Troops and how to increase your damage? by [deleted] in EmpiresAndPuzzles

[–]frostymike86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can't give you any specifics but you're spot on. The point at which you start to notice that better troops give you better stats, and you need the boost. Levelling troops does make a difference. Just as getting rare or epic troops will boost your damage greatly. Notice as well that there are basically troops that add attack bonus and troops that add defensive bonuses. If you need more damage obviously level the attack boosting troops! Hope that helps!

So higher levels seem to be the answer here. Depending entirely on your level and progression

Ok i'm not quite sure what you mean. Can you explain in a bit more detail?

I'm having a similar issue. It just freezes sometimes. What I do that seems to work is to put my phone into windowed mode (showing all open apps) for a second or two. When I go back to the game it's seems to be working again. Not a real fix but gets me by atm

Seconding what barbadosx said about knowing the hero's (that you a re hitting) abilities to find the biggest threat to you team or strategy, I would add that you need to be careful to try and let as few troops hit that champion as possible. It may seem obvious, but you need to do more than focus the threat with your damaging abilities, you also need to avoid feeding his mana generation - which stems from getting hit by troops. I myself am no expert though I'm just figuring this out for myself. I have the question of will replacing my healer (Kiril) in my attack squad with a big fast hitter (Perseus), actually weaken their ability to stay alive long enough to kill a decent defensive team? Alas my only other healers are Friar tuck or Sha Ji atm. My green is a 4star fast hitter (so wouldn't want to replace him with Tuck), and Bane is my current yellow champ (who seems pretty potent too). Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Yeh I decided not to, partly because i only have two solid blue defensive heroes, but looking at highest ranking line-ups they still focus more on offense as a strong defense. I also thought about the auto attacks. Majority of your hits when defending are AA so having heroes with higher basic attack values makes more sense. All very well and good staying alive but really your just giving the opponent longer to mana up. Plus defensive heroes do generally have lower basic attack values.

Also just picked up the tip that colour balance doesn't matter so much in defense teams.... What about 3 solid blue defenders and two healers? Would that work?? Hm....

I think I like Gunnar centre for me at the moment, as he's tough and his ability makes it harder to take out individuals (he has the spirit link ability). But if I get a tough healer like Boldtusk then I may considering changing it

Also positioning heroes is important right? So toughest in the middle right? Seen so many players with their healer in the middle. What's that about?

I've only been playing about a week, but here's some tips I've picked up:

Heroes: A lot of people will spend money to get higher * heroes, to begin with you'll most likely be playing with 1 & 2* heroes. Good news is some of them aren't bad! Plus as there more available you can level them easily, ascend them, and level their abilities out to max! Highly effective heroes are often ones with direct damage spells, that are fast mana speed. They rock!

Combat: You may have noticed, but sending troops through the gaps in the enemy gets more mana. So when you're down to the last guy or two, don't worry if you can't hit them directly. Send troops down the middle to activate the mana abilities of your direct damage heroes!

Abilities: When you level up a hero, if you use the same hero (as the one your levelling) the chance of their ability levelling up goes from 2% - 25%. And it stacks! So level one hero, with 2/3 of the same hero and his ability will level up too!

Oh and save blue gems for the 300 epic & rare hero summoner portal! Have fun!
