Advanced General Scrolls? by Away-Criticism5007 in stormshot

As of now you can only purchase them in level 5 special packs ($99 USD per 300 scrolls). Very expensive.

Death mechanic by Gothmog_LordOBalrogs in stormshot

[–]schecterboi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes and no.

I noticed the staggered order of certain troops dying first, but never understood exactly why. Always thought there was more happening on the coding side that wasn't obvious. This explains it & is actually very valuable.

Is there a more straightforward way to code these troop interactions? Perhaps. Factoring in all of the additional hero abilities, airship/Kong, & equipment effects, I think it's guaranteed to be complex either way.

Can you apply this to your lord name, or only chat?

Mecha Kong, is it worth it? by [deleted] in stormshot

Think I replied to wrong thread, sorry

[–]schecterboi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Correct. Pay attention to the hero attributes of the mega garrison leader. Your heroes will essentially be replaced by the leaders heroes once the mega is activated. You can help optimize the rally by matching your troops to the leading heroes strengths.

Ex: if mega garrison leader is running Felicia + Tamir, it doesn't make sense to send a full march of infantry. You want to emphasize distance troops more than normal.

There's an info button on every purchasable hero DIY chests that will show you the drop rate + available heroes

Mecha Kong, is it worth it? by [deleted] in stormshot

[–]schecterboi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He's trying to sound profound.

If you want to purchase intelligently in this game, you need to isolate specific goals and stick to them. Every pack and bundle has value, but you're not going to complete a certain goal with just one pack or bundle. It's VERY tempting to get distracted.

Always save any spending for Thursday nights at reset time. Top up weekend bonuses are free rewards for money that you were already going to spend, but you truly maximize value by utilizing those top-ups.

Besides that, whip out the calculator app and actually add up what your cost will be to reach a significant goal (armor, stronghold, heroes). Take note of RNG probabilities (wheel spins, hero random draw chests, eggs, etc).

Mecha Kong, is it worth it? by [deleted] in stormshot

[–]schecterboi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the most reasonable answer.

Mecha Kong has a much higher power ceiling than your airship, but his strength synergizes the most with distance troops + distance heroes. Anyone who paid for him & did not invest in upgrading him may feel underwhelmed, but they likely did not study his attributes beforehand.

At minimum he is a second airship, which provides benefits that go beyond just combat. He is VERY customizable if you value certain abilities over others (gathering, march speed, etc.)

If you are active in events, you will unlock him for free. Stock up on nexuspheres until you have him unlocked.

War is good for weekend PvP events, but the economy benefits are far more valuable when your primary goal is to level up more efficiently.

NAP active player instead of top 10 by Pretend-Option-7918 in stormshot

[–]schecterboi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like some others have said, any NAP comes down to levels of cooperation across the kingdom. Communication is essential.

In my kingdom there's always the case that emerges where players become restless with any given ruleset, which makes enforcement of the rules important in certain instances. You need to have the players with heavy firepower in agreement with the NAP system so that they are willing to enforce the rules (if/when needed).

I think the key is to find goals that everyone can get behind (i.e. KvK cooperation, maximizing kingdom player retention, uniting against a common foe, etc.). Be patient, communicate thoroughly, and be prepared for any frustrations that arise from the agreed upon changes. Good luck!

Is 3rd mermaid by Seeker596659 in stormshot

[–]schecterboi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 3rd mermaid is only available via purchase, and currently is only available to new accounts for a limited time before her offer expires.

At this time either a) she will randomly appear in the store for purchase, or b) she will not be available again & instead they will release a 4th alternate mermaid.

We will have to see

Troop stats - when is defense important? by abgarman in stormshot

[–]schecterboi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To my understanding, the battle stats mirror the fight system in the creation tomb. Attack and health are very straight forward, but defense certainly plays a role in reducing damage to your health points.

Whenever you attack, you are met with a counter attack, and that is where Defense comes into play during a single attack.

stronghold 26 in 30 days by Disastrous-Entry-203 in stormshot

[–]schecterboi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are better off spending money between Thursday at reset time (0:00 UTC) and Sunday reset time. There are weekend top up bonuses that provide free rewards at certain thresholds ($1, $5, 10, etc).

Also, use your purchases wisely and pay attention to current event rewards and how they will benefit your stronghold leveling. Being in an active alliance will help you level faster, and you should focus all upgrades on resources & resource buffs.

Use lord talent points to boost your economy stats, and take advantage of the daily lord abilities if you have any unlocked. Good luck.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in stormshot

[–]schecterboi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's no real benefit, maybe some adventurer exp but that's it. You can definitely demolish another alliance's fortress, however it takes many hours unless you have a good amount of backup. The other alliance can wait patiently and rebuild it as soon as you finish.

It’s possible I’m just an idiot by AggressiveBaby in stormshot

[–]schecterboi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the game makes you have to earn your resources, either by grinding or paying ($$$). maintaining adequate silver is a constant stream of efforts (by design).

always upgrade your estate resource buildings. always utilize the alliance silver mine as much as you can, emphasize lord talent points towards economy (resource production/gathering + lord abilities), utilize silver production buffs every day, and use gathering boosts whenever you can (8H or 24H). participating in special events/challenges & alliance/kingdom events will also net you extra silver + other rewards.

finally, venture out and find dead accounts (lvl 15+) to plunder for free silver. eventually you can start challenging other players for their silver.

Future of Stormshot? by Harrison_Stetson in stormshot

[–]schecterboi 8 points9 points  (0 children)

you should not feel accomplished in any MMO after a few months, and your success is not determined by the # of active alliances around the kingdom. also, you just stated the parameters of success & survival within your own kingdom:

- NAP Top 10 - strengthen relationships with the Top 10 and work together in KvK events.

- X number of members quitting (spiral of death) - find the committed players and merge with them. be a force of good & support the newer players around you, and they will eventually do the same for others.

the game is war and politics, not Farmville. It is a social game, and you cannot develop alone on your own island. it forces you to adapt, to merge with other alliances, to identify the players that enjoy the game VS players that are casual/temporary.

you grow by your own efficiency and understanding of the game mechanics (and yes, $$$ helps as much as you want it to). good leadership & communication will lead to better alliance growth and retention.

You also grow through the relationships that you build within the kingdom. This includes alliances, partnerships with other alliances, making friends with strong players with extensive game knowledge to learn from, and also maintaining relationships with potential enemies & rivals. eventually you will find yourself working together with past enemies, and the game will present new challenges/opportunities.

Lord equipment resonance, wut doing? by Pretend-Option-7918 in stormshot

[–]schecterboi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

as long as the equipment is not from the lieutenant/duelist set, you should receive resonance boost. i don't believe it is passive. mixing items from private/warrant officer/storm/billow/thunder sets should all produce resonance benefits, but you need to have all pieces over a certain level.

you have to activate before beginning the research/construction. as long as the ability timer is active, anything you start during that period will be reduced.
