Could it be added to the bottom of his hero description? I think new players that haven't bought him yet will have no idea what focus or overload does.
2 Questions: 1) Are the cards and relics in Shop Packages unlockable in-game or only as IAP purchases? 2) If I take the option to exit at the end of a stage do I bank whatever gold my character still had on hand?
Ok. We will do it. Packages and cards in shop cannot be unlock in-game. If you take the option of leave after a boss battle, your "coins" will be lost for the next journey.
So there is no advantage to quitting while ahead? Would I earn more loot if I exited after defeating a boss or pressing forward to the next stage and immediately dying?
Well you save your time to get more powerful deck next time at least, if I think my deck is not enough to defeat the final boss of the episode, I would just quit after killing the second boss. I don’t think you can get more rewards if you died in the mid-game, since the ultimate goal is to kill the final boss of the episode.
If you beat the first boss and quit, you will get 100 gold. But if you go to stage 2 and die, you will get less than 100 gold.
If you beat the third boss, you will get 520 gold( 1040 if you bought the booster), much more than going back after the first boss( 100 gold) or the second boss( 220 gold). So I never choose to go back, just be confident and continue.
I think at this moment everything can be earn using the in game gold except the admiral character which is a one time purchase. I happily put down the cash for it because I enjoyed the game so much that I wanted to support the dev. Now we have received the first expansion/extension to the game via new hero and the chance to purchase several new packs (again obtainable via in game gold). Like other have pointed out earlier, as long as you have defeated a boss, you are given a chance to either press on or quit. I usually press on but I think the smarter choice would be to weight your option based on your current deck & relics and see if you are confident enough to proceed or just secure the current gold and loot then start anew.
if i quit after beating a boss, do i keep the relics and cards for that character for my next run? or are they only unlocked via the xp bar at the end and can appear or not randomly in the game?
Some cards are waiting for you to find them through adventures, you will find them eventually, some cards are locked so you need to unlock them first. When you quit the game after beating a boss, you don’t take them to the next run, but you can find them through shops and events randomly, some special relics seems like event-only by the way.
also with the Swordmaster, the relic that gives you 6 armor at the start of combat and the relic that gives you armor every time you use a card are both not working.
Oh, too bad, I was hoping stuff like that was randomized as I HATE any encounters in a game that boil down to simply memorizing the right answer.
Because he can’t use armor, so if you took cards/relics that give you armor when you play Sword Master, just remove/sell them later.
