For clan wars ancient gems are best, in cw there is no false power. In portal is same thing, you need as much powers as you can get . In arena and gem bay is different thing, you must take care on every power that you get. In arena is best to make on unite or 2 units strong, and others to be workers.
Yeah, I think you've answered it perfectly, it depends on what you want to be good at, if you focus on arena and gem bay above all else then you need to be careful with gems, otherwise just add as much as you can for other areas of the game.
Thanks, is there such a thing as too much crit or too high numbers of magic power etc? I'm currently staying in L70 for quite a while now to get gems etc and every day I level them up but I never combined them so I'm glad I saw this and never did merge. Just wondering all I can do with mana is level up stats from characters but the game doesn't tell you if hit a cap where it's almost no use anymore adding. The only thing I can think of is that at some point when I upgrade the fort those numbers will come to use. just at 100 or so I should still know maybe not to blindly keep putting more power in stats and know when to move to another characters with those raw materials.
Well with this it is still worth aiming to add Level 1 Legendaries or Level 1 Ancients (preferably ancients) to your fighters, you can technically level up these gems but the slowly add fake power until you merge then again. With the other question yes I am very sure there are caps in the game to an extent, I remember reading something nearly 2 years ago showing the maximum of what stats should be (like crit, armour ect), but becusse this was so long ago and I can't find it again, so I wouldn't worry about it too much until you get nearer the 30million point, and from there just upgrade the weakest people in your team when it comes to these sort of stats.
Basically, everyone has answered you right, it's something to do with the company and Russia, I don't know much about it as it hasn't affected me yet but this will be something to just wait and see as they haven't even released any infirmation on the next event which unusual. So I'm sure they're trying to sort something out because they wouldn't want to lose more players if they can, just keep an eye on their main Facebook page.
I would level up certain red gems, like health, damage and spell power. But I would only do this once I have a full team of red gems, I've done this in the same way of getting a ful team of purples before I move onto the next level. Sometimes you don't need to do all the gems like crit on images, as this happens very infrequently, but hopefully you get the gist of what I was trying to say.
Fake power is an increase in your squad power, but nothing has changed for your squad in a positive way. For example in the video, if you add a Rune to the wrong person or you forget to swap them out, you could be gaining power for having the Rune on it, but becuase it's on the wrong person the Rune doesn't work, meaning you'll face harder opponents in the arena with the increase in power but you team won't be any stronger. This is also the same like adding spell power to your tanks, basically not needed and can hurt you in the long run.
The videos sound great, but for beginners it is all way to fast and complicated. The jargon used can mostly only be understood by experienced players. What I am looking for ist Rune stone or gems are…. You can get them by doing a,b or c. Maybe you have videos for Dummies. I am an old dummy and need the simplest of videos. Any chance of help? This actually goes for a number of topics. Also you jump around so much from one screen to another. No way can I follow that quickly.
