Universal Dungeon Maker : Dark Lord (by GameCoaster)

I wish Construction become one of the reward cards. And if they can, add a "equipment" card as reward too, similar how monster egg is one. I'd love to choose to get equipment or room or monster instead. Furthermore, unlocking more rooms/monster seems like a demerit instead when you want a specific one for the combination, and all the extra one just bloating the reward pool.

Would be nice if somehow I can send them this suggestion :<.

 

My Recommended Combination Of Dark Lord's Guardians :

Shiva, Arachne, White Fang, Fairy or Dryanid.

 

Victory! I'd been playing through the Trial difficulties, usually getting just past lv.100 to unlock the next trial before completely biting it during an Elite Battle or bosses 120 or 140, then I'd move onto the next one. During a Marielle run on Trial 7, I suddenly lucked into a bunch of Giant squares and broke free.

Here's my run up to lv.500. I had 560 dark stones waiting for me once I withdrew. =D

Here's some thoughts on the trials as I went through:

* I've shifted my loyalty from Floria to Marielle. At level 10, Marielle's 10MP command gives all monsters 2 dodge/2 acceleration and all heroes 2 debuffs AND heals all monsters to full health! Unlike Floria, whose 2nd command heal requires seed spamming the 1st command, you can leave Marielle's 3rd command on all the time for full benefits, making it easier to auto through the levels.

* Marielle's full party heal counteracts a host of ills. With any immortality stacking (Death Knight, Necropolis, etc.), it becomes nigh impossible to lose most of your monsters. The full party heal also allows you to take on some otherwise scary Trial cards like the 40% Max HP poison/shock/etc or monster vulnerability x3/5, etc. I'm not sure I'd like to stack too many of them, but I was okay taking one or two.

* I'm a huge fan of the 6-star weapons/armors that give full monster party buffs. My favorite is the Sun Seeker bow -- wielders of the Sun Seeker give 3 focus to ALL monsters whenever they kill a monster. For a long time, that was my only 6-star weapon and it popped up whenever I rolled a 6-star. Very nice!

Good luck to everyone struggling with difficult content and/or rising up the ranks. I've been playing the game without IAP and managed to get very far. Have fun!

 

Hello, all. When I use fury on Emma it isn't applying the damage on my 1 MP command. On Emma I only deal like 50 damage instead of the increasing damage that I get on Elizabeth up to the thousands (Elizabeth with the bloody hammer relic that increases Fury as much as Vampire is increased?)

Is there a reason for this? or am I doing something wrong?

EDIT: I found out that Elizabeth had the skill +1 damage for each vampire stat. That makes her pretty broken... How does Emma compare to that or deal that much damage?

So fury does not apply when the enemies are not in the room?

MORE EDITS: Might want to add an FAQ so questions don't get repeated as often

 

How do the trial bonus score work? i imagine that the higher the score when finishing the run the more rewards you get but is there a known formula? something like every 100 points = 10 dark stones or something?

 

Man I really think auto spell should be default feature instead of stuff you have to roll. I'm already at 70th in original pack and I still haven't seen it.

Nah it just added to your final score screen, and those accumulate into exp which in turn raise your Rebirth level, and each rebirth level is 10 dark stones.

The strat for Emma is various buffing rooms and just enough monster to hold off the heroes so your dark lord room doesn't get overrun, then gathering a bunch of fury so she can one shot anyone who dares to face Emma.

 

i'm have extraction (whenever enemy enters room, does 1 damage and every 100 heroes, you get a monster level up).

i have a second extraction now and i can turn it into a laboratory. can someone explain why i would want a laboratory? it seems WORSE.

it's a facility, whenever a hero enters, every 200 then a monster levels up.

 

Laboratory increases the * of a random unit
extraction makes a random unit a elite

 

Ok.
I’m on the verge of throwing my phone against the wall.

Anyone got up to 100 trial 10 with Enma?

I really need advices.

I tried multiple set-up but can’t seems to find one that works.

Thanks guys!

 

Place 2 Warhorns at the entrance to collect the Fury.
And use Emma's third skill. That's the easiest way I think.

 

Early game I just take every trap and place them around entrance tiles. I also take decent battle rooms (panic, excess, sloth, amplify etc) and only open around enough eggs to fill my battle rooms. I take every monster with Mystic One or if it is a combo piece for the special monsters. I rarely ever combine random monsters, only to get certain skills (mostly Mystic one). I also do not enhance myself unless it will give me a decent amount of levels (10+).. so usually not until later in the game. I always kind of have a strategy that I want to try out or a certain dungeon setup that I want to work towards, so early game is all about finding these components of special upgrade rooms or about finding and leveling up hatcheries for me. The no relic thing is really a pain and if I remember correctly, I did not get all the relics until around floor 600. Pray that you get her tail accessory relic at a reasonable floor because it essentially doubles the speed of your fury stacking. Early game I literally just spam the 1 mana ability because usually the heroes get to me before I can get a 10 off. If they start to really clump in my room, I switch to 4.

This is my current trial 10 setup. About half monsters and half traps/facilities. Personally I am not a big fan of warhorn with the multiple dungeon entrances, but that may just be me. One necropolis in the front with two weak minions to die quickly and give everyone immortality. Rest is pretty self-explanatory. At one point half my dungeon was hatcheries, but eventually I had to override them for more space for battle rooms and traps. Bigger Fight rooms were helpful early game and easy to make, but later on my minions would die too quickly and I had to replace the rooms with Necropolis. Honestly, I think Emma is one of the best dark lords for the trials. It is possible to have success with her so try out a lot of different strategies until you can find something that works.

 

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Finally did it!!!!!
Not with Emma though

With this setting...
Thanks for everybody’s suggestion!

 

I can easily get to room 500 on any difficulty with any lord except for Trial 10. I tried 3 different lords multiple times and can't get past 120.

I've tried heavy trap builds, 50/50 trap/battle rooms and heavy battle room builds.. all fail, usually around day 80 and to my surprise often on a normal battle, not elite or boss. *shrug*

 

Yeah, same here.
I tried lots of combination.
My lords arent’ to lvl 15 yet.
Some new skills are game changers I think.
We’ll see!

Oh! And after quite severalssssssssssssss games. I can assure there is a certain randomness that makes better start 0-100.
Sometimes by lvl 100 I’m already confident. And sometimes I guess the monster/rooms rng is just not on my side.

I like to think there is always a good decision to be made and that you can be successful on every run if you play it smart. But I’m not sure of that

 

Finally passing day 1000, nyan bless me! So sad it's just trial 6. I will try harder difficulty after this run with another strategy (maybe with another Dark Lord too).
