[AFK ARENA] BIGGEST MISTAKES TO AVOID! 

Sorry guys forgot to adjust the outro volume so beware headphone users. My bad :(

Everyone else: talks about sacrificing their legendaries for a mythic Me: you guys have legendary?

Me watching this video AFTER I’ve done all those mistakes :)

In the comment section. Guy: you should build your shemira Other guy: also try getting Lucius. Me who play this one for only 2 days: who TF is shemira and Lucius??

It's said that a wise person learns from his mistakes. A wiser one learns from others' mistakes. But the wisest person of all learns from others's successes.

Volkin: dont go for the carts Me who always does: years of academy training wasted

No one No one ever Me: Sacrafices all of the acended tier people for a lucius

Don't forget that you can lock your heroes so you don't end up feeding them by accident!

Hey just a quick edit for newer players, I know Volkin explained it very well how ever some people may not know the actual importance of red chests from Elite enemies, and brown chests from common enemies. Now as he stated early on, all you really want to focus on is doing as many fights as you can to maximize your Labyrinth tokens (to buy heroes from the store and loot in general that require you to have Labyrinth tokens), but eventually (out of no where also) the lab starts getting pretty difficult. So you want to focus on doing choosing the red chests battles. You can also look ahead at some of the blocks (the only ones that appear when you pprogress are battles) and see what they have to offer. For example if a block like 6 spaces away might have Lucious, Brutus, Shemira, Nemora Etc. If you have say a weak link or say they can give you a faction bonus etc., basically just really make your team better, I'd grab it once things get difficult. Not to many though because the bonuses from the chests are the main things that will help you through the lab. Also with your Duras tears, imo you should use all of your heros before using a tear because it revives all your dead heros, and restores any injured ones to max hp. Keep in mind, if the other team has a healer and can increase the enemies health over the dmg you have already dealt, so dont fight with a squad that allows them to regain any before you use a tear. I've found this useful, my main acc was lacking an above average tank. Was using Golas and Hogan in front of Saveus, Rosaline, and Belinda lol. So the addition of Brutus and Lucious really amped things up, especially since they come at a high lvl and ascended. Sorry about the rant again Volkin lol.

The temptation of sacrificing khasos for a mythic brutus is hard

Just started playing yesterday and I have no idea what he's talking about. Hope I can pick it up soon

Great tip on keeping heroes. I hit faction towers recently and I don’t even have 5 heroes for some, even the elite+ help out to get the bonus.

I like to click try again if I'm losing a battle in the lab because it resets the fight

This is so funny. I just figured out about leveling only 5 heroes this morning. I've reset 4 heroes so far and those reclaimed resources have really helped leveling my top 5. Gotten another 30 levels across all my other characters in the Resonating Crystal. Great advice!

If you have 100 k laberint coins, you still get coins, just they get sent to your mail.

So true, I also decided yesterday to just work on 5 and reset the rest, only thing I'm thinking is if they die in the labyrinth then u have no others to carry on through

Hehehe stright up ghee, I was hard guilty for doing this when I first started and wasnt aware of the crazy shit drop rates. I'm lv127 and full FTP and wasted all my graveborn and maulers early game to do up my shemira n brutus completely, and since like level 89 I have only had 1 mauler past legend plus lol. Keep it up dude awesome info on the game! Will help the new FTP players!

Bruh I had that same leveling problem until I saw this. I progressed so much smoother after prioritizing my top heroes. I even learned some pairings that synergize so thanks for this, Volkin!

The tip on the arcane labyrinth really helped me. Do as many spaces without pulling cards or using the wells or the resurrection. Also picking the red chest over the brown. Went from using two duras tears to barely losing any heroes. Awesome tip thanks

I made that mistake with skreg and fawkes when I first started playing and I deeply regretted this especially for fawkes 😭 I have got legendary + of fawkes now but it took time. You gave some really useful tips that I'd recommend to new players! I've played afk for ~4yrs now and wish I knew this info when I first played but now I basically do this all by habit 😂

Here's my experience and thinking: I sacrificed heroes that weren't helpful for me in the near future to boost my main teams through campaign,tower,arena and labyrinth. I have no regrets because when my main teams are already maxed out or 5stars I would then sacrifice their copies for others in the far future. Like a give and take relationship. There is an end but you can choose many paths to get there. I am lvl143 currently at chapter 23. Just logging in to get some essences and do dailies/weeklies. Heroes you should never sacrifice: Shemira, Rosaline,Lucius,Brutus,Khasos,Lyca,Nemora,Tasi,Nara, Fawkes,Estrilda,Belinda,Rowan,Athalia,The Twins. My opinion. XD

Thank you! Your videos are great : ) I almost was about to sacrifice my legendary plus Estrilda to make Belinda mythic, but I guess I will wait for more legendary tier fodder before I do that.

Volkin 1 year ago: keep your ascended heroes Volkin 2020: damn, I fed all my Raine copies

It's been a month now playing AFK. This is really helpful. I'm so getting a hang of it! Argghh 😩😁

Hi Volkin don't forget that Mythic weapons for tanks have a % of physical resistance wich can go up to 18%, this bonus only appears for Legendary+ and Mythic Weapons, wich I think is worth going for, It was the first item I bought after I finished with my main DPS dealer.

I sacrificed legeneary+ shemirs to make ferael mythic

Tbh I've fed the odd 1 elite + to get another to legendary sometimes you have to heroes will come around again. An if money is a problem an you can't spend alot of money it has to be done.

Thank you Volkin ! 👍

I just got this game and have no idea what I'm doing lol.

Wow this would have been helpful to know BEFORE I made all these mis takes

Im a new player so this really helped! Also love ur vids

Your voice is very soothing and thank you for the tips!!!

Volkin: Red enemies are not matter. * New player * be like

Finding your videos very helpful especially about resonating crystals. One thing that I am having difficulty is just in relation to my top 5. Would you suggest having one or two from different factions and is there much point having an L+ hero as one of the top 5 as surely sooner or later they will be fed to an ascended hero?

One mistake I did is I used all my gear to enchant one gear lol

I'm at my end-ish game (level 260 for the characters) and I find hiring heroes in labyrinth has helped me immensely in clearing the hard Wrizz 3rd labyrinth. See, I only have elite Rowan and I don't have the twins, but if I see them for hire (usually at 2-star ascended tier with +10 or more SI grade), I'd go hire them in a heartbeat. In the 3rd (hard) labyrinth there is also 1 hero for hire but you have to defeat them first, I find Tasi, Belinda, and Ferael over there is OP. 3rd labyrinth Belinda can one-shot multiple heroes even in hard mode (couple that with Rosaline!).

Thanks for the tips!

Hey Volkin, still learning the game and having a blast learning from your vids! but totally unrelated......is that a nidoking statue behind you and how did you get it??

been playing the game for a week and i'm loving it! currently at chapter 8

IMO the best thing in the store for early game is to purchase all the blues you can as fast as you can. They make for great feed later on. Around the time you unlock the faction towers is when I’d recommend saving up for higher tier heroes. That way right when you get them you can head to the ascension chamber and gain massive progress in a short time

Great stuff! Keep 1 copy of each care, cause you never know what the next patch might be!!

You seem to be one of the only one that actually responds to the comments you deserve more subs and that's what I'm doing

4:15 everything is a jojo reference.

I've been running into multiple instances where I get stuck on Labyrinth so getting the 45k Lab points I needed to buy those heroes, Is there a chance to get some more info or another vid for tips and tricks for the this mode or is it just a trial and error type thing?

Glad to know I'm doing well with these do not list. I am slowly leveling my Light bringers team as I mainly level my main team.

You never failed to help us ma boii keep it going 👌

I used elite+ lyca , estrilda , ulmus as food

The Skreg rework is another reason to not do this, heroes getting revamped is constant.

I almost use my E+ Hendrick to make my Legendary Gwyneth. Thank god that I found you, your videos help me alot. Thank you Volkin

To 3 of my accounts I have maxed labyrinth points. When they are maxed the rest come in the mail. I waited for the labyrinth store to reset before collecting them, received all of them.

Love your videos :)

Haha watching this again a year later is amazing 😂 I totally did a lot of these and I'm glad I've improved so much since last year

Yeah I remember sacrificing a Kaz to my Lyca because I got tired of waiting

Thank you for the tips I just started playing afk arena and decided to search up some tips and not make silly mistakes thx 🙂🙂 Edit: Guys is the epic Skreg good?

Hey, man! First off, your videos are very helpful! Keep it up! Question tho: I'm new to this game and have 2 accounts due to rerolling. I ended up with Brutus + Khazos on the first, and Shemira + Belinda on the second. Which account do you think should I opt for? Thanks!

I am still to this day making the leveling mistake with the Resonating Crystal. I've got a 160 Saveas in my crystal formation, and I could have a Mythic Lyca take his place and still use Saveas. Thank you for that, I don't know why it didn't dawn on me to change that. I've been looking for the right time to leave Saveas behind, this might be it. I'm currently running level 200 Shemira (Ascended), level 180 Lucius (Mythic), level 180 Belinda (Mythic), level 170 Rowan (Mythic), and level 160 Saveas (Leg+). My plan was to drop Saveas as soon as I had nothing else to level up (Rowan to 180)...because as soon as I get Rowan and Lyca to 180, I can put another 20 levels into Shemira. So while this was indeed a mistake, I'm lucky it hasn't actually negatively impacted me yet. - I made one major mistake that I have been kicking myself for, and this has drastically hindered my progress. I made a Legendary Belinda after I already had a Legendary+ Belinda...I assumed I needed 2 Leg+ Belinda's to make her Mythic. So this mistake cost me 2 Elite+ Belinda's. 1 to make the mistake and 1 to fix the mistake (made her Leg+ and then fed her to Rowan to make Mythic). Instead of having 1 Ascended Shemira and 4 Mythic characters on my team; I could have a 1 Star Belinda an Ascended Shemira and 3 Mythics.

ive watched this video back then and still do these ive fed about 2 ascended worth tasi's

I don't see a lot of talk about that, but is it a good thing to focus on one faction in particular? I'm pretty much only using wilders, for example.

Granted for some instances sacrificing an ascended tier hero isn’t so bad especially if you’re not dropping a bunch of money on the game. People that spend money on the game will be summoning heroes all the time but those that don’t might take weeks or even a month to get enough fodder to ascend a hero

I guess the best option to ascend heroes is by using the legendary heroes list rather than Ascended ones. They're pretty easy to earn and it's cheap.

Nobody: Nobody ever: Me: sacrifices thane and Belinda and kaz and farael and grezhul and skreg

I sacrifice lot of raine and thane because i don't like at all and find them usefull as material for ascend other lightbear

I've never sacrificed any of the ascended tier heroes😅 and I've been on afk for a month but you've earned yourself a new subscriber:)

Ughhh, I'm thinking of all of the mistakes that I made when I first started playing this game 😭. I've used so many ascendable heroes to feed other ascendable heroes. It makes me sick to my stomach just thinking about what I did😔

Love You Volkin! ^3^

Volkin the last vid about rerolling accounts just a couple minutes ago i had in my first summon a shemira and the 2nd summon a double purple khasos and tasi

So about that wishlist video you linked in description?

If only I saw this earlier lol luckily I didn't make too many mistakes but I did sacrifice oden to my shemira for mythic

Good video thanks

The one thing I totally missed was the Legends Challenge thing. I couldn’t play it as a newbie, and just never went into it. I never even knew there was a store for it, because I didn’t realise the store selector at the bottom scrolled! Possibly months of not getting heroes by spending challenger coins. Such an idiot 😟

Personally I'm alright with feeding lower tier ascended heros to upgrade my core team. As long as I already have enough heros of that class for a full team (for king's tower) I'm happy to sacrifice the less useful heroes so that I can get further in the present rather than bank on a possible buff in the future. At least until the units on my crystal get to Ascended so I can max level everyone.

I had 3 elite+ Raine and I have to Mythic+ Lucien, Rowen, Rosaline and Belinda... I mean... I used 1 of the 3 elite+ as fodder xD

Ive made atleast every mistake possible and def is shown by how far behind i am despite starting early on when the game first came out

2:00 was thinking on doing that, but hessitated whether or not do it since I could use them as fooders.

Very nice of you

this game was always showing up in ads and I don't know why they decided to be a bit scammy with the ads. they could've shown the gameplay itself because it's really well done in my opinion. it took a while for me to decide to download it and it was not because of the ads. now I'm hooked

Definitely didn't convince me to keep uniques on the chance that they might be upgraded eventually. Nemora was a core team member on my first play, and in the last two months on a brand new account, and she hasn't survived long enough to heal a single time. Considering there are so many alternate healers now that there weren't the last time I stopped playing, I was happy to sacrifice her

Months ago I sacrificed my Tasi to my Nemora LOL finally got enough copies to ascend them both, was it worth it? I will never know :) Great videos!

I came to this video with low expectations of generic advice. I was pleasantly mistaken. Thank you for the actually helpful advice.

With Lab I only go for the hero carriage if someone I don’t have and just want to try like ainz.

I had to take all my heroes to the Rickety Cart and start over. It was painful but had to be done lol.

Once you reach chapter 19/20 start saving up ur guild coins cause in.chapter 21 u can get tokens to get mythic plus gear. Btw Gwyneth is actually rly good surprisingly even at elite plus at floor 100 in faction tower and stfd

Tip to beginer in a nutshell : Don't spend your diamonds unless it garanty you to have 10 heros, or 1 garantie elite. If there is a confirm message in the temple of ascension, click no.

Coming back to watch this.. skregg was my first elite. Well Grezhul was technically, but I made a different acc fairly quickly and started with Skregg. I sold him out to upgrade Brutus, at the time Brutus was.. well Brutus. Now Skregg is arguably one of the best Tanks in the game, in fact at the time I thought he was dope. Always carried my team lol but I listened to other people unfortunately. I'm gonna build him again though! Edit: I do think, or at least hope Brutus will get a rework, as well as Lucious to make them more end game viable. A rework to their SI and Furniture would be great. Shemira, and Kelthur as well.

I have a question: which is better and what should I use. Im using lucius, Belinda. Rosaline, estrlida. Should I use fawkes or Raine as my last card?

I had an elite+ Thane, Estrilda and Mirael. I don’t care bout the Mirael, and the temple of ascension was trying to get me to combine my Thane and Estrilda. I legit just wasted diamonds trying to get another Morvus, that was torture but now I have a legendary Thane. Also I’m like, early into the game sadly.

I always go to the carts and fountains cuz i might die but now that i can hire heroes from my allies, im fine lol

I skipped some parts so idk if this question is answered or not but will the Labyrinth tokens disappear after it refresh?

Yay! New vid lol And also 8th!

I've literally put an elite+ and legendary+ nemora into tasi and someone nemora still got ascended before a lot of other people i have

Hey mate, what about the Barracks store? What should I focus on there?

Please more of this kind of stuff....I literally made EVERY SINGLE ONE of these mistakes😂😂😂😑😑😑

I haven't done any of this mistakes excapt the labyrinth one,i always take 2 help heros from the beginning.IK it's wrong but i may lose if i don't do that

One thing is the using gems for summons on anything but 10 summons 300 a pop compared to 2700 for 10

Ira : I wish I could be ascended tiers, so peoples will not throw me, but love me instead. Silvina : Same Hogan : Well said Saveas : Idem *Raine* : I wish it too 😭

8:04 Rigby,Thane: phew im saved oh wait..

at the time im posting this comment, im at 16-20. I started playing 3 months ago (around late april-early may). This dude is insane

I think im too late 😂 just started 3 days ago and i didn't know about the labyrinth thing. Better late than never i guess

The problem is that I'm a person who will not pay on this game, so the probabilities to be able to ascend that much heroes is imposible to me almost. So I wanna have a team of ascended, be able to get through the game, and (even when I just did once to feed posible ascended) idc of losing 1 ascended who I will never get ascend.

I trashed legendary+ gwyneth to make astrilda to mythic cause i were desperate but i have 2 elite+ astrilda so she can go to ascended now did i made a huge mistake or no cause i dont want to use her anyway...
