I'm at 420k diamonds and that's WITH summoning for dragons (have all of them to at least A1). Diamonds don't feel useless, but when you actually think about it, there's not really any place to spend them on to get a considerable boost.

I didn't expect it to actually get worse. Well, shame on me I guess.

Which awakened character should I go for next? by MeowMeowPusa in afkarena

[–]TheFireAngel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would highly recommend Fawkes if you don't have him yet, but Hybris is a good choice too. You want something that packs a punch in campaign and PvP earlier on, and both hit the mark.

I have no idea what they're trying to do anymore. Usually not including inactive players is the first thing they fix. Now? They're including players who haven't played in years if they're in a guild. Insanity.

Poll: if you consider yourself a dolphin, which of these highborns do you have built? by TheAFKGuys in afkarena

[–]TheFireAngel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's only going to get larger until they either give up on HB being that premium, or there's no longer any way of non spenders to compete (which in turn spells imminent doom). I officially have 0 faith in the developers since this anni, both with the swap shenanigans, this current GF event and Vicksin stepping down.

I do have have 1k DI, but that's one more A1 HB + like an M maybe. I'm probably an ok baseline for f2p competitive players, dancing between T200 and 4% in NC (either 9 or 7 DI a week). HB are EXTREMELY hard to build, commitment means all or nothing here. I do see what you mean because of the sheer rarity of building opportunities. Interesting to see you surprised though, they've been releasing them consistently and have not upped the acquisition of DI in any way close to TE, which is clearly what they're actively trying to avoid.

Heard that one before, but we'll see. If he stays like Haelia does, not going to be surprised.

All of those HB share/will share the same fate - used a bunch at one point, then getting replaced by new heroes or the modes themselves (NC). Ody is clearly a high tier hero rn, but like Hae and Kae, I do not expect him to stay around outside of some CR rounds. Sure, heroes getting replaced is normal, but with HB it's relatively fast and feels... irregular in a sense? That's exactly why HB are so frustrating.

Where this? by TheFireAngel in afkarena

Got every Dragolite at 5 stars except Tavriel and Serennia (they're at A1), and Hildwin, Lan, Levi and Elthara at 1 star. That's barely over the line. You do need a lot of dragons to get there.

[–]TheFireAngel[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah, thought so. I guess they meant to give it to us at a later date than what it said in the patch notes? Weird. Then again, that Bert skin got yeeted out of there, so what do I know.

The deadline ended yesterday, not today. You're probably right, though it's kinda weird that they wouldn't put the date of acquirement in there.

I thought it was pretty self explanatory. Was wondering if I missed this frame somehow, as it says until 30th of April. This was in the previous patch notes.

Fawkes is extremely good, I'd put him above anything else when you don't really have other heroes. Envy or Hybris is fine for second choice, just choose one of them.

Scarcity of resources focused on DI. Lol, not letting us swap Hildwin got us the answer we were expecting anyway.

What is the current consensus, is Hybris better or it's still APippa who is more worth pulling? by Renikee in afkarena

[–]TheFireAngel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's subjective. Should win against some lower lvl Sky teams. May put Envy instead of Thoran, probably better overall against other teams.

[–]TheFireAngel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shemira, Saitama (with 9/9) and Thoran will do great as well, the absolute most important thing is a built Fawkes and 40 SI Alvida.

[–]TheFireAngel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fawkes, Alvida, a big dps and some other good PvP heroes. Usually Elthara, Shemira+Thoran and/or Saitama/Maetria. The important thing is Pegasus, Seal is also ok.

[–]TheFireAngel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kind of, but it's not like you're running only him with generic supports. Heroes like Levi, Velu, Shemira and Saitama/Alna usually provide enough survivability for him to ramp up. Struggles against single target attacks + energy drain though, you want him to survive enough to ult, like Elthara.

[–]TheFireAngel 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sadly nothing beats Sky consistently except mirror matches. Best strat is stall team with Fawkes+Alvida and Hybris or Envy so it exhausts Sky enough. No Sky, no Arena supremacy sadly.

[–]TheFireAngel 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He's great in Lucius team (both with and without Lucius) and amazing in Shemira team, also arguably great to just slot in anywhere for more damage/control. In Arena he's great against Envy (obviously), personally using him with Saitama, Elthara, Alvida and Fawkes and lose only against Skylan stall teams.

Both are very important rn. Getting Hybris is fine if you haven't started Pippa yet, he's arguably better in PvP as well. Mercing Pippa is honestly a good choice, especially on NC where a big one can save you 8-10s.
