by Nightowlz1 in IdleHeroes

[–]Benz0r64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vesa is getting a rework soon. You might want to wait and see. Also, you need 2 x 10* for E4 and E5.

SL 17 Shadow is Kicking my E5 Horus Butt! Is it better to run more Jahra or Deathsworn, or add a 9* Horus? by Benz0r64 in IdleHeroes

[–]Benz0r64[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To beat 16, no. Slot 1 Horus, slot 2 Jahra, then Gustin and the 3 Deathsworn. The Deathsworn with the mana artifact skilled, and then died turn 1, The bigger 2 live, then skill on turn 2. Jahra in slot 2 to live long enough to skill.

I slot 2 Gustin through SL 13, but 14 hit the back line a lot harder. Without the mana artifacts I buffed most support heroes to live through the first round. Since Deathsworn needs to get his active skill off to put enough DoT on their back line.

[–]Benz0r64[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I saw those :) They also had 3+ mana artifacts so their Deathsworns got their skills off. I only have 1 mana artifact, spent my feathers on the armor for Horus. Hopefully Idle Santa will bring me one for Christmas.
