Good question. Pretty sure I used Rian to buff strip. At least that was part of it.


@Mods I've suggested this before, but please pass it along to devs again:

Anywhere it shows you what your best time/fewest turns was for a stage, you should be able to click it and see what team you used to get that best time.

Yup ill pass it along again.

I'm lucky to have Supreme Elhain. She's my only really good high elf damage dealer, but she's *really* good at it.

Ill probably need to build her at some point.  I keep hearing she smacks and im light on HE damage dealers.

how did you pass tis Jingwon level. Its c_ock blocking me on many others stages as well lol

Your options are kinda limited to one shot at least the Jingwan before they get a turn, or run double Crowd Control.  I had to use double CC a bunch.  Pop his passive on a single enemy and then CC the rest of the wave.

Thanks. This is what im looking for

 Forgot about those 2 completely.  Now how about lizards... 😆 


Lizards is brutal for me.  My damage dealers are nonexistent.  Ramamtu completely locking things down does help quite a bit though.

Who are y'all using for Dark Elves.  No matter who I try, I cannot pass the Boss on L14.  

Aphidus on alt beats all 21 stages lol

Haven't tried 14 since 1st attempt on main failed 

Need to comb the vaults...

Yes, she was a fusion.  I do have Supreme Elhain. She is built, but not booked, and is all I really have for strong HE damage.  I love Jingle Hunter, but he isn't gonna cut it for high Hard FW.

IIRC, Mithrala, Rian, Rae, Luria & Lydia. Double CC with a buff stripper.  

That is also the freeze wave, so I know I used Rae & Luria together.  Only managed to get 2 stars.

The waves are pretty easy on 14. That boss is just annoying... i probably just need to gear swap on a nuker some merciless

Did Lizards 21 tonight. Had to bench Ba Satha in favor of Pythion #2 because I needed triple Revive.  Not auto-friendly, and the Shadowkin Wave 2 is tricky, but it is repeatable.  Once at the Boss with everyone alive with shields up from Sulfuryion, it'll finish on auto.

i

I can't get past that Shadowkin wave on Demons though.  Maybe if I had a second Duchess...

So annoying that you can't check your teams if you've used all your keys already.


Pretty sure I used Duchess, Kymar, Karnage, Cheshire Cat and Lamasu   ...unless i swapped someone out for Helicath


Key for wave 2 was starting over RNG'ing until Karnage landed his block passives, block actives and spread them.


1*d it; Duchess died on the 2nd last turn, was way over the turn limit to get 3* anyway


I think that's the only faction I've beaten 21 on, reached it on a couple others, but not beaten

Demonspawn should be full auto with 1 duchess, maybe not 100%. Can't check who i used... ugh.

Starting a spreadsheet for fw now 😆

For Demons, I was using Lamasu, Duchess, Kymar, Karnage and I've tried a few in the last spot.  Cannot ever get past the Shadowkins.

I don't have Chesire Cat.  I know I tried Sicia, Tyrant & Umbral.

Pretty sure I used helicath in last spot. I don't even have a preset for demonspawn so maybe a build issue on one of champs? Ill pay attention next week and test some different 5ths for ya if you remind me :)

Yes I need to pass this feedback along.  No reason we shouldn't at least be able to look at Factions that aren't open.

Ill have to start building actual farm teams out too.  Got most factions to that point.

Also if you could edit/adjust saved teams even if you're out of keys.

Like if I complete a run and decide I should tweak whichever, I have to write it down to remind me later when keys reset. Or a clustermate asks me about my settings and I can't check or screenshot.


And more saved team slots for dungeons!
