I'm assuming it's going to be a struggle just to beat the later stages let alone 3s, so I'll give each a go or 2 then move on.  I didn't finish NM campaign until the mission (Marius or ramantu? ) and that was a little bit easier.   I think getting Marius was the only time I really rushed to getting a "one-time" reward.  I thought it was stupid at the time, never thought he was going to be THAT good.  😆  in retrospective no regrets on that one.  But that was easy, just tons of gems and masterful planning :) 


Makes sense.  Marius is literally game changing everywhere, Polara I suspect will just be a good arena nuker.

Thanks. No idea why I was only thinking about skills and not gear for the FW challenges.  Used a couple of my Sintranos presets and made short work of it.    

Did the Orcs last night using Tuhak & Vrask on manual. Gear would've been much simpler. LOL.

It's just a different approach, to some degree.

I will say I think there's a good argument that the gear swap economy needs to change in a hurry because silver costs are going to be a thing unless we want to be super patient in terms of pushing hard FW.

Really think they are concerned with that? 😆

Okay, whoever came up with demonspawn 9 : kill enemies with bombs

needs to have one of those tiny little firecrackers squeezed under thier toenail and set off.

It's already getting hard on stage 9 for quite a few of my factions. It also seems that the odds are still heavily stacked in favour of rank 4 common glyphs.


I am not a hard-core player like many on this board but I have still been playing for a long time so if I am finding it hard now at this early  , many will be.

Maybe it will seem worth the effort later on, but right now it's a huge amount of time for little return

One way to make it easier would be through LA bonuses i imagine but I went back to one fight a day in LA once I got marius as I loathe the mode.

I wasted 2 hours with shazar and souldrinker, even added in a second unleveled souldrinker. 

Every wave has elva who and the dwarf that passively removes CC. So the most I found to do was use karmage to lock out elvas skills, but the problem then is him counter attacking everyone and killing them instead of the bombs. I gave up eventually and just finished the stage and will come back some day. 

Ive already started skipping stages requiring stun sets and so far first couple bosses I cant kill in under 180 turns. 

I get its ”faction wars HARD" but this early on it seems very rng, unpleasant, and a little overtuned. I even used the great hall and all my champions are well geared.

Yup sets make it much more tolerable.  Not easier, but a  better.

Add in Karnage if youve got him.  Spreading extra bombs around makes it way easier.

Are you still trying to 3* or just pushing ahead on it?  I will see LA bonuses do make it way, way easier.

I figured somewhere between the 1st and 2nd boss it would start to get nasty.  Everything I've seen everyone say seems to be the case.

Yep, I'm using duchess, kymar, karnage, mamalama and souldrinker.

Had a run where I got 9/10 kills, but had to quit because the very last enemy would have gotten killed on the next turn without bombs

Doable, just rng

Well first boss in banner lords is just great tonight. Definitely comes back to my original thought that this is beyond overtuned. I like the part where the boss adds ignore any CC.

Edit : just built raglin and have 504 res still gets feared and spell locked at boss. LOL.
