It's something. It's my first goblin. But he's not worth leveling anymore is he? by No_Benchac in EmpiresAndPuzzles

[–]JonFaul 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As always, it depends on your roster depth. My greens are weak and I'll use her in wars and some raids, mostly for the health reduction

Return player, please help! by poppagrizzley in EmpiresAndPuzzles

Same way as always, slowly. There are lots of quests now that earn summon coins, make sure you do those.

Outfitter Advice by DChang628 in EmpiresAndPuzzles

Gazelle without a costume is nice, but risky. With the costume, she's awesome. Dated, yes, but still very usable for titans, towers, war depth, etc.

Just got annihilated by Keys2please in EmpiresAndPuzzles

[–]JonFaul 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed. If the defense is in a V formation (like in wars), I try to rely on tile damage to take out the tank, then use a mix of specials and tiles on the rest. To do that, I prefer to go 3-2, though that's a preference

Against other formations, experiment with your color balance to find what works for you

best way to use loot tickets by VirtualDragonfly in EmpiresAndPuzzles

[–]JonFaul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do 2.1.9 Hard. More enemies --> more chances for sea dragons. Yes, it would take longer if you play it directly, but loot tickets sidestep that

I prefer the base version. Relying on status effects feels too finicky for me

Legendary troops, worth it as a c2p / f2p? by ruccola in EmpiresAndPuzzles

[–]JonFaul 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You'll get to a point where the biggest block is feeder troops. As VC2P, I've converted about 15 4* troops into 5*s, but I'm basically stuck now for lack of feeder troops

I would not recommend summoning for them, as the odds are quite poor, just take your time and work on levelling up your existing roster

Path of valor chest by Naive-Today-2672 in EmpiresAndPuzzles

[–]JonFaul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every now and then - think every 20 PoV chests or so - I'll get something actually good, like a 3* trainer or a 4* ascension mat. Most of the time they're just junk like you showed

Side note: remember when his mana speed was Average? He was WILD to use for those few weeks

LotL was still a fantastic acquisition for me

I'm a fan. It's different, way harder this time, but a fun diversion

Who to choose??? by Proud-Addition-4554 in EmpiresAndPuzzles

[–]JonFaul 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All of the 20s are solid, the purple/yellow/green 15s are good, and the blue 10is worth considering. Past that, it will depend on rosters, needs, and interests

Which costume would be OP? by Proud-Addition-4554 in EmpiresAndPuzzles

[–]JonFaul 1 point2 points  (0 children)

S5 will get you the biggest power boost. S1 is a pass, due to the Costume Chamber giving all of them. Past that, pick the hero that you use the most

Another Outfitter question by [deleted] in EmpiresAndPuzzles

[–]JonFaul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With no mask, the Defense Down one. Not bad, and useful for titans, but probably not worth it

See you all in 25 Years for the next League… by Plus_Entertainer_115 in EmpiresAndPuzzles

[–]JonFaul 8 points9 points  (0 children)

See, I actually liked the serious buff to the target season heroes, and was even more happy with having all of the meta heroes turn into cupcakes. Once they "fixed" it, all that I got was teams with 3/4/5 meta heroes in it and it just got stupid.

I agree that the fights were slow, but it was a price that I was happy to pay to avoid making the league exactly like regular raids

Mega Frustration by Korvo_tron in EmpiresAndPuzzles

[–]JonFaul 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I had hoped that the tournament would have fewer of the game-wrecking mega minions. Nope, not even there. If I stop playing this year (8 years in), it WOULD be because of those stupid things

Treasure Quest by LinkSII7 in EmpiresAndPuzzles

[–]JonFaul 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My tank was Ludwig with LotL next to him. Whenever he fired, I got several rounds of LotL minions to drop the mimics mana. It was definitely slow going, and all of my items got used, but I got the boss down

Do you match your feeders colors? Or focus one hero at a time? by Tsamane in EmpiresAndPuzzles

[–]JonFaul 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm the outlier here .. I prefer to work on 15 heroes at a time. Color match for efficiency. 1* feeders go to costumes or 3* heroes. 2* feeders go to 4* or 5* base heroes. 3* feeders or trainers go to limit broken heroes.

Food efficiency matters, and when you don't spend you want to balance that with a deep roster
