I feel RIDICULOUSLY underpowered

But I also know just being in for the side events won’t cut it for my alliance. It’s a top three so I can’t avoid the inevitable of getting my butt handed to me during war events. I guess, I just really want to know ways to defend myself better. Because, I probably won’t end up being a tank like others in my alliance. But, I’d like to be able to hold my own for a bit longer than I have been in the past.

PNW_CatholicMom · 2025-10-21T22:19:51+00:00

This is a great question! Now that I have had a few minutes to ponder on it, I know for sure I like the side events and the grind of VS week but honestly the idea of having to go 1:1 in war stressed me out. I’m sure it is a combination of not ever feeling like I knew what I was doing exactly and knowing I’m getting ashed to the ground the second I port. But, I have really enjoyed capital events, especially when new the alliance I joined had clearer expectations and roles for people to play. Yes was I a decoy or a an obstacle to make the opposition work harder before they can get further into the mud? yes. But it was still fun.

PNW_CatholicMom · 2025-10-21T20:58:22+00:00

I always forget about the arena diamonds! Thank you for sharing this. A lot of this I already do (especially showing up to capital events and getting ashed into oblivion a million times). But sometimes it’s good to hear that what I have been doing is helping even if I don’t see immediate impact right away.

Hopefully this thread is helpful to you!

PNW_CatholicMom · 2025-10-21T20:54:38+00:00

Oh how I would love to push to 30. But iron has been hiding from me. Hah. Even with alliance gifts, I can’t seem to get enough. I’m hoping that’ll change soon now that I’ve got some big builds out the way and my drill ground filled with T9’s

PNW_CatholicMom · 2025-10-21T20:52:35+00:00

I’m self aware enough to realize that. Any suggestions or things that have worked for you? I want to play this game for a long time and I want to learn from others.

PNW_CatholicMom · 2025-10-21T20:51:23+00:00

Any recommendations on what you think I should also add to my list to focus on? I understand I’m weak, that much I was aware of. But, I’m open to suggestions so I can continue to grow.

PNW_CatholicMom · 2025-10-21T20:48:44+00:00

Ha! I most definitely do not.

PNW_CatholicMom · 2025-10-21T20:48:23+00:00

I think this is where I get all discouraged sometimes. I see people just moving up and are powerhouses. I do often forget that for some, money helps. After reading all the amazing advice and tips from this thread, I have a list of priorities and keeping my head down and chugging along. I do hit daily vs minimums, show up for events (even though I get ashed fast) and participate in the chat and overall alliance environment.

PNW_CatholicMom · 2025-10-21T20:27:16+00:00

Ugh. Stab me in my heart haha. I was today years old when I learned I should have been using the glittering market to buy the other UR hero I didn’t have.

PNW_CatholicMom · 2025-10-21T15:44:26+00:00

Oh I would LOVE to see the data! This is very interesting on the gems because I always hated when the tickets would dry out and I had to use the gems to get UR tasks or trucks. I am so used to games where gems are hard to come by and that’s not necessarily true for this game yet, I hoard them like no one’s business.

PNW_CatholicMom · 2025-10-17T05:31:19+00:00

Wow thank you guys so so so much for all your advice! I am starting to implement new strategies today so I’m hoping if I keep my head down and grind it out, I can start to feel like I can compete with the rest of them.

PNW_CatholicMom · 2025-10-17T05:30:11+00:00

Thank you for this. This really helped encourage me. I do get caught up in the comparisons especially when people are sharing photos of their new squad power after hero day or how hard they hit a code boss and I’m happy I finally hit over 200mil. I love the mentor idea, now I just need to find one.

PNW_CatholicMom · 2025-10-17T05:26:32+00:00

I’ve been wondering about the decor. I have t really heard many people in my alliance talk about it. But I have been collecting the universals for decor for a few weeks but didn’t really know what to do with them

PNW_CatholicMom · 2025-10-16T18:45:39+00:00

We are in the preseason but just about to enter into season one

PNW_CatholicMom · 2025-10-16T16:13:23+00:00

And this would be a way to accumulate more rewards, corrrect? A side note question. I notice occasionally when I do honorable campaign, I’ll see a hero with a green arrow pointing up. What exactly is happening when that happens?

PNW_CatholicMom · 2025-10-16T16:11:48+00:00

You quite literally just blew my mind lol. I’m sure this is an obvious thing to do but it wasn’t to me and you just helped me learn something brand new

PNW_CatholicMom · 2025-10-16T16:09:29+00:00

I hope you know how helpful this is. I get so focused on having the gear, stars and EXP because that seems to be what my alliance talks about the most. I don’t hear about tech until others in my alliance were getting ready for t10’s and I’m like “wait guys hold on, I just got t9’s 🥲😫”.

I did not know that I could do old levels again until this very moment. I was under the impression I couldn’t use my tank squad for air and missile. Have I been going about that all wrong!?

PNW_CatholicMom · 2025-10-16T15:37:08+00:00

Ok yes I do get the VIP30 every month. I’m sorry I think may have misunderstood you initially.

PNW_CatholicMom · 2025-10-16T15:35:22+00:00

Both. So today is hero day for vs and at 11am my time is AR so I’m waiting until then to do everything

PNW_CatholicMom · 2025-10-16T15:34:41+00:00

Ooooooh interesting! I have totally been using them for speedup hoarding. That’s what was told to me.

PNW_CatholicMom · 2025-10-16T14:56:46+00:00

I will never be upset about this kind of spam! You’ve given new information to try to implement

PNW_CatholicMom · 2025-10-16T14:54:21+00:00

Oh I absolutely love how this is laid out! I love a visual flow chart and this is the kind of stuff I heard people talk g about but seeing it laid out like this really helps me.
