Early game initial steps, for the most efficiency, are:
- Your Starter Champion to 60
Using 1, 2 and 3 star champions farmable from campaign, 6 star your starter champion: he is your campaign farmer, and when he is 60, he will be able to finish all of campaign, up to Brutal difficulty, for you. He will be farming “food” for you to level up and rank up your other champions. The best spot to farm food is Brutal 12-3.
It is worth it buying the masteries for your starter, too: it will make it easier for farming scrolls for your other champions too. When he is 50, you can buy the masteries, for 800 gems.
- Do not sell the free login Lifesteal set
Your starter champion needs it for the first few months: you can level up to 16 the glove, chest, and boots. The remaining pieces you can leave them at 12.
- Warmaiden is your friend
If you don’t have yet a champion with the AOE 60% Decrease Defense debuff, Warmaiden is your best friend. Having a champion that does AOE 60% Decrease Defense champion is huge, and Warmaiden is a farmable rare from campaign that does that, and on a 3-turn cooldown, and she can be booked for free, just using her duplicates as books until her a3 is fully booked. She can be kept at level 50.
-Increase your champion pool, then you:
-Get a “Core Team” going
The Core Team is the engine that will power up your progress. Build a core team for general use, but primarily for clan boss use, looking for champions that:
1) 50% Decrease Attack
2) 60% Decrease Defense
3) 5% Poisons, HP Burn, or both
4) Various buffs that are helpful in clan boss and general progression: heals, increase defense, speed buff, counterattack, ally protection, etc. The Core Team will change over time, as you pull better options you may need to change some of the champions.
-The power of 6 Stars
Don’t make the mistake many beginners do, of making a bunch of level 50’s aimlessly. Focus on making a team of 60’s! Make a 60 out of the champions of your core team that will be long term use. 6 starring a champion unlocks the tier 6 masteries, and the banner slot. This, combined with having your champion booked at least for their most important skills, will unlock their true potential.
-Minotaur grinding for mastery scrolls
Fully master your core team: having most of your team at level 60 will make it easier to farm on Mino 15, the best place to farm for scrolls.
-Enter The Dragon
-Start Dragon progression. Your goal is to reach Dragon 20, where 6 star gear starts dropping.
Dragon is the most important dungeon to master first: Lifesteal, Speed, and Accuracy sets will help you build teams for all areas of the game, and also will help you gear up other teams for other dungeons. -Leave other dungeons for later, as they all will require more specialized teams.
All this, will help you progress quicker in clan boss.
-Why is clan boss important?
-your ultimate goal should be to reach the highest clan boss difficulty, within a year. Why? Chance to get, daily, Sacred, Void, and Ancient shards, and Legendary, Epic, Rare books, ascension pots, and gems. Plus: exclusive gear sets: Immortal, and Cruel. In brief, a chance at having the best rewards in the game, daily.
-Rhazin Fusion
Save any champions you may have or pull, that are part of the Rhazin fusion
Rhazin is a great legendary champion that will help you a lot in clan boss, dungeons, faction wars, and many other areas.
