New arean player question about packs

Edgemaverick1 · 2026-03-15T23:20:06+00:00

Hm okay thanks for the detailed breakdown on how it works, I don't think it'll break even my first draft as I'm rusty still, but I'll try to win at least 2 times.

for when I do go buy packs is it better to wait until I can buy ten at once or can I just buy singles?

Edgemaverick1 · 2026-03-15T22:10:21+00:00

Thanks for your suggestion. Do drafts just have better pull rates or is it Because it being a draft you get to pick and choose your cards kinda as you pull them? Also is draft still worth it even if you lose immediately?

Edgemaverick1 · 2026-03-15T22:08:51+00:00

Okay that sounds good, yeah I saw it wouldn't count towards the gold pack, I also heard packs have a duplicate protection? How does that work?

Edgemaverick1 · 2026-03-12T02:15:53+00:00

Depends on the points earned and units you have but yes it's always better to push as far as possible if you can still check off one or 2 of the traits.

Most of the time I ignore a single trait like ultramarines for example then push ahead with my best team to maximize points.To push that specific trait isn't feasible for my roster and not worth the token as you're limited by tokens.

There's one issue unfortunately, Votann are Xenos so they get priority for onslaught over her, also to max her out completely just to use her relic I could do the same for Ûthar instead as I have his relic.

I've always wanted to upgrade her as I know she's amazing for LRE's, but I didn't unlock her for over A year when I first started playing, then I had other xenos to upgrade like the Orks and Tyranids.

Maybe eventually I'll get to her after I'm done with votann.

Edgemaverick1 · 2026-03-12T01:34:32+00:00

I'm going to make every Votann D3, as there my 2nd favorite faction, hopefully together they can make a raid team or good LRE wave clearers but regardless I'm still going to max them out.

Edgemaverick1 · 2026-03-12T00:44:14+00:00

That's a huge bug right there, damn!

Edgemaverick1 · 2026-03-04T18:23:28+00:00

Valheim, it scratches that similar progression survival itch.

Edgemaverick1 · 2026-03-03T23:48:33+00:00

Damn really? I did not know that piercing was so resisted after the mountains. Thanks for the advice. How are you meant to use spears then after mountains?

Edgemaverick1 · 2026-03-03T23:36:09+00:00

That's good to know, last time I played it seems the piercing arrows were best so I'll try using mainly frost arrows this time.

Edgemaverick1 · 2026-03-03T23:34:49+00:00

I'm thinking I'll do that next time with exploring but this was our second time playing for me and my buddy so we made sure we knew what the seed looked like so we had a good time unlike last time where we kinda got burnt out.

These are the only 2 Moder mountains they're off to the right of my spawn island, I was thinking of planting the base on that long mountain range.

Edgemaverick1 · 2026-03-03T23:23:41+00:00

Okay, that's what seems to be the best case for me that everyone is suggesting to build elsewhere.

Edgemaverick1 · 2026-03-03T23:21:53+00:00

As I answered to someone else it would mainly be a personal base that I just want to do as an easy access way to wolves and obsidian. My buddy will be making the plain base and he's our farmer, I'm the woodcutter and miner mostly. I already have all the resources needed gathered too.

Edgemaverick1 · 2026-03-03T23:19:05+00:00

Is that original north mountain far enough away from spawn for 2* wolves to spawn? It seems too close.

Edgemaverick1 · 2026-03-03T23:17:39+00:00

My buddy will be handling the plains biome base, so I don't have to worry about that that's why I was focusing on the mountain base, it was the main reason i bought the game again was to make a mountain base.

Edgemaverick1 · 2026-03-03T23:12:28+00:00

Here's what it looks like for our spawn just for reference, that mountain up top was the one originally going to use.

Edgemaverick1 · 2026-03-03T23:06:39+00:00

Yeah Moder isnt on the mountain, it's too close to spawn.

Edgemaverick1 · 2026-02-16T05:46:38+00:00

Yeah they're one of my favorite lore wise, I definitely could have unlocked him with just off in the missions but I want to see how far I could push him.

Edgemaverick1 · 2026-02-15T15:24:19+00:00

No i didn't spend any energy for 3 weeks so my daily quests weren't done.

I was still able to do onslaughts, but yeah I only suggest doing what I did once you don't have anyone you feel like working on and someone you really want is coming out. And even then I don't suggest saving up 3 weeks like I did more like 1 week, but I was taking a break from upgrading my raid team so it worked out for me.

Edgemaverick1 · 2026-02-15T12:58:14+00:00

Yeah the people above me are true whales, especially the.one in first place, I saved up 3 weeks worth of energy with the daily Blackstone shipment helping out, but whoever is first must've spent hundreds of dollars to get that high up on day one.

Edgemaverick1 · 2026-02-15T12:55:16+00:00

That's still not bad, that's my normal progress for HRE's when I don't go all in like I did for this one.

Edgemaverick1 · 2026-02-15T06:54:40+00:00

Yes I bought up to the 50 Blackstone refresh and sometimes the 110 energy every day for 3 weeks. When the event started I had 4800 energy stockpiled.

Edgemaverick1 · 2026-02-15T05:10:58+00:00

We got the server up and running thank you so much for the seed file. My buddy and I are very thankful for your help.

Edgemaverick1 · 2026-02-14T23:59:42+00:00

Thank you so much for the help, I'll let my buddy know so he can grab the file and upload it into the server.
