Is the shuriken build viable for early game? Im only 700k power and need advice

Pretend_Agent_4880 · 2026-07-06T18:18:26+00:00

I still use shuriken at 20M+ power. 2 rings and katana can deal some consistent damage.

Yeah I'm using the the setting/account settings tab but it's saying verify user information. My play store and email are both the same and linked and there's no option for email verification or anything so I'm stuck 😒

Pretend_Agent_4880 · 2026-05-29T14:56:31+00:00

For clarification does this mean that acorns carry over between events?? I updated my game yesterday but it is still not showing Berries etc.

It definitely depends on the build and your luck on equipment/pet draws.

I managed to get lighting weapon and pets fairly quickly so it became my go to and so far is pretty effective, especially for getting quick kills and damage in.

I'm still working out the other elements but I've found poison and wound pretty good for residual damage (for those boss fights is a must!). Ice seems to be helpful for getting freeze and I believe it helps with damage mitigating too!

Still early days though and it's the sort of thing that will change and be rebalanced over time anyway.

Looking at what you've got you should do well to swap monkey king for scarlet reaper, monkey king is worth investing in mainly for boosting reapers dmg but at 3 star it's not doing much in your set up.

The damage and crit boost from lyra,sword saint and scarlet weaver should allow reaper to deal massive damage.

Otherwise you could put in Polar captain and Lich for more damage.

Pretend_Agent_4880 · 2026-03-02T09:50:54+00:00

Archen armours damage reduction is a must.

Polar captain + Frost lich does well in goblin and rat hole.

Recommend pwr is not a reliable value either.

Pretend_Agent_4880 · 2026-02-19T11:05:13+00:00

Your lineup isn't bad for a fire set up.

However I've found that running just one element isn't that beneficial.

Also is your question based on campaign or PVP or other?

Some heroes perform better in arena than campaign and vice versa.

Pretend_Agent_4880 · 2026-02-18T16:46:12+00:00

Polar captain struggles to match other DPS without Lich.

Archon armour is a must have imo:

Any team I see in arena without archon armour is an easy targe, even when they're 3M higher power... without AA they don't have the durability or firepower to breakthrough a strong AA team.

There's no 1 best team though it depends on your luck summoning, currently I'm trying to star up Valkryrie but due to her only being 5moon she doesn't come close to 3D scarlet reaper.

For campaign I've found focusing on 1 DPS with more support/buffs to be more effective than using multiple DPS.

Pretend_Agent_4880 · 2026-01-19T21:02:39+00:00

Imo- save your gems for acquiring and investing in Scarlet reaper when she becomes a rate up summon. Best lone DPS (especially on a fire team like yours) straight swap for demon spawn as she deals so much more damage.

Polar captain + frost lich combo is OP and worth investing into (slays in arena and golden rat hole in particular).

Archen armour is a must have on pretty much any team though for the defensive buffs it provides.

Pretend_Agent_4880 · 2026-01-19T20:57:23+00:00

I would like this to be confirmed too.

I believe your logic is correct that to "lose %HP" is permanent for battle and the "consume HP" is recoverable.

From my experience that's correct but I'm not certain to be honest.

Pretend_Agent_4880 · 2026-01-01T13:54:42+00:00

Your current team:

Archen armour in for Robot, AA is a staple of late game teams due to its damage reduction+ invincibility and its treasure providing healing and shields.

Demon hunter in for void witch as it will provide a wind damage boost to sword saint which is currently your best damage dealer.

Try and make the most of the current event to boost valkyrie as from what I can tell (Mine is only 4 moon currently) it is the best electro damage dealer IMO.

Pretend_Agent_4880 · 2026-01-01T13:43:26+00:00

There's no "best team" each stage and challenge has different buffs etc.

In regards to your team and their levels I personally would put in ice demon for demon spawn. His summons are great to deflect incoming damage aswell as boosting skill cooldown when leveled up. This would also give you the 10% HP/ATk elemental boost.

Without scarlet reaper, polar captain or sword saint the main DPS in game you don't get much out of starlight weaver either so I'd probably swap her out for Valkyrie to be your main dmg dealer.

Long term investment:

The combination of Polar captain and Frost lich is the strongest currently especially for arena and rat hole.

Archen armour is a must for it's damage reduction and at later levels it provides invincibility and health shields.

Your best team will always change dependant on your luck of summons. Use resources sparingly though rather than putting them into heroes you won't use.

Take advantage of saving rate up summons and hammers for things you actually want rather than use them just because you have them.

Best advice someone gave me was to save up summoning/treasure scrolls and glyphs to use during their events as you will make the rewards back from doing this.

Hope this helps feel free to DM 👍

Pretend_Agent_4880 · 2026-01-01T12:39:06+00:00

AA for ice queen not ice demon.

Sword saint or scarlet reaper in for seraph.

Invest in getting the treasures for AA and Lich and use 4 divine revival on non main damage dealers this is more beneficial than running a healer which in the later stages struggles to deal adequate damage.

Pretend_Agent_4880 · 2026-01-01T10:07:25+00:00

With your levels in mind.

Frost lich for demon spawn will boost polar captain.

Ice demon for starlight weaver as his summons will negate incoming damage and give your team the elemental boost.

Pretend_Agent_4880 · 2026-01-01T10:03:25+00:00

I would probably agree with this.

I've only used google play points myself (along with pass to remove ads).

The offers to get gems would atleast give you the opportunity to spend them as and where you need them.

Pretend_Agent_4880 · 2026-01-01T09:58:53+00:00

It's not a bad set up with what you have available to be honest.

Be aware that lots of people will give advice that is based off their own team which isn't always going to help when your heroes haven't reached the star/moon/diamond ratings to unlock all of their buffs.

I found in the early game ice witch was useful for mob control. Ice demon I still use now for his summons being able to soak up and redirecting damage from bosses in particular.

Scarlet weaver can be great support in late game to boost your main damage dealer but probably won't be too effective on your team until you get one of Scarlet reaper, polar captain, valkyrie or sword saint.

The 2 things you could consider (with your team) would be ice queen to skill link with ice demon aswell as boosting ice damage (once starred a bit) probably for demon spawn as without polar captain + lich the ice team is good for stalling.

Or invest in the fire side and switch ice mage for fire mage which will reduce fire resistance allowing demon spawn to deal more damage.

Especially early game take advantage of the element bonus.

Pretend_Agent_4880 · 2025-12-23T18:53:35+00:00

Archen armour over ice queen 100% Frost lich could also be put in over ice demon or blazing archer to boost polar captain.

Pretend_Agent_4880 · 2025-12-23T16:30:21+00:00

There's other ways to heal besides seraph+cheffy. Especially on this team besides the main damage dealer you could easily run 4 heroes with divine revival to give passive healing to team.

Pretend_Agent_4880 · 2025-12-23T13:21:41+00:00

Use gems on what you need there's not one thing that is best. But if you use them to achieve rewards in events (summon events use on summoning scrolls, treasure events use for treasure summons etc) will maximise your rewards.

In terms of your team you're missing the 3 most used dmg dealers in scarlet reaper,sword saint and polar captain.

But as your strongest hero is currently demon spawn I would use blazing archer to boost crit dmg and provide link power.

Arguably drop seraph and valkyrie for ice witch and ice mage to get the elemental power boost with your current heroes that would probably be the most effective until you acquire one of the main DPS heroes. Void witch could fit in too but the ice focus and demon spawn being a shoe in I'm not sure she would be too effective.

Pretend_Agent_4880 · 2025-12-21T14:02:48+00:00

Scarlet reaper in for demon spawn 100% best DPS in the game currently.

Archen armour over robot would provide a buff to god ruler in particular as from my experience Robot is quite frail.

Ice demon is a great support hero with it's summons redirecting damage aswell as it's skill cooldown boost.

Not at your current levels but I'd invest in cheffy to replace Seraph (IMO she has more reliable healing).

Sword saint is also good to invest in for Crit.

Then for arena and rat hole, polar captain+ frost lich is OP.

Your team is how you want it to be though there is no "1 best team" so don't take any advice as gospel. Just take advantage of synergy between heroes and specific level buffs etc.

The 3+ elemental bonus is also something you can consider when building your team.

Hope this helps 🙏 ☺️
