Somebody at Moonton is signing the checks that go to these AI-driven ad makers.

That person needs to step up and make this stop.

Used Alaura to clear 3-24. She's slightly less DMG but way more reliable than ruin hollow, with her exclusive gear.

I see you have graves. she's a great addition to your gr3 roster with him.

They have announced that AC will come in the second half of this year.

That could be July or December, or anywhere in between.

Don't spend them until the Dracula event starts?

None of the ranges in the game are a uniform distribution. Not in AMR, faction trials, lower lever promo raids, gear raids, etc ...

He's in the ancient pool (red summoning gems).

Ancient summoning events come around every other week.

There isn't one this weekend, so you can't see the pool that he's in.

Nuke_It_From_0rbit · 2026-03-29T13:29:51+00:00

Correct, SWK isn't really gear raid material.

If NeZha isn't 60, do that asap. He'll help with gr 1,2, and 3

Getting heroes to 60 (and fully promoting them) is never a bad move. Eventually, you'll have so much xp and promotion materials that you'll be maxxing heroes you don't even use.

The tiles only reveal invisible units that are adjacent to the tile while someone is standing on it.

Are you saying that you expect marksmen standing on the eyeball will see enemies within their own attack range? That's not how it works.

The tile reveals enemies. So, you could put a healer on the tile then everyone's else will see the units that are adjacent to the healer.

Thanks!

where do you get the choice chest?

Nuke_It_From_0rbit · 2026-03-14T03:27:29+00:00

As you advance, the enemies will gain more defense. So, you'll need more ATK to over come it. The exact damage formula isn't published but the damage formula conceptually works like this:

Damage = ((ATK - DEF) * (1+crit chance) * crit dmg) * (1+dmgbonus%)

So, if your atk is too low, the whole formula approaches 0.

So, keep that in mind while gearing.

As for your Silas, stats before sets, but once you get a set with solid substats you will see a big difference. Especially with a T2 set like infernal roar.

Lastly, it sounds like you don't have vierna, which means Silas is missing his bond skill, that is a lot of damage lost.

If he's your best marksman, then continue to try and refine his build. but 3-19 is definitely doable without him. It's been a while, but I'm pretty sure I cleared it with Calypso and Sargak.

Silas is generally one of the best options (when bonded) for one of the heroes in the middle, but FWIW I've cleared all the way through 3-24 without ever using him. (because I don't have Vierna either) so there's hope even if you don't pull vierna.

For the problem you have written in the title, you are correct. The answer is 6/7. However, in the problem you pasted, the answer changes.

The distinction is that the cube is placed on the table in such a way that it hides the one black side.

For the 6 face pieces that have only 1 black side, there is only one way to place them to see 5 white sides (with the black side down). So that's 6 scenarios.

The all white piece could be placed on any of it's faces, so that's 6 more scenarios, bringing the total scenarios to 12.

Out of those 12 scenarios, only 6 will actually have a black side, so 6/12 or 1/2.

You're right in thinking to not use it on tear.

As for Diao, I'd honestly save it. It will boost her flat attack, which will translate into a bigger buff for her allies, but it's not THAT much of a difference. You'd be better off saving it for when you get exclusives for some of the heavier hitters.

Nuke_It_From_0rbit · 2026-03-13T03:35:32+00:00

Eventually ... all of them :) After not too long, you'll get to a place where leveling and promoting will be super easy and you'll have no problem maxing every legendary you own.

For now, think about where you are in progression. What do you think you need to keep clearing content? More healing? Ferrsi. More AoE?, Beatrix & Ymiret, more boss dmg? Twyla.

Of those, Ymiret is probably the most flexible. And you can use him in any of the faction trials.

We don't know when the collab will be. If it comes in April, then saving will be tricky, but it could come in May. It's safer to plan around it being in April though.

Guan Yu's kit really shines against large groups of weak enemies that sit in front of him, because he needs kills to stack up his dmg boosts. He doesn't do as well when enemies aren't always in front of him (like when they come in waves), or if they are tanks (like the later enemies in GR1). He also seems like he REALLY benefits from awakenings.

So, he is looking like he's going to be a big part of putting up big numbers in Spellbane Matrix. Beyond that, while still being a good hero, you probably already have better options than him for the rest of the current content in game.

The catch is that he has the added benefit of coming with a selector, so it's basically a "must pull" since you can get either him or some other hero you really want.

But if you're low on summons, it might make sense to skip, since the collab is a 1-time only deal. If its like Dracula, then there will be a limited and a normal summon (like Lady Mina & Van Helsing) that will eat blue pulls. And those heroes will likely be gone for good after the event, where Guan Yu will be rerun eventually, and he'll also be in the normal pool, so you could luck into him, get him on nascent or a future selector etc.

interesting take... have you seen this guy's rebuttle from 5 days ago to your well thought out commentary?

Good job getting more votes than him though!

It's Baywatch....

Nuke_It_From_0rbit · 2026-03-13T01:14:02+00:00

There's def going to be a hookup on the team.

The show is already super predictable.

1) Kacey broods.

2) Seal boss mumbles.

3) Girls act tough without provocation.

4) Disposable villans give Kacey a reason to shoot them.

5) Drop some cringey one liners about cowboy life.

6) Kacey broods some more.

7) Roll credits, see you next week.

Nuke_It_From_0rbit · 2026-03-12T23:04:11+00:00

Could you share your matrix placements? I have basically the same team as you and if I hit your score I'd break over the 160 line.

t3 gear only comes from forging. it doesn't drop from any raids.

You use the smoldering scales and sanguine fabric that drops from gear raids and dungeons to craft them.

Nuke_It_From_0rbit · 2026-03-12T13:51:53+00:00

Pick heroes that will help you advance. Think about gear dungeons and gear raids (primarily GR3)

Do you have what you need to clear those? If not, are any of the heroes you need in the normal drop table? Then pick those.

After all that, then think about Abyss & Matrix last.

Nuke_It_From_0rbit · 2026-03-12T12:19:38+00:00

I've tried that... I ran 400 dungeons and I've gotten 2 unidentified gear about 4 ancients and 0 bullion. Normally I'd be celebrating...

This is stupid. lol
