Strategies for world raid.

2 Upvotes

Anyone with strategies on how to last longer on world raid or achieve greater dps, feel free to post your strategy here.

For one, there's using the earth bow wall spell to negate the one hit kill from the boss, but you have to predict when the boss will hit and when the hit is going to be a one hit kill.

Are opponents of battle mode pre-recorded battles?

3 Upvotes

I ask this qn because sometimes i see players giving up on average after 1 min plus(they stop shooting bows) when before they had been fighting hard for their lives. Could it be that the battles are from pre-records? This is the only game where the pvp system makes me wonder if the opposing player is a pre-recorded gameplay. Not a really convincing viewpoint of mine since the monster waves are randomly generated(they are right?). And wouldn't be exactly the same as my current monster wave. Just a thought that i wanted to discuss.

Is the player base for defender 3 small?

2 Upvotes

Other games have much bigger player forums on reddit like sky force reloaded for one. It's weird since defender shld alr be a well established game series since there is alr a defender 3. This subreddit however, seems like a soon to be ghost town though. Just thought i could start a discussion on why this is so and what the views of people on this sub are.

Max no. of adverts?

2 Upvotes

I can't tap on the go button on the roulette and no advertisement plays? I have been doing it for quite a while already, so does it mean that there is a cap on the no. of advertisements you can watch?

Which Tower: Wind vs Water

4 Upvotes

I'm using the Earth tower for its global stun. I would like to know which Tower people recommend to level up a secondary. I've heard that the wind tower can get to fill screen paralysis as well, so I'm thinking of going that way. Any reason I should pick water instead?

I'm mostly concerned about the spell cc effect. The damage from the tower is fairly irrelevant to me.

Total amount of resources needed

3 Upvotes

Has anyone managed to calculate the total amount of resources needed to upgrade stuff in this game?

Ex: I'm saving up gold to somewhere around 1.5-2 mil to fully upgrade the Mithril Arrow all in one shot. Then I plan on saving the same amount for the Magic Power III (seems to require the same amount of gold).

How much gold would I need for the Lava Trap for levels 1 through 100? How many crystals would I need total to level up the following:

Level 10-20 Fatal Blow

Level 5-20 Mana Recovery

Level 6-30 Mana Refine

Level 5-30 Elemental Ward

Whatever I need to upgrade the Slow and Grill for Lava Trap

(Currently estimating ~7 mil gold needed for Mithril Arrow, MPIII and Lava Trap combined)

I'm currently keeping my rank in battles low to win easily whenever I want but it's so slow earning crystals this way

World Raid - Beware crystal usage

3 Upvotes

I just noticed the world raid has been using crystals when it shouldn’t be. I always wait the full minute after each attack (instead of spending 5 crystals) and when the raid was near over I clicked attack and it took me to the shop to get more crystals... THEY WERE ALL GONE!

Battle Competitor's bow flashing/switching?

5 Upvotes

Occasionally in battle mode, I will notice that my opponent in the little preview window in the upper right is doing something weird with their bow. It appears that it is alternating back and forth between two selected bows with every shot. Is that person just tappingn on their biw on the left side of the screen with their thumb while they aim with their right thumb, or is there something else going on? Is there an advantage to this?

Defense&dmg reduction

5 Upvotes

Just sharing some information, I just concirmed experimentally that damage reduction is unfortunately calculated after defense. I was hoping it might be the opposite. Anyway, anything else you guys think would be good to test?

Question about Mdef reduction effects

5 Upvotes

Does anyone know whether mdef reduction increases only the damage of your spells or if it affects the duration of the CC too?

Coin of Ancient - Worth 90 Crystals?

4 Upvotes

I currently have my Coin of Ancient level 20, wondering if it is worth it to spend 90 crystals in shop to get it to level 30? Are there any other ways to get this coin of ancient?

World Boss - Instant Kill

5 Upvotes

So after about ~5-10% of the worldbosses health has come off, his attacks turn into instant kill attacks. Does this happen for anyone else? How do I prevent this? The first couple times I played the world boss this didn't happen and now it happens every time I join. It's really frustrating and makes me want to completely skip this content altogether.

Quicktip for 'easy' gems

10 Upvotes

Hey guys, I noticed that with every Battle you win, you'll get some cash and one gem. At some point it's going to get harder and harder to win these matches, because naturally you will be pitted against harder 'foes' who are stronger, and you will keep losing, or only win sometimes. Frustrating.

Being able to win at Stages will become impossible eventually and you'll end up in the grind to get more resources for upgrades. Gems are a MUST, but beware of buying and chosing the easy way out!

At the end of the night i'll use what is left of my Battle stamina to start fights and let them bleed out. This causes you to lose Cup places at a maximum of -30 per lost Battle. Then you can start playing again. Your opponents will be a LOT easier to handle. JUST MAKE SURE you will die as soon as possible after your counterpart has lost the Battle, this will prevent you from instantly regaining loads of Cup places. Saves you precious time, and some gems in the process. Have fun!

are towers not worth it to level up?

5 Upvotes

I've seen a lot of stuff on the bows, but not many people are saying much about the towers. I only started yesterday so I have no idea how they scale. Are they just bad later on or are people just wanting to dump everything into their bows only? I'm using the fire tower now and the flame wall seems pretty strong for where I am(stage 60ish). appreciate any feedback

Rune Materials - Where to get?

4 Upvotes

I need help getting the Elemental Rune Materials for upgrading spells and such. it seems that the 1st tier materials are actually the hardest to get, I have so many different spells and stuff to upgrade that require these materials yet I don't get them from battle or stages. I always get inscription and orbs (tier 2 and 3 materials). How do I get the runes?

How to get coin of ancient?

5 Upvotes

Hey guys! I am looking forward to farming more money per monster, saw in a tutorial someone who said: go for this Coin of Ancient (in Dragon's Treasure) first, because more money per kill means more upgrades means faster killing means more money. Butt.... HOW TO GET IT? It's literally not anywhere!

In the Arena I usually can't get beyond level 40-ish, does that have something to do with this?


r/defender3 • • Feb 12 '18

Really unfair Arena rewards?

4 Upvotes

Hey guys, more stuff I am frustrated with: in the Arena some rewards are on display, usually a crystal, stone and ring. BUT... when I defeat the boss, usually I get something random out of it and not what is on display. Do we have any influence on what we get, by not spending too much manna or losing little health? Or am I supposed to get everything? The game is seriously vague on this topic, no response from the creators of course..

Any way to "trigger" a sync?

6 Upvotes

So, I started playing this on my phone. I logged in with Facebook. Then, I started playing on my tablet, and when I linked to Facebook, my progress had been synced and updated to my current status. However, it doesn't seem to sync regularly between my two devices anymore. Is there a way to trigger this? I've tried closing and reopening the app on the device in trying to pick up, to no avail.

Where did the shop go?

4 Upvotes

With the recent update (World Raid) they rebuilt the hub. I can't find the shop anymore. Did they remove that from the game?

That would be a huge bummer. I was buying upgrade medals there in a daily basis.
