    I'm just starting out and haven't had much time to play, but the time I have spent has shown me that this is an excellent and deep though accessible game. I hope to gets more attention and a bigger community over time!

    Yes, my gold doubler ended sooner yesterday, too. I thought I still had 5-6 hrs to refresh, but it was expired as I checked.

    How do the totems work on hero cards? Do I match the colour of the totem to the card or to the skill? For example, to use Coward (a blue skill to switch out your card) on a red hero, do I need to give it a red totem or blue totem?

    I have tried both of these on seperate heroes and have had both of them not work at times. Can one of the cards being turned to dust have an impact on the skills?

    if the card is turned to dust it is no longer an element and cannot use the bonus elemental activations. for example if i gave borgia na a fire totem and another activated ability if she used dust storm she would no longer be fire an unable to use the bonus activation granted by fire totem. if my opponent turned her to earth with overgrowth this would also keep her from using the fire totem bonus activation.

    Thanks. I think that's a poor design decision. Is t explained anywhere or was this a trial and error discovery? What a waste of cards, but more money for them I guess.

    Could you also confirm which totem I would need to activate a blue skill on a red hero?

    Did you allow the game to send you Push notifications?

    But this would make a huge gap between more and less experienced players... The gold you earn depends entirely on whether you win or lose in a duel. The rewards are exactly the same for all players. You can increase your income though by using Gold Doubler (which can be unlocked for free), through card lottery and referral system (proteges) - the more people you invite to the game and the more they play, the bigger rewards you get.

    Additional skill activation works with cards of a certain element and not with a certain skill.

    For example: You have an additional activtion for Fire (red). If you have a Water card and change it's element into Fire, then you'll be able to activate additional skill from this card. But if the enemy changed your Fire card into Dust, Water or Earth, then you won't be able to use this additional Fire activation.

    I was unable to use my Mirrorgaze's Intimidate skill here, despite having two available water activations. Was this just a bug? It led me to create my next hero with a different totem, which is of course now useless!

    EDIT: My image didn't work

    No, I normally keep those turned off for everything (I find them annoying), however, I will turn it on when I get the next doubler.

    Sure I understand. Then perhaps you could consider offering bonus gold on top of the 1000 proportional to the difference in levels between you and your opponent. For example an extra 50 gold for every level your opponent is higher than you.

    The problem is that levels don't tell the whole story a Lvl 10'vs a level one for a example, the level one could have spent a thousand dollars and have better cards, so why should he be rewarded more for beating a player with worse cards than him, I think a. Better way is to have a power rating and base it of that


    Also follow my wikia

    Earthcore-shatter-elements.wikia.com

    I'm going to update it a lot now

    How about adding options for multiclass characters?

    For example, if you wanted to be a fighter/mage, you'd get -1 risk to both fighter and mage cards instead of the usual -2 for a single class.

    Is it possible to use two skills on a hero card in one turn if you have an additional skill activation? Also is it possible to use the extra skill activation first if it matches a colour of the card you're trying to use it on and then use the turn skill activation second?

    Could you send the screenshot to [email protected]? We'll have a closer look on it.

    The reminder is sent via a push message, so that's why you didn't get one :)

    This would have a tremendous impact on game's balance. We consider adding more factions in the future but not a multiclass. Instead you can always switch your faction and optimize your deck accordingly.

    Yes, it's possible to use two skills from one hero card if you have an additional skill activation for a proper element. And no, it's not possible to use additional activation before the standard skill activation.

    Can you elaborate on how this would affect game balance in a tremendous way? Currently, there is nothing preventing multi-class builds. Whatever class you choose gives you a -2 to risk for cards of that class. This is a minor advantage that can win you a close game from time to time.

    My suggestion was to allow multi-class builds, providing a -1 risk for cards from each class. In general, this will result in more damage to your player as (I believe) most builds are heavily balanced to use cards from one side, and so receive a lot of -2 risk bonuses over the course of a game.

    My idea promotes deck diversity in a game genre that often gets bogged down in copycat deck types. I'm not a game designer so I can't possibly know as much about the depth of this game as you guys, but I'd love to hear from you as I really think my idea has some merit.

    I was unable to play with the same game save on both my phone and ipad, so I chose the in-game option to save my progress to Game Center. I then had to reopen the app on my ipad, where I had all of my progress already.

    The game told me I was already logged into gamecenter or something to that effect. The only option I had at the game's suggestion was to reinstall the app. I did so, and all of my progress is gone. How do I get it back?

    Played through the tutorial again, created a new user name, and it's giving me the same gamecenter message saying I'm logged in already or something to that effect. Can't even play right now. Ugh.

    Keep getting drawn against level 40-60 players. Lost about 7 games in a row now (I'm level 25). I'm not quite sure how I'm supposed to progress when I'm not even getting drawn with players akin to my own level.

    It's all very frustrating- almost to the point where I'm thinking of saying my goodbyes and moving on to the next game.

    Hello,

    where could I find some strategy discussions?
    For instance:
    • Do people usually stick to cards from a single class?
    • Do you use 3 colors, or are bi-color decks doable?

    I have just started the game and I am finishing the second campaign. I will soon have 32K gold to buy a booster pack, but I am still unsure how to optimize my deck. Things have been going better since I have started playing Lake Master more. At first, I played Vampire a lot, but used 3 of them to craft a hero, but he is not very successful so maybe I should have refrained from doing so.

    Thanks!
