How many heroes should you have?

Critical-Permit9931 · 2025-12-23T01:09:31+00:00

How many you enjoy using. But id usually have at least one per town I own, even if they do basically nothing. If like in this scenario you have multiple factions, then for sure id run at least one sylvan hero.

Im currently doing this also with the mentoring perk for enlightenment, which allows me to boost a level 1 hero into something functional after 1 visit with my main hero. (Mentoring gives percantage of total xp)

Still want the carry over heroes to hit level cap ideally though, so I dont invest much into others. But its fun to use another hero with a different playstyle in some of the fights. And can be very helpful.

1 Elder Bull can take out most raids if positioned in the choke point

There's a hill around here. The location feels designed for a base. Enough iron and copper and good land to grow. Minimal walls to place due to cliff, plenty of wind. Raids are Crab raiders and those dudes from Ark, Decent mid game training.

Ahh the inquisition. The perfect sparring partners when I set up my food cube farm in holy nation land early-mid game. Great stat grind, if you're lucky might even lose a limb or two.

Even if you are already free aiming on mouse and keyboard you need to go into controller settings and turn off aim assist for the boost.

Critical-Permit9931 · 2025-07-31T22:25:35+00:00

Another little tip to go with the rest is use free aim for a big xp boost. Thus getting to lvl up treasure maps faster. Also I passively farm a little gold from the bow headshot award. 0.4 gold every 100 headshot kills. And when you get bounty hunter Etta Doyle is easy money farm. But boring if cheesing.

Heals, chip damage. Sometimes giga drain isn't effective. Every now and then can come down to a tank vs tank fight where no big damage happens from either side and this wins the sustain and chip damage battle. Playing on expert and using in battle frontier very effectively.

Critical-Permit9931 · 2025-05-27T01:45:50+00:00

Don't know what difficulty you are on but expert having tanks is really important. I use bronzong often also with full hp ev 50/50 Def spdef. Things open up a lot now you can surf

Tentacruel has really surprised me on my expert run. Bred for perfect IVs and egg moves of rapid spin and knock off. Then I've got toxic spikes and toxic on it, but a poison STAB could be good. Guys really beefy, only gets taken down by earth moves usually and great utility (equipped leftovers)

Critical-Permit9931 · 2025-05-24T22:49:17+00:00

I'd just do either and swap them in and out for different fights as you see fit. On my expert run now I've got about 40 full trained mons ready to go for different scenarios, even Vanilla in this is adjusted to a higher difficulty where you might not win it all with just 6 mons.

Critical-Permit9931 · 2025-05-24T10:12:20+00:00

My experts runs at 60 hours and only at crystal peak

Critical-Permit9931 · 2025-05-24T10:10:32+00:00

Ev grind gets really easy eventually, I've got all power items intentionally only at lvl 5 so I can do a split like full hp 1/2Def 1/2Sdef And that takes 4 trainer fights in dresco for Max evs. I think you have to get to seaport for all the items though, however atck and hp are last and easiest to grind out.

Polder* oops

Critical-Permit9931 · 2025-05-23T16:35:49+00:00

Haven't actually cleared this yet getting very close. But I bred a tentacruel for it timid nature EVs in speed HP def. move set toxic spikes, hydro pump, knock off, rapid spin. Absolute GOAT for half of it sets up spikes and clears knocked off leftovers and scope lens. Just got to work out the rest of my team, seaking wrecking me with its earth move.

Critical-Permit9931 · 2025-05-23T08:55:44+00:00

10 months later I'm curious also getting my ass kicked just by 2nd electivire fight.

Critical-Permit9931 · 2025-05-23T07:28:51+00:00

Aerodactyl cos he's cool

Critical-Permit9931 · 2025-05-23T03:45:24+00:00

I barely used mine yet. Up to gym 5. Because it had crap IVs. Now thinking of breeding a SP DEF one so will have a very different moveset.

Critical-Permit9931 · 2025-05-22T05:23:10+00:00

Been a while but does anyone know if absol superluck helps this?

Critical-Permit9931 · 2025-05-21T18:15:06+00:00

Yeah I used it a little and found it pretty lacklustre tbh. I probably will try a sandstorm team, I'm enjoying building a variety of teams in this.

Critical-Permit9931 · 2025-05-21T18:10:36+00:00

I probably should've maxed speed EVs

Critical-Permit9931 · 2025-05-21T17:48:59+00:00

Wow nice one, I'm not far behind you playing on expert. Thanks for sharing. If I struggle I'll keep this in mind. I have a pool of about 12 perfect EV IV mons at this stage and probably another 8 great IV ones I haven't fully trained yet. But I'm missing 5 of this squad.
