I agree, I prefer playing this game on my iPhone. I like how my hands fit around the game screen and I can reach everything with my thumbs easily.
Yes please FM... I'd like to know what skills work under what conditions. I have a few skills I can't tell if they're doing anything. Even if you just list here the passives with unlisted restrictions, we could probably get that on the wiki or something, but eventually that should be stated in the skill descriptions.
So Quickstrike doesn't work with bows? Glad to know before I used a skill point. Stinks though, because I'm building a ranger, they should have grandmaster skills that help ranged heroes too
You can always play history levels - they don't count as using a day when you replay them. If you surrender then it counts as a loss. When you lose a main mission, it makes one of your other lands currently under attack go up in difficulty rating (or forces a land to be under attack if none are currently). Its more like a soft penalty. Yeah, nothing we can do about that short of completely removing iCloud. Part of the balance fixes in the next update... it still could be OPed though in this next update. Admittedly we had to get this update faster then we would've liked because we needed to fix the crashing. The next update right after this one will have a lot more stuff in it, including the ability to stun and slow invulnerable units (so you could counter a juggernaughted knight with elven archers, various skills, ice mages, etc). Yeah we'll make it more clear... right now the only passives that don't work with ranged weapons I think are offensive stance and runesmiths charge attack.
I tested Quickstrike for a while against a blocking shield skeleton and couldn't hit him. Maybe I just had very bad luck, but 3 out of 4 hits should be easy to get. And Cleave absolutely didn't work with a magic bow, see some posts above. Weakspot definitely works though, you can see it by fighting the mummies in Wave 30. They have 25 ARM, and damage gets indeed increased by 25. Everything seems to be multiplied correctly with critical damage and the Ranger's +75% critical damage skill. By the way it looks like the +75% is just added to the normal 3x critical damage, making it 3.75x. Didn't know that before - I assumed it would add up to 5.25 (3*1.75).
FS: any chance even lower graphic settings can be added down the line? I know iPad 3 is older, but some levels the frame rate drops to a slide show, even with everything on low and off. Thanks!
So apparently high level rangers 1 shot the crystal using lvl 3 Barrage. Literally 1 arrow. It takes about 2 seconds to do wave 29. And it only takes that long because that's how long the arrow takes to get there. The issue is the fact that every arrow gets the 500% damage bonus, not just the initial arrow. So you essentially have 41 arrows doing 6x damage each. If you do 20 damage to a crystal normally, this gives you 41 arrows that'll each deal 120 damage to the crystal...
Yeah, going from level 40 to 99 took about 3 hours, most of it navigating through menus. Never mind the fact that you get 1 crystal per "battle". I'd wager I can do it in ~2 hours if I wasn't preoccuppied doing other stuff at the same time, oh and I made quite a few trips to the blacksmith too. So basically low level elves should max heightened senses and lob arrows over the wall, investing the rest of your points into bow damage skills: sniper, weapon master, and critical are the only ones that affect the crystal. Once you gain access to barrage, respec to skill that. Then it's happy farming. There's also 0 risk of dying with this method.
how I can finish last achievement (Destroy the enemy castle with only this hero) ?? I tried but it didn't counted
Just got to that battle myself, after conquering that tough Wave 30. The Enemy Castle battle seems pretty tough.
That achievement description should be clearer then. I (and haralali) thought that you can get it by destroying any castle/outpost.
the Castle in Wave 30 !!? I thought siege attacking to take another land and destroy there building It seems i will not going to do it soon
There is no Castle in wave 30. You will unlock the Keep (Scarwood Keep is the name iirc) after you have conquered all the lands.
Just spam knights and catapults until it's over. You only need two knights to keep everything occupied and maybe a priest or elven healer. Then all the catapults will destroy the base without too much of a fuss.
You cant summon anything to unlock the final achievement, so the best strategy is to rush the wall with you support spells (knight, grandmaster) or in other classes, just get a high damage bow for some cheap shots.
For anyone that's on Facebook and is interested, there's now a Facebook group called "Heroes & Castles Community" if people want to get together and play co-op or anything else.
To the guy who said that Elf Warriors are OP, I definitely agree. All I did from wave 10 to 25 is spawn elf warriors, use the Warrior Path research, get one pathfinder and that's pretty much it. They just breeze trough enemies and trough walls ridiculously fast. I cast a healing spell here and there and try to stun larger enemies for them. I spend most of the waves waiting for new enemies to spawn. Their only weakness are disruptive enemies combined with armored enemies.
