I can't get past the depths 1. I am getting overwhelmed so fast >>. I have slash and Merida yup to 2 stars. Any tips?? Also can't get past 20 kills in the area either.... Also with that I am in with the toucharcade but there is also I toucharcade1 so confusing.
I was getting overwhelmed at Courtyard 1 a couple of days back. I managed to get past that and eventually Depths, by devoting my gems to upgrade the powerups in the "Shop" section. As of now I have no player at level 2, but make it past Depths 1 without problem. I think the buffs upgrade makes a hell of a difference.
You can try using perks for Attack and Health, maybe Speed too if you get the hang of it. Perks stay active in one playthrough so you don't have to pay for them again if you retry or get to another stage. You should also be aggressive like, when your "snake" is long enough, just run head first into any enemy you target. No, really. Toucharcade1 is intended to be a smaller and less conpetitive guild for players. It doesn't turn out to be exactly what it's meant to be, too many people join. For Arena well, level up a few more guys to make sure you can last long enough.
If you have all the power ups fully leveled, then you should have all the characters at level 1 at least. Level 2 just makes it easier. Get a couple folks to level 2 and then spend more time chasing the enemies than waiting for them to attack. Personally the bomb dude, Gizmo is a great choice for lead. But whomever you use, you need to be in tune with their strengths and weaknesses. Go for any freeze/bomb powerup drops. Those are the key to getting a nice break from the onslaught of enemies. ... hmmm... also, run away. Keep your distance from the enemies best you can. There are some pretty big swarm moments where it'll be impossible to stay at a safe distance so you need to have as few casualties as possible. Oh and yeah, use the power ups before the level. Get the health & hit rate and if your snake is less than full, up your numbers so you'll have a better chance at blowing past that level and forest 2.
One question. I'm on a guild and it was on top ten when they updated the scoreboard and me and my girlfriend got some 40 tokens as a reward. But a friend of mine in the same guild as ours didn't get any token as reward. Is there any requirements for someone on a guild to receive the tokens?
I've been playing consistently in portrait mode since I started with NQ, but I've noticed a fair number of people have said they go landscape. Is there any really appreciable difference between the two, or is it mostly aesthetic?
Actually the flaw still stands unfortunately. There is no gem sink at all, so after you level all items and characters then that's it. Consumable items would be one obvious solution. So many possibilities!
I think you have to be in the top 30 to get the tokens. The first week though it was the top 100. They've been tweaking the formula. Basically though if you aren't in the top 30 of your guild then it's time to change guilds. The guild isn't something in this game that you need to be loyal to since even for a first place guild, if you are outside of the small group that gets the big coins... you get nearly nothing... and it seems to be true for a bigger guild. It's like they split the remaining coins amongst all the remaining players. Also, this game on occasion crashes it's GC connection. So if you don't see the GC banner roll down when you open the app then you need to force it closed then re-open it. Without the gc connection you shouldn't get anything. The arenas are all the same length as height. Personally I play in landscape most of the time because I prefer to move side to side. In portrait it's just too short a distance for side to side movement IMO. Also having played the awesome game that inspired Nimble bit to copy it (Call of Snakes), I'm used to playing in landscape for this kind of game. Not to go all Cliff Claven... but it's been proven that the human eyes do better job focusing on a long image rather than a tall one. It makes sense... our eyes are in landscape mode already... so it's easier to focus on the action in that orientation. Well there's still leveling the characters up. Getting the 111,000 gems for each character to go from it's base mode to 3 star mode is a lot of work. I'm talking around 5 or 6 hours of playtime. So gems are not useless after you upgrade the items... it's barely the beginning of their uses in the game. I think it would be nice to be able to convert gems to coins or coins to gems... but I doubt they'd implement something. Maybe they'll add some other consumable items or another level of upgrading.
Fully upgrade all items especially attack, bomb and ice. At least Blaze and Gizmo reached 1star, better for Gizmo to reach 2stars for his 50% attack range. They will do really great when you get the attack speed boost while playing. Same goes for Arcane. If you want, try using swiftness buff to run faster. It really helps to outrun the bats from bumping your snake line. If it still difficult, try using another hero lead. I used Ulrich 2stars as a lead followed by Bones and Uther. It's a pretty good combination. Boomey also great. As for the current arena (the enemy is like Ulrich) I think it will be hard unless you get all the heroes reached 2stars at least. Try using long range attack heroes as a lead like Boomey or Arcane. First I got 139 kills. Now with my Hydra already reached 3stars I manage to get 241 kills. The key is still getting the attack speed boost, bombs and ice. And a bit of luck Very agree. Without any buffs I only get to Courtyard 2, with all heroes reached 2stars. But when I try using all buffs I manage to get straight all the way to depths 2, still pretty hard though.
I was meaning characters as well, true it will take a while but eventually gems will be completely pointless. What about people who pay cash to max all their characters? It's pretty likely that they are the same people who would continue to buy gems as long as there are things to spend them on.
This is Nimblebit, I'm sure they will update the game with a gem sink soon enough. Btw I just unlocked Ezora. Well, this one is kinda meh. After being upgrade to lv2 she's still hardly useful.
TouchArcade2 and TouchArcade3 are real yes It would be funny to try to get TouchArcade to fill all top 10 slots. Oh, and it would probably help a lot of people out if you could scroll down. That way you could see you the full list of guilds and decide which one you would want to join.
Ha, well, that 322 right above theirs is mine. I don't have any guys at level 3 nor claim to be any good at this darned game, so I know they can do better than I did.
Seen a few people asking for tips. 1. I usually choose my main hero as a melee, like Bones. 2. I then focus on ensuring my main is at 3 stars and 2 star the other keys (Gizmo, etc) and also have everyone with at least 1 star. 3. If you have the coins then I'd suggest if you're trying for a high score run you enable Speed, Attack and Health. 4. With Snake mechanics the key is to slither when you get overwhelmed. Stay in the middle, ignore most drops unless key to advancement. And just slither in box formation when it gets nuts. 5. Since you can't control the hero order as they drop you'll have to just wing it but I find if I have a 2nd melee and then casters in the middle with Gizmo at the end it's a pretty formidable chain. The longer the chain the more damage but the more apart your slithers will have to be. So the difficulty ramps up but you can sure clear faster. 6. Don't worry too much about coins for Arena/Replay. Once you get a bit deeper they drop more frequently on most games I play I get roughly 3-5 per. As mentioned previously, GC seems to be a bit wonky and since the game revolves around your high score ensure the banner appears on entering the game. If not, reboot it.
Ah thanks for all the tips XD I have already upgraded everything in the shop and used some of the left overs to get some of my favs up to two star. Guess I jut have to keep grinding away Also if you skip a level can you ever skip it again. The option is taken out of one run that I used it on??
