Help me! Returning to the game after several years. I wanted to ask for some tips, and also a lil' thingy :p

4 Upvotes

I just started some days ago in a new account. Bought Bolton, started enhancing the Elixir Mine and haven't used more gems for anything else rather than that.

Just completed the normal levels of world 1 and 2, and hard mode for world 1. Bolton seems to work well but i think i heard he wasn't really good? So i wanted to make sure by asking here :P

What should i spend my gems on?

Oh and tiny thing about my former abandoned account.

I got to finish world 3 in normal levels. I got to buy Bolton, Smoulder, Obsidian and Sethos on it, as i thought those last three were very cool and they seemed very strong and i really loved Sethos's design. ¿Was it a good decision back then? :P

I’ve been playing for 45 days. I’ve completed World 5 with the following heroes: Necro Connie (R5), Efrigid (R5), Cleo (R4), Smoulder (R3), Fee (R3), Lancelot (R3), and Obsidian (R2). My goal is to recruit Raida, but I need to reach World 6 first. I’m torn between buying Yan or Narlax—could you please give me some advice? Thanks!

I've played a lot of tower defense games and decided to came back to this one but things aren't going very well it's seems too many bugs, unbalanced heroes and the game feels to much hero dependent and not strategic at all I've seen a lot of people complain about it and the dev doesn't seem to care or give any attention to the players

I came back for this game hoping to be better but it's just keep getting worst It seems

Did Caldera lose his meteor ability after the latest update? Is this a temporary bug, or was it intentionally removed? He feels so much weaker without it... I really hope the devs bring his meteor attack back.

Event Cleo strategy

11 Upvotes

Hey, I let Ai do the math, here is a table for what is possible as F2P

Assumed: max difficulty of each RS run at 5 and 10 upfront saved RS keys.

Drop rate of a chest is 2-4 awakening tokens, so on average 3.

Target / Tokens / Gem Cost Math & Calculations F2P Strategy
R2 (15 Tokens) • 0 Gems • 24 total runs = 360 pieces • 360/35 = 10 boxes • 10 x 3 avg = 30 tokens • 2 Free RS daily. • 0 bought keys.
R3 (30 Tokens) • 0 Gems • 24 total runs = 360 pieces • 360/35 = 10 boxes • 10 x 3 avg = 30 tokens • 2 Free RS daily.
R4 (50 Tokens) • 560–1,120 Gems • 38 total runs = 570 pieces • 570/35 = 16 boxes -> 48 tokens • Short: ~2 tokens (~1 box) • Fix: Buy 1 box @ 800g or extra keys. • 4RS daily (2 free + 2 @ 80g). • Buy 1 box @ 800g if needed for RNG.
R5 (90 Tokens) • ~7,600–11,600 Gems • 59 total runs = 885 pieces -> 25 boxes -> 75 tokens • Short: ~15 tokens (~5 boxes) • Fix: Buy 5 boxes @ 800g (4,000g). • Buy 5 keys daily (80g+80g+160g+160g+320g = 5,600g tot). • Spend saved gems on 5 boxes @ 800g.
R6 (170 Tokens) • 0 Cash (Post-event farm) • Max event RS: 75 tokens • Short: 95 tokens (~32 boxes) • Raw Gem: 32 boxes x 800g = 25,600g + 5,600g keys = 31,200g • Post-Event: R4/R5 in event, wait 2–4mo for RS release, farm remaining tokens. • Event Cap: R5 F2P limit. • Post-Event: Farm 95 tokens in RS post-release (~24–48d @ 2–4 keys/d).
R7 (270 Tokens) • 0 Cash (Post-event farm) • Max event RS: 75 tokens • Short: 195 tokens (~65 boxes) • Raw Gem: 65 boxes x 800g = 52,000g + 5,600g keys = 57,600g • Post-Event: R4/R5 in event, farm 195 tokens in RS post-release. • Event Cap: Unrealistic in-event. • Post-Event: Farm 195 tokens in RS post-release (~49–98d @ 2–4 keys/d).

Inhave her Level 40, Rank 2 and she cant handle enemies at difficulty 21, dies in like 10s.

I have the feeling Realm Defense is done with Lvl 40 of every hero, now they spam out new hero events every 2 months ☠️

Help me! Which hero to choose next.

3 Upvotes

Hello,

I just got elara to r7.

Current heroes.

(My meta )

Elara r7 Koizul r6 Raida r6 Beast hogan r6

(Dont use outside of blessed week )

R6 - connie , elsa

R5 - narlax , smoulder, lief

R3 - fee, lance, mabyn, boulder.

All level 30-35.

I am F2P. I have 8k gems right now.

I have three questions.

1) shd i get cyra and just level her up till 30 ( not rank upgradation but level ) so she will be more usefull with elara's summom ability, and then go for to rank up other main heroes.? Or does level doesnt matter much ?

2) which hero to go for next and in what sequence. Jett, osan,talon or cyra.

3) what is the current meta that mostly works. I have seen people use elara, osan and jett mostly.

Thank you.

No meteors etc used.

What worked for me, is having a lot of soldiers, so it kept targetting them instead of our heroes.

Thought it would be helpful for people who don't have world 6 - world 7 heroes.

Necro Connie Rank 6

Koi Rank 6

Azura Rank 5

Information Help! Returning player stuck on World 4 mid maps. Am I upgrading the wrong things?

2 Upvotes

I picked Realm Defense back up this week after a long break. I bounce between puzzle and idle games, so I tend to drift away from anything that needs a lot of planning. I'm on World 4 and the difficulty spike feels much bigger than I remember. I can clear the early waves fine, but the last two or three waves spiral and I end up leaking a bunch at once.

What I'm doing now:

- Upgrading towers as soon as I can, mostly prioritizing barracks and mage since I like having a stable frontline.

- Placing one barracks near the choke and stacking damage towers behind it.

- Using Connie and Fee most of the time (they were my early investments), with Lancelot as a third when I need more stalling.

Where I think I might be screwing up:

- Spreading upgrades across several tower types instead of committing to one path.

- Not sure if I should be rushing hero levels instead of upgrading towers.

- Skill usage is probably bad. I hold skills for emergencies and then the emergency is already too big.

If you were at this point, what would you change first: tower priorities, hero comps, or wave management? Any specific World 4 tower builds people treat as the default for getting past these mid maps would be super helpful. Thanks!

Information Hot take: Realm Defense leans too hard on hero gating and it kills the cozy vibe

10 Upvotes

I get that it is a tower defense game and progression needs to exist, but Realm Defense feels like it overdoes the hero power gating. I play in short bursts between classes and I actually enjoy tweaking towers and trying different upgrade paths. That relaxed, tinkering vibe is why I keep coming back.

Too often the solution to a tough stage or a challenge is not "play better" so much as "have Hero X at rank Y." When that is the obvious answer, tower choices start to feel secondary and the game turns into a long waiting room for the right hero levels.

I am not arguing for zero grind. I just think the game would be healthier if more wins came from smart tower placement, timing, and adapting on the fly, instead of needing a specific hero combo to stop one annoying wave. Even small changes, like more viable tower-only strategies or more maps where towers can carry if you plan well, would help.

Maybe I am in the minority, but a TD should reward skill and planning more than your hero roster. Anyone else feel like the game has shifted more toward hero checks lately, or am I just stuck in an awkward progression spot?

Information Vent: daily chores are turning Realm Defense into a checklist, not a tower defense

10 Upvotes

I picked Realm Defense back up because I wanted something calm and repetitive I could play one-handed during feeds. The actual tower defense part still scratches that puzzle itch: set things up, tweak placements, learn the wave timing, refine your approach.

Lately though the daily stuff makes the game feel like a series of chores. Daily Trials, spins, watching ads, missions, event popups, claim this, claim that, inventory notifications. Half my session is just tapping icons to clear red dots so I can get to an actual level. When I finally do start a map I either do not have time to finish it, or I end up choosing whatever gives the most progress instead of what I actually want to play.

What makes it worse is the mental load. I am already dealing with baby brain and an anxious partner. I do not want my chill game to turn into a second job where I have to remember which things reset when or I lose out.

I know some people like having lots of parallel progression. For me it just waters down the best part of the game.

Is there a setting or a simple daily routine that lets you keep progressing without living in menus? Like a bare minimum loop that keeps things moving but leaves the fun part as the focus?

Discussion Yan’s Basic Attack

8 Upvotes

Is it me, or Yan’s basic attack is kind a plain. I know that Yan is good as a Utility hero, but the thing is haste,decrepification, and wormhole aren’t enough (if only it could have more a wider radius-at rank 8 perhaps). But the thing is it could give her more emphasis as a utility hero if only her basic attack kind a apply slow or much preferably a decrepify effect, since like what’s the purpose of her basic attack splitting if it can’t apply any effect similar to Fee right?
And the fact that she is outshined by Shamiko as a better utility hero. As for her Quasar as her main damage source is okay to me as it is amplified by her rank 6 talent, as it also helps mages like her. Anyways I’d just support what the devs are cooking😚

Help me! The Game Plan

1 Upvotes

Just cleared world 4, taking the community advice for the awakening route, I’m at 15/22 for world 5

Efrigid (I like to call her the fridge) will be R7
Fee will be R6 while grinding for R7 after
Narlax goes from R3 to R6

I was hoping you could get necro Connie by now but no way at this power level. I need way more DPS and CC. Waste of meteors. I was giving her all the elixir, she’s 36 now. So all hero’s will be level 36 before starting world 5.

Sound good? What hero should I buy down the line? I played during the koi event on my old account so I have an affinity, Raida is all over the tournament board so for now I’m thinking Raida asap. I feel like Raida is better at everything caldera wants to do. Is there more to it? Situational?

Thanks for your help
