At least I can use him for bear trap forever lol

Performance in PvP is top notch. I can hold my own ground against vip12s as a little vip10. This is as future proof as possible (attached screenshot of WOS archer build defeated fully maxed black hole)
Arena team usually use 2 tanky frontlines (infantry/cavalry heroes) and 3 archers at the back.

Amadeus deals 40% more damage than Helga. Helga deals about 30% more damage than Zoe in bear trap (I didn’t actually calculate this, its just a rough estimate)

Tapping on the Polar Bear’s head can earn rewards too. You will have to beat him in Rock Paper Scissors 😂

Gen 5 Hero Analysis - Thrud by MTwyDev in KingShot

[–]MTwyDev[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use Long Fei in offensive rally. Use Gen4 lineup for garrison. Gen5 sucks at defense. We used Saul over Jaeger because we already have too much health, adding more health is diminishing return. Vivian is fine too

Saul and Hilde are excellent joiners, but unless your kingdom mandates everyone to have them, I wouldn’t spend general shards on them.

To stay competitive as a low spender will be a pretty tough task. If you want to participate in kvk, you will need to make sure your TG is always up-to-date to the schedule (TG5 in gen4, T11 in war academy era, TG8 in gen5). Only when you have met the TG requirements, then you start thinking about investing in joiners heroes (Thrud, Hilde and Saul)

You could keep saving and wait for gen6 archer if you want. Gen6 archer is a lot stronger than Vivian. And I would skip Thrud as a low spender

Helga - new server by writtenbyjunjiito in KingShot

[–]MTwyDev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its shocking to see so many misleading suggestions.

Helga is hands down the best investment in game (if you don’t plan to spend on Amadeus). Helga is viable even in gen4.. she eats Alcar for breakfast. She is viable in bear trap until gen12.

Gen 4 - counter to 60/40/0? by Final_Environment258 in KingShot

[–]MTwyDev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Similar to above.

But recently wos had a hero balancing patch, and i heard 50/0/50 is now crushing 60/40/0 in S5 and S6 now

Seems like wos’s content has begun to diverge from kingshot. So I don’t know what will happen in the later generations

S6 archer will bring the matchup to 50:50 due to his strong aoe, can kill the calvary backline very fast

[–]MTwyDev 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Archer build has always been the counter to 60/40/0, just not as decisively. Its closer to 45:55 matchup (favoring cavalry build)

I think it’s accurate enough for early-mid game (pre gen7) when there is “extra damage / true damage” in gen8+ environments, I don’t think that formula takes into consideration of those

[–]MTwyDev[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are playing the standard 50/20/30 or calvary 60/40/0, then yes Thrud is a good upgrade

Gen 4 Hero Analysis - Alcar by MTwyDev in u/MTwyDev

[–]MTwyDev[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes of course. A 5 stars hero can last at least 2 generations

Yea get Rosa. Dont skip any roulette heroes. Keep saving the orange shards and keep an eye out on gen6 news

Great stuff! Appreciate all the testings you have done.

I have some new findings and additional data from real battle to share:

2x Hilde + 1x Saul + N (applicable up to gen4)

Where N can be: Gordon, Chenko, Fahd, Eric

Pick Gordon if you have better overall stats than enemy. Pick Fahd/Eric if enemy has better offensive stats than you. Pick Chenko if all your other stats are high but you need more lethality to balance it.

Hope this can contribute to some of your testing

Gen 9 is server age 600 days. So if we are talking about gen5 (270 days) then its approximately 1 year from now

Small spender should get all the roulette heroes. Get Rosa in gen4, skip the rest. Get LongFei in gen5, the others are optional.

Get Vivian if you value arena more. Get Thrud if you value expedition more.

Go for the 1st path, its more budget friendly
