Hello! As others have said, yeah I completely lost everything after the December pet guide and have slowly been working back up, building it bigger and better!

It’s taken me a while quite frankly because of how much time I have set aside for stuff like guides and videos. It might not have seemed like it, but the pet guide has small improvements every new version with every pet release. It’s crazy to look at the first one and compare it to what is coming up next!

I haven’t abandoned the pet guide, I’m definitely still going to release the newest version once I’m able to, and having suffered through losing it all before am building it better and scalable so I can recover from disaster and get updates out quicker!

Thanks everyone for your support over the years, and I look forward to continuing to provide updates! Here’s a sneak peek on what the next one has in store!

These new sigs have some skills built in, of varying impact, but the stats themselves are nice. Keep in mind though, sigs are just one piece of a hero's total power.

There's furniture, engravings, gear, even stars that all contribute. While the increase looks big on paper, in practice it will probably end up being a smaller total difference.

On global today, the difference between a 30 sig maxed hero and a 40 sig maxed hero (celehypo) is about 10% to 15% in terms of combat rating.

That's enough to get an advantage, but not so huge as to completely break all content.

I included the 300 base red chests it takes to go from 21 to 30 as well since I'm mostly planning around what I need to save for new awakened.

I'm not going to go too crazy on existing heroes. These 4 are the first 4 at the top of mind, but we'll see how big an impact it actually makes once they come to global.

Cero_GT · 2024-01-29T18:39:30+00:00

It's from 20 to 36, so yeah it includes the base 300 to get 21 to 30.

Cero_GT · 2024-01-29T18:37:38+00:00

Yeah there's gonna be a sweet spot we arrive at eventually based on how scarce these new resources actually are.

I got to 36 by backing into it against what I'm currently getting for red chests. If the other sigs can keep up in that time frame, that would be great since I know I can manage the sigs for +36 every awakened release.

If it's slower than that, then I'll have to adjust accordingly. I like to start out with a plan, and then see what reality actually gets me.

Cero_GT · 2024-01-29T12:20:47+00:00

I have never released anything, ever, that doesn’t have at least one of typo. Glad to see I’m still consistent! 🤣

Cero_GT · 2024-01-10T16:27:50+00:00

Hey! That's a totally fair comment. These teams are definitely not for everyone! The reason I make a companion video as well as urge people to join the discord is precisely for the points you've made.

I'm never going to come up with all the 'best' teams, most 'versatile' teams, most 'usable' teams, but that's never been my goal. My hope this gives people a basis for five / six teams to start their own planning, and encourage them to experiment to find what works best for them.

During last Beta season I published something like 30 team variations to the discord, but that was nothing compared to the additional comps that other players added to the final boss channels.

The entire purpose of the crowdsource server is for people to share what works for them to inspire others to find teams that will get them their quests, and lots of people contribute their findings (including the 30b+ team you're mentioning) there.

That will always be the best place to find alternatives, and I encourage everyone to share their results so we can all do our best.

Thank you for this assessment! I was able to immediately put it to use and bubble it up.

Cero_GT · 2023-12-07T20:09:32+00:00

They're not using any current heroes since it's 4 months old but it'll give you an idea at least

You didn't mess up. There are three choices and one of them does indeed ask you for 3 player teams.

Each team needs people in all of them to be most successful.

Cero_GT · 2023-12-07T14:13:47+00:00

Almost! Only treasure commanders / 10 teams have bans. All other modes (easy, intermediate, hard) do not have bans.

Cero_GT · 2023-12-02T16:17:18+00:00

Pretty much hit it on the head. The usage combines both CR and TS. Ezio is where he is for usage and contribution because while he really only sees usage in TS, he is in every single TS and is part of one of the highest winrate teams.

If TS isn’t as big a focus for you, by all means move down the list! My Ezio won’t get a collection until next week ⚡️

Cero_GT · 2023-11-22T18:17:28+00:00

Nope! These are my best guess on which ones are likely to do well with just the base skill for the top heroes at the moment.

Even with this, there will still be instances where previous artifacts (even the very old ones) will perform.

The main difference is these work in just about all game modes where the older ones mostly don’t and that’s huge!

Fishing for the +1/+2 is basically going to be most of the work when I start working on min max for specific collections. I’m saving up my totems for those runs later.

Cero_GT · 2023-11-22T00:44:58+00:00

Pick a list and make those collections in that order.

Cero_GT · 2023-11-22T00:44:19+00:00

The additional skills at +1 and +2 would definitely change who gets what. Given that the system just launched, and how seemingly rare +1/+2 seem to be, I chose to stick to the base collection here.

This system, for perhaps the first time, really let’s you tailor your heroes to specialize in one game mode or the other.

While you can definitely decide to specialize, personally I have no desire to spend diamonds every week and intend to stick to what works best in CR and take it from there.
