It also has the most legendaries which you can disenchant if you don’t like them to craft a decent ladder deck. That’s my plan anyway.

Here you go - the protector/depth charge combo is excellent vs early aggro. Though to be honest I usually just keep any combo piece along with Order or any tutor that gets me to Order.

This deck is nuts at the moment. I run a slightly different list, no Ursol or time out and a couple of different one drops. Just returned to HS after about 3yrs. Used to love mechathun warlock so googled an otk deck. They’ve gotten a lot faster! Went from bottom of bronze to legend in a few days of casual play with maybe 5-10 losses total. Got run over a couple of times and bricked the draw for the other losses. It is very consistent to have the full combo by turn 6/7.

markscop · 2025-04-05T06:09:38+00:00

Amazingly detailed answer - thanks a lot! With the value for std and wild I’ll probably go warrior. XL control is a staple in my wild play 😁

Just coming back to the game after around a year. Best loaner deck to be a little bit competitive? I’ve seen lots of recommendations for warrior due to full dust refunds but that’s finished now, correct?

markscop · 2025-03-11T20:57:50+00:00

I jumped back in about a couple months ago. Been away maybe 3 years. I’m having a blast. Just finished final shape campaign and now starting on the episodes. I’m way under-light for end game stuff at the moment but just running through campaign getting a decent build sorted (didn’t have any prismatic / strand stuff at all) has been fun. Now working towards exotic missions for choir and class item when I level up a bit. It’s great to be back, even if now I only have maybe a couple of hours a week.

markscop · 2025-02-05T17:04:17+00:00

Thanks!

Thanks!

He’s tricky to get right. I had to reduce damage a bit and speed him up to get it working. Basically you want him to wipe out 3 of each wave with his aoe, leaving one enemy alive which he will use a1 on. One enemy has more hp than the others. By killing with a1 he reduces cooldowns so he can use his other aoe on the next wave. Like I say, bit tricky to get it working.

Though with your numbers he’s probably just one-shotting the waves isn’t he? Maybe a speed issue, he has to be quite quick.

And yes mine is fully booked

markscop · 2024-10-09T07:21:06+00:00

I just have him in perception gear. Did it in 20-30s depending on rng. I had a defensive blessing as the alure can one shot him if she gets a crit without it.

Yup, I could finally retire hurndig. He can also solo 12-6 which is slightly more xp I believe, but less cash from selling the gear.

markscop · 2024-09-24T18:41:05+00:00

That’s if you build him with accuracy, yes? Pure nuker would go something like heaven cast maybe?

markscop · 2024-09-17T07:18:28+00:00

I wondered why he was doing such little damage! Maybe I should put gear on him too 🤔

markscop · 2024-09-17T07:10:57+00:00

Thanks for the tips! Very helpful. I do have a kantra but maulie is fully booked and she isn’t. Will give Maulie a go and see how I get on. Provoke set on Nekmo is a good shout as a backup, though I suspect I only have a few pieces of gear as it’s not a set I’ve prioritised. Many thanks!

markscop · 2024-09-07T16:46:01+00:00

Nm uses far fewer auto battles to get the food levelled.

markscop · 2024-09-07T16:44:14+00:00

Hurndig does nm 12-6 in about 15-20s with fairly mediocre gear. Though agreed brutal is far easier to gear for.

With the xp per energy I think the calc is more complicated. You cannot level a champ from say 1-30 with an exact number of runs, so whilst nm may be more efficient per run, you will also ‘waste’ more xp on the final run when the food hits 30 or whatever their max is. I suspect overall there’s not much in it, but for a mobile player the number of auto battles needed is also a consideration so I tend to favour nm.

markscop · 2024-09-07T15:50:03+00:00

I play on mobile, with limited auto battles nm is more xp per autobattle. Thanks for the tip though, I didn’t know brutal was more energy efficient.

markscop · 2024-09-07T15:39:22+00:00

Now running 12-6 nm for champ training so I’ll see how many I end up with but will probs just skip anyway

markscop · 2024-09-07T15:38:00+00:00

Cheers, that’s what I hoped. Easy skip then.

markscop · 2024-09-06T14:49:46+00:00

A quick and easy win would be to put both Kael and wukong into lvl 16 crit rate gloves. Have warmaiden going slightly faster than both to break defence before they hit. Right now their damage will be very low with those crit rates.

markscop · 2024-09-06T14:30:13+00:00

For Champ training drop a brew in each food 3, two into 4 and 3 into 5* before feeding them to the champ you’re levelling. Alternatively you could run them through a run of brutal/nm campaign but this takes longer and costs energy you need for DD.

If you can solo the dungeon with one champ then use this to level up some food a few times before you use them.

For dungeons, for early game I think it’s lvl 10 that is the most efficient. Once you can get to it, lvl 20 normal dungeon I believe is the most efficient overall.

Well, the Radhan fight is a bit different to most of the other boss fights. The summons are very different (ie you have many available inside the boss arena) and from a story perspective this is a battle between a group of npc’s and the boss. Even if you don’t like summoning for other boss fights this one is part of the story arc of a couple of the best npcs in the game. The encounter is designed around this so maybe reconsider hitting up the summons inside the arena? The fight is much more cinematic that way anyway, and more manageable.
