- Do Daily Tasks! At first they will be almost impossible to accomplish but very soon you will be able to do them with ease.
- When doing the tower run the bosses. Meaning as soon as you find the bosses kill them. You will get the prestige and resources that a regular battle won't give you. If you are trying to gain levels 5.10 is the best level for this. x.10 on each level offer more prestige then the other levels. and Level 5.10 has a boss with no special attack skill.
- don't hesitate to do levels over that you have already done. If you get stuck on a boss go back a level or two and get the experience.
- Use all that stamina! Stamina replenishes with time, it doesn't accumulate past your allotted amount. so you are loosing stamina in you aren't using it!
- When doing the Arena attack right then left until you find someone you can beat. You will gain in the arena faster this way.
- Do the Athena event three times a day! this will get you copper coins as well as green equipment to give you an edge.
- Make sure to check on your Achievements at least once a day! there are several of the achievements that only count up to when you collect then start the counter over and that could mean big losses in Prestige for you!
- Check into Alliance Chat (ac) when you can see if anyone needs help.
- If you are being farmed by a player who you have no hope defending against dump all the resources you can into the alliance contribution. If you have copper coins above your protected limit (listed on your lords page) do the fast gem explore (bottom of gem page) to get rid of it. In this way the player will get bored of the effort and you didn't give them any resources but helped the alliance out a great deal as well as got some good gems.
- if this doesn't make a player back off look for an ally near by. Reinforcing helps very very little if at all. It costs 6k copper to reinforce 5% which isn't very much for the cost.
- Make sure you have your fortifications built. Don't leave gaps in your fortifications, evenly distribute them.
- Keep your extra heros on the wall with 1 catapult each. These troops will be immortal due to the resurrection effects of the wall. This way you will get at least 1 prestige per attack as well as do a little bit of damage at least.
- Training seems to be offering the best experience for the heros. So yes it is worth it!
- Enhancing heros if a bit more iffy, if you plan on rebirthing the hero at some point don't enhance it. I believe the enhancements vanish with the rebirth.
- Equipment is a crucial part of the game it greatly adds to your attack and defense. Don't forget to upgrade it often. Market prices are more then double what it costs to farm the resources in the tower.
- Resource tiles are a must! Your lords level determines how many wilds and strongholds you can have at any given time.
- Doing the Mission tasks is also a great way to gain prestige to help you level up.

Blitz 160
As some of you know I have become leader of the Blitz alliance for the server 160. And I thought I would make a helpful guide for many of our new players. Invite code for server 160 5BO9981192.

Another excellent guide-Thanks. One question though- Why use 1 x4 cat's on the wall? they are most expensive to replace. Would infantry not do the same job?
ReplyDeleteYes Cats are the most expensive to replace but the ones on the wall are invincible. That is 1 troop on each hero will be immortal. Because the wall has a resurrection rate 5% of 1 is still 1. Because you cannot have a fraction of a person.
DeleteThere are different events that determine what you need do when defending your wall. Event like treasure map if they attacker loss some troop, will be able to steal more maps, so don't put anyone on the wall.
ReplyDeleteThere are 2 type of attacking
1. one just for resources, if you can not defend, best way is donate everything to your group
2. one that require they loss some troops, if you can not defend, remove all your troop, they can try to kill their troop by matching your fortifications, but you don't need to help them gaining points.
If you are small, try save moving card and protection card. Anyone in magic tower ahead of you by at least 10 steps can break your wall and if they want can eventually break you. But you can do several counter attack against them in return.
You put troop and fortification to protect you from ride by robbers or lord lvl lower than you.
you can always leave your immortal 4 on the wall. They will loose some troops but not enough to matter with prestige. An attacker will always gain at least 1 prestige weather you defend or not. the defender will only gain prestige if they defend. So it is best to leave your immortal 4 up and at least get 1 prestige per time your attacked. Always use fortifications, each fortification will take out 5 troops so that adds up quickly.
DeleteComment on #7: I rebirthed two heroes and both times it allowed me to retain their enhancements (on version 2.3.13). The 2nd attempt surprised me because I was expecting to lose the enhancements (well both times actually...). More testing to follow on v2.3.14.
ReplyDelete1st: Hero with enhancements rebirthed, base hero destroyed: retained enhancements
2nd: Base hero rebirthed, hero with enhancements destroyed: retained enhancements
I am on server 161! Invite code 5BP9931394
Nice! Thats great to know I've been to chicken to attempt!
DeleteThank you so much for this blog! It has helped me immensely so far. My first hero was on server 160 and I was thinking about heading back to that server to join Blitz. Why have you said it is so hard to level on that server- would you mind going into a bit more detail?
ReplyDeleteThanks again. Great work!
160 uses the new tower system. Where the experience you gain in the tower is leveled. Meaning you gain the same exp per battle on each level. The tower and training are the only places to gain Exp as well. In the old system exp is based on loss and bosses have alot more exp. you also gain exp by taking wilds. So on 160 your heros level much more slowly. Because of this you cannot get as far in the tower where the prestige is higher, nor can you have big prestige battles since nobody has high level heros. So yours heros level slowly as well as your town.
DeleteThere is another way to get copper every day- on the world map, perform the Search option in the lower right corner. Each search gets you a certain amount of copper after a cooldown. Just discovered this today! Haven't seen mention of this yet. Thanks again for the awesome blog!

Thank you for putting this up! I always mean to but abviously keep forgetting.
DeleteI've noticed that doesn't always work. It seems lately you actually have to attack towns, wilds or treasure to actually get the copper coin bonus. Just performing a search isn't enough, at least in my experience anyway.
DeleteA couple corrections/addendums for you:
ReplyDeleteThe hero being rebirthed retains enhanced stats, the hero being sacrificed obviously does not.
On a v4 server 6k copper is a pittance once you're at decent level; and using it to reenforce is a good move; a level 40 who stays up on there SH's can easily generate over 300k copper/day; plenty more if there's people you can farm.
Cats, (and thereby logs) are the best unit and at high levels are often the only unit used. keeping enough traps to not allow free attacks with other units is one thing but most of your traps should be logs. Cavs are commonly used for farming due to their speed.
Regarding heros, the letters they have assigned to each troop type correlate to the following attack bonus:
S +20%
A +15%
B +10%
C +5%
D no change
E -5%
Growth is the hero's most important stat, second is the troop rating on Cats & then their abilities.
Arguably the most efficient tower grinding formation is:
CCC
Ixx
xxx
c= Cats I= Inf & x= empty
Go all cats in arena and in the tower when you are loosing with infantry in your tank spot. Infantry are much cheaper to replace but weaker overall. If your tank isn't getting an attack in before they die move up a row until they are.
Also, save turning in your achievements until the angelic welfare event; whenever you cash it in the next level will always be a percentage range more than your gold; if you wait to cash in on your achievements you can use the gold to get to the next range without buying any.
