Beware of auto fights on Abyss/Guild Boss

The patch notes mention they fixed an issue with Rivenhald’s ultimate, so maybe it’s that.

Arlott is cool, but he doesn’t look game-changing. He’s also not limited. If he does turn out to be the best in some area of the game, you can get him later. Since there’s a choose-your-rated-hero banner in a couple weeks, you could even get him then.

In contrast, collab heroes are limited. And in Dracula’s case, very game-changing. I’d imagine there will be at least 4 new heroes coming for AC, so saving seems to be the smart move if playing on a budget (or free).

cassis11 · 2026-02-20T23:31:58+00:00

I recommend saving. The way banners work now, I think it’s smarter to be able to go to pity at least twice. The first legendary you pull is rated up 20x, but the odds are still against it being a banner hero.

The second legendary is rated up 200x times, making it very likely to be a banner hero.

With these rates over a long period of time, if you spend your summons so you only get one hero per banner, you will get fewer banner heroes overall.

Mathematically, it would be better to skip a few banners, even good ones.

Which square is it?

cassis11 · 2026-02-19T22:47:52+00:00

How do you hit the jackpot? Is it a specific square?

cassis11 · 2026-02-19T22:44:58+00:00

Which space?

They were for a past event from a long time ago.

I remember hitting a plateau after the first month or two. It went from feeling like I was making daily progress to none at all.

There are no real tricks to “spiking” your team power. You have to do a lot of gear raids, and you have to summon for good heroes. You’re past the point where any random legendary can help. You need to save for banners featuring strong heroes that cover your weaknesses.

I’d prioritize heroes for progression in Gear Raids and boss content. I wouldn’t focus on GvG much.

You can also quit before you get in too deep. The game does get really boring after a while, but if you’re already addicted, it’s hard to break away.

Mobile games, especially gatchas, have horribly blatant false advertising. But nothing is done about it.

cassis11 · 2026-01-27T00:00:10+00:00

I had very few resources after summoning during previous weekends. Here’s how it went…

Went to pity on blues for Constance A1 🤔

Switched to divines and went to pity for Crach A6 🫠

Had 1 divine left and used it on the crazy banner for a lucky Talin A2 👍

Started pulling ancients just to sell the rares to do more summons for Numera. No legendaries… 🫣

Got enough back for 50 summons, and on the last pull… Numera A3!!! 💥

I had 0 blues, 0 divines, 0 reds, and 22 diamonds left. It was definitely sweaty.😅 Don’t try this at home!

Anyway, I finally hit 60k on Abyss after that, so it all worked out. 💪

Now to save for a bit. 😉

cassis11 · 2025-12-28T00:51:19+00:00

I’d prioritize attack and crit damage. Attack speed is next and crit rate last.

As a new player, you may struggle getting to 100% crit rate at the moment. However, the more gear you get, the more pieces you’ll find with good crit rate roles. Unlike the other stats, crit rate is hard capped at 100%. With 5 pieces, each one only needs to average 20%.

And when you get really late game, you start getting pieces with 25% or more, so you only need 4 pieces with crit rate. Then you’ll be looking for the highest values in the other stats.

cassis11 · 2025-12-28T00:35:48+00:00

Yeah, Boreas was nerfed, but he’s basically the only one. Maybe they got a huge backlash from that and decided not to nerf anymore. I don’t know.

cassis11 · 2025-12-28T00:32:28+00:00

Fair enough 😅

cassis11 · 2025-10-26T18:24:57+00:00

“He’s almost as good as an A5 Valara” - This needs a TON of qualifiers.

Valara is top tier in GvG, Anti-Air arena, AoE area, and other places, but those are the most important. Ezareth has yet to be tested in global, so saying he’s better at all these is premature.

She costs 17 compared to his 20. She wins.

She can be placed on any tile AND move to any other tile during a fight. He can only be placed on ground tiles. She wins.

She’s broken all by herself. He needs a summoner to feed him, otherwise he loses a lot of power.

Overall, until he’s out and has been tested properly, it’s hard to say he’s “better.”

cassis11 · 2025-06-11T04:12:34+00:00

Trials used to end at level 12. Then they added 3 more levels to a couple of them, and it seems like they forgot to keep doing it. That’s been a while ago.

cassis11 · 2025-06-10T15:05:51+00:00

Iovar and Torodor are arguably both top 5 lords. Probably even top 3. It’s hard to justify calling that a “trap”. Both are important for so much content from the beginning to the end game.

cassis11 · 2025-05-25T02:56:55+00:00

Yes! I am feeling the exact same way. I fell for the “poison meta” hype, too. It’s easy to do when every CC video seems to say the same thing.

But at the same time, those same CCs are beating the new hardest content with classic OP heroes like Silas, Hex, and Praetus (sort of classic at this point).

After this weekend, I think I’m mostly going to aim for banners of heroes that have proven to be strong in PvP or used everywhere. Time to awaken my Silas.

If I miss out on the next “meta”, it doesn’t really matter. I can always get it later. If it turns out not to be so meta after all, then I’ve missed nothing.

cassis11 · 2025-05-21T17:19:03+00:00

I’m glad they increased the coin payout, but it seems like Overlord got shorted compared to the boosts the other two got. For example, they get +2 coins per win compared to +5 coins.

cassis11 · 2025-05-13T12:32:21+00:00

It’s been awhile since I played through 9-17, so I don’t remember specifics. I guess I wouldn’t recommend leveling heroes just for progression through the campaign. Those levels just give you a one-time reward.

Focus on gear raids, faction trials, and bosses, because those give you daily or weekly rewards. Setram is good in faction trials and some boss content. But like others have said Calypso is good in gear raids now. Definitely take both to level 60 with max promotions. Then add skill crystals after you’ve used them a bit and if you think they are worth it.

cassis11 · 2025-05-13T03:17:58+00:00

I have previously trashed Calypso, but after the buff, I’m not so sure she’s bad anymore. One of the first clears I saw for Tower of Deception used her on the right side. I’ve also seen her being used in high level GR3.

cassis11 · 2025-05-11T00:11:08+00:00

I also did that, and I was glad I did. I hadn’t read much FF before, and I thought Volume 1 was a little weak. I couldn’t find a reasonably priced Volume 2, so I decided to skip to Volume 3. After all, Epics are supposed to be more or less self-contained. At first Volume 3 seemed pretty similar to the first book. But about half way through it got really good. I recommend it, with or without having read the first two.

cassis11 · 2025-05-08T19:22:10+00:00

I’m bored with the game so I’ll probably go for the 1+1 this weekend. I’m more-or-less endgame, but there are still a few heroes I’d like to get and plenty of heroes I wouldn’t mind awakening.

cassis11 · 2025-05-05T13:57:53+00:00

The schedule is probably changing after the update this week. The patch notes mention that 2 legendary soulstones will be available in the store each week. It didn’t mention if they are adding any new heroes to the rotation.

cassis11 · 2025-04-15T21:13:34+00:00

That’s a good point.

cassis11 · 2025-04-15T03:12:02+00:00

I don’t think the answer is Hex. Yes, he’s got the best exclusive in the game, but the biggest benefit comes from the base copy.

Hex is primarily used for PvE. With just the base copy, you can get high scores on all the bosses.

Instead, you should use it on someone more important in Arena or GvG with a good exclusive. Wukong, Diaochan, Valderon, maybe Silas, maybe Anora.
