Yep! Found a great Alliance and have worked my way up to Co-Leader. The leader when I first joined has stepped down but we got lucky and his hand picked successor has not dropped the ball.
@@medenilla12 Tiles that do not hit a hero/enemy. Your heroes gain mana x2 if you do. If you kill the tank you can send gems in the hole to gain more mana.
"People spend way too much time in game, to the point where it affects their personal relationships.....if you like my content, check out this other game" Seems legit.
Generally, I've been lucky with mistakes and only fed Buddy away, figuring that I wouldn't want to be playing with Christmas heroes in July. The biggest mistake was not joining an alliance. I only joined an alliance because it's essentially necessary for Path of Valor after playing for about a year. I had no idea that much of the good loot was in titan and war chests.
Thank you Anchor for being so honest with this educational video. It's good to hear some of the pitfalls to avoid. Everything you mentioned is on target!
I don’t see how it is feasible to sit around and wait for mana troops to be pulled. This is a game of patience. So I level the highest troop I have if I don’t have mana troops for that color. If I get a mana troop I immediately only level them. But then I can at least still be competitive. Plus when you aren’t running a rainbow team having the ability to do more damage because of more leveled troops is a good thing in my eyes.
@@-Me_ I have been playing this game for 2 years now and still do not have a 4* purple troop of any kind, much less a mana troop. I finally had to level up my 3* because Seshat needed a troop for my defense team.
I have a problem there with green and blue. I have 2 4* troops that I keep cycling through the hero academy until I get what I need. It is expensive in both time and resources, but at least there is a chance to get what I need.
@@JustinDLink I have that issue with my blue team. I have 1 four star blue and have had to level 3 start for my mono team. I have five 4 stars of EVERYTHING except blue. How are those odds even possible? lol
One tip I have for alliances is not to encourage excessive in game chat; take to Discord or elsewhere. Too chatty/social and you will have some players not reading it at all.
We have line, one for chat, and another has wise goat to help make decisions as far as team makeup. Line is optional, and we do chat in-game, but a lot of it is strategy.
Thinking you need the newest heros to get into the top 100. I do it on a regular basis with season 1 heroes. Remembering it is a game to be enjoyed. My alliances is the flying hellfish
Best Summons is actually the troop summons. You more or less get what you paid for, even if it be all 3* troops. You will eventually get a 4* troop. I also learned early on to rarely ever feed a 4* troop to a 4* troop, not until you have at least 5 of them. Some Summons like the Legends summons, only once I got a 5* hero but most of the time 3* and I have had such terrible results in this one i tend not to bother with it any more. 2+ years = 1 5* is really bad results. I got Zimkitha, now fully emblemed. While some people rave about her, I don't find her particularly that useful. Other thought, research your heroes once you get them, find out what others think of them. Don't be in a hurry to use your 4* ascension materials. Having a set of 6 of whatever along with a damascus blade and tomb of tactics I consider more rare than any 5*. It took me 2 years to get 12 mysterious tonics. I wasn't lucky to get them from wars or titans, just events. Glad I did not give C. Horghall his final ascension. May have a lot of health but lousy attack. As far as emblems go, same deal, be careful which heroes you apply them to and with respect to war... I have many 4*s I cannot fully emblem, let alone 5*. . I removed with a reset some from a Costume Boril to give to Mother North. Boril now sits at 7 emblems, Mother North 20. I accumulated lots of resets. Monk class emblems, a lot of heroes share on those and even with help of Alchemy Lab, the game has the unerring ability to stock pile emblems for heroes you have few of. I don't believe everything in this game is as random as Small Giant would have us believe. In summons they control the percentages so I wouldn't put it past them to control the percentages elsewhere in the game.
My main troops are are critical troops. The reasons why I chose these troops was basically the levels needed for the troops to make the hero reach full energy which is As u know 29 for fast troops and 11 for very fast etc. The critical troops have more survivability but for me during the last ninja tower, my critical troops have slown me down which has shown more heroes being cursed , esp when i run out of tornadoes ; and had i not had a lot of 5* heroes i wouldn't be able to conclude the ninja tower event. The mana troops have better attack record and thus they allow the player to finish the stage faster. So I decided to stop leveling my critical troops after level 22 (currently 21-22) and then move on to level up my mana troops (level 11-12) .
My sister did REALLY well with maxed 3* heroes with emblems. The only thing she couldn't compete in was War. She still uses those heroes to great effect against Titans, map battles, and tournaments.
Omg! Get outta my brain! My alliance members are very cool but our Titans keep getting weaker because of lower participation and/or frustrationwith the game. I'm ultra busy in my real life, but very active and rarely ever miss wars or titans. My concern is to go to an alliance where there's no appreciation that your real life takes precedence. Downloaded Raid Shadow from your link
Just to let you know the Troop video wasn't in the description! - I will go look for it anyway, but just want to give ya some feedback. These videos are very helpful, and many of our alliance use your tier list ratings on our Line chat
I got kicked out of several alliances for no effing reason...I’m so glad b/c I’m loved by my current alliance. I noticed recently after an emblem reset, they gave me all of resources I had used on the hero...that’s a nice new improvement!
More emblems does not solve the more material issue, I could have 30000 emblems just sitting there but can't use them because I can't ascend heroes since they are so fracking stingy with ascension materials
@@lizicadumitru9683 yes I have. I have had 10 straight elemental chests without a 4* material. And countless regular chests without a 4* material. I have also had 8 titan chests without a 4* material and 4 war chests without a 4* material. All in a row. Outside of the special quests an POV I have not had a 4* material drop in about 3-4 months
@BrainFarmer 9-11 days? For the rare elemental ascension item quests? I find that dubious. And even your math doesn't confirm it. Unless you mean to add other rare quests; which is most likely the case seeing how I don't pay much attention to the names of most quests 😏
My biggest mistake was trying to get the five stars up too fast it's better to get a good solid 3 and 4* bench before you ever dive in that deap it put me in a scale of gameplay that I was not ready for is what I'm saying just take your time and enjoy there's entirely too much to do in order to get in a hurry unless you're rich you have no chance to go that fast
The only alliance I have considered is invite only plus requires 1,400 raid trophies. I am a very active player who regularly attacks 3-4 star Titans and I also participate in Alliance Wars regularly. My best Titan Hit is 40,000 while my highest trophy score in Raids is 1,100. I use a defense down and an attack up hero. I use mana potions at the start to get the defense down, damage -attack item, damage -accuracy item, defense up item. I see so many guilds which can not keep members because the expectations of what a guild should look like is pure entitlement by the player. So, you have a handful of guilds which are thriving. The rest can not keep members. I do not want to be like that. I am unfortunately not socially skilled enough to invite members.
What is the purpose of storing adventures packs in TC 2? As far as I know, we can keep an unlimited supply, without using them. I’ve been playing for almost 4 1/2 years now and primarily use TC 11 & TC 20. If I need a certain color, I’ll use my adventure packs for that TC color. I’m just wondering what I’m missing. I’m always looking for new ways to up my game.
Not delegating alliance tasks.... One time I was at this group that they were super strict about Raid trophies, titan hits, basically everything and being super consistent player. That's why I created a group only of my and me very close friends and it's been 2 years since that happened and we've never been happier. Kicked out a few who joined us and ended up being strict since we just want to enjoy ourselves and not get too serious.
Hi Anchor this is Super najib from the Alliance great content i definitely relate to the mana troups mistake and the alliance sticking around staff and definitely the money and time consuming in this game it's very nice of you to share your experience with all of empire and puzzles community, kip up the good work 👍
Everyone has their own style of play, I myself love natalya, she burns greens for 1300+. no joke. And the emblems of 4* and 3*, some are worth it for long term play, especially for events, and its events that give you the best items. Those emblems sitting in your inventory won't help you in events or tournaments. Use emblems to receive emblems
Can I ask what lvl you are? 3 and a half years is a long time. Although I am passing the year and a few months myself. I know how you feel with being to much in the alliance. I'm a co leader then does more then the leader does.
You have mentioned it in another video too but I can't seem to find any info, hopefully you/someone else can help ... How do I know which it tc 2??? I have moved mine around. TY for all great info, ghost tiles helped me alot! 😊🤗
The biggest mistake I made in e&p was resetting Bane’s emblems (20) and gave them to some other hero I honestly don’t even remember. Regret it to this day because the domino effects really bit me
What about trading off ten 5 stars duplicates for a single replacement when that comes special event around? I have seen it and don't know if there is an additional cost other than the ten, but is that a better choice? And if so, how do you pick the one?

Last weekend I saw something at Larry's Pistol & Pawn Shop that sparked my interest. The occasion was our 15th anniversary and I was looking for a little something extra for my wife. What I came across was a 100,000-volt, pocket/purse-sized Taser. The effects of the Taser were supposed to be short lived, with no long-term adverse affect on your assailant, allowing her adequate time to retreat to safety....?? WAY TOO COOL! Long story short, I bought the device and brought it home. I loaded two AAA batteries in the darn thing & pushed the button. Nothing! I was disappointed. I learned, however, that if I pushed the button AND pressed it against a metal surface at the same time; I'd get the blue arc of electricity darting back and forth between the prongs. AWESOME!!! Unfortunately, I have yet to explain to my wife what that burn spot is on the face of her microwave. Okay, so I was home alone with this new toy, thinking to myself that it couldn't be all that bad with only two triple-A batteries, right? There I sat in my recliner, my cat Gracie looking on intently (trusting little soul) while I was reading the directions and thinking that I really needed to try this thing out on a flesh & blood moving target. I must admit I thought about zapping Gracie (for a fraction of a second) and thought better of it. She is such a sweet cat. But, if I was going to give this thing to my wife to protect herself against a mugger, I did want some assurance that it would work as advertised. Am I wrong? So, there I sat in a pair of shorts and a tank top with my reading glasses perched delicately on the bridge of my nose, directions in one hand, and Taser in the other. The directions said that a one-sec burst would shock and disorient your assailant; a two-sec burst was supposed to cause muscle spasms and a major loss of bodily control; a three-sec burst would purportedly make your assailant flop on the ground like a fish out of water. Any burst longer than three secs would be wasting the batteries. All the while I'm looking at this little device measuring about 5' long, less than 3/4 inch in circumference; pretty cute really and (loaded with two itsy, bitsy triple-A batteries) thinking to myself, 'no possible way!' What happened next is almost beyond description, but I'll do my best...? I'm sitting there alone, Gracie looking on with her head cocked to one side as to say, 'don't do it dipshit,' reasoning that a one second burst from such a tiny little ole thing couldn't hurt all that bad. I decided to give myself a one second burst just for heck of it. I touched the prongs to my naked thigh, pushed the button, and HOLY MOTHER OF GOD . . . WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION . . . WHAT THE HELL!!! I'm pretty sure Jessie Ventura ran in through the side door, picked me up in the recliner, then body slammed us both on the carpet, over and over and over again. I vaguely recall waking up on my side in the fetal position, with tears in my eyes, body soaking wet, both nipples on fire, testicles nowhere to be found, with my left arm tucked under my body in the oddest position, and tingling in my legs? The cat was making meowing sounds I had never heard before, clinging to a picture frame hanging above the fireplace, obviously in an attempt to avoid getting slammed by my body flopping all over the living room. Note: If you ever feel compelled to 'mug' yourself with a taser, one note of caution: there is no such thing as a one second burst when you zap yourself! You will not let go of that thing until it is dislodged from your hand by a violent thrashing about on the floor.. A three second burst would be considered conservative? IT HURT LIKE HELL!!! A minute or so later (I can't be sure, as time was a relative thing at that point), I collected my wits (what little I had left), sat up and surveyed the landscape. My bent reading glasses were on the mantel of the fireplace. The recliner was upside down and about 8 feet or so from where it originally was. My triceps, right thigh and both nipples were still twitching. My face felt like it had been shot up with Novocain, and my bottom lip weighed 88 lbs. I had no control over the drooling. Apparently I pooped on myself, but was too numb to know for sure and my sense of smell was gone. I saw a faint smoke cloud above my head which I believe came from my hair. I'm still looking for my nuts and I'm offering a significant reward for their safe return!
I have a question: I have two characters, azlar and grazul. I only have enough materials to ascend one right now. Which one should I ascend right now, which is the better one?
Hi, hopefully u ascended neither of them. If i had to choose i would say Grazul. Azlar, even with emblems dies very quick from a few blue tiles or a special. My best tip is if u have 2 mediocre heroes, dont ascend either. Materials like rings are hard to come by. I have a good team because i always waited for something better, rather then ascend a mediocre hero
One mistake i did at the beginning for quite some time was feeding the heroes with wrong colour heroes, doing the exact opposite of what i was supposed to do. Till i learnt...
As time goes by and you keep 1 or 2 heroes in your roster, say 2 Costume Rigards because he is useful in war. For 5*s you may have many duplicates for the reason of trading them out. Your roster space gets filled, you add more space to accommodate duplicates that are useful. Yes, its great to feed a hero with 10 of the same colour but odds are you won't have the space to store 10 reds or 10 blues at the same time. I agree in one sense its cheaper, efficient to level but you need an absolutely huge roster space and that too will cost you. Ultimately the best one can do is feed in 10 at a time and if you have more than 10, feed more of the same colour. One can adjust the colour to a specific coloured TC camp but that costs more hams to do so... and resources. I do this when I need a specific hero leveled faster. However, one can't keep that up forever as indeed its more costly in hams.
Yes you have got to be careful in the game chat ect. There are some real cranks in this game. I'm not talking about dedicated players who really want to win, but strange people who can turn on you and other players in the alliance because of there own personal problems. So I'm very careful in the chat these days.
Man he dumped on my favorite character, I know it's just an opinion, but she is the only hom I've been able to get. Been playing for 3 yrs everything he said is true, only recently joined an alliance. Not to be mean but I don't live on the game and didn't want people relying on me to be there everyday. Great tips thanks for sharing
I’m curious what everybody else thinks about building a second rank of 4* troops, as critical, instead of mana, for the Rush Attack Tournaments? Since you are already going at a fast pace doesn’t it make the mana troops less relevant?
Nope, bring your second set to 23 to help out on offensive attacks, Titan hits, etc. being able to have a average shave a tile and go off on 9 tiles instead of 10.
I don't level my ninja troops (unless I have a plethora of them, then I'll feed them to each other--Hey game! I don't need anymore dark ninja troops. 6 is WAY too many). Since I don't have enough mana troops for everybody during Rush, I first place my mana troops, then fill in with Ninja troops. Their damage buff starts really high anyway.
I'd say the hardest lesson learned was not being able to find good content like you have provided. Because of you I managed top 100 globally numerous times and number one in my country. You took this game and changed it in a way that it got me to stop playing pokemon go. I appreciate all your hard work for the community and you're still the man who everyone else aspires to be on youtube as per emp. Thx again
15:45... Oh man, you did same thing... exactly the same. you researched "advanced fire", probably mistakenly, then you saw "wtf is this shit, then not researched any other 3star advanced ones...
Where do you recommend farming Adventure's Kits/Backpacks? For the life of me, I can't get enough to keep TC2 going. During Atlantis event I think I farm 9-9, but that still doesn't get me thru the rest of the month unfortunately.
Depends on how much world energy you want to spend. Season 1, 5-8 is pretty good and only costs 3 energy. During Atlantis Rises, go nuts in Season 2, 1-8 for the same energy cost and a bigger haul.
Anchor-I mentioned to you about in a live stream about the ninja troops STARTING at 32--apparently there was a silent update and there are now 23%. So they aren't "all that" anymore-unless u think the alternate stacks is awesome. Did you hear if SG flubbed that up?

Bought my girl a 10 pull for Xmas during the next to last tavern of legends and she pulled her first 5*, Ares. Then she got a random bonus pull on a single draw next month amd got Zocc
I don't know how many times i heard "are you playing that stupid ass game again? .. Yes you are, your like a damn 2 year old". After about a year of that she secretly downloaded it just to see. Then i heard her talking smack to someone and it sounded like it could have been empires so i go in and when she saw that i caught her playing she had the hand in the cookie jar look and said yes im playing your stupid game and i go well now it's not just my stupid ass game laughed and said my alliance is hooterville you can join if you want and she said i already tried and i don't have enough trophies. Now she's in my alliance and plays everyday and i haven't been called a 2 year old in a long time lol.
Yes that is the Best way. Me and my partner are playing the same game, he is in a German alliance and i am in english/usa alliance. Soo nice to compare and share stuff
Hey man, anyway we can get whoever runs this game to stop messing with the boards? This curse and egg bomb stuff is making things not fun anymore. Leave the boards alone.
I've had the same situation recently. :) You should log in to the game (in the game's settings) with your Google Play account - the same one (!) that you used on the old phone. If you don't log in, all progress will be lost. Change was from Android to Android in my case. But I think on ios it's a similar situation. In any case, you can look up for further info on the gale's forum. Hope this helps, cheers!

I did not know the difference between mana troops and critical troops. I ended up leveling two critical troops to both level 22 and level 19. I fed both Azlar and Marjana to Bold Tusk because I did not understand the game. I also fed Boss Wolf to Obakan.
@@stevelawrence7782 there are better heroes than azlar I'd wait. It hurts more to hear the fate of boss wolf since he's an event hero that isn't easy to pull 🙁
