It's really tough to say, since no one has a full set yet. The F2P mechanics are rearing their head a bit and preventing anyone from getting a good idea of what's best. That being said, a really strong strategy among the basic characters is using Stormwalker's Tempest, which stuns all enemies with 8 HP or lower. You have to build your team around getting this to activate, but if you do it effectively wins the game on its own.
It FINALLY let me update (I'm in the US) and I'm still crashing in the arena. This game is really hampered by the energy system. It's the only card battle game I've seen that does that.
Contemplating of buying the Starter pack but it seems like the Owl is not part of the current Meta - Wind Druid.
It was broken until the patch last night. It wouldn't attack. Now it does, so that will likely change. If I recall from the battle I had with someone who used it, it attacks everyone in the opponent's party for like 2 damage a turn.
Account lost, need help with retrieval!!!!! please help! So I like many others was having trouble downloading the latest patch a couple nights ago. I thought perhaps reinstalling MavenFall would help but unfortunately since reinstalling, I can't retrieve my account from MavenFall due to a "no account link to Gamecenter" prompt. I was wondering if anyone else had a similar problem? I've emailed MavenFall support and am eagerly waiting a reply, but this is disconcerting because although I did not spend any money on this account, had I invested in this game then this problem would be more than an annoyance, it would translate into a loss of value for me as a customer. I really like this game, but losing more than a dozen hours of progress would be enough to turn me away from an otherwise fun game. Any assistance from devs or the community would be appreciated!
Unfortunately I didn't know the game required me to manually do that. I didn't even know that button existed until after losing my account. I was under the impression that the game recorded my progress and linked my account info to the game servers in the same way it records my ranked play status. I got a reply from support, they seem capable of helping, but I'm waiting on a final reply on my account recovery. I started playing the game less than a week ago, hence the lack of familiarity with the settings menu.
So i give up on this. I REALLY liked it and I liked the quests the idea, the quality of the game, but it is way to frustrating to lose your progress to crashes. A reconnection mechanic like hearthstone is mandatory in games like this especially for mobile. Was great fun while it lasted. :/
So annoyed. Have a "Do 35 damage in one turn" quest. Usually rather difficult to pull off for me. But I manage it. I get to the point I just have the time guy and the storm guy left. I use the 0 mana cost spell to deal 3 damage to the time guy to gain mana. I get up to 2 mana. At this point, I have 2 of the 6 cost mana spells that does 6 damage + additional based on how many hits I've taken with the storm guy. It does 18 now. I use it twice. 36 damage total. ...and I don't get credit. :/
I have zero crashes when playing on my iPhone 5c, but if I try to play on my iPad mini I crash like 1 out of 3 games. The update hasn't fixed it. It wouldn't be so bad if there was a reconnect mechanic like you suggested. I'm sticking up with it because it's so fun and doesn't crash on my iPhone, but I always feel bad getting victories against disconnects. What's the point of the countdown timer if people can't reconnect???
I've similarly had issues with disconnects post update, which has definitely started to become frustrating. Though I've also encountered issues with the song maiden's heal trap, where a hero killed by the same attack that triggered the trap will allow me to continue using and drawing cards of the 'dead' maven.
Does anyone know if the Field Reaper +500% event will be replaced with a different Maven when it runs out in 2 days? I'm not really a fan of the Reaper, so I wouldn't mind waiting 2 days to spend my 900 gems (or whatever I have by then) on an increased chance on a different maven. But if it won't be replaced, I'd rather spend it on an increased chance on any maven than none.
We're switching to a new rare maven next week. For any crash or disconnect, we are tackling each one one at a time - and every update will get better than the previous. Thank you TA members for your patience. steve
UPDATE: Mavenfall support helped me out and resolved the issue with my lost account. They restored my lost progress and I got to keep my old username too!
This game is good but it's to hard to get packs of cards, dust is just non existent and the other heroes are to hard to get.
Very frustrating!! Game keeps crashing during ranked play! I can't complete the daily challenges and it's costing me stamina to join the queue
Think I'm gonna hold off until the robot lady is the rare maven with +500%. xD She looks like the one with the more useful skills. Or one of the other ones. Can't remember which one. xD There's 2 Mavens that look nice that I'll hold onto my gems until they're the +500% one. Lol. And out of curiosity, why is dust so hard to get? We need a lot to unlock the dust mavens, but I can't figure out how you get more other than ranking up? Do you get more by getting cards from gold/gem draws that you're already maxed from?
The more I play, the more I realize: The gem mavens are realllly useless unless you pay a lot. The fact they have no level up skills really hampers their effectiveness. They essentially only have 1-2 skills unless you get REALLY lucky. :/ You really should add level up skills, or the ability to purchase ONE of each of their skill cards for gold after you unlock them.
