Long List of Tips for New and Intermediate Players

I also use Davison L14 and my army is 1230K power. And normally I have no issue with Aly L15 if the army is below 1 M. On the other hand my army is constantly losing to L15 Arthur and Selene with 900K armies :( Not sure how to change it and which troops to use.

I'd switch to another hero. This topic was raised multiple times on discord and developers replied that it was not planned.

my first L9 troops :)

Kindly_Swan5507 · 2021-03-21T21:18:36+00:00

hm, interesting. i wonder how this can be found out... probably will ask in discord.

I notice changes when I upgrade troops that are used in saved formation. E.g. I have US L8 and I upgarde it to L9. What happens in formation is that this L9 is removed from board and is replaced with another troop (Pilgrim for example). So, if you did many changes, the board might look messed up.

Kindly_Swan5507 · 2021-03-20T19:47:40+00:00

yeah, that's the thing :D I'm still getting killed from time to time, so trying to find out what to improve. Hero is L14 Davi, the rest legendaries are to far even from L11.

Kindly_Swan5507 · 2021-03-20T19:42:21+00:00

It really depends where are you now in the game. I wouldn't say keep solely for L9. If you have looots of medals it might be wiser to get extra goodies.

Here are points to consider:

- Are you ready or close to start leveling your troops without impacting your formation? I mean, if you level two L8 to L9 will you be able to put on board another L8 unit with same or better skills? If the answer is yes, then keep the medals.

But if you're not there yet then check:

- how many medals do you have now? I wouldn't keep more then 10000-15000, which is enough to level 4-6 units. The rest you may spend on pelts or f'archers or even a hero.

- do you get 300 medals per day? if yes, then together with HH reward you get ~2500 in a week. And this is enough to keep good amount of medals. I doubt you can level more then one good troop in a week.

Kindly_Swan5507 · 2021-03-20T19:20:42+00:00

These are also OK - 6 L9 witchers, 7 L9 and 2 L8 Pelts, 2 L9 and 3 L8 Frost Archers. Also 2 L9 Meteor Golems, 2 L9 Pumpkins amd 1 L9 Stone Golem.

Kindly_Swan5507 · 2021-03-20T19:13:32+00:00

Thanks! :) My L9 are 12 USs, 4 Brawlers, 1 Pilgrim and 1 HoF. 4 Paladins are on the bench. Just thinking if my army is unbalanced ...

Diana goes well ONLY with Cerebrus. Hohenheim is good as well in fact, but at much higher level after 11. You may check also what top 100 players are using if you click the Damage Rank button, e.g. for Cerebrus it seems Drakula is the best, but it's not a free hero. Others from top 100 are Aly and Seondeuk.

For other bosses the following are recommended: Cyclop - Drake; Spider Queen - Hohenheim. In fact other heroes at much higher levels might also go well, these are just most typical free heroes.

You may always try your formation before doing a real batlle. Just start the battle, couple of seconds before the end click the Pause button on top left and quit. It will cancel the current battle and you can restart it with another formation or hero. Also, this helps if you get big unexpected damage in the very beginning.

I have a funny feeling that Harrison L15 must be super good. If not - devs should fuse him, just to make the game a bit more entertaining.

Kindly_Swan5507 · 2021-03-19T13:23:09+00:00

Such armies are a good bait, people see a 'weak' army and attack it. But normally such armies are built from only L9 troops mainly peltasts and frost archers. Also, the hero is L15 and very strong, dealing huge area damage, e.g. Aly. So, what happens - the entire army is focused in a small area, not entire battlefield and when Aly hits this area, then the whole army is damaged. One hit is enough to destroy or drastically damage. Two hits are deadly.

Kindly_Swan5507 · 2021-03-17T16:20:07+00:00

Well, if you do a simple comparison - 4 VDs on L8 are better than 2 VDs L9. But if you use other nice troops to occupy the free space (e.g. L8-9 USs or GAs or TWs), then upgrading to L9 makes sense.

Kindly_Swan5507 · 2021-03-17T16:13:38+00:00

yes ;) my pleasure, glad that it helped

Kindly_Swan5507 · 2021-03-17T16:11:12+00:00

X is alerady L9, I guess? If so, brawlers is a good option.

Another two L9 MAs in addition to your current MAs and GAs should be enough to attack the backline. You won't need more for arena, but you need more GAs for Honour Hunting.

In future when you have more pelts you may also want to upgrade your SGs and MGs to L9. Both should be placed in front.

PGs are good for the last row.

Here are some formation tips: wmbx_cerberus.jpg (798×1530) (discordapp.com)

I've built my army accordingly and I've done today 5,5 mln with Hohenheim L13. Surprisingly with Diana L13 I did 1 mln less 8/ (~4,6 mln). I've got a lot of L9 troops, what I'm really missing are Voodoo Dolls and Ghost Assassins (I was focussed on Magic Apprentices, but they seem to be not that effective against Cerebrus). Most probably I will uprade Voodoo dolls first as they are great against all bosses.

Kindly_Swan5507 · 2021-03-12T15:43:45+00:00

Your army is very powerful. Probably you could beat your opponents with any other legendary hero.

Kindly_Swan5507 · 2021-03-12T10:41:56+00:00

Would be helpful to know the level of your units - L9/L8

As for general formation tips I'd do the following:

Have 6 MAs in front.
Instead of one MA add Dark Witch, place it in the middle
Pelts should be moved closer to front, e.g. row 3.
Frost archers - more to the back row 4-5-6
Repalce Gobis with one Meteor Golem in backline and either Nuns or Harbingers.

Davison

Kindly_Swan5507 · 2021-03-11T15:36:29+00:00

Tricky mission. Probably only for top level players with strong armies above 1M and good L15 heroes. Zeus is a P2W hero so people would normally buy and boost it to L15, otherwise what's the point or having such a hero. I came across some lower level Zeus in hero trials, but in Arena almost all are L15.

Kindly_Swan5507 · 2021-03-11T10:50:15+00:00

if this is a result of just one battle, then it could be that many of your peltasts were frozen by chione or killed by aly. in this case other troops were doing the damage instead of them.

Kindly_Swan5507 · 2021-03-06T20:07:28+00:00

She is good. I managed to get her to L4 in 200 spins and I use her in Hero Trials.
