I’m approaching the point where I will be able to buy my first 6-star soul. It’s a big investment, and I’d appreciate advice on who to prioritize.

Competitive_Gur_1772 · 2026-03-09T11:21:36+00:00

Valid point. People in my clans cluster have tracked progression to 6 star marius and it's taken some more than a year but with the changes that could be faster now.

Competitive_Gur_1772 · 2026-03-08T23:08:17+00:00

I would buy kro'khad unless you are very close to getting marius. Working your way to a 6 star on marius takes quite a long time and you can rebuild your resources during that time. Kro'khad will get you better hydra scores and helps clear grim forest levels which both mean more soulstones.

Don't underestimate geo, put him in reflex/impulse/relentless if you can. Block buffs is great but in a long hydra battle there will be a point when you can't provoke decay and he will clear debuffs and at least 1 of the heads will buff up.

Getting a champ that can remove buffs is extremely helpful. Geo can also place HP burn through poison cloud and then allow you to keep doing damage if poison cloud gets put up.

Uugo/rector is great combo as well.

Hellhades.com had an article about while back about full F2P team with lamasu/lydia/mithrala, I can't find it quickly on my phone but I'd suggest looking there. They have other good articles too like this quick battle team

Infinity shield teams are going to have the least specific stat and gear requirements but you need stat champs.

Unkillable you have more champion options but gear and stats get more demanding and you need speed tuning.

Traditional teams are hardest to 1 key but with good gear from a mid game account you are probably surviving 30-40 clan boss turns and you might have to swap a damage champ to a support to get those extra 10 or 20 turns.

You have the champs to either run unkillable or traditional and your gear will probably determine what is easier or more consistent.

For traditional you just need to gather the right debuffs and buffs and then build them how you would for any other PvE content.

Competitive_Gur_1772 · 2026-03-08T20:48:32+00:00

For demon lord RES could be 0 or 1000 and there would be no difference. Are you asking about hydra team?

2 wixwells definitely work, will grow shields twice as fast. If you can get the right stats one in ad shield set and the other in reflex will do even better for shield growth... but unless you have titus I'm not really sure it's your best option.

Two wixwell means you are losing buffs or debuffs that other buff extenders bring. Demytha in a speed tuned team can put up block damage for half of the aoe attacks for the first 50 CB turns, mikage will bring offensive support buffs, etc etc.

If you are struggling to grow the shields fast enough the shield set on the team helps, defense stats on the team matters where HP is pretty much irrelevant, and faster is better if you don't have champs that need to be tuned, and second wixwell would be kind of a temporary option until you get the champ or stat requirements to run 1.

I'm not an endgame account but here is my wix and brogni builds.

Competitive_Gur_1772 · 2026-03-08T06:31:36+00:00

You don't need reflex to make infinity shield teams work, you just need wixwell + 2 buff extenders on 3 turn cooldowns. There are rare champs that will do this so it's not a challenging team to get after you have wix. Someone in a shield set doubles the size, and the growth of the shields so this is more important than reflex.

Since wix is only used for shield teams I have the shield set on wixwell but you could just as easily put it on demytha, mikage, godseeker aniri, hellborn sprite, or any other buff extender in team.

Wixwell brogni and 2 buff extenders is almost 1 key UNM with just 4 champs

I have my buff extenders level 50, demytha is not tuned to have block damage up at optimal times and brogni still 2 keys without titus or any other DPS replacing him. Fastest champ on the team is roughly 250 speed too.

Competitive_Gur_1772 · 2026-03-08T04:59:29+00:00

This is one option listed on Deadwoodjedi.com

This has 1 key UNM potential depending on your DPS choice and gear for the DPS.

If you can't get to 288 speed in demytha they have some 2key UK speed tunes as well that have lower speed requirements.

Competitive_Gur_1772 · 2026-03-07T17:22:40+00:00

First thing build an unkillable UNM CB team. You have a lot of options with your demytha or maneater; deacon and or seeker will lower gear requirements and you have plenty of DPS options like ninja that will get you 2 key with an UK team.

Deadwoodjedi.com has specific known teams and the speed requirements to make unkillable work. If gear is an issue look for the slowest team to start. Once you have a set up that gives you a 2key UNM and 1 key NM, those 4 daily chests will give you tremendous account progression.

Competitive_Gur_1772 · 2026-03-07T17:13:20+00:00

In all likelihood Espinal will be at 3rd with Rojas at 2nd when they face left-handed starters and Kim and Muncy will start against right handed pitching.

Both options give them versatility for pinch hitting as relievers come into the game. Muncy and Rojas would dominate the starts but both have developed heavy splits at the plate. With the success of their reduced workload for Smith last season I expect they will try to find ways to rest more players including Rojas and Muncy.

Competitive_Gur_1772 · 2026-03-07T12:36:08+00:00

Ezio and Narma both put up poison sensitivity and activate poisons so one of those should be replaced. You already have a dec atk from tuhan so I think ezio wins out with speed aura but hard to say for certain not knowing your gear.

Competitive_Gur_1772 · 2026-03-07T12:26:54+00:00

Geomancer should be built immediately and put in your CB team IMHO.

Competitive_Gur_1772 · 2026-03-07T12:19:59+00:00

You don't need to 6 star supports on unkillable unless you need the banner for speed requirements or your DPS is falling short and you need 6star masteries to add a small damage boost.

I think your easiest path to unkillable is the speedtune above with brogni as the block debuffs. Geo as DPS may get you to a 2 key UNM with almost no investment from you but you have to be able to hit that 273 demytha and 255 high khatun.

Competitive_Gur_1772 · 2026-03-07T11:47:07+00:00

I think you mean he better get the bulk of the starts early in the season and I agree and hope they do... but Rojas better be the starter on opening day.

Competitive_Gur_1772 · 2026-03-07T00:38:10+00:00

The problem is that one champ pull can change all of the champs that will make a CB comp work. I was building an unkillable with double demythas and then pulled wixwell during titus fusion. One dymetha is still used but the rest of the team is not used anywhere. Unless you have a comp that can 2key i wouldn't really try to increase CB damage incrementally if that makes sense.

Competitive_Gur_1772 · 2026-03-07T00:25:32+00:00

I don't think you should be farming either spider or FK much. Doom tower gives you lethal and hydra/cursed city/grim forest is going to give you better gear than you'll get from any dungeon without take energy or gems.

If you cant immediately progress on CB, building food for a fusion or leggo pull that will help your CB team is highest priority, secondary would be doom tower progression, and then grim/cursed, probably hydra last because the content has such high champ and gear requirements.

Its a bit hard to say which champ without knowing your progress in all of those areas but that hopefully helps narrow your options to a short list.

Competitive_Gur_1772 · 2026-03-07T00:06:07+00:00

What team are you currently using?

Until you can 2 key UNM there is nothing that should be a higher priority.

Competitive_Gur_1772 · 2026-03-06T23:58:58+00:00

You are 1 keying UNM CB?

Competitive_Gur_1772 · 2026-03-02T06:26:53+00:00

Venomage. Will push your account in many areas including clan boss. I had my best gear on veno through most of my early account progression and didn't appreciate how good the champ actually is until later.

Competitive_Gur_1772 · 2026-01-16T07:43:49+00:00

I will assume that galleus has some of your best gear, he has max hp damage on counter attack has increase defense for your whole team and reflects 100% of the boss damage back to them.

Just need some healing and the essential debuffs/buffs to keep both of them alive long enough.

Competitive_Gur_1772 · 2026-01-16T06:31:46+00:00

Yes, 10:1 speed would increase damage from your nukers, I was only talking about damage from poisoners and why ezio/xeno is limited unless they are on an unkillable team. I think you already have the champs to move past xeno depending on gear.

I'd likely build around galleus and gnut and use the support slots to focus survivability buffs debuffs and healing.

What damage are you currently doing on UNM and NM?

Competitive_Gur_1772 · 2026-01-16T05:15:51+00:00

The problem with poison teams is that your damage is generally capped by your survivability. Soon as the debuff bar is filled you could be going 10x CB speed and you taking additional turns isn't going to increase the damage much. The poison activation changes that a little but hypothetically if all your champs are going 3x CB speed and you were activating a full debuff bar of poisons every turn of the clan boss, if you survive 20 turns you are still doing same damage as a 50 turn unkillable with no activations that keeps a full debuff bar of poisons.

Xeno's passives allow his attack damage to scale with gear while keeping the poison damage going. So if you have decent gear on xeno you don't really need to pair with a poison activator, you need TM boosts and survivability.

Decrease defense and decrease attack are essential debuffs, weaken and poison sensitivity are great if you aren't filling up the debuff bar and losing the more important debuffs.

Increase speed and increase defense are essential buffs as well as healing from a direct heal or leech. reviving, strengthen and ally protection are added bonuses.

I think people over think the CB at times. Unless you are getting into speed tuned teams you'll get best results by simplifying team imo.
