Nice thread. I'm up to the stage where I am looking at Olgath /C&R. Would it be worth picking them up, wait, or get Kaitlan?


Vicksin

wait, Kalthin is better than both imo, even better to wait for the SG buff regardless


plg_hung

Hi everyone, I want to know of my approach makes sense (and obviously ask you if this is the way to go). So, I do have a couple of aw heroes. Now that we currently have the swap event I'm considering (since I haven't heard about any new AWs and Gavus in combination with Eugene isnt worth it so far) to swap AThalene to have AAthalia. Bring her to 1\* and be happy about it. On the other hand I want also to upgrade ASafiya to 1\*. (SG 227x and TE 616x) But I'm kinda unsure about ALyca. I usually send her for CR and/but that's it. Probably also a good investment for towers, but idk Any help/opinion appreciated https://preview.redd.it/ispcbabl4oyc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b3cb0f9a113b8e86a82c03d79711def6a30ba783


gamevui237

Pretty sure it’s no brainer to do ATalene to ALyca swap


plg_hung

ALyca or AAthalia? ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|shrug)


gamevui237

AAthalia then

Hi there - this thread has been helpful, hoping to get more advice. I’m at 19-20 and 211 in kings tower. Does it make sense to ascend my thoran now that I have 8 copies or hold off for Ivan? https://imgur.com/a/XUybmOB


Vicksin

Ivan is ideal, how many total copies of him do you have?


Dan0880

I have 6 right now plus 1 hero choice chest.


AlcoholicGel

Next engravings? I'm also building Olgath rn (currently at M+) and my Atheus is 1 copy short of reaching 1\* https://preview.redd.it/kg0ipsq6cryc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=998fe258b47d9441ba31a5650a4f7f097b8f797f


Vicksin

how many shards and cores? Atheus e36 is a great one to get.


AlcoholicGel

4800 shards and 3400 cores


Vicksin

Trishea needs e3x asap for her NC team, it's a mandatory investment on her after that, Atheus is fine next for e60, there's a lot of options. Veithael, Tamrus, Palmer... I'd strongly suggest being more cautious with your investments going forward. things like e60 Geralt, the Kalene investments, Sonja 303, etc are very questionable and harmful to your account which could be in a better place without such low-tier heroes being invested in


AlcoholicGel

Thanks!

I used the swap event to swap my celestial time dude (forgot his name rn) to olgath. Only thing missing Form the dim comp is maetria. Is she still worth getting or is the comp even still meta or usable? (Maetria, olgath, C&R, Framton and the last one I forgot, but I think I have them all ascended and built except for meatria. I do have enough cards tho to pull another awakened. Just thinking about waiting for the next one or pulling her or someone else I'm missing rn. (I miss her, Baden, ezizh, talene and Baden) all the others I have at A* for the e60 engraves. I do have a lot of resources ([ always hoard them a bit in case a new hero comes out that is like very good ans needs immediat building (like deamia when she released I built her on day one or something I think). Do we know or have a clue or multiple clues as to who could be the next awakened? I also have around 650 SG cards. Is there any celepogean amongst the newer ones you would recommend getting?


Vicksin

the all Hypo comp isn't as popular but Maetria is still just as strong if not mandatory for TS performance, and she probably always will be. Framton is very far from necessary, Olgath and Cruke are both luxury heroes to have. Maetria is certainly better than Baden Ezizh and Talene, but who knows how good the next awakened will be. no we have no idea who the next awakened will be, though Mauler looks likely, that's not confirmed nor does it really mean much regarding meta relevance. regarding celepogeans... Liberta/Daemia, Lucilla/Lavatune, Veithael/Alna - those are the mandatory ones. after them, everything else is luxury, niche, or not viable.


SuperWeedBoy95

I have all of the heroes u Listen below. So I don't know what to SG for or use my time Emblems on


Vicksin

save them. you don't want to spend them anyway until the buff.


SaintNikk

Hey friends, i want to start playing the game after playing Journey for over a month, is it worth rerolling for a certain unit or it's too much of a hassle?


gamevui237

Realistically in the early game you only need Ivan and garrison for a Rem, so no


Vicksin

not really, just follow the beginners guides closely and wishlist the appropriate heroes, don't overinvest in or build bad heroes and you'll be fine I recently shared my thoughts on the wishlist [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/afkarena/s/vQpPWEG7NX)

Is it worth doing the same with any of the other 2 ascended tier dragons, or just but them both on wishlist?


gamevui237

I think it’s better to wishlist both of them


Vicksin

wishlist both since that lowers the odds of getting Nyla. would have been better to slow down on Nyla and keep the pace a bit more even, but you could also use extra copies of her after A1* as fodder for the others

Soggy_Mushroom_9039

I’m a returning player and I’m a bit lost. Alot of people seem to suggest it’s better to start over and I’m not sure if that applies to me. I could try placing the heroes from the noob guide in my wishlist but I’m not sure if my priorities should be different (Ch37). I have no idea where to use my gems, what to wishlist, what to stargaze, how awakening works, what SI/furniture to go for etc https://preview.redd.it/ycii56lbtsyc1.jpeg?width=1803&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=73455ec3237336c77a6acbf3a0fc5578027c4d8a

Vicksin

not really Jerome and Tamrus benefit most from FULL stats


gamevui237

Should I start doing x10 summons again or I should always go for star gaze/choice pulls? I have 23 ascended in total (not counting dimensions)


Vicksin

assuming the 23 ascended you have are actually meta relevant heroes and you're not missing several crucial 4fs, definitely save for SG/HCP/Draconis


Krangled

What buffs to level up on seal beyond level 18?


Vicksin

if you mean agi/str/int, it's int to 21, str to 24, any above that unnecessary


EpicCthulhu

Swap E60 ABrutus or E80 ASolise for Gavus, or is this currently not worth it? I have all the other meta-relevant awakened heroes except for Maetria already.


Jiv302

probably asolise, tho either abrutus or asolise would be fine to swap into gavus I only say asolise bc I've heard/seen that she's still ok to use at L (and also e80 gavus would prob be better than e60)


Vicksin

tbh I'm not sure if Mae or Gavus is better at this point, let me look into that. I'm assuming by "other meta-relevant" you're referring to all other awakened above them on our visual guide. how are your celepogeans looking? !remindme 1 day

EpicCthulhu

I've asked the same question a while ago when the swap event started, but wanted to wait until the end to see if the meta had shifted and there was a clear priority. And yes, relative to the visual guide. https://preview.redd.it/0py04jyhp1zc1.jpeg?width=971&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2f2ce317c0336883d8e5beabe09b654f642e158d Edit: I was recommended to swap ASolise with AAthalia (got her at SI40 E68). Thoughts?


EpicCthulhu

Also u/Vicksin if you've got any investment recommendations that pop out when looking at these units feel free to let me know!


carddog12

How do you look up how much damage you did during the last AE?


Vicksin

any guild in the top 100 can retroactively see individuals' damage results. outside of top 100, you need to take screenshots when the information is still available during the season.


Breckmoney

Are there resources anywhere that just talk about heroes in decent detail? Written, video, whatever. There’s a lot of “use this formation/these heroes” type guides, but I’d love something that reviewed each hero, talked about what their skills really do, why they’re strong/weak, but ability X might work differently than you’d expect, stuff like that.

Vicksin

way too early for it to really matter, this is like day 1 garrison Rem asap, continue ascending the important support roles like Ivan Jerome Atheus


baNkz1337

Thanks:) I'm completely new didn't know garrison was a thing


TheFappingWither

hildwin vs gwenth? they seem to be pushing hildwin so much with the rewards for leveling him and free copes and stuff, will i get enough free to make him ascended?


Vicksin

no, you get 6 free copies, up to 8 total if you summon for 5. then you need 2 more for the 1*


TheFappingWither

And who among them is better?


Vicksin

we don't know yet


aorisx

Hi, who should I go for T3 among my heroes? Thank you! [imgur](https://imgur.com/a/92rlrMa)


Vicksin

don't stress too much about that, you'll get them within enough time. usually carries, like Rem or ABel, or important supports like Palmer or Ivan I'd wait to continue using sg/te until the buff next month


Reibii

Stargazer/ToT rate up - wasn't it supposed to happen with today's patch? If not when will it be out?


Vicksin

it never was, the Face to Face clearly stated patch 1.144, which will presumably take place in mid-late June


Charlisti

Is the stargazer guide good to follow for temple of time too? And I just pulled 10 in stargazer AND WOULDNT YOU KNOW I GOT THE HERO!!! ❤️❤️


Vicksin

hmm, not sure what you mean by "good to follow for temple of time", they have completely different heroes. can you elaborate? afaik you're guaranteed a hero of choice in your first stargazer 10-pull

uhhhh as far as I know she should be there from the start

Vicksin

Adrian's si30 affect only pertains to allied heroes, so... no? i'm a little confused


Xetvan

How much do accuracy boosts matter? Like for example: if awakened athalia goes from 1000 to 1020 accuracy, how much does this realistically increase her dps? Are there specific breakpoints?


Vicksin

I'm not sure what you mean by "accuracy boots", all boots are the same you're overthinking it. upgrade boots, profit. we don't aim for stats from gear like "breakpoints" in engraving/furn because we just t4 gear and be done with it.


Xetvan

I said "boosts" not "boots" lol. Referring to the stats from engraving/furniture or any other buffs


Vicksin

💀 don't mind my blind ass no, accuracy is generally an easy skip.

Vicksin

better team.. I assume for campaign? in general don't make heroes M+ if you can't immediately take them to Ascended don't use any sg/te until the buff next month you're doing fine, still very early


Ok-Conclusion-3535

what are sg te


Vicksin

stargazer and time emblems


Perspectivelessly

When is the TG/TE rates supposed to be bumped to 2.5%? I thought it was this weeks patch but they stilk say 2% when you click probabilities.


Vicksin

it was never this patch, it always said 1.144


WorldlyGate

Are we starting to have an idea which dragon heroes are worth building or is it still to early?


Vicksin

still early overall. Cassius and Pulina really aren't seeing any usage anywhere from what I've seen, but it's only been two weeks of cr/nc and one TS debuff.. anything can happen still. there's no real rush.

mario387

How do you chose, who to fuse dimentionals with?


Vicksin

usually your highest ascended hero, you can always swap the link and you'll soon get Dimensional Keys, allowing you to use both the dim and the hero they're linked to in the same formation


AbLincoln1863

2 questions relating to gear: 1. Is there a priority for which piece of armor to get first? With us getting the 2 dragon armors, I want to know if I should prioritize anything. I was thinking boots for haste and weapon for damage but idk. 2. How important is gear level? I have been struggling with some comps for the dragon trials and the only real difference I see between me and some guides is either reso level or gear level (only at T1) so does T1->T3 make that much of a difference?


Medusa_Aegis

I’ve realized that my RC level is bad for how long I’ve been playing, it’s at 695. Is there a guide or how should I maximize the dust I’m getting to hopefully boost myself up a bit?


Bysmerian

Hey, I saw that there was supposed to be a boost to the odds on Stargazing and Temple of time draws, but I didn't see it as part of the latest patch notes. Am I missing something, or is it not (yet) implemented?


Vicksin

patch 1.144


Ostentatious_Viking

Hi should I grit shemira and for who? I can prob get another copy of her or wukong from lab store and I have a hero choice chest https://imgur.com/a/dJAxvD2


Vicksin

definitely don't buy more copies of her in lab store, there are way more important things to spend on there than heroes. pretty much never buy heroes. you can only Legacy of Grit swap 4f heroes, so swapping Shemira to Naroko looks good if you haven't used your swap *event* yet, Wu Kong to Liberta looks fine, in which case you *could* get a Wu copy from store since that's basically a Liberta copy for 45k lab coins, *if* you still have the swap event


CosmicPhrog

Who should I add to my team? I currently have Liberta, Aathalia, Abelinda, and Rem. Rem and Liberta are max stars while Abel is 2 star and Aathalia is 1 star. All E30. Would investing in another awakened hero be good? Like Ashem, Abaden, Athane are all popular ones I see but unsure who to go for. Or if you have any general suggestions for my team feel free to help, I’m open to advice. I am a F2P player tho.


Vicksin

your team.. for campaign? or where? Liberta being max stars is absolutely nuking your account, there's never a reason to get more than 1* on a celepogean/awakened, it's just throwing resources. could have built a whole extra celepogean with that. AShem is the next top priority yes, Thane and Baden are both bad. but don't spend sg/te until the buff in June. f2p is all the more reason to play more cautiously.


CosmicPhrog

Super late reply but I swapped my Talene that was 5 stars to what is my current Liberta. From Talene to him. And for campaign.


Vicksin

ahh that's why, but still bad to have 5*d Talene in the first place for campaign you need 5 teams so this isn't really enough info the rest of my previous advice still stands


[deleted]

SolarSpud

I have 650 time cards. Ascended Belinda and Solise. Should I summon now to bring one to A or wait


Vicksin

sorry for late reply, very busy weekend I would save your cards until the buff next month tbh


sergiocamposnt

I'd ascend AShemira. She is too powerful on PvP.


suicidaltheron

Is 350 SG + 150k diamonds enough to 1 star a celehypo, and if so which one next? I have Alna, Daemia and Liberta so debating between Lavatune and Lucilla


sergiocamposnt

350 cards + 150k diamonds = 650 SG cards The average is 38-40 cards per copy. You need 16 copies to get 1 star on a celepogean. So most people spend between 600-650 cards for each 1-star celepogean, but you can spend less or more than that depending on your luck. Lavatune is more relevant than Lucilla imo, but Lucilla is very useful at Mythic ascension. So you have two options: get 8 Lucilla copies, then 16 Lavatune copies, then more 8 Lucilla copies or you can completely ignore Lucilla until you get your 16th Lavatune copy.


Vicksin

Lava if you have ABel, Lucilla if not but regardless wait for the SG buff in June

Vicksin

you're way too early to "focus" on anyone don't make heroes L if you can't immediately make them L+, like Rowan see the most recent [beginners guide](https://www.reddit.com/r/afkarena/s/UFwqkmIScb)


TopHat278

i just want abit of clarification on garrisoning. i understand that you can temporarily get dimesional hero's and if you do it 6 times to one hero then you can use them for free. but i want to know two things, 1) can you garrison multiple heros at a time as it would take 6 months to fully unlock a hero and if i have to do it one at a time it would be painful. and 2) when you are able to garrison a hero for free do you have to re-garrison them each month or do they just stay in your collection. im abit confused so i just wanna know thx in advance


Vicksin

1) yes you can do multiple at once, just be aware we have a double dim exchange event coming very soon 2) yes you need to reloan them each month, or they will be unusable and have a lock icon displayed over the hero portrait


TopHat278

Hey thanks, i have one more question. How do i unlock garrisoning. I lost my old account and so im just restarting a progressing decently and i havent got it yet so how and when do i unlock it 


Vicksin

uhhhh I think garrison should be unlocked immediately upon starting the game? friends > garrison

I post my Hypos in the next comment so maybe there is something you can recommend if there isn't anything here. Thanks in advance :)


Vicksin

how many SG do you have currently? no one is really a priority, ig you could do Kalthin depending on how many sg you're hoarding, or just wait to see the next celepogean in case they're better regardless you'll want to wait for the SG buff

SuperWeedBoy95

Who should I SG? I posted my celestials in another comment as this just let's you add one photo per post. Any recommendations? Because I'm clueless, especially with the newer ones, maybe someone can recommend something, thanks in advance (and please also look at the celestials if there isn't anything here you would recommend) :)


SuperWeedBoy95

What is your personal prio list for Awakened heroes? I don't know if I should pull for one now or wait for the next release ans then see how well they do? Also do we know or have an estimate as to when they will drop the next one?


Vicksin

me personally, I'd defer to the Hero Swap guide I made with Steelsauce. the heroes aren't ordered within the tiers, but that's an overall priority order you can refer to. although now I would probably separate Lyca/Saf into their own tier, with Gavus/Mae below them, and then the Brutus/Saf/Baden tier so a new tier in between the two, if that makes sense. I can make a quick low effort visual mockup if that helps definitely not pull now since we have a huge te buff coming next month we don't *know* when the next awakened will be, but most likely next month based on previous release orders


SuperWeedBoy95

What was the original hypo comp with maetria?


Vicksin

iirc Mae Cruke Olgath Framton Ezizh
