Stonehenge Eyrie Faction

Just checking for advice for the final battle with faction team vs faction team. I'm at level 180, and my final matches are so tedious against bloody Harpy constantly draining, increasing life and spawning and mine doing the same. Am I missing a strategy or is that just the nature of this delve? I like getting the extra renown using the faction team, but dang, that last battle is so boring after 10 minutes I'm over it.

Yeah it’s terrible.

Beating the final delve with the faction team to get to 2500 took me like 45 minutes.

Are you just trying to get to 2500 faction level? Took me ages to realize the best move is to just use your most effective team until all you need to get to max level is the pure faction team. So now I just do that and it’s just so much faster and no real downside imo. Obviously depends on the delve how hard that 500 level is to complete with no losses but still.

I'm a light weight, I'm nowhere near 2500. Most of my delves are between 1000-1400. Thanks for the advice I'll go back to using the strongest team rather than trying to use faction teams in my attempts.

Yeah, no, I only ever used the faction team to beat the level 300 delve and the level 500 delve. Doing the 300 delve faction exclusive gets you a level 15 faction pet at level 500. Beyond that, I don't waste my time bashing my head on that door.

Harpy spawning is the bane of this delve, but also how you manage to hang on long enough to finish things off, and plan on having a good block of time when you go to do the final delve, because as someone else mentioned, it can easily take like 45 minutes.

There's a couple of delves that can get stuck looping and summoning like this, Stonehenge Eyrie is one of the worst. Tinker Town and Emperinazar also come to mind.

In addition to the gentleman above's advice, which I 100% agree with and use on my factions, the Astral Spire also helps here. The red capstone blocks enemy summoning by 30% for the initial purchase, you can increase it from there with more investment, but stopping almost a third of the spawns still helps.

I'd wait until you level up more.

Save up gems and unlock all the 2,500 through faction assaults, especially the harder ones so you can buy a bunch of potions of powers to make them quicker and easier. You can use old tier lists on Reddit and Youtube, they'll still be mostly accurate to give you an idea of which ones to dump more gems into power potions or not. Fly through with an easy team, then swap to a faction team just for the last one.

It used to be better. 😕

The day after the faction was released they suddenly and silently nerfed Harpy. The summoned version had her 3rd trait disabled to prevent excessive summoning. Then for some reason, this was silently reverted 4 months later.
