An Advance Guide For Beginners (Patch 7.7.0)

[Silkypants]

This Guide is For Beginners, I may be wrong, Who Cares!??

Multiple levels of Tactics; PvP Frustrations, & PvE Advantages & Math.

Multiple Options from the Village idiot, to the broken person who Never Sleeps.

(S) Class Heroes are Helpful in PvP & PvE. Each 300 Gems, Based on a Timed option; it will rotate.

Free Hero Chips Daily, A 2 Star Free Hero could take down a 1 ‘bought’ Star S Hero.

(S+)“Gray Wizard” AoE Silence. (S+)“Star Guardian” is Tank, Raise “Crest” G-B-P; He will Revive. I love my “Forest Elder” Raise him well... Specific Abilities Open on Purple “Crest” Invest Wisely. 40+ Heroes. Love 8-10 Max. After a Few weeks, Your (S) 3-4 Star Hero is more powerful than 1 star (SS+) Hero. It’s a $$ fortune for ‘chips’, as ‘Cash Whales’ can offord to buy them. Some. Play daily, earning enough to make a Stand.

Now the Map is different than Arena & Hero Challenge. Consider your choices: Movement Speed “Savant” & Corrupt Halflin”, Lord Exp “King of Men” … Just Hover your Heroes, Apply what you learn to your Team.

Gear 6 Heroes Only. I mean it! Gear chips are Rare. Silver;Green;Blue;Purple . LV by 5-10-15-20 … Based on Lord Level. Max your Silver 1rst. Care for Green. Shine your Blue. (Purple is hard to farm) Keep 1-2 set 1-2 star them.

Based on Vip (Free Points Daily Login) & Castle Level, you may have 10-20 Spaces for Heroes... Who Cares!??

Now, if you do decide to take out 10 Heroes; You Must Master the Map! In “Watch” remember to click on “Details” 1rst option bottom Right. There you can ‘Solo’ (I only Solo if I get in the weekly Black Tower) The “Retreat” is always FREE. Use it, if you look ahead, and see you will die... then ‘Retreat’ & ‘Reinforce’

You can always see if anyone is “Camped” by clicking on anything you wish to attack. No one there? Bring your “Troop” Near the Desired area. Send your weakest Hero: wait 1:30 Delay & then see ‘Details’ for the next 10-20... Your encounters are based on Math. Random Defender: Elite Defender: Heroic Defender. If all are Defender for 10-20, Send out your 3-4 other weakest only (Gain easy Merit) When you see Elite Defender coming up, ‘Retreat’ weak Heroes, and send out your 5-6 Strongest... Now, Reinforce your Weakest, Bring them back for Defender. Wash/Rinse/Repeat

I’m putting another ‘Post’ Based on Gear... Numbers, Colors, Stars & How they each affect the Base Battle Power. Free Hero; a Bought Hero; & the Heroes you pay with real currency. I’m a new (ish) Player, with Patch 7.7.0 … I’m choosing to work with the Changes... I am not happy at all, yet Who Cares!?

Any recent research on servers? I'm only a small player and need to move to somewhere I can grow after too many big players moving in and taking over..

[djensen765]

Just joined this game and from what I read in this guide it seems like the game is ruled by the money spenders and their alts -- or some other person who has been playing for a long time and their alts -- so how does one play this game as a newbie and actually enjoy the basic game? Or is that simply not possible?

The items for the magic trace are in the thanksgiving day event (look for one of the turkeys icon) also it appears to be geared towards spenders? u need 70 bottles for 1 trace?

[R2121210721]

I'm a genuine noob in this game and get stomped on a regular basis. I play server 77 Garland. Where do you get the Magic trace for your heros?? I see the little icon for it but it doesn't tell you how to get it? Was just curious. Thanks.

This Guide will help you 'Prioritize' which Hero you need to focus on; What I'm about to share with you, will make a Huge difference, because I said so

Every RPG has certain common traits... When working on your team; Choose wisely... Yet, I will suggest that you strongly consider this Team; then I will add a few to also consider, and why.

Tank = The one that Leads your Party of 5 & (Shield)
Close Range Damage = Usually on a horse, or on foot (Weapons)
Long Range Damage = Archer & Magic Users (Weapons & Team Assistance)

Your First: Full Party of 5 Heroes= Some may be Normal & (S) Since they are easier to collect Daily.
1 Tanks: Gallant of Light or Kings Gallant are Normal. Some like S+ Rose Gallant since you can collect chips free in game.
2 Close range Damage (Can be any of the tank/fighters above) or an archer (Strong attacks, yet die instantly... I would have to put my 2nd best gear on an Archer)
2 Long Range like Invoke (Normal) to heal; and Forest Elder (S) to Shield; or (S) Nightingale to heal

This Party of 5 would do well in Arena:
1. (S+) Star Guardian or (S+) Rose Gallant
2. (S+) Corrupt Halfling or Normal Sirocco Ranger (Both have Team Debuff & Speed % on the Field Map)
3. (S+) Gray Wizard AoE Silence, or Forest Elder (Shield), don't get more than 2 healer types, as they are useless on Field Map events. Depending on your Nation's "White Magic Bonus"

Look over every Hero you have, and look into their abilities for Arena PvP... High BR or BP players, can be slain by a novice player who has a Hero that can silence & Lady Dog Slap their Healers and those that cast Shields; Drain Attacks; or increase their attacks, are silenced. A purple 1 Star (Star Guardian; will revive one in PvP)

Also trust whats in your Server... don't be shy... Click on other players, check to see what choices they made. Many sspppprrrreeeeaaaaddd all their resources to 10-15-20 Hero's...
Do Not Do That!

So you have your 5 main Heroes chosen for Arena.
Now, create another 5 Back up Heroes. Avoid mages, when possible; as you need will encounter players who have many mages. What kills a Mage fast?
Calvary kill Infantry Faster; Infantry kill Archers Faster, Archers kill Calvary Faster (Your mages are next to useless on World Map Battles) Mages may offer % to Merit;Exp;Speed though

Here is my last Suggestion on this Topic of Heroes, Troops, what gear to wear:

1. take off every piece of Armour off! Now click in World map the 'Troop' and look at all your heroes, & their Battle Power, from top to bottom.
As a new (ish) player, you may have a Purple set. Give it to your Main Tank. You may have many Blue; make 2-3 Blue Set; Make 2-3 Green; 2-3 Gray (and only gear the 5-10 Heroes Used)
Fight the urge to even out Gear for every Hero. Think 1) Arena PvP 2) Field map Battles. You should only take out 8 Heroes, the other 2 have Silver or green gear, and are mages right?

One Hero with great BP can sit there solo and kill many 'defender' enemies; and can handle more hits from 'Heroic Defender' Watch the fight, and see for yourself. If you even out your Gear score for 10 players, each will die one after the other = Resources to bring them out is outrageously painful. While a team of 5 That you geared instead of 'spreading' out will last longer!

Never go in Full Gun's a Blazing... It looks cool on the map, but silly in battles. All you need is a S 30 player, bring one or two of their best; thus killing 10 Heroes. would you rather loose 10 or 5?

As you play, you will learn a lot. It's better to have 5 Heroes with 2K BP each than 10 Heroes @ 1K BP. Can't stress that Very important point!

[Silkypants]

This Guide is about Gear, and one needs to be 'Tactical' on which Hero gets what Gear. I'll try to keep it simple; numbers are Not exact, based on many variables. Patch 7.7.0 Really hurt us 'Normal' Players; as it made it... MUCH better & for others. Here's a Break Down of each 'Set of 4 Equipment to make a Set'
Each Gear in the same color is the same Power (Avoid mix & match - If all same 'Set' Same color; same star level ect more Power Bonus)

Silver Gear Value: 2,400 x4 = 9,600 Power
Green Gear Value: 3,200 x4 = 12,800 Power
Blue Gear Value 4,000 x4 = 16,000 Power
Purple Gear Value 5,000 x4 = 20,000 Power
Gold Gear Value 6,000 x4 = 24,000 Power

Based on The Hero (Quality; LV; Gear Leveling gear to lv 30-40; Fate based on Heroes that have affiliations with other Heroes; A Set of same color; so many Variables) Numbers WILL Vary.

1 Star Normal @ 20K with Silver Set 9.6K = 29.6 K BP
2 Star Normal @ 40K with Green Set 12.8K = 42.8 BP
3 Star Normal @ 80K with Purple Set 20K =100 K BP

1 Star (S) Hero @ 25K with Silver Gear 9.6K = 34.6K
2 Star (S) Hero @ 50K with Green Gear 12.8K = 62.8K
3 Star (S) Hero @ 100K with Purple Gear 20K = 120K

1 Star (S+) Hero @ 35K with Silver Gear 9.6K = 44.6K BP
2 Star (S+) Hero @ 70K with Green Gear 12.8K = 82.8K BP
3 Star (S+) Hero @ 140K with Purple Gear 20K = 160 BP

1 Star (SS) Hero @ 45K with Silver Gear 9.6K = 54.6K
2 Star (SS) Hero @ 90K with Green Gear 12.8K = 112.8K
3 Star (SS) Hero @ 180K with Purple Gear 20K = 200K

Use this and cross reference your toon, my numbers should be very close. Heroes go from Silver to Purple; as does our Gear... Being exact is Not the point...

The point is: Focused on who you will put in Arena PVP & PVE

My next Guide will be on what Heroes to work on; as a Beginner player; and why! ... New players would be a lot less Discouraged; and my info may sway you to Keep playing 3rd Age/4th Age

[Silkypants]

Yeah... I have a fan!

This Guide is about Heroes & Gear. Patch 7.7.0 'Nerfed' us so badly, that new players have very little hope to get anywhere. Those that raised their Heroes to Purple+; 4-5 Stars, wearing Purple to Golden Gear are Gods. It's not completely hopeless... it's near impossible to get anywhere, without making the right choices daily. I'll try to keep it simple.

First, I'll tackle Heroes... These 'Numbers' are NOT exact! why? bc of the bonuses based on what heroes you have collected; matching 'Star' Levels will boost War Power ect.

(Normal) Heroes (Raised to Blue)
1 Star= 20K Warrior Power or Battle Power
2 Stars= 40K
3 Stars= 80K

(S) Heroes (Raised to Blue)
1 Star= 25K Warrior Power or Battle Power
2 Stars= 50K
3 Stars= 100K

(S+) Heroes (Raised to Blue)
1 Star= 35K Warrior Power or Battle Power
2 Stars= 70K
3 Stars= 140K

(SS) Heroes (Raised to Blue)
1 Star= 45K Warrior Power or Battle Power
2 Stars= 90K
3 Stars= 180K

The Dev's Simplified the numbers by 'doubling' each Star Tear... So when you work hard aka (Spent $) to earn 10 Chips, you are beyond Excited; you may even do a little dance. I'm here to Lady Dog Slap you to reality!

It takes 10 chips to open a Hero. Then it's 20+ Chips to Raise Hero to (Two Stars) & 50+ Chips for a (3 Stars) and 100+ Chips (4 Star)

Unless you buy these chips; or win 1-2-3 in Weekly events... Here's a Tissue.

Focus on you Free Heroes...
A (SS) Death Black Wings; It's a Dragon that Flies. 500 Gems for your 10 Chips to get it Around $10.00 US. And you don't want to know how much it costs to get more chips.
A (S+) Hero at 300 Gems for 10 Chips; Then 1440 Gems $20.00 US for (15 Chips) It will take 50+ chips (Good Luck with that)
A (S) Hero, you collect in Tavern, and other ways that you will see, as you play Daily. In a few weeks, you can raise them to 2-3 Stars
A Normal Hero is also from Tavern; and in shop, Arena, and Recycle Hub ... In a few weeks, you can raise them to 3-4 Stars.

A Normal 3 Star Hero can take down a (S+ 2 Stars) or a (SS 1 Star Hero)

Thanks Silkypants this is great! A lot of good information from a player's perspective and experience, along with being a fun read. Appreciate your time writing and posting this; please keep them coming! Can't wait for the next one...

[Silkypants]

Not a Team-Player? Prefer to be a solo player? Your 'Online time varies; & you've had enough of being told by an 'Alt' Vizier, that was put in that Nation to 'Serve & Protect' their Main Character's Nation... or, you're like me... I adapt & need to put 'me' first for a change... I invest my free time, my money!!! ... so no 'Karen' I will not be in your Guild, you used 'our' efforts to profit yourself. So, you click on 'Members' then you click on your name 'Leave Guild' Option appears, and you never look back... Yet... um... You are guildless, no more daily things things to do, no more 'resources' from guild event... You so wish you had a Friend right now...

This 'Friend' is your 'Alt' and having your 'alt' will open many possibilities... What I'm about to share with our players are ways to cope; adapt; & excel to your full potential as a solo player.

Let's say you log in R2 through Facebook S-50... (Any Server in 4th Age is Locked) Unless, you have a 'Toon' in said server; you can then visit to see how the whole 'Force Server' is doing. Players from S1 made sure to have a 'toon' every 6 Server: bc each has 6 Nations... so 50 divided by 6= 8.3 ... There are potentially 8 'Force Servers' that means H1 to H5 has over 30 Servers in them.

So don't bother clicking S1 to see something... think! There's not ever a way to go on a Server that reached 4th Age otherwise.

ok, back to your pretty little friend... You know to log in through a different account, since your main is through 'fb' maybe create through a 'Google' Account - That way, you can switch screens easily; and 2 different ways to log-in log-off. You play both, which passes the time, and late game... well, it's a game changer.

Now S-51 opens... omg... it's too late to make my 'Alt' for my S-50 Character... not a problem... Any time in 4th Age you can switch Servers. so your S-51 Character will go through 3rd Age for a couple weeks; once in 4th age... You can now 'Transfer' you Main S-50 & S-51 to H5.. or where ever. Maybe, you decided to Transfer your Main sooner... You like where you are in what ever 'Force Server' you choose, knowing that you will bring your 'alt' to said server. At some point, they will meet. Those that have experience with alts, would of created them the same day.

When you click on 'Rankings' You will see multiple names that are the same; yet look closely, to see some have S-12 Karen and some S-16 Karen and some S-18 Karen... They may be all the same Player; or there's another Karen out there (they are everywhere)

Under closer inspection; they are in different Nations; in different Guilds. One week they are in Orange, the next in Red. Because you can change 'Nation' within the same 'Force Server' ... No... you can not do this if you have not transferred from your original server; as it is 'Locked' for a period of time. Once you jump ship, you can't come back for a very long time.

So now, you have your 2 Characters, you've spent time and money on each... Good times; some Bad ones... Maybe you didn't do what the 16 year Vizier told you to do! The Vizier does not like you; or was told by another Karen to not like you. They may kick you from guild, or you decided to kick yourself first. Just start your own Guild. No problem! right?

It takes 2 in a guild to open all the daily Contribution treasure boxes... You main is the 'Deputy' & you choose your own guild name. Cost nothing. You accepted the guild request your 'alt' sent, and becomes 'Captain'. As Deputy, you set the time you will want the Guild Boss to appear, because you never could make it in your old guild; or not enough players participated. As Deputy, you can Shop, and add a couple 'Barrels' a day to be bought, since your old guild Deputy never bought items for players to buy, well you can now. You feel less stressed.

You send out your birds to hunt based on 'Mobility' and you see that all guild members get free 'resources' Along with many other benefits...

But now you angered Karen the Vizier! How dare you leave; (shaking fist) No one leaves me!

You had a town which the Vizier approved & a cute green title like 'Mayer'... which expires; and many other reasons like your town was taken. So you apply for a town, you don't dare ask for a city, because those offer more daily rewards, and you are not a Karen... You wait to see the 'Pop-Up' that the Vizier accepted your request. 2 days later, you realize that you are no longer 'liked' ... I guess, the game will suck now... not at all!

My next Guide will be how to Survive as a Solo player and your 'alt', and how you can get more rewards by not having the Vizier accept your request for a town. Trust me, it's fun!

[Silkypants]

Oui! Allo! I will answer your questions; including the ones you have not asked yet. This will be a 'Guide' of sorts; yet, told as a story filled with ways to not only cope with having an 'Alternative' player, and how you can accomplish what a 'Cash Whale' can do. First, you now know that you started in 3rd Age; 4th Age came a couple weeks later. Now, you may be looking at your world Map. You see that there are now 6 Factions. You also clicked on 'Rankings' to carefully review every possible 'Strength & Weakness' of each player on Server - From what Nations have been 'Activated' & some parts of the Map may have Gray Fortresses, which will later be filled with a Server... It could be weeks; so you will see a 'fair' portion of the land 'Protected'

For what ever reason; you decide that you want to change Servers. From H1 to H5 ... to see this; you clicked on your Portrait, then click on 'Change Force Server'

A 'Warning' Screen pops up; pay no attention to this, because you simply want to see all the Servers out there. But, you're uneasy that if you 'click' you may not come back... No worries because you need to 'Buy' a transfer ticket for 5,000 Diamonds.

Now, you see all the Servers available (even if you do Not have 5K Diamonds); including your own. You may be here for a good half hour... I refer to my Guide about all the Servers, before 'Tranfering'

Because you read said 'Guide' you now cross reference the info I provided, to see if things have changed. As you know, a lot happens in 24 Hours. You know to look at each Map, as if it was a 'Clock' Top middle is (1) going 'clock wise' it will end with (6) for each Nation. Colors vary from the Servers available, so KISS, click on each 'Fortress' to see how much land is owned. It's a works of Art really. Our players are Passionate & Mental.

Each Server from H1 to H5 includes multiple servers, from S1 - May 13 2019... If you thought a lot can happen in 24hr... Imagine players that have over a 'Year' on You.

Do not change Servers, unless you really have too. The top player in the game worked hard, and had to spend countless hours. I may hate this game; but I will not hate a Player. (I'll argue, and **** them off; as they will shower me with the same tingling sensations) Yet, we all have respect for the 'Tactics' & 'Insight' one must have to truly enjoy this game.

So... you decide, what do I have to loose??? I want to see other places... and perhaps, you've had enough of the 'Karen' s that play. You click, and purchase the 'Transfer' token... You have to be sure that you have clicked on the right Server, the right 'Fortress'.... You stare at the screen, reviewing all your options... You decide to get a drink first... ok, you come back, knowing that even if you land in a 'Snake' Pit... Your Cool Down is 7 days. So if you want to change Servers again... You wait 7 days.

You must of noticed when you looked at all the servers... yours has a Protection... ( A TIMER ) The newer the Servers are; the longer it will be under protection. You Can never come back to your Server for a few weeks, or for a few Months. When you 'Jump Ship' in this game... You literally jump ship.

Now... You are no longer a 'Beginner' ... It's time you you learn how creating your 'Alt' will help you do much... much more... That will be the next Guide. within the hour. Cheers
