Why Not Send Trickster?

Trickster

Trickster and I have a love/hate relationship.

First and foremost, you DO NOT need Trickster as your leader to get his research or hunting boosts. They are Administrative Battle Skills and are active no matter what. Unless he's your leader and has been captured, you're getting those boosts as soon as you unlock them.

Next, he is NOT a war hero. I've been asked, "What do you have against Trickster? He's got Squad damage for ranged troops. I can send him with my ranged troops and he'll give me that boost."

Squad damage does do something, but lets be realistic. Tracker, Death Archer, and Snow Queen are going to be more effective in the long run because of their Ranged ATK battle skill. The squad damage boost is limited to 1/4 of that particular troop type. Ranged attack battle skill effects every single ranged troop. And if someone has a legendary Trickster, but Tracker and Snow Queen are still uncommon and you're running ranged enough that this is even a topic of concern, it might be time to sweep some stages and collect metals.

Nine times out of ten, the Squad boost alone just plain isn't as good as the Squad boost plus an ATK Battle Skill and I will always advise to never send Trickster into battle be it Showdown or real. If you're just starting out and you're only sending ranged troops, then maybe send Trickster if he has a higher grade than your other ranged heroes.

I love Trickster! He's awesome! He's a really useful hero! His Administrative Battle Skills are amazing! But he's not a warrior. Use him in the Colosseum and doing Hero Stages. Have him hunt monsters that are weak to physical attacks. Send him to gather to get a command boost to send more troops. But when it's time to fight with troops? Let him cheer you on at home.

The "Best" Heroes

I mean it when I say that the primary thing to keep in mind is that all of the heroes have strengths and weakness. There is no universal "best" hero. It comes down to personal preference and building a good team with all the types and useful battle skills for what you're focused on. But I know that's not what you want. So here goes. This is just my personal opinion. Free Heroes 1. Rose Knight 2. Heroes with troop specific ATK & HP Battle Skills • Demon Slayer - Infantry • Snow Queen - Ranged • Child of Light - Cavalry 3. Trickster 4. Bombin' Goblin 5. Prima Donna Paid Heroes 1. Lore Weaver 2. Berserker 3. Songstress of the Sea 4. The Big Guy 5. Witch Doll Rose Knight Cavalry • STR (Strength) She is the most ideal free hero offered in the game right now. She has high HP, healing capabilities, and at Rank 7, she has an Army ATK boost. Can be Used In Battle: Yes Stationed on Wall: Yes Colosseum: Yes Hero Stages: Yes Monster Hu...

Can I Take This Hit?

Can I Take This Hit? Alright, let's do the math. I loathe maths, so you're lucky I like you guys. The ratio for troops is: 1 T4 = 1.5 T3s 1 T4 = 2.25 T2s 1 T4 = 4.5 T1s 1 T3 = 1.5 T2s 1 T3 = 3 T1s 1 T2 = 2 T1s Now that's the base troop. No research, no talents, no nothing. Without an army boost scroll the max a 25 castle can send is 250k. Castle max of 200k plus 5 Rank 8 heros at 10k each. With a 50% scroll, it's 375k. Eating a Rally Level 25 Battle Hall holds 2m plus the leader's troops. So, let's pretend the leader popped a scroll and they actually fill it. Also pretend they fill it with T4s. That's 2,375,000 troops. If every single one of them is a T4, you'll need a minimum of: 2,375,000 T4s or 3,562,500 T3s or 5,343,750 T2s or 10,687,500 T1s Now that doesn't include the leader's research, talents, gear, any ATK boost scrolls, 10% Army ATK from having a 25 Battle Hall, prisoners, alter boosts, or any titles. You'...

What Level Monster to Hunt?

Updated March 1, 2019 Hunting is one of the best things you can do for your own growth as well as Guild growth. But it's important to note that these are two different kinds of hunting. What you hunt and how you hunt it is different depending on your objective. Short Version Hunting for your guild: • Only level 1s or 2s (depending on size) • Only do multiple single hunts; never use the x(#) multiplier • Use daily accumulated energy Hunting for yourself: • Hunt the highest level possible that you can kill alone • Only do hits using the x(#) multiplier • Use bag energy Hunting For Your Guild When hunting for your guild, it is extremely important to utilize your energy efficiently. It's about obtaining the most keys possible with the least amount of energy as possible. Keys allow your guild to boost the guild gift level. Boosting the guild gift level is important because it not only makes the special boxes worth more, it also makes the guild look impressive a...
