How to complete any stage (quest/event) in Empires and Puzzles 

In my opinion Brienne works for low level stages but it's getting hard to use her for over 3500/3600 level where she just gets one shot by bosses. There is no way to end the S1 23-11 with Brienne for instance.

I'm having trouble getting 4 and 5 star hero's..

You would have finished quicker if you activate Wu before using Grimm. thank you for the tutorials. I have been using your trip to grow the power of my heroes and fill all the stages of the power level.

I agree with Henrique. While risky as per Wu Kong's ability, the damage a special can do is obscene when it hits when buffed by both Gambler's Stance and Warcry. I presently use a team consisting of Melendor, Wu Kong, Boril (or Cyprian, depending on whether Ice or Dark is better for the board), Boldtusk, and Peters. I also have Colen maxed out, and a good few other 4* heroes to level up. I haven't gotten a lot of heavy hitters in terms of specials yet, apart from Scarlett and Colen. Peters is great for just wrecking things if I get a decent amount of Nature shields, especially on bosses as that silence can give me that little bit of breathing room I need. All in all, excellent video. I didn't learn anything I didn't already figure out for myself, but seeing an effective strategy for beating a stage that is close to 300 higher power than your team is always awesome.

Wukong makes the game easy. Wish I could get tarlak on a draw tho. In a few hours I start sh 20.

Not worth the risk I.m.o

totally worth the risk imo

Awesome to hear! Glad it helps!

Try firing off king kong then use colens firestorm 😁...wrecked

Sarahs ASMR they lack strategic things... and observation skills.

I always try and check too. I get that not everyone can catch everything, but it's def a great tip to include so that people can at least be on the lookout.

It means u don't have that color hero in your line up. In this case purple.

HatSchoom1 Wu kong is not a must, doubling up on the healers and making sure all specials are charged before next stage is way more important

@@AnchorGamed Okay thank you for the answer :) .

He suggested that "a lot of people have him." I... guess? I wish I had him. I have some okay substitutes for him, at least.

15 months of play, 53 level and yeah... No Wu Kong for me. Wu Kong should be first hero insted of Bane. For me the game is... unfair in this point.

@@jeekooz My first ever pull for 300 gems was Wu Kong, first Atlantis Wilbur... Im lucky.

@@jeekooz don't insult Bane like that 🙄

@@RigginTheRod010 Where! Where I insult mr great warrior Bane? Where!? ehhh just go back to rig of rods kid ;-)

Roy Bär i think it just depends on where people are at with their team development. I can’t speak for other alliances but other top alliances never use blue tanks.

For most people, heavy hitting fast 4* green snipers are rare, so apart from Caedmon (fast), most people are limited to Skittleskull and Little John (both AoE) who are both slow mana and take an age to charge. Try stacking 1 to 1 damage heroes like yellow and purple to defeat the blue tank.

With a 3 star team, Gunnar or Kailani for the +63 defense buff and damage sharing can make a real difference. Take your time and running with two healers can make a difference as specials just won't cut it so you rely on tile damage.

They usually come along if you fight titans, do the wanted missions, and quests, but they're scarce. The only ppl who lvl up 4 and 5*s quickly pay money for gems and when they see specials, they use the gems until they get whatever materials they need. I need 8 sturdy shields rn and i could probably use the same amount of hidden blades. I also need more gloves and compasses. I've heard it can take 6 months or more to lvl up a 5* without paying for materials and that seems about right.

@@sarahmonique5321 I have a question for you if you don't mind, Sarah. What the heck are nodes? I have only played the game since November last year and I see how everyone has their players leveled up to the highest and little numbers called nodes on the little yellow arrow parts. What the heck is that all about, please? By the way, I am in an alliance where there are only four to five players who actually play the game. The leader and co-leader haven't played for over a year or so. Gets disheartening seeing other alliance members doing absolutely nothing...*sigh* I have six 5 leveled stars but I prefer my 3 and 4 leveled players instead. Especially, if I combined them just right. I also saw on another comment thread that I am like you. I have almost completed both stage 1 and 2 as well. I honestly have to agree on with most of what you said as it is a game where you see players for what they are due to the way they play the game. Look forward to hearing from you as you seem far more knowledgeable than most.

@@ZoomZoomBoom24 oh wow, thanks Patricia. Idk about calling them nodes, but i think you're talking about using emblems for the talent grid. The talent grid pops up after you've completely leveled any hero, regardless of their rank. You just have to be careful how u use them. Usually, I see a lot of ppl making up their own terms for items in this game when they only believe they know how to play, but maybe they're supposed to be called nodes idk lol. One person i ran into used to call the stages in the provinces "stories", someone else calls trophies "raid points". Typically those ppl make up those terms to make themselves feel like experts or something. Leave that alliance and find another one. Seriously. One of my alliance's requirements is that players be active. If someone won't be playing for more than 5 days or so, we're supposed to let one another know or be kicked. If we're kicked because of an unexpected absence, we can just join again, no hard feelings, but that's never happened. The only person exempt from being kicked is our alliance's founder. Even I'm subject to being kicked if I don't play for an extended amount of time.

@@sarahmonique5321 Hey Sarah, It's 5 months too late but I took your advice and searched for the right alliance for myself and another player who is a family member. Our leader is very active. We are now hitting 9 to 10 star titans, actually using a strategy in our wars with uniformed tanks, defence etc. Best of all their is great communication with all the members on discord. All thanks you! Ps. I am about to complete stage 2...finally!

@@ZoomZoomBoom24 that's so cool!! I stopped playing a little while back b/c of an issue with Google Play and didn't bother to start again, but if I do, I may need to find your alliance and join!! And you're welcome. I'm just glad any advice I gave worked out for you :-)

He's a beast

Thanks for the support

That is retarded.

I have also used my share of gems to finish stages so this was helpful to me.

@@juansek208 He said use to!!! He might be new during that time.

@@babyyoda4294 Exactly! I can't tell you how many diamonds I wasted when I first started, & that was only about 3 months ago

Mateo Cruz awesome to hear!

It's serious for those who like to strengthen their teams. Especially, if you get attacked a lot by people who learnt this strategic tactic. Your tank is usually the one in the middle which is your strongest hero, which is the one that is tougher in attack, defense, health etc. Your offense is usually those beside your tank. Some players will put in a couple of defensive heroes beside their tank. Then your healers/defense are those that are usually placed on the outside. These are the ones that can be ( if chosen wisely ) the hardest to kill in a war, or raid. Watch and learn from this guy, from NittanyLionRoar, and Yukisama ( can't remember his last name but he is German and has a lot of useful information for those who want to learn. If you are on Empire and Puzzles then you should also learn about strategy, hero placement, hero strengths, which heroes are most important in battle etc. For example: Tank could be Frida. Offensive could be Wu Kong and Ranvir beside Frida then beside Joon could be Boldtusk and beside Wu Kong could be Seshat. That is one example. My team is Frida as Tank, Buddy beside her on the left and on her right is Hu Tao with Rigard next to him and then Kunchen beside Buddy. I change them around according to circumstance. I'm a new player and I have learned this from my team members in my alliance and on discord where the leader goes into great depth about everything that we may have missed in general. Also: If you have an android phone then go to play store and look for an app called, Empire and Puzzles Companion as it shows you everything about the heroes ( past and present ) and what their strengths, health, defense is in your teams. Hope that helps. Ps. Don't forget to look for a great alliance that will help you to grow as a player.

On attack, the concept of a tank is kind of meaningless as all attacks are special, not tiles. On defense, you need a solid tank as 3 out of 5 attacking tiles are going to hit the tank first.

No, you need to launch tiles on the other side to get a lot of mana quickly

Specials can miss so it's safer to fire them first, especially those that do more than just damage (like Grimm's defence debuff).

Aries Might He definitely spends something as you can see his VIP pet dragon you get with a subscription, sitting in its nest on the stronghold 😉 But yeah, the rate of return in this game is pretty bad - especially when you look at the odds of getting each item - in the bundles that say “at least 2 of the following” there’s usually only a 10% chance of getting 3 drops - and having the 2 least useful and common items in the bundle with odds as high as 33% each with the rest of the items however many, making up the remaining 33% between them. There’s a bundle currently available with ascension items - and the items like shield or gloves have just a 1.4% chance of dropping - for 600 gems a piece that’s going to end up really expensive if you rely on this for getting certain items. Just my thoughts - fun game but as less people are paying money, it’s starting to become a more obvious money-grab 😉

Preaching to the choir amigo. He also left out the pain of leveling up the heroes

There's no way you're beating that level with only level one heros lol... you're gonna have to have some fairly leveled heros before you start taking on some of the hardest challenges in the game.

you probably don't want to miss with those, especially if you are using them more for the armor debuff/blind, the tile damage will be the raw power tbh.

If you have Li Xiu or Chao, must use them and need at least two healer. then check out progress

any other mana reducing heroes also works

mirrorless It took me two tries. Went with Rigard, Wu, Guin (3-67), Gormek, Melendor (3-60). First run I had Sonya in for Guin, but she wasn’t doing any damage, in Guin went.

I don’t think I understand your question

Ok not sure if I’m explaining it right or asking it right. In to top left it shoes color tiles and if I click on them it says move weaker tiles to create more powerful tiles. Unless I’m over thinking it, just started playing... Trying to find a lil nitch never been a gamer but this game is pretty cool

@@michaeldavis8452 It just shows a progression of which tiles are strong against which tiles; purple and yellow (2:1 against each other) do 1:1 to R,G,B, Red does 2:1 against green, green does 2:1 against blue and blue does 2:1 against red. They are referred to as "strong colour".

I'm still using 3*s as well. As long as they're levelled up to their full potential and u manage to pick the right lineup for your teams, u should be ok. My fave 2* heroes are still Olaf & Zudak. Fave 3* heroes (so far) are Bane, Balthazar, Belith, and Gan Ju. Azar & Valen are pretty good as well, but I'm still levelling them up. The best reason to have 5* heroes is to earn cups from raids.

@@sarahmonique5321 3* heroes won't take u far in this game..

@@medjhanimarriott9605 uh, yh they do. I currently have 1500 trophies and I'm one of the top players in my alliance and I still use 3* heroes. Certain 3*s are weak imo, but many of them are extemely useful when levelled up to their full potential: Bane, Belith, Berden, Gunnar, Valen, and Balthazar to name a few of them. I've noticed a lot of ppl don't know how to play this game and think that all they need are 4 and 5* heroes, but I've kicked many teams' asses with what they consider a pitiful lineup.

Sarah Monique you have a really bad alliance is all. The dude was right. 3* ain’t shit.

@@jfrandeli Wow. Rude much for no reason? Judge whatever and however u wish, but the only people who think "3s ain't s#!t" are the main ppl who spend a bunch of money and don't really know how to play E&P. I take it you're in one of those alliances with requirements like "no less than 2000 trophies" or bs like that. I personally don't want to be in one of those alliances and I'd rather be in one with decent ppl. Also, this is a GAME and i think ppl who spends hundreds of dollars playing this are idiots (those in the "high brow" alliances for instance). 2 more things: it takes a long time to get required materials to level up 4 and 5*s--unless you're willing to spend a lot of money; also, certain quests require 3*s so a lot of ppl lvl them up and continue to use them. Perhaps you should learn how to play this game rather than @-ing ppl who actually know how to use heroes that you clearly don't understand.

I could be wrong because I'm trying to pull from memory, but I'm pretty sure the maximum for minor healing potions you can bring to battle is 20, & minor mana potions are 10.

nanadx3 you click on the specific enemy you want to hit and then click your hero special

He meant that he didn’t have Bane charged at the start of final lvl- Bane blinds enemies.

Bane, Wu Kong and Hu Tao all have the special talent to blind. Very handy.

Or use arrows.

brett schletty when you click on any Province in season 1 on the farming map you will see some levels with winged stages, those have elite enemies in it

It was suggested to me to join a training alliance, one that has a lot of beginners in it. It's less intense. I like the alliance I've joined (Re'Exhistence). It may just be helpful to join one to get tips and help you level up faster through wars and titans? You can always leave if you don't like it :)

You can join wars if you're in an alliance... fight titans too

Yes you can. Thing is, there is no down side to joining an alliance. You don't need to be the the top hitter, just participate and if the alliance defeats the titan, you get to share in the rewards.................

Jesus Gonzales Jr. I appreciate it. Tbh a big reason I joined Toastmasters was to work on my delivery and something I’m consciously trying to work on with my “filer words”

@@AnchorGamed had the same problem!! I'm a DJ and host of trivia. Hardest thing for me was not doing the uh and um. That's why I pointed it out to you

Melissa Miller line.me/ti/g/xt15r6jonF

After you download Line, you’ll click on that group

You can still feed a hero at max level if there special isnt at max. The only time you cant feed a hero is when its max level and max special.

You max a maxed/fully ascended heroes special ability by using 4 x 2 star troops for a guaranteed 1 level up or 10 x 1 star troops for the same.

looks like 1 year old.

david pierce What alliance are you in and what’s your name in the game? I could probably help you if I see your team.

I no longer create content for Empires & Puzzles. I've moved to my new full-time game, Raid Shadow Legends-come join me here: t2m.io/May24_Anchor

Work on team synergy (complimentary skills) and defense, make sure you have them arranged from left to right in the order you want your specials to activate.

This has two basic three stars, one you get for free. And 3 basic 4*s. Idk how much more newbie it could get.

By matching 5 tiles of the same color on one move
