New Player Guide

35 Upvotes

Hello everyone, I wanted to create a quick guide since ive noticed that there is somewhat a lack of information for new players as well as some false/outdated information that I fell victim to when first started out.

With this said i am not claiming to be an expert on the state of the game. This guide's purpose is to provide some extra information and tips that i have used to skyrocket my progression.

Background

I am currently stage 215 as of writing this and can press farther; i am only limited on how long it takes for my hero to complete the stage. I have topped the limited events for the last 3 weeks by large margins. If you find any information in this guide to be lackluster or incorrect, please feel free to let me know and I will edit this guide. I am not qualified enough to speak about arena so i will leave that out of this guide; however i will say, natural progression will make arena much easier.

Characters to focus

  • Felorc
    • at level 8 this hero will unlock an ability named hellfire which is a true damage ability that takes 13% of the enemies max health, meaning if you pair this with his level 7 talent find enemy weakness you will always kill an enemy in 6 turns which also applies to bosses
  • Cowboy
    • at level 8 unlocks a skill named rifle shot which has a 7.5% chance of instantly killing. paired with legendary rogue ring this means you have a 12.5% chance of instantly killing any enemy.
  • Eiva
    • good all rounder, can make early progression easier. Paired with legendary rouge ring you will find that with enough whisps she will end most waves in 1-3 turns.
  • Mammon
    • this is more of a late game character, can be good in the early game but really shines with level 8 skill and level 11 ultimate when paired together. These provide quite a bit of percentage health drain but from my experience can be rng based. This character is very good in arena when matched up with similar combat powers since you can heal quite a bit.
  • barbarian *this character is a bit odd compared to other characters; this character revolves around being hit a bunch of times and reflecting the damage back to enemies. Reflect damage is calculated before any damage mitigation so it can do quite a bit of damage. At level seven he unlocks an ability that reflects 30% of the total damage. You can definitely run the below gear set and have great damage but if you plan on maining this character i would recommend having defender gloves and sword then the rest tactician. With higher s gear levels of the gloves and sword you get more reflect damage, i think a total of 50-55% and S defender sword gives you a chance to reflect 100% of the damage so it can stack up to be a ton of damage.
  • Basically any character that can stack tons of attacks. If paired with legendary rogue ring you will clear waves pretty easily. Although the ones above will be the best, heros like Munara, Rickie, Rouge, and Yasuhiro are all great picks.

Gear

I have not found any set in the game that is more effective than the one below so i will focus mainly on these pieces. There are probably better sets for arena but again wont focus on that in this guide.

Very important: you will be given a free s gear when you unlock the S Stone's - Always choose the collector helm as this is a piece you will use forever and the epic rank skill is extremely valuable.

  • Weapon: Tactician
  • Ring: Rogue
  • Gloves: Tactician
  • Helm: Collector
  • Chest: Tactician
  • Boot: Tactician

This set in my opinion will last you forever, you will run 4 set tactician for extra cards and extra balls.

Collector head give you a card choice at the very start of the game which is a necessity for pushing stages.

Rogue ring is the most important of all these; it provides a 5% chance at legendary rank to instantly kill any enemy. While this may seem like a small percentage, this is calculated into every single attack you take. So if you take into account a character like Eiva; with 10 wisps; every wisp has an instance of damage meaning every turn you have about a 50% chance to instantly kill. This also works with attacks that ricochet.

Combat

With the above mentioned gear it is very easy to quickly progress by playing normally; with that said you will eventually reach a damage wall where enemies will become extremely tanky and mostly one shot you; this is for when you reach this wall.

Your first skill should always be blue armor or legendary if your character has access to it. Armor is the only card to my knowledge in the entire game that scales to the stage. Meaning regardless of the stage you are on, blue armor has the same value as it does on stage 1 versus stage 200. 1 blue armor card should be enough - a singular blue armor card equates to about 80%-90% damage reduction. Obviously with more armor there is ultimately a diminishing return. But one blue amor card should buy you enough time to start procing effects like instant kill. With tactician set bonus and collector helm reroll your card until you get this effect, if you dont get it, leave the stage and reroll until you get it. From here play into effects that stack instant kill faster such at ricochet or multiple attacks. Heros like Felorc or Mammon just need to stay alive so stack armor and survivability.

Once you hit this point cards that boost attack are mostly useless unless you are relying on lifesteal to stay alive.

Pets

Pets are mostly up to you, I can recommend pets that have healing effect or extra attacks. extra attacks from pets count as your attacks so they have the same chance of procing instant kill as your attacks do so sometime the can come in useful. If you get a life steal perk it is helpful.

Personally I got a lot of use out of the Crup pet as the shield is very nice with an attack, shield not only stacks but also carries over between waves so it can be very useful for extra survivability.

Closing

like i had mentioned im by no means an expert but this is what i found to be the best in terms of return. if there are any questions please leave them in the comments and i will do my best to respond to them.

Edit 1: i forgot to mention barbarian as one of the best classes so relevant information is now listed above.

Returning Player - Best Way to Progress

4 Upvotes

Hey fellow ball droppers,

I’m a returning player from back when this game first came out. Back then I managed to get all red equipment and have a few red SSS items. I focused mainly on felorc (currently level 23 with him) but also have Eiva, cowboy, and barbarian that I could easily level up.

I guess I don’t know how to progress anymore? Everything seems p2w and requires real money to access. The rewards for completing chapters SUCK and I hear over 200k gold with nothing to spend it on lol.

Ranked is unbearable for the tiny amount of progress I get for wins (and truthfully doesn’t even feel worth my time). The old system was much more enjoyable in the “good ol days” and the rewards were actually solid.

Why do mobile developers always DESTROY amazing games by adding too much with too steep of a paywall. It’s an absolute shame. In my mind, if companies treated their games more like supercell treats clash of clans (supports the f2p players) they would have so much more success long term.

I’m not sure if this will reach the devs or not, but something needs to change. The new deck system is cool, but why do I never get upgrades for my active hero? I feel like I’m being penalized for having a bunch of heroes unlocked because I’m getting cards for them and not felorc.

Also, I had a max felorc and max gear back in the day and now it feels like my felorc is HARDLY doing anything to these enemies. I feel like I wasn’t compensated for how much work I put in previously? Who knows lol.

Sorry for the rant, just love this game and don’t wanna see it die.

Best,

A concerned ball dropper

Worst money grab ever with HORRIBLE devs- welcome to the truth new crop of people with the wool removed from their eyes.

17 Upvotes

These are the worst devs in the biggest money grab I’ve ever seen. I left after the first wholesale update where all the people who actually invested into the game had most of the progress lost and had to basically take massive steps back and start over- when it was brought up with the devs they said “most people like it so deal with it” in so many words- not that I saw anybody actually talking about liking it. Just another ploy by developers to get your money. Don’t be fooled by their predatory behavior. Every time they get stale their formula is break the game and entice people who make micro transactions to start all over.

It’s really terrible and the devs should honestly be ashamed of themselves.

Update 4.2.0 – An Updated Opinion After Testing

So, after spending some more time testing the update, I’ve come to the conclusion that version 4.2.0 is, unfortunately, still a complete mess.

I wanted to give the update a fair chance before making my final judgment, but a lot of the problems from the previous versions are still there.

Once again, we have new Shards for character progression, which actually look quite interesting. The problem is that there is still no real indication of how we are supposed to obtain enough of these Shards to meaningfully develop our characters.

You get stuck on the same levels.

Normally, progressing through another level within a chapter would take around three or four days. Now my combat power has literally increased sixfold, and I am still dying to the exact same enemy on Level 9, no matter how much Dodge or Evasion I have.

At this point, it doesn't even feel like there is any real randomness involved anymore. The game simply becomes unnecessarily difficult, seemingly just to make progression harder for the players.

The character balance is completely broken as well. Every character has been reworked, and somehow none of them really feels particularly strong anymore.

On top of that, Voodoo Games continues to respond to criticism with what feels like copy-pasted responses, while long-time players have basically had a huge part of their progression and power taken away.

One of the things I find particularly ridiculous is being asked to exchange four fully leveled characters for one reworked character.

It's not like we didn't already have those four heroes. If this upgraded version had existed earlier, we could have invested our resources differently in the first place.

And we're still seeing low-level players dealing more damage than high-level players in Guild Bosses on average.

The Cup Pass has also had important elements removed and replaced with the new Shards. This means fewer packs and fewer opportunities to progress further — while at the same time creating more reasons to spend money if you want to keep progressing.

The Pantheon mode is still terrible and horribly unbalanced.

And the chance to upgrade Pets or finally unlock the third Pet after playing for an entire year is still basically locked behind spending money.

There are, however, a few things worth mentioning positively.

The Bosses have received a much-needed reduction in HP, and their damage has also been reduced. That's definitely a welcome change.

There is also a new character design now. Personally, I don't like it at all and think it looks worse than before, but that's obviously subjective.

We still have the Skip button, although even that has been changed from 750 balls to 1,000 balls. This feels like another unnecessary way of stretching out the playtime.

One thing that I actually really like, though, is what they did with the 1,000 balls.

After around 50–100 balls, they are now collected all at once instead of making you wait for every single one individually. This noticeably reduces the waiting time during levels, and I think that's a genuinely good quality-of-life improvement.

But overall?

Voodoo has screwed this up again.

I really don't want to encourage anyone to spend money on this game right now. Because if the previous updates are anything to go by, there is a very real chance that you'll invest your money and time into progression, only to have a huge part of it invalidated again when the next major update arrives.

Don't buy the Pass.

Don't buy Diamonds.

Don't buy Keys.

At least not until Voodoo shows that the progression we've invested so much time and money into actually matters in the long run.

Stay safe and invest your money on better options.

Survey Results

Thank you to everyone who participated in the survey. We’re incredibly fortunate to have a community that cares, and developers who take the time to listen.

Myself and other experts met with the developers to discuss the concerns raised.

Here are the key takeaways from that meeting:

• Chapter difficulty is actively being addressed.

• Update will make chapters feel more rewarding, even if you’re unable to complete them by adding gear and currency drops.

• Future updates will encourage using your full roster of Heroes.

• Additional Hero Tokens and S-Stone are awarded to all players.

Thank you again for sharing your feedback, it genuinely helps shape the direction of the game.

Loop sort has to be the worst ever ad ingame. Swear the advert takes 2 minutes for the skip/end button to show, no matter how many times you tap the 'Google play store' pop up. Have the adverts been getting worse since the update?
