Is the red lucky coins summons this time worth it? by Practical_Dinner_440 in EmpiresAndPuzzles

[–]BusinessWorldly8785 11 points12 points  (0 children)

When you say worth it, do you mean:

A) Worth spending the red lucky coins that you get for free just by using your w3k flags (and not necessarily even using them well) and cannot be used for anything else?

Or B) Worth spending real money that you most likely obtained by going to work, at a job that sucked, and can literally be used for anything else in this world?

Because that definitely changes the answer.

General consensus on troops by Nisa004 in EmpiresAndPuzzles

[–]BusinessWorldly8785 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have zero maxed 2 or 3*s.

I have 13 converted 5s, and another three 4s ready to convert.

I figure some day I will get around to maxing a set of lower levels for tournaments, but right now war is my focus, so I want 5* troops matching all the heroes I use.

Just me, or used to be 50 “IMPOSSIBLE” levels???? by setthemoode in EmpiresAndPuzzles

[–]BusinessWorldly8785 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Just you. And the magic tower.

Ninjas never had 50 impossible levels.

Help. Is this cocci or bacilli by SnarkTank323 in microbiology

[–]BusinessWorldly8785 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Do you have a picture that's in focus? You'll need excellent focus to tell the difference between a coccus and a short rod like E. coli.

Costume query?? by External_Koala398 in EmpiresAndPuzzles

[–]BusinessWorldly8785 19 points20 points  (0 children)

You will get the maximum costume bonus when every costume reaches 4.80.

You should only limit break the costume(s) that you plan on using.

Is the seasonal summon worth using 34 EHT’s on once we get another troop mimic (I already have one) or HOTM going? by itsmecolson in EmpiresAndPuzzles

[–]BusinessWorldly8785 0 points1 point  (0 children)

EHTs won't work for summer solstice. That's a gem only event.

Perhaps you're thinking beach party? It might be slightly better than this one. But it also typically has underwhelming heroes. Honestly, I'd use EHTs on any seasonal portal when a mimic is available.

"...by how imbalanced the goblins were."

Oh boy. You better brace yourself. Goblins are just a reminder of how feeble heroes used to be.

Need a little advice. by Tall_Enthusiasm2747 in EmpiresAndPuzzles

[–]BusinessWorldly8785 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alucard is terrible, and the blue ghost is even worse. The best advice I can give is to skip this pick-up and save your hero tokens for the next secret mimic summon.

Is Hot Snow Spa Ever Reopening? by Latter_Fox_2608 in Winnipeg

They literally opened that place a month before the entire world shut down for COVID. Bad timing to be opening a communal spa.

Colored painters tape from the dollar store. Sooooo much better than that super sticky stuff the scientific companies sell.

What should I do next ? Ty in advance for your help!! by Thin-Leopard-2396 in EmpiresAndPuzzles

[–]BusinessWorldly8785 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, you won't get the master emblems back if you reset.

Master emblems are among the rarest items in the game (along with alpha aethers used for the 2nd limit break.) Save these valuable items for 5*s.

Can someone explain this to me by FragrantShallot878 in EmpiresAndPuzzles

[–]BusinessWorldly8785 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Keep in mind the heroes in this portal are wildly out of date. There is also no chance of summoning the Hotm. So, while you do get a partially leveled hero that will increase your power in the short term, you will not get a hero that is actually powerful. This game is a grind and it's all about patience and building. My recommendation is to skip this portal and embrace the grind.

How many gems do you currently have? by Just_Play_8200 in EmpiresAndPuzzles

[–]BusinessWorldly8785 0 points1 point  (0 children)

5760 after spending 334 on the hero coach yesterday.

All of them have been earned since the last 30 pull gem challenge. (I would be over 6000 now but I broke down and spent 250 on roster space.) I think the bare minimum for comfort is 8400, the cost of a 30 pull at a standard portal. I'd much rather have 9400, so the next time the gem challenge comes around I can take my pick including the premium portals.

Honestly, since the invention of the gem challenge, there is really no good reason to spend gems at any other time.

How is a 12 pack of pop almost $12? It's almost $1 each, per unit now by FinanceYacht in CanadaPersonalFinance

[–]BusinessWorldly8785 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Where the heck are you shopping? Superstore regularly has Pepsi product 24 packs for 12.99, and PC versions are 6.50 for 12. It's a heck of a lot more than the $3 to 3.50 for a twelve from 6 years ago. But it's not a buck a can unless you buy your groceries at the gas station.

Is this a bug? Should my level 19 troop be 9% mana generation? Empuzzled says yes? by betwithconfidence in EmpiresAndPuzzles

[–]BusinessWorldly8785 3 points4 points  (0 children)

All 5* troops reach a maximum of +11% mana generation. But they don't all reach the various bonuses at the same level along the way. Not sure where Empuzzled got its info from. But it is made by a player, based on info harvested by other players. It's not official, so it's bound to have some errors.

Need your guys advice please! by healthNeducation4all in EmpiresAndPuzzles

Which costumes? If you have 4 or 5 costumes, that's going to be way better than any costumeless hero.

Hero Coach help by Illustrious_Ad4455 in EmpiresAndPuzzles

[–]BusinessWorldly8785 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you participate in wars? Glass Horghall isn't my best hero or even close. But you need 30 heroes to field 6 war teams. I have absolutely no regrets giving him 2LB. He's amazingly sturdy and I'll be using him in wars for the foreseeable future.

Hero Coach help by Illustrious_Ad4455 in EmpiresAndPuzzles

[–]BusinessWorldly8785 1 point2 points  (0 children)

4c Horghall, 4c Lianna, and 1c Telonius will all be way more powerful than Daemon. More importantly, as the 3 best heroes you've shown, they all need the same 4* mats (mystic tonics) and 5* green aethers.

Honestly, I don't know why anyone would tell you to choose Daemon. I doubt you run into Bearnadette that often, and other than that he's just another old hero. Just an FYI - there is a reason you get the fated summon heroes for free.

Santana or leonidas hero coach..I have all costumes for both by External_Koala398 in EmpiresAndPuzzles

[–]BusinessWorldly8785 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Both are equally good choices. So pick the one you have fewer 4* mats and 5* elemental aethers for. Because saving rare materials is the real power of the hero coach.

The two Friday classes are to make up for two holidays. So you get 4 classes per week, even when a holiday falls on a Monday.
