New speed bump
@ember pasture saveas and Isabella do the damage and golus tanks and stuns
@feral plaza You want Ainz in back and protected so he can finish his channel and ult as soon as possible. Looks like you finished that level, but you want him away from Arden or he'll get locked down. For the second one, keep him away from Belinda. Again, you want him to finish his channel without interruption.
@ember pasture but everyone else dies too fast
Your main tank is a Mauler, which will always have trouble with Lightbearers. Sometimes the key is in the name...AFK and get a few levels.
@feral plaza you should be more than fine on that level my lineup is nearly the same, I'm lower levels and stuck on 15-40
I just can’t tolerate the fact my friend passed me and went to next stage o.e
focus on heroes who can contribute when dead/dying like thoran, brutus, rowan, lyca, etc
@feral plaza also reset someone and get ainz to 161, big increase in power on the only character that matters other than daiman
I need help
@raw rune, you might try Arden to cc the Saveas. But you're also hitting the point where you can't push whenever you feel like it. You have a full LB team, but they're dying to Maulers. This means they're waay weak, so you may need to wait for levels and/or ascension.
I've used saurus, mehira and lyca, so i could add some of those back, but i doubt that makes a huge huge difference it's just saveas is really strong
but yeah i understand its getting even harder than it was at c9
kinda sucks that even after l+ I'm still losing super quickly though
Am stuck
edit: Ainz at L+/lvl 156 is in my hero arsenal too
Do I get thoran to L+ or do I save the fodder for when I have the 4th copy of shemira?
how can i make rosa mirael work here
Not sure what to try since they just stomp me down
Someone please help, I can't beat athalia
helloo, um... could anyone help me with a stage please??
@tidal dust Levels are all around the place, reset some heroes to pump up carries
@tidal dust Levels are all around the place, reset some heroes to pump up carries
@coral pier who's my "carrys"
right now lucretia wukong
and if u can answer this, do I fodder wu kong at around 100 for shemira ?
I heard he drops
Any tips to get through this stage?
Any ideas? Hypo mage seems to do the most damage but can’t really tell
@unkempt field i remember using the following: 1 shemira, 2 lucius, 3 fawkes or ferael, 4 rowan and 5 rosaline, it took a few tries but you’ll make it eventually!
Any ideas on this one ?
Halp
I tried everyone got oneshotted
Ok 18-32 worked. I made a hybrid of my comp and yours @pale kettle
@sturdy kiln Tasi front instead of Lyca?
nice @unkempt field!
yeah hypo mage can be weirdly annoying, usually not a problem if you can deal with other enemies @mild geyser
Hey any recommendations I need a good all around setup
I'm kinda new so this is all I have
I currently just use the top row
Eironn is really good, Shemira is a good carry and the game throws her at you and Tasi is a really good unit because of her teleport and ult
@dark roost You can build a Niru or Vedan for a replacement 5th L+ member, which can later be fed to Shemira and take her Ascended.
Day 2 of being stuck against Estrilda... I even put Angelo on the crystal, with no results at all (congratulations to the one who trolled me and made me waste 24h)
pippa arena trials picture anyone?
google it
Pulled Fawkes and solved everything 👍
Just google pippa trials and you will see a page with a image guide
Please help
can I beat this stage at this point? been on afk for like 4 days
@random lichen You are completely missing a carry hero. All levels are on Estrilda so Saf can't carry. This won't help you right now, but you really can'y use estrilda as a main carry.
So put more levels on safiya?
@gray schooner Put Rowan to middle of the back row, he isn't healing your wukong right now.
@random lichen Yeah but you are pretty ascension capped. You need to work on getting copies and ascending a damage carry hero.
is this lineup okay? im new
that doesn't really change things though, he dies after 4 seconds regardless, with hogan lasting marginally longer
@gray schooner Also with your heroes a higher power difference might not be possible at this time
ok
@timid sun Put Rowan to middle of back row and switch Izold to Talene
ehh i dont know names of heroes 😄
talene is the phoenix, izold is the graveborn guy with a bunch of tubes and needles
this is okay?
lucretia and mirael are my main dps right?
yes
should i lvl up talene too?
put some baseline level on her
she isn't supposed to be your damage dealer in early game, she just has massive heals
okay,thank you
👍
This is just not working always die on same way
did you look up a guide?
Anyone have kings tower 434
yeah this team is from guide
are you looking at the right one? @light igloo
Yeah i m pretty sure
@pearl zinc So far Tasi-Talene-Ferael-Rowan-Daimon has been able to powercap clear the past 40 stages for me
@frank ridge What have you tried so far?
i have gwyn (gwynthur rosa rowan talene) and eironn (tasi lyca eironn rowan talene) comps, i might just be positioning incorectly though
You should really make a Daimon comp, he is the king of kings tower
i mean, i have daimon built but ive never found/been told the comp for him
how should i position? i'll give it a go
Just try different positions, possibly rowan frontline if needed.
It is always about small adjustments to positions in these stages that you can't instantly see when you look at the layout.
someone help me what to do? cant clear this stage
your levels are too balanced, pump lucretia and mirael
missing resources
you can always reset others to lvl 20
how?
rickety cart
Can someone help me
Don't have eironn under athalia dive. Also is your skriath doing anything without 3/3, you could have a rowan instead @clever bobcat
@coral pier daimon comp is even worse, everyone gets instapopped
@frank ridge I was kinda suspecting that, the heroes in that comp aren't very built in your acc. What about using your main comps and slotting daimon in for wherever he can fit?
I am currently using brutus, lucius, and backline wun ku, rowan and tasi , any suggestions on what should i change? According to the images above
I do 1.4bn damage with this comp. Any ideas on how I can improve the damage. I can merc some heroes.
@bronze nova Grez instead of rowan and 3/3 daimon instead of rosaline
frontline grez ofc with talene
Hmm thats a problem
i'm asking if it's possible to do more with my current heroes. i'm working towards daimon and grez
can you merc a daimon?
i can, yes
That would be worth a shot imo
well the person i req from is online so i'll let you know if it works
I will go to sleep now tho
ok gn then
good luck
thanks for the advice
👍
I just started playing this game a few days ago and I don't know who to put on my team
Currently using heroes on the top row
Any advice?
If I had
Rosaline
albedo
Rowan
???
ainz
Who would fill the gap best?
Could anyone possibly help with my lineup? Getting rocked all of a sudden (I realize I might be underleveled here
i need some advice. ive been stuck in 31-44. i believe im over leveled at this point but cant beat it. the first team is a 7 times out of 10 wins but i get wiped almost instantly for the second. best run has been with a janky thoran build. tried everything else.
biggest threats are rosaline and shemira i believe. this has been my best runs since sunday night
Can i please get help, which of these heroes should i focus for 5 hero comp??
🤦♀️ halp lol
@worldly parcel
@teal hill Arden and Niru to L+. 5th unit can be whoever so long as their copies are available to take to L+ and you're not sacrificing Ascended tier heroes to do it.
Anybody Ive been stuck at 10-40 for a few day now
Those hypogean mages paired with verdans bat ult just mow through my team in seconds. Even with lucius shield
Anyone advanced that I can private message I’ve been stuck for 4 days and I just not sure if I’m using my hero’s the right way want to know if I should reset all of them and start from the bottom or what but don’t wanna spam 5 screen shots on here
@stark dew feel free to send me a note and I'll take a quick look
any ideas how to beat this stage?
Who can I replace +30 saurus with in Eironn Lyca Tasi Safiya Rowan?
Having trouble with 4x mauler MVs
@kindred lynx
safiya
rowan
eironn"
lyca
tasi
https://i.imgur.com/dLg3IJC.jpeg please helppp
Whats thebest team i can make for saurus?
@dull prairie are you looking to use him in campaign?
Bellinda, Rowan, Safiya, Lucius, and Lyca(I guess??)
Isnt like saures best for sauren?
Can I get help to make 3 teams for Challenger tournament?
oh didnt see him there, yeah use him for sure instead of lyca
Help
@slender ferry
That’s the same setup I’m using
Which one is it
@low ravine top right
Ty
Ideas?
do i just need to keep levelling or is there something else i can do?
Help 😦
you should put mirael in front of rosa @weak island
Cheers, it worked for the most part, now just gotta keep replaying until that damned Saveas dies
no problem, yeah I hated saveas in those battles, a bit later it's khasos, then it comes back to vedan
got really really close
Best shot on ae last boss with these? (I dont have twins, I dont have rosa) rowan is an option
Help
Cant win i die fast
Anyone who could help me out with this one
Reset the twins and level up Tasi instead so you can get higher level

u got athalia and nara?
Try gwyn
when mirael rosa works, they work wow
Finally did it with this, as soon as I changed Lyca for Talene I did it. Lyca kept killing one in the front all the time.
U can Google Pippa Cheese sheet. Google photo too. There are already cheat comp for every stage
Oh lol
@sacred mural invest in mirael and overlevel her, she will carry you better than shemira for now
@feral eagle but everyone said shemira is the best early mid carry lol
thats why i took her
@sacred mural she will be once you get her to 161+, before that she is kind of squishy. There's better alternatives nowadays anyway
Hi gius, do you have any tips? I can not find a team who survives more than 15s
@limpid crest u need to rent M+-A. EZIZH , use Talene, perhaps DPS is Daimon+Rowan, Eiron +Rowan. Use either Nara or Athalia directly opposite Oden
try mercing a +30 3/9 izold
Where would I place Saurus in an Eironn Lyca Tasi Rowan Safiya comp?
@limpid crest u need to rent M+-A. EZIZH , use Talene, perhaps DPS is Daimon+Rowan, Eiron +Rowan. Use either Nara or Athalia directly opposite Oden
@shut glacier ok thank you :)
Any suggestions? Been stuck for a while
@royal thorn What about arden instead of nara for the massive cc?
Also Belinda could work as frontline instead of Daimon since she her ascension and level is so much higher
7-16 need help
@timid sun your hero leveling/resonating crystal is all wrong. use this beginner guide as reference. I'm not fully confident that I have a solution for you for that stage, but you could try running Nemora across from Morvus instead of Lucretia.
Bruh share twice in fb and easy wukong
@timid sun the main problem I see is that you are leveling light/dark heroes that aren't your carry. Generally, you want to focus on leveling 2 LB fodders and one each from the other factions (Arden for Wilder and Saveas for Maulers are the recommendeed ones for those, you can use whatever in Graveborn), putting the rest in the resonating crystal. The reason for this is because you're very likely to be able to build a L+ fodder hero much quicker than other heroes, which is very important for level cap reasons
You get Wu Kong by pressing share twice (no need to actually share) when opening new heroes
what do i need to share?
Should I level up zaphrael as my main dmg dealer to replace as carry
Oh wait I cant get it above elite scratch that
even at E+ he is not a good carry
asked this earlier myself when I got a random zaph and hadn't yet collected the destiny's choice hero
Hmm ok thanks
eventually I just settled on lucretia for +100 diamonds since I was unlikely to use either and she is generally regarded as better anyway from what I've seen
Who should i make mythic + Eiron or Lyca?
Should I focus ainz or albedo
Help if I pass this one I'll get 10 summons and Belinda
there is no chance to beat this.... im doing nothing to them
been hard stuck there for 3 days, anyone has any advice? am i under leveled or is this a comp problem?
@queen garnet I don't know if someone helped you already but I did the 15 sec stage of misty valley with this team
Help pls
I’m stuck on 11-35
@queen garnet I don't know if someone helped you already but I did the 15 sec stage of misty valley with this team
@agile dawn thank you for your effort but I finished it now

@pale kettle take out the purple lady and put in luci
@boreal breach it died super fast
Dynamic Sister Duo strikes back. Suggestions? I have two free slots in the crystal.
any tips?
Any tips? Have been stuck for a while here
Horse should be in front to stun front liner and back liner with charge. Lucious should be protected long enough to ult @shrewd meadow
Thanks, i'll switch shemira with the horse, correct?
I don't even survive long enough to remove 50% of their health
can anyone help? I'm stuck 😦
@pliant stump Maybe Cecila in the spot of Rowan and Maybe Brutus, Ferael as carry
Maybe
Cecília
Lucius
Rowan
Daimon
Ferael
@pliant stump
I’m getting raked over the coals on this one. Any suggestions, TIA.
Help pls
Squad in 12-24. Any lineup tips progreasion tips on who to focus? Maeryl is still my carry. Just legend+ blinda as i will use her as my 160-240 carry. I also have 3 open crystal slots so any tips on who to put in?
switch belinda and arden
Can I have some help please
Any tips
@rigid oar Try putting lucius on the top front, Rowan back middle, Belinda instead of Odin and Fawkes top left
In chapter 13. This a good team or should i switch anyone in/out?
@tawny seal fawkes is dying pretty fast and it snowballs
@rigid oar try putting belinda top left and Fawkes bottom left then
thats what I did now belinda gets cocooned and dies @tawny seal
@rigid oar Do you want to try putting lucius and belinda on the bottom and shemira and Fawkes on the top you could also try switching Fawkes for Rosa
@tawny seal tried that belinda didnt last long and rosa also dies before she does much
@rigid oar You might have to level a little like belinda so she doesn't die early
@tawny seal was trying to get my shem to 161 first
@rigid oar Thats a good idea because then she starts healing herself
Do I ascend wu kong ? Bc I heard you should switch to shemira or something when around level 100
Hi everybody, I’m a little bit stuck at 10-19. Have you some tips or what hero I should focus please ? Main team: Lucius, Wukong, Gwyneth, Rowan and Rosalyne with faction bonus 25%
Should i build something diffrent? I dont really feel good right now with this team😩
I use same team as you but with astrilda, she's better than wukong imo for gwyn @proper pecan
@rich ruin Really love my team. Mh I will try Estrelda even if I like the ultimate of Wukong which deal lot of dmg and good tank. Thanks
@rich ruin Just tested her. Not bad, she died fast but not bad at all. Now, most of the time, I’m losing because of time :/
Maybe, need more burst ?
@proper pecan Shemira, Belinda and Eironn are great damaging units and Estrilda is a nice unit for her buffs but she's frail
@tawny seal I wanted test Duo Eironn&Safiya but not really worth. I think because of my low level. I’m at early game
Mh I tried Eironn one time, he died too fast but I like this hero. Even with Lucius, Nemora, Tasi, or other support/tank
I’m new to the game. I probably make some errors at the start ^^
@proper pecan Safiya and Eironn comps are one of the best comps late game but it takes a lot of resources with summons
@tawny seal you’re right !
@proper pecan Safiya is the best Mauler her ult basically one shots everyone and Eironn has high dodge and dps
@tawny seal Have you an idea of a team for 10-19 ? Including Eironn and Safiya
In chapter 10-19, they are a lot of Saveas and I need to keep Safiya and Eironn alive if I use them
You can see my heroes at top
you're on the right track, keep trying you'll get it eventually 🙂
mb it was covered @novel adder
Ohtros or rowan ? Othros helped me push through 6-34 boss
i meant the screen was covered if that wasn't what you thought I meant @novel adder
sorry for double hl
@raw rune i think its a matter of tries honestly.you can mess with some artifacts buti dont think there's much else you can do.
you can try playing around with athalia on the vedan. but the other units are doing pretty important jobs. but worth trial and error
yeah, fawkes gives them time, rosa makes mirael do enough damage, lucius is a tank that occasionally gets shield up and rowan is rowan
so it may just be a case of always having high enough levels on either mirael and then the rest of the team
Hey question for Gwyn/Arthur comps, is Chalice or the Tank relic considered the go-to for Arthur's relic now? And does that change if he has his 3/9?
OMG @novel adder mirael lived with a slither of hp, ended up putting them in the left back and it worked much better idk why maybe cos i finally realised isabella was getting hits off for free
same problem again what a surprise
Need help with this
Been here for a looong time plz help
@clear fjord
1.Thoran
2.Brutus
3.Daimon
4.Rowan
5.Nara
Put Nara vs whoever causes more trouble whether it be Morvus or Mirael.
Can't seem to beat 8.20 stage or 100 tower stage
@rigid birch I get demolished and Nara can't grab :( thoran works best in that position
@clear fjord try fawkes instead of nara
@rigid birch got it ty, swapped nara and rowan
gz
try to stick with that lineup
its really good for daimon
Which heroes am I focusing on best? Stage 8.20 and can't beat since 2 days..
level saveas as your main carry,
1.Lucius
2.Brutus
3.Lyca(Rosaline)
4.Rowan
5.Saveas
So 3 tanks?
it just seems like levels and rng but what do you think @rigid birch
@raw rune you can maybe try swapping rowan and lucius, then swapping lucius with brutus, can buy you some time till mirael ults. this should work
Feels bad man
Can you borrow Brutus from a friend?
nope and I've used my mercenary in campaign anyway
Im not really stuck im just wondering what my best lineup should be and if i should switch out other heroes like should i level up rosaline and switch out someone else?
@stuck trellis ty was able to clear first attempt
kk thanks
Can someone help me?
Any tips on this?
@thin wind swap Mirael for arden or Luca and put him center back
Tried with arden, Vedan just ult and clear my backline. Should i just retry until Arden snare him?
How do I beat this or am I too low for it? I have a Ascended Shermira 1star coming in a few days just waiting on the legendary plus food for her.
@dreamy peak I personally would go Lucuis shermira fawkes izold maybe Nimusa or Athalia
@arctic pendant
Belinda
Lucuis
Eiron
Saurus
Tasi
Who should carry out of those?
Belinda for now until your Saurus is higher ascension
Ok thanks
My team got deleted before one can ult lol
@timid sun id put your wukong and Mirael at the top two spots to kill Vedan as vast as possible
rough pls help
@spare cloud my lucius getting one shot
all i can say is lv up get better gear(do not level gear) etc other than playing with formation
@sick moss maybe try
eironn
tasi
lyca
rowan
ferael
if u got the heroes
is this a good lineup? I usually have izold frontline instead of rowan and I just got pippa so i just wanna know if shes good or not
got the heros, does not work
Heard Eirron is pretty good, based on the tier list at least, and was wondering who I should replace him for. Main team is: Rowan, Ainz, Thoran, Wu Kong, and Zaphrael
(Personally I feel Zaphareal should go but idk, and of course I would level him up if he is good)
B you need to not have so many characters leveled up
i think youre too early in the game for eiron to be verygood, youre fine just sticking with the wukong carry for now
Ok, thanks.
aye
Try ferael tasi eironn rowan lyca @sick moss
@sick moss do u need 29-60?
yea i do
sushi got it pretty much
yeah lyca tanks athalia
only took about 10-20 minutes of retrying so not bad at all
was looking at it wrong, that lineup gets shredded for me still, just spam retry?
pretty much
great
brutus + numisu rng means that on bad rng everything will die in 2 seconds
i had call on eironn oh my god
call on eironn is good
tasi eironn call, rowan chalice, lyca grace, fera eye @sick moss
I need some help with my line up you good Samaritans I have a second image incoming
toss ainz and put in tasi and overlevel daimon and just move things around
100 or 101 and then get daimon to 140
really
ye
gear wise should i put more gear on daimon then?
if hes ur carry yes
I just downloaded that and have some more insight now. So gonna start following that
should I leave Lucious at 120?
@mild geyser
i would just get daimon as high as possible first
okay so 140 currently as that the highest my ascension allows
Safiya or satrana ???
@candid hamlet ask in #classic-questions
@jaunty ledge now level other people
Figured that would be line up help but no problem.
#lineup-help would be more for help with a stage while #classic-questions is just for questions
Can I get help with 9-8 stage?
i just get my cheeks shredded right now
@stuck trellis @mild geyser got the rng finally, tyvm
on some of the more popular stages where people get stuck u can use discord search and look for some ss of winning formations
@sick moss grats on 30 
tytyty, aight will do
ye i got no idea how eironn comp works but i remembered that people usually sent ss of that stage
which ones do u have
how do i do this
call on daimon grace on tank and eye on secondary dps or someone who likes crit
What will be my best pvp team?
anyway to beat this with what I got?
Stuck, need ideas. My entire team just melts
@faint current Maybe take out Skreg and replace with am merc'd Tidus and swap the frontline position. Tidus is really good in many "4 Mauler" trial. And instead of Eironn, you can use Rowan
Tried that :/ I’ll try it again. That was my first idea
Vurk is nice too since at least 3 units invade your side of the field
Where should I put them? I know little about maulers :/
I put Safiya behind Tidus so that when he howls and makes enemies run away, Safiya can help him pick off enemies and get her to ult faster.
Trust me, I hate 4 mauler trials too. Took a lot of retries to do it.
+20 0/9, or +10 3/9? I got both Merced lmao
For Tidus, it doesn't matter. You just want his Howl since that delays the enemy Saf from recovering her energy while she kills your team.
Maybe the +20 one since he gets more reduced damage when he uses savagery
This?
Thanks! Still working on it but getting to one enemy left alive gives me hope.
Good luck. It took a lot of retries for me too.
Here I go
Oh man only ONE stage left now and I finished MV!
Orthros is just making this....awful
Oh yeah, that one's pretty tough too. (Understatement of the year) but hey, only one more 4 mauler left 👉😎👉
Yeah 🙂 thanks for your help! I’ll try diff things
Mauler 204
@pale kettle Rowan, Talene, Ferael, Eironn and Lyca in that order. Alternatively, swap Ferael with Safiya.
how should I beat this stage?
@faint current you could try a different carry, I used Ainz merc for it
all 5 of the most annoying enemies atm, the most annoying being niru and vedan, specifically niru in this one
Any tips? Silvina & Hypogean are destroying my backline so fast
Can anyone assist me with this level
@granite pier will need beefed up thoran to meet power req
i can give u my thoran 30 if u want but idk if it'll hit power req
also heres a non thoran option https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/609275505526439974/776723064007557180/IMG_1423.PNG
Im stuck here can someone help me they heal very hard and my athalia cant kill nemora
Any suggestions before my trial runs out? Just wanna try to get to 16-11 so I can start doing mythic gear trick etc..
https://gyazo.com/d7736554c6d13927fb37f5806a8011aa https://gyazo.com/67f7ebc5b31cd9f1418f01800ef586e0 Cant get past that level. Suggestions?
@silver harbor does your Lucius get melted front line?
Yeah p-much
@urban cobalt do you remember how you beat 10-36
@raw rune Brutus,Rowan Front, Cecilia,Belinda,Skirath back
i dont have 2 of those lol
Any advice?
try and bait silvina?
Tried, melts bait and carry behind
you have nara as well, use that on isabella, and put rosa behind or in front of mirael
@raw rune nara better for silvina no?
silvina moves so idk if it works on them?
Nara will keep her locked
Need a lineup, Im still in Chapter 8, also who to ascend with my wilders
oh ok, do that then
Nara grabs silvina but silvina melts nara
Fawks will help then I guess
you haven't got a carry atm @ivory parrot you need someone at least 20 levels higher than the rest, reset everyone but mirael or saveas and get them to 120
@whole briar don't have to worry about line up yet, also you don't have any fodder to acend anyone in Wilders. Dont make legendary if you can't make L+
Are you stuck on a stage?
@raw rune I used Brutus, Mireal, Lyca, Rosa and Rowan. Mireal on the front. If you don't have Brutus, try Diamon.
stuck on this last stage of chap 21, 2 days have past i think
hm... i only have daimon e
@raw rune can you post the stage, I can't seem to see past stages. Also your rooster.
Can I get help to make 3 teams for challenger tournament?
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/568025210498842633/776362303389302794/Screenshot_20201112-092258_AFK_Arena.jpg
@raw rune You just need to lvl up more.. And that is you best setup. I had all units at 120, and Mireal at 145 to complete it. Maybe If you had Brutus, it would be better.
(sorry for late reply.. I'm caught up with other things.)
no problem, thanks gonna be here a long while probably
Yes. It'll probably take 2-3 days for you at the least.
will give me time to get more ascensions maybe
what about King's Tower @urban cobalt where are you there
@raw rune kinda hard to defend honestly. you can beat people with significant power advantage over you on offense if you understand mechanics. Best is to make your comp as annoying as possible.
have a look at your replays.. i suspect the person is using cecelia to kill fawkes early to release his coffined unit early..
You can try tasi instead since she's harder to lockdown.
@raw rune If anything, he messed up his ascension. He need hard $ to progress normally. That's an example of what you shouldn't be building. Just ignore him.
anyone can help me out,
been stuck here for a few days,l
Ideas? And yes I know I made my Daimon L too early
@fallow remnant Tried Lyca instead of Nara and Rowan instead of Gwyn?
ah yeah i should do that @novel adder
@urban cobalt worked excellently bro thanks so much
the problem is that he beat me twice and a lost a huge amount of points @urban cobalt above 30,so it might happen again if don't change to tasi
Nvm after like 50 tries if the same loadout I finally beat it
and yeah you're right that cecilia killed fawkes straight away i did not notice that when i looked at the replay
ay nice soviet
also can you check what you did for Kings tower 133? @urban cobalt
@raw rune
I'm at 10-40 now lol, thanks, hm that actually seems doable then
Great, now I'm stuck because Mirael feels so special that she doesn't use her ult before she dies
rip, got the dura artifacts? if not get them
yep so use either call or grace either works (call is energy grâce is hp)
@raw rune That's a Shock! 
I'm kinda envious you got here with low level heroes.
fawkes is good lol you underestimate him
I have flawkes. but only at E
you also need to understand where to place stuff so, same lol he's on crystal
he's that useful
Maybe I'll try himm. Thanks.
no problem
YEET! Completed Ch10. Ok. It's probably because of flawks! @raw rune XD
How do i setup a gwyn lineup? my estrilda sucks pretty bad and gets one shotted
How to beat that
I hate tasi doing 1v9. Any idea?
I need a some help
Any solution for 31-56???
@novel adder can you help ive been asking for 4 days now
@stiff plaza Whats the outcome if you put Tasi on the front, bottom and Pippa on the bottom left
@tawny seal still lost
@stiff plaza I'm guessing it's mostly from Vedans ult right?
@stiff plaza Also does anyone on your team get off their ult
@stiff plaza You could try putting Nemora in one of the corners so she's not hit as much from the ult but she is kind of frail so I don't know if that would work entirely
I changed nemora whit twins and win whit tasi litterly on 1 hp
@stiff plaza Tasi is great at clutching matches because of her abilities until you fight her than you hate her until she clutches again for you
told you @urban cobalt now can you let me pass lol
@tawny seal try
Nemora
Lyca
Ferael
Rowan
Fawkes.
Trick is to coffin the Brutus. Charm the safiya to kill her own team. At least that was the simplest method to clear it long ago. But nemora is a forgotten entity to a lot of people haha. Have to adjust nemora's mspd with gear and call if needed
@novel adder I tried using Fawkes before and he goes for Lyca even though she's the lowest level and Ascended there
what do you think for this one @novel adder
@tawny seal you need to do some early damage onto the Brutus. His attack increases when lower health.
@novel adder yeah right now im kind of wishing I got the last 2 copies of lyca and Fawkes right now lol
I put Eironn instead of Rowan and i was able get everybody but Brutus who was low and Safiya who was low
@raw rune I don't think Lucius survives that. You should try mirael mid back. But kinda hard to predict..not sure who gets coffin. But you can try athalia onto the vedan or if you have a Brutus lying around just to hold the line for a bit
@tawny seal sounds doable with rng then
its hypogean mage on back left unfort, and no i dont have brutus ;;
@novel adder I just got another high roll with it being Ferael vs Brutus and Brutus invincibility knocked down
@novel adder Do you think I should change any of the artifacts
Whats the best lineup i can make for ch16?
@novel adder Ferael and Safiya killed each other at the same time so I won
Any suggestions? I've been stuck for a couple of days
should you not be getting mythic by that point?
I was told to wait until I was level capped
Idk tbh. It was a while back, but I'm assuming they meant until my carry hits 160, and the rest of my heroes 140
oh... yeah that makes sense you need 140 to get past 160, yeah do that first
currently I'm on 140 getting rest to 120 in 10-40 p sure i need the levels
Well thank you for helping me indirectly @raw rune. I just used a full lightbearer team against 11-20, and I beat it. Which is amusing considering I've been stuck on this stage for a couple days now
I took inspiration from your team :p
Also welcome to the hero exp cap @raw rune. :))
this stage is fucked up
Tried tasi n every other wilder combo
Eironn top bottom
Rowan top bottom mid..etc
💀nothin workin sheesh , even tho im like overleveled a bit
you're welcome i guess lol @vivid harbor and yeah when mirael rosa works it works, especially with fawkes
Should I legendary my rosalinda? It’ll be my first one. Or should I wait for a carry?
Don't ascend a hero to legendary, if you can't ascend them to Legendary+ immediately
Got it!
@raw rune is fawkes any good at Elite?
But do I wait for a carry first or would rosalinda be a good choice for first legendary+
yep still has tonnes of use, although the power at ch11 is probably a lot stronger so idk if he will be able to keep up there, (although you'll definitely have better armor so...), but yeah obviously make sure on crystal and not on team since you can't get past 100 otherwise was referring to what you asked btw @vivid harbor
@valid hamlet go to the pins in the #classic-questions channel. It has a beginners guide that also references ascensions. Usually you want to ascend fodder heroes to L+ (Fodder = blue cards/rare heroes)
or legendary tier in portraits in heroes
Please help. I need to pass the world 31. Im a lot of time here
Hey is there a chance to get 100Mio Boss Dmg in the Event with a Ranger Team without Drez?
I have no drez Lucretia Athalia on Elite+
any ideas how to beat this? verdan one shoting my team with ult
@timid sun do you have extra slots to put units in the crystal
yes have 3 more slots
@timid sun Eironn is a really good unit who could help you
@timid sun also put talene
on lvl 83 are good?
talene is always good
well except before 61 that when she start healing when taking dmg
I'm 10-40 now @rigid birch prob gonna be here a while
damn you progressing fast ma man
hehe rosa mirael is godly
@timid sun I would try Eironn on top left Rowan back middle and Mirael bottom left
yeah she was my carry through everything below level 160, mirael is the goat
i wish lilith could make her ascended ;-;
Seveas is also a really good unit for beginners. But sadly most maulers suck
vedan and 2 hypogean mages as well as hypogean elite with isabella make it really really hard to kill them, honestly not even sure levels will be enough, waiting for brutus might be inevitable.
Yea she would be great a tier @rigid birch
if you have 2 hypo mages in a stage maybe fawkes can coffin one and nara can grapple the other, that was my solution to these stages early game
can you show me your resonating crystal?
you could possibly have put a useless hero in there
@compact breach Try these
Ro1: Eironn, Tasi, Lyca, Safiya and Ezizh
Ro2: Rowan, Daimon, Ferael, Gwyn and Nara
thats a real solid crystal
mehira can sometimes be interesting 
yea lol a lot of trial and error payed off
@tawny seal like this?
hypogean bonus is always nice but it's never enough on its own unless mehira can do work as well
eironn got one shot
@timid sun I was thinking Mirael bottom left Eironn top left and lucius bottom right
tasi and lyca definitely feel too weak atm though, they are suffering unlike fawkes, definitely need that e+ boost, so does lucius actually
its kinda awkward having mehira rowan and mirael on the same team, they all need center back
I've never had mehira centre back wtf lol
@timid sun
Lyca
---->Rowan
Eironn
---->Talene
Numisu
@raw rune
wym she needs center back for her charm
eh I've never needed it
not in the centre anyway the charm has definitely helped though
They don’t NEED center back, either one. Both are often used in different spots. They just hit more targets that way
who is lyca
wilder support that gives haste and has defense break
you can get a lyca mercenary
@timid sun bunny girl on deer
i dont have her
apart from that she's too squishy same with tasi, they really need to get the elite+ boost, idk why fawkes is still managing lol
merc her otherwise eironn cant pull spider lady and vedan in the middle
@raw rune Fawkes has naturally high dodge and he slows down single targets
Maybe consider not using Eironn until he gets mythic gear
true
@raw rune Tasi teleports to the enemy side which basically means walking to her inevitable death
Mehira sacrifices her HP at the start of the battle so a silvina can destroy her
Fawkes stays backline and has a faction advantage with the rest of your team maybe, hes a ranger so he can dodge
tbh, tasi is dying before she teleports atm lmao
Mehira sacrifices HP for bats, giving survivability
where i can get lyca
not before silvina attacks her
if mehira gets to her ult its good times tho
@timid sun you can get lyca from a chapter reward, untill then you can just merc one or pull her from a summon randomly(if you have her on the wishlist, which you should)
atm that's not much the power is generally too much
so there's no way i can deal with this until i level up a lot or get nara?
you can try for rng
once mirael ults you're good
rng is really not in my favour, really not... vedan is so strong if he gets ult off its basically game
oh wait u have athalia
Thats good you can take care of both hypo mages
yes?
athalia does the same thing as nara basically
Has Arden been tried instead of Fawkes?
when i cant get lyca atm,how im supposed beat this
hypo mages interrupt arden i think
"take care" arden dies instantly and that
Oof
since they hit the whole battlefield
i think you just put athalia on one and let fawkes coffin the 2nd
Im thinking of rowan tanking isabella, because his immunity refreshes once isa attacks rowan, a slow pattern
you dont need damage from athalia, just the cc
all damage comes from mirael
^ honestly until 240, only your carry is doing any damage
everyone dies before she does it
you can maybe try mirael vs vedan and brutus vs hypogean elite
rosa out
rowan dies quickly rosa dies quickly fawkes dies eventually, bruh... i dont have brutus ;; that's the 3rd person who's told me
k so maybe try this
Fawkes
---->Lucius
Rowan
---->Mirael
Athalia
my whole team get one shot when vedan use his ult ...
Fawkes
---->Rowan
Arden
---->Mireal
Athalia @raw rune
idk maybe
Give it a couple retries Arden can be a bit RNG with his roots (who he targets)
i think i had this stage's replay saved but it was like 3 months ago, ill try to search for it
@timid sun See if eironn pulls in vedan and ankhira without lyca, if not put call on eironn, if he dies too fast reset mirael for this one and level eironn to 120
hm... mirael seems to just miss the ult when he ults
call on mirael
or eye whichever performs better
yes call is already on unfort I'll try eye
change something?
swap eironn and nemora
ok that's even less close with eye
doing worse than before
do vedan and ankhira get pulled in?
he was supposed to either give haste to eironn or put a totem to taunt all of them
can you try recording a replay of what happens?
dang... i got the ult in @rigid birch but vedan lived
@raw rune did it crit?
mirael critting should wipe out vedan
can't remember
did it show a red damage number?
oh i still have the battle open, can show damage
and was written as "K" not normal numbers
i turned numbers off
it gets so laggy sometimes
@timid sun you have call on eironn?
the artifact
what is call
i mean... i killed vedan but
@raw rune thats as close as you can get imo, keep retrying and you should get the stage
@rigid birch what you mean " call" ?
i edited the message
the artifact you get from peaks of time 3
Stuck
i have only this
then theres no other way than getting a lyca merc @timid sun
@vast meadow who does silvina go after?
but i dont have her 😦
@rigid birch rowan
@timid sun then get a lyca mercenary from one of your friends
@vast meadow
Ferael
---->Tasi
Lyca
---->Rowan
Eironn
If niru doesnt walk down, then swap tasi and lyca
i have only this
@timid sun same
@rigid birch how?m
Go to campaign -> Friends -> Mercenaries -> Click on a lyca and then lend
and that 
The lender must give permission too🤣

Rip
wanna add me? i have a good lyca merc
@timid sun
11-38 finally beaten. Perhaps this will help someone else struggling here
11-38 finally beaten. Perhaps this will help someone else struggling here
@random hornet congrats
wanna add me? i have a good lyca merc
@timid sun
@rigid birch ye sure
Wait what...Hogan?
@ancient axle Yes Hogan. First 5 units you ascend and level should be Mirael/Hogan/Saveas/Silvina/Arden
Aside from Wukong 1-100 (big god)
Oh I see
@rigid birch Thanks. Adding ferael lyca didnt work because silvina targeted ains but putting the ains in frontline worked with rng in this situation.
gz
You wanna use resonating crystal to copy their levels and try out other heroes, go ahead. But those 5 are the ones you level and ascend first.
Can’t get passed 8-20 who’s should I reset and replace
nah arden really sucks in this matchup @rigid birch i either need brutus or a good tank, this seems like the better setup with fawkes probably on back right to slow vedan's ult down but with lyca being someone who can actually tank unlike lucius at elite
maybe a mirael double ult can get the dub
rosa dies everytime
but yeah it would definitely be enough
not even bad armor either
have to pray i either get e+ lucius, a brutus, or e+ rosa
because i dont see any other way of beating this
maybe lv120 everything would be enough but that will take a few days
@rigid birch
nemora is useless here lol take her out for fawkes or rosa
i dont have fawkes and rosa
send a screenshot of your heroes
okay i changed nemora for wukong and won
can someone help me with 15-40? I hit a wall...
how do i stop this happening on my defense (as in where I'm not choosing who to battle) ? i changed fawkes for tasi because i lost to eironn twice to the same person @rigid birch
they have a higher crystal level + tasi banishes mirael, maybe try athalia on tasi and see if mirael can get to an ult before tasi sleeps/banishes her
if i do athalia then i don't get rid of opposing prob not worth it
maybe i should just go back to fawkes and accept that I'll lose to eironn
losing 31 points sucked though trying to get to 1800 for the quest, before the losses i was 1758 now I'm 1717...
@raw rune you can try banishing shemira with fawkes and tasi with athalia belinda is squishy so your mirael can easily wipe out the enemy
this isn't matchup specific this is in general losing to teams like this, this is arena of heroes where the "formation" is being used,i cant know what the opponent is gonna have i can only plan for stuff
and removing one of their roles will probably make me lose even more so I'll just go back to fawkes for now
you cant always win
there is always gonna be a counter to your comp
the goal is to make a comp hard to counter
yea fawkes did that for me p sure, except eironn
11-40 done after 35 retries
what about this one, is it another case of needing brutus?
Help pls, been stuck on this stage for days
@raw rune mehira out she's useless here, put mirael up front with rosa under her and rowan at mid with lucius behind rosa and fawkes behind mirael
@marsh nymph
Shemira
---->Lyca
Rowan
---->Talene
lucius
Any ideas on this? Doing maulers tower
Hardstuck here for 5 days any help?
@wispy galleon Numu isn't that good so replace him with safiya
Unfortunately I'm thinking it's a busy for now. Im hardstuck at level 160
golus out for satrana and give her your best intelligence gear
@wispy galleon
Any ideas here, I hate Mehira so much lol
nara that mehira, eironn vs ezizh, lyca vs nara and rowan tasi
Nara
---->Rowan
Tasi
---->Eironn
Lyca
Try swapping out tasi for safiya or ferael and see who performs best
@rigid birch
gz
rosa wasn't doing anything so i thought I'd try athalia and it worked great on mirael
thats why u adjust formations for each stage
hmm i wanted to be stubborn and not use Nara merc but it seems to be the only way huh
nara screws up mehira
no shame in using a mercenary nara
Finished it, thanks alot!
gz
Lucius and Belinda die too quickly
I have an E Rowan but that doesn't seem to help much
take raine out and put in rowan, center middle
Rowan doesnt need to live for him to heal
Hey guys please for some advice been getting creamed here. Switched up heroes but nothing worked
this formation should work but that goddamn ferael sneaks in a fear and breaks the chain arrows
@stuck trellis hey pippi, do you think I can try using ur thoran 30? I have none that meet power req rn 😦
Any help?
any thoughts on formation? wanted to here some ideas and make sure i am utilizing the best formation i can
@granite pier yeah sure
you couldnt use the non thorna one?
hey! any ideas for a formation? kind of a newbie so yeah :P
I really want to beat this
perhaps take out mirael for lucius?
Best mauler(s) to ascend to stop sucking at tower? Low on fodder but got enough copies for numisu, khasos, skriath and anoki
but you could also replace arden with rowan but idk
hey guys, I was wondering if I kinda messed up for a general team to use during campaign? I'm mostly using Lucius/Wu Kong/Rowan/Belinda/Lucretia but I kind of took out Lucretia for the graveborn archer
Stage 28-40
Safi ulfs and does a lot of damage, Brutus and Vurk are kinda annoying and Lucius heals when someone is almost dead
Just got the game, was wondering who I should have on my team
@vapid hazel read this it outlines what u shouldnt do and a 1-160 guide https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/565578751715573770/774355833139625994/image0.jpg
okay thank you
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/284309467674443776/776897410633957426/image0.png
29-60
Hardstuck on this stage for a while, and I really wanna get to ch 30 already, basically I get deleted pretty fast and athalia casts in around 8 seconds :|
I can merc any hero needed, so if anyone has ideas
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/284309467674443776/776897411963420713/image1.png
@mild geyser i am missing one of the supports, who can i use to replace them?
just use wukong for now
@compact breach Try these
Ro1: Eironn, Tasi, Lyca, Safiya and Ezizh
Ro2: Rowan, Daimon, Ferael, Gwyn and Nara
@pale kettle
Thanks for answering, I just saw it. I am going to try
Any ideas? Basically daimon carry with Tasi, eironn may be alive and doing well till athalia ults and its gg
try swaping lyca and eironn and try to have lyca dodge her
@mild geyser could you also help me please?
Thanks. And @exotic jay you have anyone who can cc Arden?
Also don’t ascend shemira now. You have Belinda so just gonna save you in the future
dont make so many L heroes
yea i found that out a couple days ago lol
try nemora + lyca and see if nemora charms arden and has him root his team
then have belinda ult on kaz while shes rooted
ok so nemora lucius, belinda, lyca, rosa?
no rosa use rowan. Personally rosa died too fast for me but it may be different for you
oh yea sorry rowan
there are usually two routes with belinda, cc them and have belinda ult on them lots or have belinda double ult with rosa. I was a fan of the former
ok thanks ill try those our, and ur comp worked thanks!
I had same issue with Rosaline
the only time i ever used rosa was to bait silvina onto her instead of rowan but now i just sack rowan
i really don't know how to beat this
@raw rune if fawkes banishes vedan then you can try
Fawkes
----->Lucius
Mirael
----->Rowan
Rosaline
maybe brutus would make it possible but rn i dont have them, and no they do the back left hypo
have you used this weeks mercenary?
yeah a while ago, i wouldn't have hesitated to use it earlier if i had it
wait actually
does lyca enable arden to root
i think i tried that but I'll try again what position
Fawkes
---->Arden
Lyca
---->Mirael
athalia
swap lyca and arden if arden gets interrupted
also maybe rosa in for athalia if arden can outspeed the mages, put on arden your best intelligence boots(yes strip mirael)
looks like the hypo mages are faster
well... arden dies in like 2 and a bit hits
try
Fawkes
---->Rowan
Mirael
---->Rosaline
athalia
this is the winning formation no doubts
of course fawkes coffins one hypo mage, the other is cc'd by athalia
the problem with most of them is that vedan gets off his ult before anything happens, since 2 hypos give them +25% energy recovery when injured which really doesn't help
and i have literally no way to beat his ult
I'll show the damage one sec
isabella dying for once is funny though
keep retrying untill mirael beats vedan to her ult first
I need help guys please
send heroes
can anyone loan me a high level mercenary? Can't beat this peak of time far frontier
- please auto ascend in the temple of ascension, it will save alot of space
Lyca
---->Lucius
Rowan
---->Shemira
Nemora
if nemora charms grezhul before the hypo mages attack her then you should be good
tried over 20 times at least @rigid birch , also changed positions and artifacts a few times, none of them were narrow, only time they were narrow and sometimes happened Was when fawkes was back right
since fawkes slows vedan down
I tried that actually but both of them die 1 s to the battle ,😫 will try again.though.... but does auto ascend mess up my feeher heroes? I have never used that function I thought it will ascend the heroes that I dont want to and waste my feeder?
Hello i was told to come here to ask myy questions im at the point where my characters are all level 100 (having a hard time ascending them higher) and my charactes are dying a little to fast or i feel like they dont really..work at this level any more
@raw rune fawkes banishes vedan or hypo mage?
hmm
i think i won with
Fawkes
---->Lucius
Rowan
---->Mirael
Arden
if i recall correctly
that was 5 months ago dont judge me
huh
lucius was high level then?
or e+ since mine is only e
because my lucius just drops
i think
Lucius was like legendary or smth
oh lol
that makes more sense then, probably actually classifies as a tank at that point
Helo me end this pain
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/565578751715573770/776937421047726140/image0.png im having a bittt of a hard time atm was wondering if i need to replace anyone
stop levelling more than 5 characters @sharp notch ,reset the other 5,put them in the crystal if you must
the others have been those levels for a while
either way reset them
its the top 5 that im using mostly atm but i seem to be struggling to do anything lol
im also not sure if theres like...a meta lineup or not
First off reset those and zaphrael and then level saveas to lv80 and then level shemira as high as possible
you won't get anywhere if you don't reset
well im glad i get to keep shemira she seems to be doing the best outa everyone lol
only reason I'm saying that is because you have them legendary ,they're not actually good yet
best would be saveas or mirael after ascensions until lv160, and then after lv160 shemira should be replaced with someone else if possible so
im still learnning how the game works mostly but im under thhe impression id be uusing the crystal to use different characterrs
yes, even more reason to reset those 5
why all 5?
because you don't need levels on things you're never gonna use
they are way too low level
just gonna hinder how high you can get your top 5
dont reset all 5 attm i take though
what
you where talkin about reseting all 5 i take i wouldnt do that right now
yes do it now
.> then id have no characters at a high level to do..anything
i dont mean the top 5 i mean the others that you have levelled for no reason
oooooh confused me m bad
and reset zaphrael as well
already did zaph i def wana keep lucios and nemora iv been reading they get good later on
nemora is much much later on, you can always put them on crystal, same with lucius, your priority should be fodder heroes outside of crystal
can't change your carry right now really but, adding hogan and ogi to your team will definitely help (both are fodder heroes)
not to make this harder bt i am a tad confused im not sure who or what is a fodder hero i guess id levell up my legendary and slap people into the crystal around her?
meaning they are much easier to ascend to get your crystal higher, where you can put the ascended tiers like shemira (but obviously you want shemira to stay levelled)
if you go to heroes and then portraits, go to legendary tier. all of those heroes are fodder tier
those are heroos id put in the crystall?
nope, other way around
since fodder tier heroes are more common, it means you can ascend them quicker, giving you higher levels on the crystal
the crystal takes the 5th highest level on your team and gives everything in there that level regardless of their ascension
so i shoulld be ascending those i get from the pulls alot?
only fodder tiers
also i cant seem to level up shemira any more and kinda confused
show me your heroes again please
can you check how many available spaces you have in crystal?
iv got 5 atm
oh cool
iv been trying to unlock more i figured i was gonna need to do tthat i justt didnt unnderstand what to do (also sorry for typs keybored is kinda fucked)
definitely hogan, arden and ankhira should be added to the team
so I'd say reset belinda and lucius for now, and also reset nemora, then level up ankhira, hogan, nemora, arden all to lv80
They keep there ascended levels yea?
yes
So they goal is to put fodder hero’s on the crystal and save the rest for later?
no, put fodder heroes on team, and put other useful heroes on crystal
once you've gotten them to lv80 I'll think about the ones you should get on crystal
I could get everyone you listed to 80 in a moment
Reset everyone that’s not my legendary?
yep, and then add back the 4 i said at lv80
give me a moment
do i just cheese this?
m elite + hogan or just my normal blue hogan?
the highest possible on each
igh soo jsut max out hogan dont stop at 80?
just used the merc
no i meant ascension tier not level get them all to lv80 for now
my own daimon is getting ascended next month given i get enough fodder
i hate skreg with a passion
okay i cant ascend the rest any more atm so 80 them it is
i was just meaning the highest one you have of those heroes
nah ogi isn't that good arden has way more use
so from what i can see, now put saurus, khasos, lucius and izold not sure about belinda yet
on the crystal i mean
okay
screenshot the crystal screen when you are done
yep that looks good, so now you can level up shemira more probably
im doing a bnnch of labyrinth tryiing to get arthur to but idk if ill make it looll
aiming for dimensional heroes is more useful, dont buy him yet
shoould i juust throw as many levels as i can into her?
for now yes
got her to 120
nice, so you'll need to get the other 4 to lv100 to level up more
might nont be able to do othem all atm
yea i cannt so i guess get them to 100 annd pump more levels into legendary?
yeah that's the idea, even if shemira may not be as reliable as you think right now, but it will probably be good for a bit, since you already have them legendary which gives her a lot of increased stats
all right ill work oon that and thenn come knockin back later\
allso what are dimensional heros cause im not quiet used to alll that xD
Arthur is a dimensional hero, but you'll want to get albedo or ainz by exchanging labyrinth coins, guild coins, hero coins and challenger coins
also should i put gear on these crystaled hero's to or just the fodder team?
oh iv got a bit of a thing foor whattever reasoon if i use ainz my phone dosent like it lol
depends if you're using them, if you're not using them it doesn't matter
Well yes, so you can put armor on all of them
ah
but it's not required totally up to you
you've not joined a guild?
ok join one of the ones being advertised in #guilds that look good, they don't have to accept you you just join
okay ill look innto it
any other non-lineup related questions you should ask in #classic-questions btw @sharp notch there's a lot of people there to help
i can tell i just started playin this like a month ago so iv not joined up herre till last night
just saying
OH actually yea line up still who would i putt infront annd back? i take melee in front unless they have a teleport?
carry and tank should generally go in front (shemira and hogan) and then the support at back
