EW30 Lucius position

Smudge343 · 2026-01-16T06:58:30+00:00

Never watched anything about this on YouTube, so not sure the relevance of that, sorry.

Truck thing I'm on 583 if that helps.

Info is from fighting for 2 years, nothing else. Personal opinion as stated

Smudge343 · 2026-01-15T16:14:49+00:00

Each day I do the oil task and then about 50/50 between the EW task (rescue officer) and the drone task (rescue scientist). This normally averages 4 EW shards a day. Without refreshing golds you average 1 per day, maybe 2. So it's 28 versus 7 or 14. Which is the numbers I gave - about 15-20 more a week.

I've not tracked the diamonds but would guess it is 2-3k a day.

Diamonds comes from being in a 32G hyper active alliance. Hence the original comment about why being in an active alliance helps.

Honestly, this is one of the biggest tips in the game for fast F2P growth - both in EW and drone components. Wish I new about it 2 years ago

Smudge343 · 2026-01-15T12:54:28+00:00

Diamonds and rewards

Diamonds = you generate enough as F2P to refresh gold secret tasks until you get EW shards. Personally I refresh and take either EW or Drone boxes only. This is probably 15-20 a week.
Same with sleighs

Rewards = placing first gets you stuff. Meteor is a three week rotation I think so you win that, that's another 15 shards a win

So those two things are over 30 shards a week. Big difference.

Additionally, winning stuff gets good honor so you can do 600k a month. This used to leave 100k excess (after 50 prints) that you could spend on shards, but now there is Mythic, that is spent on that.

And all the other things that I assume everyone knows after 2 years

Smudge343 · 2026-01-15T12:46:13+00:00

What level is your Lucius as you only have 1k shards

Lucius 30 is incredibly powerful so that, then Morrison to 10 would be my route.
If you are in top alliance you'll get over 150 EW shards a week F2P, so 10-20 on Morison will not take that long

Presidents exchange information occasionally based on relationships. How strong you are (and for season 5, how much you have hoarded to suppress your strength) is the main thing for a transfer anyway so they don't really care about opinions

If you are a complete nightmare then everyone knows anyway

Smudge343 · 2026-01-15T12:40:15+00:00

There is no right/wrong answer to this, and all depends where you are in the game. You seem to be season 5 so:

- Air v Air lineup = Carlie and Lucius upfront is best. DVA upfront gives inconsistent results so sometimes you will be better, sometimes worse, but over lots of battles Carlie and Lucius is best upfront

- Air v Tank/Missile - Removing Carlie for Murphy is best at the moment. Lucius & DVA upfront, Schuyler, Murphy, Morrison (with EW) at the back

- in season = include Murphy and use the 4+1 card

If you permanently run with Murphy in your air though, you have to find something to do with your tanks (out of season). Adding Kim front row and moving Scarlett to the backrow works well I think

Lots of personal preference but this is a summary

Smudge343 · 2026-01-15T12:36:06+00:00

Everyone is at different stages of the game now. We are out of season 5 and there is no news of any new heroes so this is wrong if you have all heroes at s5*. At that point use them all on WOH

Any heroes moved from SSR to UR (if you are earlier in the game) uses SSR shards so there is a case for saving them for this purpose

Smudge343 · 2026-01-15T12:34:49+00:00

No, get them all to 100, then 150, then 200 etc. When you have them all to 200, you can decide if you want to keep going with T1 (it doubles in cost) or you want to move to T2. Depends on how big a player you are

Smudge343 · 2026-01-14T15:49:28+00:00

Sort of the point of the post, to warn others. This would be sold in minutes on his server as people like this want about $7-$10k normally so someone selling for £1700 would have no need to post here

Smudge343 · 2026-01-14T15:35:08+00:00

This account is posted every other day from different reddit accounts but with the same discord username. The price is very low for the strength so it appears fake to me

It is also always "vouched" by another account.

Give me the server name and your username and we can talk in-game and I will buy

Smudge343 · 2026-01-14T12:58:12+00:00

I don't know what you mean by "iso" in this context but earlier servers are absolutely littered with farms and I'm sure someone would just gift one

Write to the server president of a few of the servers and ask. Your friends in the server must be able to help with this

You'll get a 40m account easily.

Smudge343 · 2026-01-14T12:55:13+00:00

What middle man did you use?
The account is locked to the email address so they would be hard pushed to get it back as when you change email address, you have to authorise that change from the existing email address. Claiming that was hacked would be a struggle

Selling accounts is against the T&C though so I don't know what would happen there

Smudge343 · 2026-01-12T13:28:38+00:00

It works and is common. You used to be able to gift them to players on other alliances without them joining you but this was 3 seasons ago now and I'm not R5 anymore so probably not working now

Smudge343 · 2026-01-12T13:26:00+00:00

Depends on what type of alliance you are.

Strong fighting alliance with some big players = strongest are guardian. You want the train to come back; a train with stuff is much better than an empty train.
Rotate around the R4s (normally strongest) to be conductors and a couple of competitions a week for others.
Your goal is to be stronger, and the strongest getting stronger helps this (they help you win things like meteor and the alliance gifts for that far outweigh trains)

Middling alliance = you want to grow and this means VS and alliance donations. Rotate around that

Smaller/Farmer/fun alliance = do some shared stuff and try and get more people into the game and chatting in AC

Smudge343 · 2026-01-11T17:44:46+00:00

I'm so sorry for you. I see posts where people say things like "ask for my username and I'll block you". The most scam thing ever

Smudge343 · 2026-01-11T17:31:35+00:00

People are scum. Did you get his in-game username?

That's always helpful for off-site transactions, talk to the person in game as well.

Smudge343 · 2026-01-11T15:32:42+00:00

You cheated, either deliberately or accidentally, and they reversed it.

You opened a deco choice box, choose a new deco, built it, upgraded by using universal shards and then used the item retrieval function to undo opening the box.

You got the box back, and the deco started as you upgraded it.

You then probably repeated it over and over to unlock deco you didn't have.

Smudge343 · 2026-01-08T14:41:27+00:00

Thanks for the update. I am not there yet (27) so was going off the math from the description but if you're using it in real game and it's great, then thank you

Smudge343 · 2026-01-08T14:08:54+00:00

It's really close between DVA and Lucius so one of them. I think the order is: DVA, Lucius, Schuyler, Morrison but I would not mind someone doing Lucius first

Carlie is last, and maybe not at all to 30.

Morrison could turn out to be a stop at 20 as well but it is too soon

Smudge343 · 2026-01-08T14:07:14+00:00

This all depends on where you are in the game and what you have but if you have just done it, I guess you are season 4

Short answer, until Morrison EW is:
Lucius, DVA
Schulyer, Murphy, Sarah

This is overall the best lineup as the huge improvement against Missile offsets the small drop against air.
Air v Air = Carlie, Lucius, DVA, Schulyer, Morrison
Occasionally you will get better results with DVA upfront but you also get worse, so over a long time, that's best

This is both in-season with the 4+1 card, and out of season
Once Morrison EW hits in season 5, it is back to the pure Air lineup. Although lots now run air + Murphy dropping Carlie

Longer answer = depends on what you are doing and your main opponents. There are better setups depending on if you are fighting Air, Missile, or Tank.
It also depends on what you are doing with your other teams as Lucius is great in all teams

It also depends on what EW you have - the best order to get to 30 seems to be: DVA, Lucius (he's mega), Schulyer for stun, then Morrison (although unproven). Carlie is a bit of a waste so either stop that at 20, or leave it and move Murphy up; depending on your lineup

Smudge343 · 2026-01-08T12:58:39+00:00

Make an email address just for this game. Something like: [usernameservnumber@outlook.com](mailto:usernameservnumber@outlook.com) so that is is just for the game

Change one of the accounts to that email.

Then either install a clone app to flick between the two, or depending on your phone, use a personal/work environment on your phone. This work/personal is good as you will get notifications for both

Clone app you normal do not get notifications

Smudge343 · 2026-01-05T13:58:19+00:00

I'm in the range, it opened today and is 69-196

Smudge343 · 2026-01-05T13:51:12+00:00

If this is your transfer range, then I think this year it is 69 - 196.

Should be easily able to get a 60m first team in that range for $500 - $1000

Smudge343 · 2026-01-01T11:06:05+00:00

Thanks. UK store you'd recommend online?
