As you progress you want to aim for at least 3 heroes consisting of at least 2 archetypes per element

  • titania fire, you want 2 skills you wont have to reroll for a while since theres a significant chance of having to reroll s3-4
  • yzbel fire, same reason as titania
  • eddard and marmaduke check s3
  • calil fire, ranger is a defensive class
  • juliano check s3-4
  • sonya check s4
  • tammara check s3-4
  • julian fire, no weapon skill or attack
  • gareth fire later, even without knowing s4 you would have to reroll s1 and s2
  • katya check s4
  • cheryl check s3-4, great start
  • teela is in an odd spot, you dont have any attack but they can use double weapon skills so you could promote and get an attack skill in s3 or s4
  • Giralt reroll s2 to attack/weapon/crit skill
  • ok fire, no weapon skill or attack and s3 is pretty weak for spellcasters since they dont gain much from evasion
  • sarah check s4
sick fern
#

Ok

#

What is archetype?

west knoll
#

archetypes are fighters(reds)/rogues(greens)/spellcasters(blues)

sick fern
#

keep or retire

sick fern
#

hello

soft idol
#

Keep, that set is great!

#

Some HP and attack from S1, Def + evasion on S2, and more evasion on S3

sick fern
#

do i ascend her?

#

or what is it called

#

promote

soft idol
#

Hmm, tough call to make but I think maybe no? Since you need as many mission critical tools in S1 and S2

#

Mages are one of the classes that can run stacked weapon skills, but I don't know if that's better than having a bonus attack skill

#

I'd wait for Archon to comment on this

tawdry oracle
#

attack % is really easy to get at least, and you only habe one other hero i’d consider promoting so i’d go for it here

#

oh i see archon is voting no

sick fern
#

for it to be better

soft idol
#

I won't

#

Not until very later down the road

#

That knight is great and has very low promotion priority and low reroll priority

sick fern
soft idol
#

I'd fire this one

soft idol
soft idol
sick fern
#

yes

#

i wasnt sure just to fire now or later

soft idol
#

Jpak's comment had both fire (titania, yzbel, calil, julian, ok) and fire later (gareth)

#

But don't fire more than 2 at a time 😬

sick fern
#

im doing 3 at a tiime

soft idol
#

3 is fine

#

I recommend two so you can fit them in one team + one carry + one champion

#

Three would require you to send two teams instead

#

But it's not a problem!

sick fern
#

yah my roster is kinda crippled anyways

#

very bad skills

#

so

#

;-;

#

dont really make a diff

cyan spoke
#

It's not bad in my opinion, have seen way worse rosters from people of a higher level. You are doing good

#

And it keeps improving

sick fern
#

hows that possible the fact i cant do the deep coral

#

easy level

#

how do higher lvl players deal with that

soft idol
#

Skills isn't everything, your equipment makes up as much if not more impact than skills

cyan spoke
#

Gear, enchantments, hero levels

soft idol
#

Especially spirits and enchants

cyan spoke
#

Skills don't do much without elements

#

To level them

sick fern
cyan spoke
#

Needs HP badly

#

Actually, probably fine

soft idol
#

Ehh seems fine?

sick fern
#

how do i give hp

cyan spoke
#

Yeah, my bad

soft idol
#

I think you're judging for jungle standards hahaha

#

Idk if this is a good amount for sunken temple though

cyan spoke
#

Ignore my comment, I'm not used to looking at low level Heroes

#

Yuki is doing a way better job

soft idol
#

And your problem might be your dps heroes

#

You can have the tankiest and strongest tank in the world, but if you aren't doing enough damage to kill the enemy

cyan spoke
#

Yeah this hero is great. Ignore Star power

soft idol
#

You'll end up losing regardless

cyan spoke
#

Knight usually have like 1/3 star power of other heroes

soft idol
cyan spoke
#

Good ones

soft idol
#

I genuinely have no idea if that's a good amount of hp/def for temple and I'm in my bed rn

#

I'm NOT using the sim on my phone

sick fern
#

if an item has water afiinity

#

should i enchant it with fire

#

does it have any effect

#

or nullify?

cyan spoke
#

Enchant it with the Heroes element, mostly ignore affinities unless it's a spellblade

sick fern
#

sorcerer?

cyan spoke
#

Sorcerer is not spellblade, so enchant it with sorcerer element

#

Which is dark

soft idol
#

The affinity only buffs the one it has affinity for, it won't nerf other elements

#

Always enchant with the hero's innate element unless it's a spellblade or geomancer

sick fern
soft idol
#

But even for geomancer's I recommend just going for water element rather than the item's innate element

soft idol
cyan spoke
#

I would like to have that one

#

I will trade you mine for it

cyan spoke
#

Soul that one

sick fern
#

oki

soft idol
#

If you have Roland, S4 into adept is the easy button here

#

You have over 350% bonus attack I think

cyan spoke
#

All natural might be better

sick fern
#

no roland

#

;-;

#

f2p

soft idol
soft idol
cyan spoke
#

All good you have many good options for S4

sick fern
#

whats RNGESUS

#

how to soul?

#

;-;

soft idol
# sick fern how to soul?

You need a titan soul for that which you can obtain from tower of titans event (Happens once a month)

sick fern
#

nvm found it

soft idol
#

To soul, click on the + icon next to their name

sick fern
#

hehe

soft idol
#

He'll be doing a LOT of heavy lifting

#

Give him some good gear later on and he will carry

sick fern
#

thanks

#

i hame to make my roster list

#

do u guys have the link

soft idol
sick fern
#

any good?

cyan spoke
#

Yeah i have a impervious dancer its good

#

S3 useless right now, could single dice it for anything else if you have dice

sick fern
#

ok

#

let medoit

#

which ones would be the best

#

u reckon

cyan spoke
#

Anything. Just one dice

sick fern
cyan spoke
#

Great

sick fern
#

what archetype do i recruit

cyan spoke
#

Fire

#

Berserker or muskateer

#

Your choice

sick fern
#

1

#

no need to fire

#

i just fired one

cyan spoke
#

Fire hero

sick fern
#

oh

cyan spoke
#

Element fire

sick fern
cyan spoke
#

Actually, I missed that you have no earth heroes

#

I like a druid here

sick fern
#

what does 2 star skill mean

#

druids cant have the gold skills?

sick fern
#

are is druid just fine im sorry for contradicting

#

im jus a bit confysed

#

;-;

outer latch
soft idol
soft idol
soft idol
soft idol
#

An archdruid can still do significant damage (Less than either warlock/astramancer) but makes up for it by having a much higher staying power

#

This allows them to stay in fights where a warlock/astramancer would have already died, letting them having a much higher average damage per quest than warlocks/astramancers

outer latch
#

Thx

sick fern
soft idol
#

Amazing start and check S3

#

You need a weapon skill but that can go in S3

sick fern
#

ok

sick fern
#

which one do i take

#

i think comabat told me some time back but i forgot

#

;-;

#

sorry

soft idol
#

Look at the numbers for the order

sick fern
#

combat said not to take the 8th one

soft idol
#

8th one?

sick fern
#

the one marked in the picture

#

OH

#

SORRY

#

SORRY

soft idol
#

I'm confused 😅

sick fern
#

he said not to take the treasure hunter 3rd one

#

sorry

soft idol
#

No problem at all haha

cyan spoke
#

Imagine not putting a point in double soul stYetiLook

soft idol
#

I don't

#

I only do it right before I start titan

cyan spoke
#

Ehh

soft idol
#

Then reset afterwards for 50 gems

#

99% of the time, that talent is doing nothing 😛

cyan spoke
#

Yeah but I'm not made of gems

soft idol
#

But the for the remaining 1%, it is the best talent in the game if your roster isn't done yet

soft idol
#

Or I could just level up right before ToT and use that talent point for the soul

#

Doing that will let me only spend 50 gems

cyan spoke
#

True

sick fern
#

how do i get 3rd skill die

cyan spoke
#

Fusion (full moon) or tower

#

Or.. some content passes, shop offers

#

But mostly: tower

#

Later

#

S3 is hard to roll

sick fern
soft idol
#

Tower depends on which one you do, different tower difficulties give different skill die variations

sick fern
#

i need a marksman or adpt on one

#

he doesnt have it

#

and i ran out

sick fern
#

my guild does extreme

soft idol
sick fern
#

ooh

#

i do beta

soft idol
#

You pick your difficulty

#

You need to do Gamma for S3 die

#

Delta, Epsilon, and Terror all give S4 die

sick fern
#

which level tho

#

does it have die

#

if i just build one good squad would the be able to co plete it?

soft idol
#

I forgot if the lower towers have elemental barriers for tower

sick fern
soft idol
#

Assuming they do, then it's not possible to clear with just one team

soft idol
#

There are 30 floors and you want to complete all 30 floors

#

6 difficulties for tower and each difficulty gives different versions

sick fern
#

lower towers dont have element

#

i do delta but i also had bad heroes

soft idol
#

Alpha = Skill 1
Beta = Skill 2
Gamma = Skill 3
Delta, Epsilon, Terror = Skill 4

sick fern
#

to this point im trying to make a good roster

soft idol
sick fern
#

no sorry beta

soft idol
#

But it will be slower than if you had multiple teams since you'll need to wait for that team to finish resting

sick fern
#

wow im really brain fogged

#

does gamma have element bariier?

soft idol
#

I skipped gamma so I don't know hahaha

sick fern
#

woah

#

maintaining the hero equipent is gonna be a headache too

#

how did you skip gamma tho

soft idol
#

Well, my first month I started playing I did tower on Beta when I was ML47 or so

#

2nd month I was ML67 and my team could do terror (The face shown was a stFaceHappy) but I was scared, so I went for epsilon

#

Then the last tot that was recent, I did terror and finally cleared it

sick fern
soft idol
sick fern
#

dam u reached 67 in just 2 months

#

ur roster must be crazy good

soft idol
sick fern
#

i always keep running out of this

#

things

#

as f2p tho

cyan spoke
#

The only tip for not running out of dice: don't use the dice

sick fern
#

keep or retire

soft idol
#

Keep

sick fern
soft idol
#

Check S4

sick fern
#

is s4 any good?

soft idol
#

No, it isn't

#

One purely defensive skill is great, but two of them is too much

#

Not to mention that it isn't a good skill in general since even Sturdy (Common health skill) provides more utility than that skill

#

Would suggest rerolling it to any weapon/crit skill

#

S1 + S2 puts you at 430% bonus attack which means that you benefit from having a weapon skill in S4

sick fern
#

Ok

#

Gosh how do I get s4 dies

soft idol
#

You get them through Tower of Titans

sick fern
soft idol
#

Check S4

#

That's a great set

#

You have CHC on S1, great bonus attack on S2, and the best weapon type skill in S3

#

No matter what you get in S4, this will be a good hero that can help you clear all content

sick fern
#

Ok

sick fern
#

what do i recruit

#

retired calil

soft idol
#

Hire a druid now, look for a weapon skill + bonus attack skill

#

The next hero to fire is

"ok"

#

After you fired "ok", hire another druid to have 2 druids

sick fern
#

i already have 1

tawdry oracle
#

i do not see a druid on your roster

sick fern
#

Yes

#

I did something wrong

#

I'm rechecking rn

#

im sorry if i had tag on i didnt know about thta didnt wanna annoy any of you

soft idol
#

That druid is strong but has a major problem, he doesn't have a weapon skill

#

Hire a druid and a wanderer (After you fire ok)

soft idol
#

Are you able to fuse any? It's currently the full moon

#

So you should have access to full moon fusion

soft idol
#

Oh, that's unfortunate :(

#

Well, the good news is that tower of titans is coming after this current event

#

And you will have skill die in there as rewards

soft idol
#

You'll want to use those to get any weapon skill for your druid

#

That's your highest priority

#

The titan soul should be used on your Sorcerer

sick fern
#

ok

soft idol
#

We could say the mage as well, since they need the titan soul to function

sick fern
#

giralt has a soul

soft idol
#

Oh, you should probably update Giralt to a warlock then! The soul should be used on teela/malik then

#

The next hero to fire is "ok" followed by "Gareth"

sick fern
soft idol
#

I see

sick fern
#

one more soul left

soft idol
#

Once you get a weapon skill on your druid, use a single die on S4 for Giralt

#

Though, it isn't that important

soft idol
#

Since the first three skills will carry you already

sick fern
#

nice

#

keep or retire

#

should i aim for 2 gold skill

soft idol
#

Keep

#

Do not go for 2 gold skills

sick fern
#

and do i souls teela now

sick fern
soft idol
#

Well, teela does need the soul to function but I don't like promoting T1/T2 classes, especially without Roland/Mundra

sick fern
#

ok

soft idol
# sick fern why?

It's a waste of resources and you will end up firing heroes like Abigail, which are really strong

#

You have the best hybrid attack skill for a druid alongside the best weapon type weapon skill

sick fern
#

is she a retire then ...

soft idol
#

No matter what you get in S3, this Druid will put in a lot of work

soft idol
#

The first two skills are great, and that hero can go far if you promote

#

It's your choice to make!

sick fern
#

nice

#

thanks man

#

keeping

soft idol
sick fern
#

do i fire ok rn?

sick fern
soft idol
sick fern
#

its just a aphrase i ...many others use to refer to their peers irresepective of their gender

#

no offense ofc

sick fern
soft idol
soft idol
#

I won't fire "ok" just yet

#

A lot of your heroes are quite underlevelled

#

Marmaduke, Amelda, Ann, Cheryl, and now Abigail

sick fern
#

ye

soft idol
#

You'll want them levelled up further before you do anymore rehiring!

sick fern
#

so i double enchent then right

soft idol
#

And since you've decided to keep teela, you should promote them now

sick fern
#

its good to go for now?

sick fern
#

what do u think is the best

soft idol
#

So I thought you'd keep Teela

sick fern
#

i can rehire hire as many times

sick fern
#

xd

#

meant*

soft idol
#

Nothing that can't be fixed with die and enough time!

#

I don't see any major reasons not to promote + keep teela

sick fern
soft idol
#

But I also don't see any major reasons to keep teela either apart from the fact that they can use double weapon skills 😬

sick fern
#

ok i wont keep her

soft idol
#

I guess the biggest downside for me, is that Mages are a free class

#

And you can literally reroll until you get Adept + Doublecast/Impervious

#

Not that rerolling for two gold skills is a good idea... but if you have the time to sit for hours and continuously reroll, you could eventually get the one that you want to keep

sick fern
#

i see

soft idol
#

But yeah! It's getting quite late for me (1.40am) but I can stay for a few more questions if you do have them

sick fern
#

nono no more question

#

s

#

gotta save some for tmrw

soft idol
#

Okii I'll head off now! Feel free to @ me if you ever have questions :D

#

Gnight!

sick fern
#

yessir

sick fern
#

should i do this?

#

or this

soft idol
#

Gamma

sick fern
#

new hero slot what do i recruit

sick fern
#

;-;

obtuse trail
#

You only have one Fire and two Earth heroes. Aim to have three heroes per element, so go Fire since that's your lower one. Berserkers are really forgiving to build so go with one of those.

sick fern
#

ok

#

thnx

#

i was thinking of retiring sarah and juilano for a cleric and ranger would that be a decent choice

obtuse trail
#

Check slot 4 on Sarah. That set so far is really good. If you're going to retire a Samurai, then Tammara is a much better candidate for that.

Cleric and Ranger are definitely good ideas, but you already have three heroes for both elements. I would recommend bringing Fire and Earth up to three heroes first.

sick fern
#

ok

obtuse trail
#

Pop quiz:

Why do you think Tammara is a better candidate to be retired than Juliano?

sick fern
#

1sec

#

tammara being a samurai has no attack?

#

very defensve skills

#

sarah has better attack skills

#

this should be a nice one no?

#

bro looks awful

#

xd

obtuse trail
#

That's incredible.

#

And yeah, pretty much on the Samurai. Tammara has a great set for a purely defensive Fighter, but Samurai are more designed to be hybrid attackers or pure crit attackers.

Juliano doesn't have any bonus Attack, but is generally a decent hybrid attacker / tank right now.

sick fern
#

and keep juliano then?

#

and is elise alright?

obtuse trail
#

I would not really recommend hiring new Samurai right now. They're one of the most difficult classes in the game to build well and should generally be avoided until you have a really strong handle on your roster as a whole.

sick fern
#

ok

obtuse trail
#

Elyse is great. If you have spare T3 dice, I would throw one at her to see what happens.

sick fern
#

i sepnt all i had on him didnt turn out well

#

;-;

#

ill need to get the pass

#

and hen ill reroll

obtuse trail
#

That's really strong.

sick fern
#

so if i retire tammara what do i get

sick fern
obtuse trail
#

You've done some shuffling around, could you please post a current roster?

sick fern
#

do i soul her too

sick fern
#

if u can wait

obtuse trail
#

T6 class = super low priority. Additionally, this is a hero who doesn't have their full natural skillset yet.

#

AKA no.

#

(Or at least, not yet)

sick fern
#

whats a full natural skill set

obtuse trail
#

Flip over to her Skills tab for a sec.

sick fern
#

ok ill do my roster

#

ok

obtuse trail
#

(and please post it)

sick fern
#

the lvl 35 skill

obtuse trail
#

Yeah. The locked icon here means the hero still has skills available to learn via levelling up.

#

Now please post the same screen on Malik.

sick fern
#

one more thing im remaking the roster i changed some names u wont i hope u wont mind

#

im sorry if it makes ur job diffcult

obtuse trail
#

Well, he's been promoted now so he has the ability to learn skill 3.

If you check any T1 - T4 heroes who haven't been promoted yet, then you'll see they do not have the lock icon in slot 4 like these last two do. That means they've learned every skill they can before you promote them.

sick fern
#

phew

obtuse trail
#

Based on this and the "three heroes per element" thing, what do you think would be a good class to hire next?

sick fern
#

1 pyro

#

1 earth

obtuse trail
#

Good!

What classes?

sick fern
#

but wait

#

ill retire tammara

#

i her place

#

i can hire a new one

sick fern
#

and for earth not sure

#

wanderer seem sthe only option

obtuse trail
#

A Musketeer and a Wanderer would be great choices, nicely done! That gives you a third hero for both elements, and different archetypes as well.

#

For Tammara, that would dip you to two Water heroes. A Geomancer is a good replacement. Monks work as well, but they can be a little harder to work with since they're T2 heroes.

sick fern
#

geomancer it is

#

itll take some time to pull a decent set

#

and juliano keep?

obtuse trail
#

Phenomenal start for Messa.

#

Juliano, check S4.

sick fern
obtuse trail
#

My dude.

You have Adept on a Spellcaster.

#

This by itself is worth checking the next skill for.

sick fern
#

thanks man

#

any heroe need 1st skill reroll

sick fern
#

hello

obtuse trail
#

Nobody yet. Everybody who you might want to roll S1 on still has skills available to learn.

sick fern
#

ok

sick fern
#

man i got afew question about what my guild mates said about one heroe can i just say what they said and what u think of it?

sick fern
obtuse trail
#

Of course.

sick fern
#

"It's an okayish start. Be better if the gold skill was in slot two, that bronze one isn't doing anything for anybody."

#

"It's one semi-good skill in a slot you can easily reroll, and a bad skill in the 2nd slot. It's retire fodder."

obtuse trail
#

I agree that it would be a better set if the skills were reversed, but this is still incredible.

sick fern
#

"I mean sure,you could always get lucky. I just usually skip those ones to save time and look for better. 🤷‍♂️"

#

he is end game almost

obtuse trail
#

Quite frankly, that sounds an awful lot like the "I'm endgame so I only give advice that I myself would follow" mentality.

#

AKA it's not scaling to you and your specific situation.

sick fern
#

nah nah

#

he just said what he thinks

#

well i like to mthink of it that way

obtuse trail
#

Adept is bar none the best weapon skill in the game for raw damage. It boosts two of the best weapon types and also has a secondary Attack bonus. Weapon skills are mandatory for most attackers.

EagleEyes is a decent boost to crit, which helps literally every damage dealer. It's not the best option sure, but it's still very good.

This set (especially being on a Geomancer) already has all the tools you need to be great.

sick fern
#

thats fair

obtuse trail
#

Your guildmate's mentality is extremely common, and quite frankly I would take everything said by someone who's doing that with a big grain of salt.

#

I'll be real:

I am endgame and I would check slot 3 on that set.

#

For you who still has a ways to go to hit that point, this is probably one of the best heroes you'll see for a while.

sick fern
#

he probably isnt that good at guiding

obtuse trail
#

I will admit that I have a personal bias against the "I'm endgame so my advice doesn't scale down" mentality like that.

sick fern
#

hey man thats a fairpov cant argue .

#

but he isnt like that if im being honest

#

he helps me quiet a bit .

obtuse trail
#

I believe it, and that's great!

#

It's very good to have someone available to give you a hand like that.

sick fern
#

very true

#

its great to have a great help like u too .

#

🇼

obtuse trail
#

And to elaborate on why the set would be better if the skills were reversed (aka it was EagleEyes Adept instead):

You can fuse T1 dice via Full Moon Fusion. The recipe isn't super expensive so this makes it pretty easy to reroll slot 1. Additionally, EagleEyes is decent but there are generally better options for CHC. It's also locking you out of rolling its Rare upgrade AllNatural which is significantly better.

If the skills were reversed, then it's a lot easier to swap out EagleEyes in slot 1 to either open up AllNatural in the skill pool or get something decent in the first slot in general.

sick fern
#

yeah man

#

but if i retire this one itll prolly take me a year to reach that goal

obtuse trail
#

If this Geomancer rolls basically any functional skill in the next two slots, she'll hard carry you for a long time.

sick fern
#

nice

#

now i wanna energy drink her

#

;-;

#

but shes too low for that

#

and one more thing as i reached to lvl 60 new expansion could u guide me for an optimal bin and rack ratio

#

im very confused

#

;-;

#

i can share my current situation if u want to see.

obtuse trail
#

Unfortunately... there kinda isn't an easy answer there. The general rule of thumb is to get as many racks as you need to craft comfortably and then fill the remaining furniture slots with racks.

#

The actual numbers are going to vary from person to person.

sick fern
#

yeah but then energy becomes an issue

#

ur very experienced ill take ur opinion tbh

obtuse trail
#

You'll almost always have a bottleneck somewhere when it comes to your shop setup. Often you'll find yourself lacking in either resources to craft or energy to Surcharge, so the step forward from there is to focus on getting more racks / bins to mitigate that or upgrade the ones you have.

sick fern
#

would u like to see my setup and make some correction if needed

#

im not sure if got balanced amount

sick fern
#

;-;

sick fern
sick fern
#

what do i do

#

yo someone help

#

😭

#

@soft idol

soft idol
#

That's for your druid?

#

That's an amazing skill for them!

obtuse trail
sick fern
#

ive got some 4th kill dies too

sick fern
soft idol
sick fern
#

sorry for mentioning again

#

;-;

#

and i have one more soul

obtuse trail
#

As for why this is a great skill:

You can almost always fit one purely defensive skill on your attackers. You will lose damage oer hit sure, but DPS drops to 0 if you're a corpse. Additionally, Druids have great synergy with defensive skills thanks to their innate ability boosting their Herb and Meal items. You also have a weapon skill (and the best one, at that) which is nearly mandatory for attackers and a general Attack skill.

#

Use that promotion on this Druid.

sick fern
#

ok

#

man its a struggle to upgrade malady

#

do i send her to quests with powerful heroes?

#

or send her with weak heroes?

Ideally strong heroes to protect her.

#

Make sure you give her a good Familiar and Aurasong too.

sick fern
#

im ok

#

max tier i can get her is 6

#

half of the time familiar aint on the market

#

but i got one todAY

#

luckily

obtuse trail
#

At T7, use Anubis and the baseline T7 Aura (Flames, I think?)

#

Then switch to the T9s when you can do that.

sick fern
#

ye

obtuse trail
#

(aka skip the T8 options)

sick fern
#

wha~

#

why

obtuse trail
#

The best Familiar is always the highest tier option that has HP and Defense. Champions' biggest weakness is their low durability so having boosts to both stats is huge.

Cyclops has HP and Evasion. Evasion is pretty bad on Champions because most of them have a very low base value for it.

The T8 Aura grants CD to the party. This is OK but not great because it's a dead stat for heroes who aren't frequently dealing critical hits.

#

"Higher tier" very rarely means "better" in this game in any context (unless it's a direct comparison where both things are identical except for the tier).

sick fern
#

damn

sick fern
#

so my mage has only 2 skill yall dont tell me to retire her just yet and not promote her either whys that. isnt she week

#

her names teela

obtuse trail
#

Skillset is StaffMaster Adept , correct?

Please remind me where that was mentioned for context.

sick fern
#

yes but she said i can retire her later not yet

obtuse trail
#

Yuki has an explanation of the term, but to clarify: "fire later" is a general term. We use it to give people an idea of how good a hero is and the general priority on retiring them. "Later" in this context means the hero is decent enough to stick around for a while and they'll put in good work, but they're not strong enough to stay permanently.

In this case, you have a T1 hero which means they can only learn two skills before promoting. With heroes like this, you're almost guaranteed to need to reroll slots 3 & 4 after you promote. You don't want to also have to go fishing for important skills while you're doing this. In the case of Teela here, you don't have any bonus Attack and you have two weapon skills. This build style works on Mages, but it kinda forces you into a specific build style where you NEED as much bonus Attack as possible to pair with them.

Yuki has an explanation of the term
I just realized that I hadn't explained this at for this chat yet!

#

Terminology

  • Fire now: A hero with skills that are almost irredeemable and should be fired as soon as possible. Adds no value to the team right now, or are the weakest links of the roster.
  • Fire later: Heroes that have no long term value, and that you will replace down the line. Typically split into high priority or low priority depending on how usable the set is in the short/long term. Assume high priority if unspecified
  • ODC (One dice check): Using one skill dice to reroll a skill at a certain skill slot.
  • S1/S2/S3/S4: Refers to the skill slot of a hero. S1 is the first skill for all heroes and is obtained at level 5, S2 is obtained at level 10, S3 at level 23, S4 at level 35. Note that some classes are only able to obtain up to S2/S3 naturally, without being promoted using titan souls
sick fern
#

s3 ok?

soft idol
#

A defensive skill is always welcomed

sick fern
#

what could be better

sick fern
#

for my level?

#

or retire or reroll?

soft idol
#

Good? Definitely. The best? No

#

Not worth rerolling it

#

Check S4

sick fern
#

is there a way to quickly lvl up?

soft idol
#

It's the 2nd best defensive skill on a geomancer

sick fern
#

and s2?

soft idol
sick fern
soft idol
#

That's why you focus only on defensive gear and spirits for your low level heroes

sick fern
#

;-;

sick fern
#

gamble or use mega power one

#

guys can u pls tell me the best team i can pull with my roster damage wise

#

;-;

obtuse trail
#

Swap the Spellblade in that screenshot for Elyse and that's probably the best you can do at a quick glance.

#

THIS IS OKAY.

sick fern
#

hey man i changed some gears

#

looks like im learning xd

obtuse trail
#

Equipment is a big deal when it comes to hero strength. If you have a cohesive skillset and halfway competent gear, then you'll do a lot better than one would expect.

sick fern
#

whats halfway component gear

obtuse trail
#

"Usable", basically.

#

(Also, "competent", not "component". Those are two very different thing.)

sick fern
#

oh yes yes

sick fern
#

keep or etire

obtuse trail
#

Maintenance is solid on Fighters and the first two skills make for a strong start of a hybrid attacker / tank set.

sick fern
#

any reroll i shall perform?

#

i was thinking of getting a top tier one waith all gold skills

#

should i do it imean in down to spend some gold

soft idol
#

And all gold skills doesn't necessarily mean good

sick fern
#

;-;

soft idol
#

Unless you have Mundra and a load of time on your hands

sick fern
#

huh

soft idol
#

OH you meant with AF

#

Don't do that

sick fern
#

no mundra

#

whats af

#

;-;

soft idol
#

Argon's Finest

sick fern
#

ye

#

;-;

#

i kinda feel sad with al mid heroes

#

atleast 2 3 would be nicce to have

obtuse trail
#

You can do a LOT more than you think you can.

soft idol
sick fern
#

1 sec

soft idol
#

You can send 2 teams down jungle extreme

#

With that roster

#

At a quick glance at least

sick fern
#

yes just havent updated some skilss

obtuse trail
#

This is my goto example.

Second set looks significantly weaker than the first, but is so much better.

soft idol
#

The rest can all go to hard once they're level 40 with the right gear

sick fern
obtuse trail
#

(with proper equipment, of course)

sick fern
#

any random gold skills wont do

#

ikthat

obtuse trail
#

Of course. This is an example of that principle.

soft idol
#

You can send all teams down jungle extreme with only normal/rare skills 😬

#

No legendary gear either

obtuse trail
#

It all depends on if they're the right skills.

soft idol
#

Full flawless gear, titan soul, level 40

sick fern
#

ik ;-; but some strong ones just ake it more fun to look at stYetiLook

soft idol
#

Frankly, this is not the right time to be picky and going for all gold skills

obtuse trail
#

That's filed under "my roster is done so I'm looking for better than what I already have".

sick fern
obtuse trail
#

This game is primarily built on incremental progress.

If you tunnelvision on what your endgame plan is (or on what endgame players are doing), you're going to get frustrated when you don't get there immediately.

soft idol
#

You can do that later when your current roster has all been levelled up and you slowly work on one or two heroes at a time

sick fern
#

i understand

obtuse trail
#

It happens in every game like this ever.

soft idol
#

Option 1: Fire your "mid" heroes now and work towards perfect heroes immediately
Option 2: Focus on getting everyone levelled up then work on one/two heroes to "perfect" at a time

sick fern
#

patience

soft idol
#

Option 2 will be far faster and efficient

sick fern
#

i see

soft idol
#

Reason is because your core roster is solid and you can send multiple teams down harder dungeons which will give you better gear, gold, equipment, XP

#

That in turn will help you grow faster and get more hero slots, quest slots, better equipment etc

#

Earlier on, you might spend many days, if not weeks to get a hero from 10 to 35

#

But once you get a core roster and have a few very strong heroes, you can get a hero from 10 to 35 in less than 10 hours

#

Which will let you get the 4 gold skill heroes a lot faster

#

I'll send a short video of my roster progression over the past few months, each picture is updated roughly every 2 weeks

#

You'll see a massive improvement after my core roster is strong

#

Because I made a few strong heroes that carried everyone to a good point which made me grow faster

obtuse trail
#

(honestly probably not, at least the last few. just do the first few progression ones.)

soft idol
#

Uhh check DMs and tell me which point I should stop

obtuse trail
#

(you're a bit of an outlier with how quickly you picked everything up)

sick fern
soft idol
#

Your warlock

sick fern
#

except that one

soft idol
#

Cgeryl is has a lot of potential too

#

You just need to pick up any bonus attack skill in S4 and she'll carry

cyan spoke
#

eddard and gregor are probably doing a lot of work currently

sick fern
#

do i need to replace the warlocks last skill tho

soft idol
#

Elyse is amazing too

soft idol
sick fern
#

i have a few dies

soft idol
#

It's not bad to have a defensive skill, but 2 defensive skills is a bit too much on an attacking class

sick fern
#

do i try?

soft idol
#

Definitely

cyan spoke
#

do it

sick fern
#

accept and one more reroll?

cyan spoke
#

accept for sure

#

its a great skill, even though its sadly not what he was missing

sick fern
#

;-;

cyan spoke
#

but he isnt missing anything really 😄

sick fern
#

whats that

soft idol
#

That's a great skill

#

You're done

cyan spoke
#

yeah

sick fern
#

lesgo

soft idol
#

I would be 95% happy with a warlock like that

sick fern
#

too much defensive is it a bad thing tho

soft idol
#

That isn't considered too much

#

I'd say it's either just right or even a bit under

sick fern
#

i mean i just auto select my squads could u give me some arragements?

soft idol
#

No need to worry about arrangements

#

The easiest thing to do is to pair your weakest heroes with your strongest heroes

#

Then if they can't clear, pair a strong champion

#

If they can clear, pair a weaker champion

sick fern
#

alr

cyan spoke
#

yeah. game usually selects your strongest heroes first. what i would do is let it auto select, then unselect one strong hero and add a weak hero instead

#

this way you send balanced teams

soft idol
#

If I were you, I'd focus on getting to bleakspire peak and get one team that can carry extreme solo or duo

#

Probably something like Argon + voldemort + two lower level hero

#

If you can't carry with just Argon + Voldemort then add another strong hero to carry

#

Cgeryl, Malik, Elyse are good options for your 2nd carry if needed

sick fern
#

letme check 1 sec

soft idol
#

Then use bleakspire extreme to level your highest potential heroes to 36

sick fern
#

i need some gear advice

soft idol
#

Give those heroes T14 equipment and move on

sick fern
#

ok

soft idol
#

Repeat this process until all of your hereos are level 36 then get them all to 38/40

sick fern
#

do i give my warlock all max tier equipment?

soft idol
#

That's the hard part

#

After that, work on rehiring one/two bad heroes at a time

soft idol
#

The best setup is a mix of T14/T15

sick fern
#

this is current the ones that havent broken any replacement needed?

soft idol
#

To carry in bleakspire
Weapon: Titan Admiral Arms
Clothes: Chronomancer's Robe (For more damage)
Desssert: Starberry Pie
Boots: Voidwalker (For more damage)
Spell: Tribal Scribble
Spell: Tribal Scribble

Spirits: ALL 6 leviathans

When you start doing jungle
Replace clothes with Malady's Robe
Replace Boots with Titan Admiral Boots
Replace both spell with Lilu's Starfall

Spirits: Weapon should use Titan Enchant, keep everything else leviathans

sick fern
#

ok

obtuse trail
#

(also you're missing a piece of equipment there)

sick fern
#

are these available on the market

#

what category is the weapon

cyan spoke
#

dual wield

#

T15

#

can you even see T15? I forgot which ML it is at

sick fern
#

it not on the market

#

i can see t15 but for heroes we can equip them from the market i think

#

im ml 61

cyan spoke
#

filters are bugged sometimes

#

if you can see T15 on the market, then there will definetly be titan admiral arms there

sick fern
#

i can see t13 on market

#

but my heroe can equip t15 max

cyan spoke
#

ah, no hurry then. you will get there soon

#

and you dont need it yet

sick fern
#

;-;

#

so i cant equip those

#

;-;-;-;-;-;-;

cyan spoke
#

well, you can't equip it if you cant buy it 😄 its no big deal though

#

market tiers arent far off

#

like... 65 I think?

obtuse trail
#

Correct.

sick fern
#

61

obtuse trail
#

(No, Combat was saying you need to be 65 to see T15s on the market)

obtuse trail
#

Breathe.

soft idol
#

Got permission from the boss!

obtuse trail
#

There's a lot in this game that can be overwhelming. This is a lot to take in.

soft idol
obtuse trail
#

ST is also a game of incremental progress.

You will get there.

sick fern
#

xp

obtuse trail
#

Yuki is an outlier, honestly.

#

She picked the hero system up extremely quickly and played to heavily optimize it.

sick fern
#

fr i now get why u were saying that shes only ml 66 and knows so much

obtuse trail
#

She's higher level. That's just when this particular example stops.

soft idol
#

Uhh I'm not ml66 haha

#

I just stopped showing the rest of the progression

sick fern
#

oh

#

72?

obtuse trail
#

Further progression was omitted because it leans a little too far into "maybe we shouldn't be showing a roster this good to somebody still picking up the basics" territory.

soft idol
#

And the pictures are just to show you what gradual improvements to a roster looks like

soft idol
sick fern
#

gg

#

fairplay

#

u said u started playin 6 months ago?

soft idol
#

2nd May

cyan spoke
#

yuki just cut out the part where she retired all heroes and made the roster only spellblades 🙂 (wait, that was ark, not yuki)

soft idol
#

ML66 pic was from 17 June

cyan spoke
#

(i'm joking)

soft idol
#

Because I hate spellblades

sick fern
soft idol
#

I'm not going through all that pain of hiring another spellblade ever again

soft idol
sick fern
#

this has gotta go on guiness book of world record

#

bruh

soft idol
#

The point I wanted to make, is that roster improvement explodes once you get a few carry heroes

obtuse trail
#

(Again, yuki is an outlier on the high end.)

sick fern
#

how did u lvl up so fast

obtuse trail
#

Do not focus on what other people are doing.

soft idol
#

The pictures didn't show the explosive growth I got from bleakspire because I hadn't started farming bleakspire until I got my 2nd & 3rd soul

cyan spoke
sick fern
#

😂 thats some wizardry

sick fern
#

lmao

sick fern
#

i farm t 13 t 12 during lcog and tot

#

to lvl

#

but even i am not that fast

soft idol
#

I think we're getting a bit sidetracked here 😛

#

But you are the creator of this post and since you changed your question to "How did you lvl up so fast"

#

I didn't do anything special actually...

#

It was just semester break and I was super addicted to shop titans

sick fern
soft idol
#

I didn't even buy T13 stuff to sell back then

#

I just bought T5/T6/T7 because I couldn't get myself to "waste" so much gold

sick fern
#

which one

#

to equip on voldy

soft idol
sick fern
#

only

obtuse trail
#

Voidminster Habit is immediately out. It's a baseline crafted item = it only has one stat.

#

As a general rule, you should never use items that only have one stat unless you have no other choice.* Items with an inbuilt element do not count - that's a free enchantment, not a second stat.

*There are two exceptions: if you need more Element power pre T14 elements OR it's a Spellknight and you're using a chest BP item in the weapon / spell / ring slot.

sick fern
#

ok

#

i just got one more thing to ask

#

we talked about this before

#

can i retire her now

#

i dont like that she has got 2 skills

obtuse trail
#

(Important note: Why the heck are you using a Crossbow on a hero who has three bonuses to Staffs?)

sick fern
#

i remember what yuki and archon said but still getting an itch

soft idol
#

Personally, I would consider promoting it hahaha

#

Bonus skill is relatively easy to get

sick fern
#

u said not to just some days back

soft idol
#

Yeah I know I did

sick fern
#

😭

obtuse trail
#

My opinion on her has not changed.

soft idol
#

I'm a gambler at heart stFaceHappy

cyan spoke
#

equip a staff and see if you like her then 😄

sick fern
soft idol
#

Your choices right now are to promote and gamble (not recommended and very risky since you'd be better off promoting a strong t3/t4 hero who already has three good skills)

#

OR to fire her and hire a T3/T4 attacker in her place (Safe option and what archon recommends)

sick fern
cyan spoke
#

ah, dont buy it if you want to fire her

sick fern
#

i want to fire her

#

yessssssss

#

yessssss

soft idol
#

Then fire her!

#

Wait

sick fern
#

lesgoooooo

soft idol
#

Hold on...

sick fern
#

okok

soft idol
#

Lemme check to see if your roster is at a spot where you should consider her as your next fire

cyan spoke
#

poor Teela. Tried her best but was still not good enough

obtuse trail
# sick fern

Relevant:

Based on what we just talked about, which of these would be a good option?

#

(Assuming you were keeping her)

sick fern
#

wisdom

obtuse trail
#

Because?

sick fern
#

more atck and gef

#

def*

obtuse trail
#

Yule's Herald has HP instead. Is that a good option?

sick fern
#

i think he has enough hp

#

did u check yuki

soft idol
#

Yup! I checked and I see a few other heroes that are "worse" but because those heroes have more skill slots to work with, and have higher base stats, they're better than your current mage

#

For that, I think it's safe to say that you can let go of her

#

Resending the roster here because it's annoying to scroll up

sick fern
#

wait 1 sec

#

its not updated

#

some heroes have unlocked the third skill

soft idol
#

ML60 has 18 hero slots and 6 quest slots, as such you should ideally have 6 fighters and 3 heroes for each element.

#

I'll tell you what hero to hire after you send your updated roster 👀

sick fern
#

ok

soft idol
#

6 fighters
5 rogues
7 spellcasters

3 light
3 water
2 fire
3 dark
3 air
2 earth

These elements do not have two archetype coverage

  • light
  • air
  • earth
#

Since you're firing your mage teela, you'll be down to 1 fire. Pick up a musketeer

cyan spoke
# sick fern i think he has enough hp

I think archon would say that both would be good options. you already have quite a bit of HP, which makes DEF better, but you also have a HP boosting skill

soft idol
#

Musketeer will give you two archetypes for fire and balanced number of heroes across all archetypes while also giving you back the fire hero you fired

sick fern
soft idol
#

Wow, I just realized that all three of your dancers have a lot of potential!

sick fern
#

yayyy

soft idol
#

If I were you, I'd use voldemort to carry your dancers to level 35 quickly

sick fern
#

okiii

#

so exteme bleak with these ofur?

#

four*

soft idol
#

Nope!

cyan spoke
#

whatever you have available works

soft idol
#

Argon/Rudo/Ashley + Warlock + Dancer + Dancer

#

See where that gets you

#

There's one that has air barrier

#

If your dancers can survive that, do that

sick fern
#

just the warlock and a dancer?

soft idol
#

If your warlock is well built, she should be able to carry that team. I'm not sure if she's strong enough to kill the enemy before the enemy kills your dancer though!

sick fern

equipment issue

wait let me check

soft idol
#

Gimme a sec!

sick fern

#

ok but do i fire teela now?

#

skills to look for in muski

soft idol
#

Any skill that gives the following (No particular order!)

  • Weapon skill (Mandatory)
  • Bonus attack (Mandatory)
  • Evasion
  • CHC/CD
  • HP
sick fern
#

tbh i dont want

#

i want atleast a gold weapon skill

soft idol
#

That's a good start but if you want to continue rerolling 🤷‍♀️

#

I can't stop you

#

Aim for a good S2

#

That's the typical advice we give if your core roster is decent and you want a good hero 😛

sick fern
#

;-;

#

ik not good

#

but such a nice s1

soft idol
#

It's good

#

S2 is only "outclassed" by one skill which is cloak & daggers

#

It's a great skill!

#

I run one defensive skill on ALL of my attackers except for my first three souled attackers

#

If I could go back and give those three attackers a defensive skill before I soul them, I would for two of them

sick fern
#

So is this a GOOD?

#

Only then I keep

#

Only 50k so i am rerolling until I get some thing GOOD

soft idol
#

This IS good

#

Is it the BEST? No!

Is it really good? Depends on S3

Is it good? Even if S3 turns out to be a dud, yes!

#

BUT

#

Here's the major caveat 😬

#

Musketeers are an attacking class, so they absolutely need a weapon skill and a bonus attack skill

sick fern
soft idol
#

Neither S1 nor S2 are either of those

sick fern
#

Ok

#

Reroll

soft idol
#

So you need to get a weapon skill/bonus attack in S3

#

Promote, and then get the other in S4

#

Which makes your options quite limited

soft idol
#

S1 and S2 are great by itself, but you not having Roland makes it a bit harder to recommend keeping this hero because of the specific skills you need to get in both S3 and S4

sick fern
#

jujst the one after the last one

soft idol
#

That's phenomenal!

#

DOB is my bias on all rogues (In a good way)

#

It's my go to and preferred choice

sick fern
#

lesgoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

#

1st skill reroll?

soft idol
#

S1 is "mid" but it's easy to roll off!

#

100% check S3 here

soft idol
#

Not now though!

soft idol
#

You don't want to reroll it now because if you do, it might come back at S3 or S4 😛

sick fern
#

i see

#

anything worth picking up?

soft idol
#

I always pick up low tier stuff for ascension fodder and blueprint mastery

#

But if you don't want to do that and want BIS item

#

Betrayer's Hands are BIS for a good few heroes that want the offensive power

#

I don't use it because I want more bulk in my equipment, so I run titan admiral gloves instead

sick fern
#

ok

soft idol
#

But a lot of higher level players only care about offensive power, and if they're looking for offensive power, it doesn't get any better than betrayer's gloves 😛

sick fern
#

but these are decent?

soft idol
#

At least, if they are picking up gloves to begin with

sick fern
#

ok

#

i cant find leviathan spirit

obtuse trail
#

It's a T14.

soft idol
#

Sorry forgot you don't have t14 yet 😬

#

Use bear for now

#

Or maybe kraken or chimera?

sick fern
#

whens t14 unlocking

soft idol
#

Tbh I didn't focus on spirits until t14 haha

sick fern
soft idol
#

Honestly, I have no clue which one to pick up!

sick fern
#

att / crit / hp

#

eva

#

gimme a set for dancers too

#

;-;

#

pls

#

im confusedd

#

and this one too

obtuse trail
#

Make sure your heroes have equipment in all slots.

#

You also have four baseline crafted items here.

#

General rule of thumb for T12 spirit:

  • Fighters, use half Phoenix / half Tarrasque. You can go full Phoenix or full Tarrasque if you sim it and it works better for your specific setup. Christmas > Phoenix if the fight averages 8 turns or less.
  • Rogues who don't need Evasion & crit based Spellcasters use Chimera.
  • Rogues who do need Evasion (or CHC) use Carbuncle.
  • Spellcasters otherwise use Kraken.
sick fern
#

whats baseline craft

#

;-;

soft idol
#

Blueprints unlocked using research scrolls

#

They're called baseline craft because they only have 1 and only 1 stat on the equipment

#

When picking equipment for heroes, even a lower tier item with 2 stats will outperform a higher tier single stat item

sick fern
#

yes

#

ok

#

so this aint a good weapon

obtuse trail
#

No.

#

It only has one stat.

sick fern
#

i got this bp in kc should i take it?

sick fern
obtuse trail
#

T11 is mid-tier at this point. No.

#

(maybe keep questions like that separate)

obtuse trail
sick fern
#

if so my bad

sick fern
obtuse trail
#

I meant that you asked two very different equipment related questions one right after the other, so it's easy to confuse the second one as being a continuation of the first.
