I usually put at least $4 into NimbleBit games. This is the first time I haven't. I saw the lack of achievements and it just felt like an unfinished game to me. Though, if they ever change their mind about them, I'm game.
KILLSCREEN bump Just heard about this from KILLSCREEN...they got the KILLSCREEN bump. Got it today and looking forward to playing tonight!
Great, getting weirder and weirder, now I even can skip the arena! I skipped using 10 tokens and got 825 kills from the start, heroes added also. The title still is Arena 1 though. No wonder recently there are some on TA who scored 700 up to 1200, maybe because of this. Now I managed to scored 1075 for TA guild. As for the quest, I try to skip as far as possible, and got to Depths 9. But after I skip it, suddenly my screen becomes all black. I quit, re-open, and continues from Forest 10 but half of the screen is black. It's not a crash, I still can play and add heroes but cannot use buffs or skip. So that's far as I can go, Forest 10 with over 30000 kills. It's definitely something wrong with this 1.0.2 version. Nimblebit, you should fix this with the next version update, soon!
I'm pretty certain my Arena is not skippable. But I will have a look again later, to make sure. Had an idea for a Pacman cherry-like drop. Pick it up and you can kill enemies by just running into them. Kinda like God mode I suppose. That could be a fun change of pace to break the monotony.
Just to add to the Arena stats. In the last two runs: I was #5 in guild #36 and got 20 tokens. I was #7 in guild #40 and got 20 tokens.
I was #1 in guild #1273 or so; I got 10 tokens. Same thing last one as well. A thought regarding Arena mode: if you haven't unlocked the character, you should still be allowed to play in Arena mode as if it were a 0-star character. My son hasn't unlocked much yet, and is disappointed that he can't compete in those rounds.
Well tell him he's not missing much this time. It's bloody hard to get a high score over 200 kills with a lv2 Gurzog. WHY MUST WE LEAD WITH GURZOG? HE CAN'T HIT A DARN THING IN FRONT OF HIM >:|
I play on my MacBook iOS X. My GC is CH1215TOP. Anyway, being ranked #1 in #1 guild arena also get 40 tokens. Since it's the same prize as top 30 within this #1 guild, no need to exert ourself to score the highest, just maintain the score between 300-400, would be likely ranked top 30 in #1 guild and got 40 tokens. Gizmo's 3stars explosion on death is surely helps to boost the kill score. And one more thing, why everyone hates Gurzog? Sure he's sucks attacking from front but great from rear-sides. I've managed to get to Castle2 using him as a leader without any buffs or skip or add hero. Among all meelee heroes, he's the most comfortable hero to play with IMO. And the most hard to play with is Uther. Now my Gurzog is already 3stars just from grinding. Other heroes I still have to pay with some gems to make into 3stars.
I find that having Gurzog in the middle of my train is pretty useful to clear out incoming enemies from the sides. As someone in this thread had pointed out about Uther, if you don't have him as leader then the only position he's useful in is the 2nd spot. The further back in the line he is, the less useful he seems.
When did the app become $0.99? I was just browsing the TA app and saw its price was a dollar now... Nevermind...just looked a few pages back >.<
True. Gurzog and Ember too is great clearing out enemies surrounding our snake line. Ember may be slower than Gurzog but his attack power covers it. And Ember's long range attack version, Bolas, is a pretty good leader also. Even if he just attacks enemies from up front like Uther, he is a long ranged attacker and has a surrounding impact damage. It's kinda a combination hero of Uther, Gizmo and Ember. And other heroes like Uther, Merida, and Kishi following right behind him will become more useful as a supportive heroes. But there is one hero that I find not very useful as a leader nor a support hero, which is Ezora. Her attacks are slow. Sure she has good attack damage and health. I'm trying getting used to playing with her though, while the next arena also urge us to use her as a leader hero.
any suggestions on first level 3 upgrade? I finally have enough crystals to upgrade my first char to level 3. Any suggestions? For reference, here are the level 3 upgrades in order: Ulrich: + 50% armor Merida: + 100% attack range Blaze: + 50% attack range Boomey: +50% bullet speed Bones: +50% attack rate Gizmo: Explosion on Death Uther: Heal on hit Arcane: + 100% attack rate Slash : +50% damage Ember : +25% attack damage Faenel: root on hit Ezora: heal on hit Gurzog: +50% armor Kishi: + 100% attack range Hydra: freeze on hit Bolas: +50% bullet speed I think I'd prefer offence upgrades rather than just armor upgrades, so here's roughly how I would rank them Arcane: + 100% attack rate Slash : +50% damage Ember : +25% attack damage Bones: +50% attack rate Merida: + 100% attack range Blaze: + 50% attack range Boomey: +50% bullet speed Bolas: +50% bullet speed Kishi: + 100% attack range Ulrich: + 50% armor Gurzog: +50% armor Hydra: freeze on hit Faenel: root on hit Ezora: heal on hit Uther: Heal on hit (earlier discussion on how useless uther is in the middle or later of your line) Gizmo: Explosion on Death (1 time effect? no thanks; unless it's like the bombs that occasionally drop that blow up the whole screen) On the other hand, valuing offense over defense may be completely wrong, especially at harder levels.
Gizmo is the last 3stars hero of your list? Well it's true that the explosion is one time only, but it's very useful when you're in a pinch surrounded by overwhelming enemies. Especially on arena. Faenel's Root and Hydra's Freeze help a lot, stopping enemies for 3secs, effective on fast enemies from bumping your snake lines. This is the hero list I already raised to 3stars from 1st to last : Hydra, Arcane, Faenel, Gizmo, Ember, Bolas, Kishi, Blaze, Gurzog, Ezora. The next is Bones, Boomey, Merida, Slash, Ulrich, Uther.
I love leading with a 3 star Faenel; she can lock down the enemies, and that allows the less-accurate characters (Arcane, I'm looking at you) to hit them much easier. (I don't have Hydra yet, I don't know if she'd be better than Faenel.)
Faenel's accuracy is very good. So is Kishis's and Gizmo, who is able to do peripheral damage with his bombs. Arcane is pretty lose with his aims though. They're all over the place.
Freeze and Root both has the same effect. Stop the enemies from moving and attacking for about 3secs, though still can be healed by healers. The differences is Faenel has more speed missile thus better accuracy. What makes Hydra better is her armour and attack damage. But undoubtedly both of them are a great combination to stop the enemies and help other heroes like Arcane and Ezora to target the enemies accurately. Gizmo, Blaze, and Bolas can still hit the enemies by their impact blast, as for Merida, Boomey, and Kishi missile speed are already fast enough. But still, it helps. So far my favourite lead hero are Gurzog, Ulrich, Gizmo, Faenel, and Bolas.
