Ok. This is her now with the best I have. No chest and gauntlets because I have none with the suggested stats. 

Crud. Sorry.

Yea. Umm. I lost on level 18 or 19. But won too. So I can't win consistently on level 19 for sure. I did win 20. Yay!! And yeah. She's not fully uparaded gear. How does she do it?

I have over 1000 gems. I can unlock all her masteries. But which masteries to use for her?

I plan to get coins to upgrade the gear she has now to level 16. I know some is t Gregor now. But want to level 16 all she has now unless I find something better. 

I edited my last post to say you might find that stage easier, but it looks like you already beat it.

Now, I'd recommend farming that stage for a while, since you are always guaranteed to get minimum 5 star items. It might be worth trying to get Duchess in all speed set items, once you get stuff with the right stats. 

The faster she gets, the harder it will be to kill your team, which means you can try to clear harder content.

Dont worry too much about upgrading her current items if you can already clear stage 20. Maybe take her items to lvl12 if they are below that, and get her a banner and amulet when you can.

Try to get her fully equipped in speed set items like i said in my previous post, then upgrade those to 16. Remember to get the right primary stats with suitable substats.

As for masteries, I'd suggest looking at Ayumilove site, or ask someone else here for advice. I dont have that champ unfortunately. But I would certainly like to have her.

Also, it might help even more if she is your leader for Dragon runs. I'd prefer speed over HP anyday, but it depends on how much damage you take in the runs.

Perhaps give it a try.

Personally, I think the Kael is okay as he is. Is there room for improvement there? Sure, but it's not going to make a huge difference right now.

My recommendation would be to get Duchess to 6 stars. Give her the absolute best items you can for speed and HP. This alone should make it possible for you to clear Dragon, Ice Golem and Fire Knight up to lvl20, and then you can farm some better gear in general. Even if you say you have crap gear right now, give her the best you can. Speed boots, and HP% gloves, and as many speed/HP% substats as possible on the other items. Chestplate can be either HP% or resist for now.

Once you can farm those levels, your next goal should be to get all items on those listed champs to a minimum of 5 star purple gear or better, with the recommended stats for each type of champ.

If you want advice on what stats are best for those other champs, thats no problem - but I recommend building Duchess first. Prioritize one thing at a time. People aren't messing around when they say she will change the game for you and make things easier.

Aim for 200+ speed and 40k or 50k hp to begin with, that shouldn't be hard. Later on you will want to get those stats much higher, but those amounts are pretty easy to start off with. If you can get her some decent resist too, that will be helpful.

If you have legendary books, use them on Duchess before any other champ until she is done. Even if you don't she's probably still your most useful champ. You can't really lose if the enemy cant kill you.

So do I just do dragon 20 and put good gear on my dragon team champs? I've won every time now but no good gear. And I haven't done 20 much. 

I want to defeat 20 much faster. Over 4 minutes is just too long.
