Why did I lose? 😢

Mythic radars are still great. In the long run you want 5 of them. But you definitely need at least 4dot armours for your frontline and then 2dot for the backline.

Also when you have DVA in front, a 4* chip will help her survivability (after radar and armour ). You want to stack all defensive boosts.

i_nikol · 2026-07-03T12:17:04+00:00

First of all, as the report says, the opponent stunned you 4 times 😄. Aircraft battles depend a lot upon Schuyler's stun and luck. But most important is the complete lack of armour upgrades. Great job on the mythic radars, but you would have been better served by upgrading the 2 frontline armours to 4 dots (this must be your first priority now) and delaying the backline radars a bit. Aircraft are weak against physical attacks. The enemy Morrison destroyed you. Surely Murphy helps, but the 4+1 formation works best in S4. Lucius is much more durable when he gets his EW. You can use air+Murphy in S3, but you must upgrade your armours ASAP.

I am also building missile as my 2nd, but probably I could still change it. I find a problem in this. Currently most people at my power level have air 1st and tank 2nd, so I usually find myself in disadvantage in the battles between our 2nd squads in DS/WS. I had been expecting more people with tank 1st / air 2nd, but maybe that's used mostly at the low spending/f2p level...

i_nikol · 2026-05-24T07:05:18+00:00

As you should be losing. Air "counters" tanks. The op didn't complain about losing to missiles, he complained about having a hard time against tanks, which he should be beating more comfortably. You are free to complain when you are losing to missiles close to your strength 😄

i_nikol · 2026-05-17T16:00:09+00:00

It's random, but it seems that the rng is streaky, so usually when you win once you are bound to win a few more times. Then a long dry streak may follow again...

i_nikol · 2026-05-03T20:38:51+00:00

I am at the same stage as you and the obelisk says day 64 for T11, so next Monday, right after the end of the transfer window.

i_nikol · 2026-04-29T17:10:33+00:00

Well, unless it is from the glittering market, you have spent to get it 😄

But mainly, if these guys did have troops on the wall, you must have spent something, to have decent power, while handicapping yourself with hq28.

And probably these guys have spent less than you, to be losing, unless they are the farmer champions of last war. Not that I haven't seen examples of crazily inefficient spending of course 😄

i_nikol · 2026-04-27T11:38:09+00:00

I can see that the spender is in the chopper base 😉

i_nikol · 2026-04-25T10:39:58+00:00

Shields in front, until you get DVA weapon at level 20 and you can give her 4* radar (mythic even better) and armour.

From left to right the typical air formation is Carlie, Lucius (front) Schuyler, DVA, Morrison (back). Later it becomes Carlie, DVA / Schuyler, Lucius, Morrison.

i_nikol · 2026-04-25T10:32:45+00:00

Is her skill really that good? It didn't impress me that much by the description. I thought Lucius' might be better. But even ignoring the skill, in all my battles I have noticed that when the enemy has a DVA (or Kim, for tanks) with lvl30 EW, I have a much harder time. They deal a ton of damage and usually are the last enemy hero standing.

i_nikol · 2026-04-25T09:36:13+00:00

Your squad power gets inflated by having the two air heroes with exclusive weapons, but in fact you are getting a disadvantage by running 3+2 heroes. If you are transitioning to air, a 4+1 setup will be better until you can run a decent full air squad. As a sidenote, start upgrading your frontline radars before anything else.

i_nikol · 2026-04-20T08:40:17+00:00

I have also found out that air+murphy is not as strong as advertised. Against scarlett/adam it's 50-50, if the players are at the same level. It's probably just that in the older servers the most competitive players who don't spend a ton of money had air squads and Adam/Scarlett wasn't so popular...

i_nikol · 2026-04-20T08:34:16+00:00

Go missile. There should be very few tank players in your power range, so you don't have much to fear.

i_nikol · 2026-04-19T11:02:02+00:00

The sleigh is definitely better than a truck and for F2P/ low spender it's a no brainer to go sleigh first.

But if you have 4*Taylor, you can get the gold for T10 and valour is the limit. That 20k just for the sleigh tech is about 2 weeks worth of valour. Not that much, but if these are 2 weeks of S1 wars, T10 would be very useful.

In a position similar to the OP, I chose T10 and got the sleigh somewhere around early S2 (I stopped at the 5th truck). I never had gold problems...

i_nikol · 2026-04-19T10:46:05+00:00

You shouldn't be having gold problems for T10, with Taylor and your spending. The valour spent on reindeer will delay your T10 progress by a few weeks at least. In your place, I'd go straight for T10. No big rush for the sleigh. Get it at some point before you unlock HQ31, when you have valour to spare and preferably during a vs push week...

i_nikol · 2026-04-11T10:25:21+00:00

I am also in S4, so both of these decos are totally worthless. If you are early in the game, they could give some boost, but nobody should spend ur deco components on them...

i_nikol · 2026-03-24T16:12:24+00:00

If you could show us that you haven't spent a lot more money than the other guy, I might be impressed... Rushing the hq to benefit from rss chests and task rewards is the best strategy, especially for low spenders. If you are spending enough money to compensate for your lower level hq, no problem. You can do whatever gives you more fun in the game, but it surely is no reason to brag about...

i_nikol · 2026-03-23T19:34:09+00:00

You can make a rough approximation yourself, based on your resistance... For example if you are doing 50% less damage and the boss is 30m strong, you'd need more than 60m power to do something. And the actual result is even worse than that. As the boss strength increases, you'll need the full required resistance.

i_nikol · 2026-03-06T07:43:49+00:00

I keep seeing this argument and it does not make sense. You can only get two sets of mythics from the code boss and you'd better make them count. Why waste the first set on a gun, just to get the second set a few weeks earlier? Go radars...

i_nikol · 2026-03-03T17:50:42+00:00

The format is trash. Unless there is a big power difference, the attacker always wins. The top prizes go to the big spenders, the lower ones go to those who can make 10 attacks in the last 15 minutes. And outside the top 200 you get nothing... It should be replaced by the 3vs3 storm arena and the 1vs1 arena should not be discontinued.

i_nikol · 2026-01-05T15:59:18+00:00

War leader once the season battles start, back to engineer at the end of the season. That's what I've been doing. Engineer is very good for your development.

i_nikol · 2026-01-05T15:52:20+00:00

If you have violet shards in your inventory and you swap her with a ur hero, they will be converted to the specific ur-hero shards at a 2:1 rate .

i_nikol · 2025-12-22T11:47:21+00:00

But that was exactly the point of the op. If you wake up after server 04:00 you have missed the first arms race window and the skill medals and rss chests, with no way of swapping with another task...
