You should 6 star Tallia - Use Tallia to Solo Brutal Campaign.

I started 27 days ago and just completed brutal 3 stars yesterday.  My suggestion would be level up your main champ to 60, fully ascend him and put good lifesteal gear and another set like ATK or critcal rating.  It will be your best investment.  I have my Kael with lifesteal and crit all level 16.  Paired up with a decent healer (ie...warpriest), they can pretty much bulldoze through brutal. Where's your Warpriest btw??

I noticed you have all lifesteal on Galek...Lifesteal is a 4 piece set, so having 2 additional pieces doesn't give you any additional benefits.  It's pretty much a waste since you can put a two piece set and get that set's bonus.  My suggestion would be to swap out the gauntlet and boots to critical rating with the following primary stats:  Gauntlet with crit rating and boots with speed.  From your pictures above, your crit rating and speed are very low.  Those are two very important stats for attackers.  Crit for more damage when attacking and speed for more times the champ can strike.  

Thanks for the comments all! 

I've just got enough gems to purchase the 11 ancient shard pack, going to wait a bit and see if any sales/double chance comes up before getting them.

Nick - I chose/kept Galek for aesthetic more than anything else really. Just don't want to be completely hampered. I'd like to keep him around for dungeons/arena I think.

Player J - contemplating Talia as she's my only epic attack with AOE (besides Dark Athel, but I've heard she's not worth it). I have 4 x 4* champs ready to go if i decide that. 

Daniel - I've got lifesteal and offense (chest [accuracy, just what I had, only other one with anything decent is a 2* common with attack %]  and gloves [attack %]). 

I was trying to farm the hard stage with crit gear for my bonekeeper, but just was not getting any luck with main stats. I read somewhere that at some stage you can choose the stats you get on your gear? I thought that would be too good to be true.

My warpriest is sitting there on 30, I was going to use apothecary as my main healer but seem to be getting too many magic heroes in my roster. Got Cardinal from a void shard just yesterday as well, any thoughts on her effectiveness? I seem to be getting decent enough support champs but need a big hitter.

I've just cleared brutal stage 2, and working my way through stage 3 at the moment. Have a double xp buff at the moment so getting some food up. Might just have to stick with the grind and get ready what I need to 6* whoever I eventually chose.

Hello LUPERKALEL

A great strategy to clear campaign at 3 star till brutal is by using sustain focused champions, such as Jizoh. The cool thing about jizoh is that he can even work at lvl 50. 

try to run him with life steal and resist set, so he can solo it, or you can run him with executioner for the defence aura and double counter, zelotah as a second champion is also a great option


hope that helps

You can't choose the stats, they are random.  I wish it was that easy but than everybody would have good stats.  

Farming is repetitive and boring but thanks to auto, I just click and do something else.  Eventually you can get the stats you want.  Honestly though, the artifacts through the campaign are not that great.  I would try to farm the dungeons, events or tournies.  They have better artifacts with higher rarirty, which will give you better substats.  

Lifesteal is great. They've definitely saved my Kael many times.  But remember, the heal is based off of damage and if you have a good percentage of crit rating, you can do a lot of damage.  My Kael has crit % on his gloves and on a lot of other artifacts' substats.  He currently has a crit rate of over 80% with a decent amount of crit damage.  Every time he crits, he's doing some serious damage and also, giving himself a good amount of heal.  

Warpriest is not the best healer, but she has been enough for me to 3* brutal.  I pumped her HP up to 40K with decent amount of defense and speed, and she has been there side by side with Kael blessing his weapon and healing both of them haha.
