I binge watched your entire beginner E & P episodes last night. I am soooo thankful for all the knowledge that you have shared! Now I don't feel so lost! I have been playing blindly for 2 months doing all the wrong things. I haven't joined an alliance yet because I was too scared of the unknown. Now i know what to focus on and feel much better. Thank you Thank you Thank you!
Absolutely! Head over to the forum to find alliances that are recruiting. There’s alliances for beginners, experts, and everyone in between. forum.smallgiantgames.com/
This video is absolutely fantastic. So educational. I just posted it to my alliance telling everyone to watch it. I mean, you just summed up so many issues in one solid vid, I am just in awe of the intelligence here. Great job bro. You are an asset to the entire E&P community.
When you started talking about War flags I couldn't agree more. It's super frustrating to have members not use all flags. There were times where we won by 1 point and vice versa all because of a flag
I have lucked out, my alliance is so good about using all flags. There are times when someone totally spaced out that they had one or two left, but on average we have 100% participate. It's awesome!
Michelle, you have described my alliance quite well. I kind'a understand when they have 6 flags left (ie did not log in during the war), but we have many members who finish with 4, 2 or 1 flag remaining. I think the excuse for 1-flaggers is that their last team was too weak to have an impact on the war. That issue is dealt with in this video so no need to continue with that. But how do you finish with 4 flags left? We have 24hrs in which to use them. You can be at lunch break at work, on the bus/train, on your couch at home, at the fast food outlet waiting for your order to get done. How many minutes does a battle take? I've left 2 alliances before because the majority never fought titans or used war flags. I like my current alliance friends and if not for them, I would have left weeks ago.
I never use up all flags, because I only keep 10 heroes, so it's enough to form 2 teams, sometimes I manage to form a third, super weak team with newly summoned heroes.
@@Robert-zc5be you have 24 hours to prep for war so in that time and during a war do not level you heroes. Instead you should keep all heroes and use 6 flags. After that you can start leveling again
[another] Honorable mention: not fleeing a battle when A) you can't do substantial damage and B) they're about to heal/potentially resurrect. (especially relevant during field aid!)
@@astralmindny9055 I'm not sure if you're joking or serious, but if it's the latter, you're wrong. There are plenty of instances where fleeing will help your alliance more than staying and fighting. Picture the following situation: You're down to one hero left who has about 100hp. You've taken out three heroes on the other team, but the wings - Alberich and Magni - are still alive. Both are around 50% health and both have their skills ready. You don't have the tiles to ensure beating either of them. Sharkey's approach: Flee, take the 25 points or so and one of his teammates has relatively simple clean-up of two half-defeated wings. Lots of room in the middle to ghost tiles. Godmind's approach: stay and fight! Connect three tiles against Alby and do 150 damage. Then Alby fires his special, heals himself and Magni and resurrects Kunchen (tank) and Gravemaker. Then Magni takes out Godmind's last hero. Now Godmind's teammates have a much more difficult cleanup with no area to ghost tiles, and Godmind gets much fewer points for the flag. You're telling me you think it's better to stay and fight? And if you still aren't convinced, go watch Mr. Roar's alliance battle video from the other day. He himself fled one of the battles, IIRC. Even if it's a regular healer and not Alby or Mother North, the principle is the same.
Thankyou!! The tips on not using strong duplicates & resisting randomness madness really helped....also thankyou for reminding others about the importance of togetherness in an alliance...I began playing in January. I joined my alliance at level 7...now I'm level 28 and they are like another family...many have come and gone. We all really try hard and it is frustrating when someone uses no flags in war or on Titan...
I have been watching videos by the veteran players of the game. Thank you so much for sharing these comprehensive tips! Really useful to improve in playing the game. I just really have to be patient in doing things in the game, like leveling up heroes and fighting in raids. 😀
Nice video. I like how you talked about the low percentages of getting 5 stars and you've got a tonne of them! You've definitely put the time into the game though
Great video..posted it for a members of our alliance..we are mostly new players with little experience, but with the heart of a lion...this helps tremendously!! Thx...i signed up for your channel after watching this..
I learned the 'use all war flags no matter what' when my alliance tied. all we needed was 1 pt, so of course, people with uwf were kicked! Your videos are always super informative which really helps us that are still learning!
@@vyduong2626 Everything is wrong with it. It's a gross waste of time. They should honestly do away with the animation all together. Just trust and tap the screen.
It is ridiculous. The animation also makes this grand show about it, and makes it look like your hero will change in appearance, when it doesn’t. It is a waste of time.
Rant on Randomness from a Programmer's Perspective lol What's funny about randomness in a piece of software is that computers cannot be *truly* random. They don't have thoughts the way humans do. There's a mathematical formula used to *emulate* randomness. And all mathematical formulas inevitably have a pattern to it. For example, the Java algorithm for Math.random function returns a "pseudo-random" number with an equal chance of getting each number within a given range. What happens over thousands of iterations is that you see patterns form in the "randomness" and an *even* distribution of numbers generated by the function. ------ Board generation example: Based on how they sort heroes in the hero roster by color, we can assume SG has the following numbers assigned to each color: Purple 0 Yellow 1 Blue 2 Green 3 Red 4 So when they generate the board, they'll create all the tiles and generate a random whole number between 0 and 4 for each tile to determine the color of each tile. Since the algorithm only generates 35 tiles per initial board (and a couple tiles at a time when they pop up), it *seems* random. You'll need a much much larger sample size to find if one color shows up more than another in a statistically significant way. An expert player (like you!) knows that each new tile has exactly a 1 in 5 chance of being the color you want. So unlocking the randomness helps you turn the board in your favor... like setting up diamonds from tiles that aren't even on the board yet.
I knew that leveling up with different colors was okay. So many players argue against this, but I have found myself finally with someone else who understands!
Great video like always ! Can i ask you if u can make video where u will show which talent path you took for your main heroes ? I know u made video what we should focus on, but when we have to chose 2% mana or maybe % of def what should we choose and if u can show us your paths with explanation it would be great
I absolutely love this video! I passed on some of this information to my own alliance. Here's your list (respectively), if you don't mind me posting. 1) Lock your Heroes and Troops 2) Don't ignore building Troops 3) Train 10 of the same element with a Hero 4) Keep all of your acquired Legendary Heroes 5) Focus on your farms and mines first 6) Don't let randomness drive you crazy 7) Use all of your War Flags 8) Comply to Alliance Rules 9) Try to level up when a Titan is available 10) Send Troops down open gaps during battles with other opponents. I couldn't agree more with this list! I believe that I learned #3 based on watching this video. It is so much better. Especially when you've already leveled them up and you only need to level up the Special Skill. Some player may not notice that the Special Skill percentage does increase. I have to admit that I would get really pissed off with #6, especially during a raid or a tournament. Also, with a Titan battle. However, with a Titan Battle, you can bring a tournament. I'm talking about getting a bad board. I have to understand that sometimes it's going to happen. I have to learn now to get frustrated with that. It's really hard not to throw a bunch of F bombs. #7 is one of the things that aggravates me most regarding other players. It tends to be a common issue. If all players would use all of their flags in some capacity, then the outcome would be different. Which brings me to #8. I created a point system because of this (and Titan battles). If our team loses to a Titan Battle or War, they get minus points because of their inactivity. If a player gets too many negative points, we'll kick them from the alliance.
Great stuff, just started playing the game. Already figured most of these stuff by my self but learned few things I didn't know. Thank you, like and subscribe.
Hi Nittany, thank you for all your video's. I have learnt so much from watching your channel. One thing I do need to ask, why do you have the animation sounds on when you summon? Are you able to turn the volume down on them because it seems very loud. Other than that, please dont stop with your video's, they are always very informative.
Thanks for the ghosting tip. I has no idea. So it’s better to ghost more to assemble diamonds and heads and use hero’s to kill? Do I have that right? Two months in the game, still learning. Thanks for the video’s. Discovered them by accident. Enjoying them.
Hey great video I'm new to this game and I'm loving it so this helped still working on mastering it any other tips I appreciate thanks....guilty I would have kept attacking
Great tips! I see you upload regularly. I'm a free to play E&P player and it would take forever to earn enough gems for a 10 pull, so I usually do 1 or 2 (at the previous Alantis I did 3 pulls with the coins). If I want another hero, I can't wait till 2600 gems to pull. What do you think of leveled up (but not ascended) 2* heroes? I've reached the point where I have enough 3* heroes and my 4* are strong enough to finish season 1. With all the leveled 2*'s on my list, its difficult to level up 10 of the same colour simultaneously.
Minimum # of SAME coloured feeders to max a hero. 3*. 4*. 5* 1* 278 / 932 / 1965 2* 108 / 360 / 759 3* 67 / 222 / 468 1965, 1* feeders to max a 5* hero 67, 3* feeders to max a 3* hero **More if you use off coloured feeders **
I'd be interested in a video with minimal gems beings spent. I've been playing a little more then a year I got a 5 star Vela in a bonus summon, that is the 2nd 5 star I have. So I've had to deal with working up from 3 to 4 etc. This video is great for starting players.
F2p has been the most amazing journey. No luck in summons and so forth for the first months. I learned to kick the ass of so much better heroes with my 2*s. Then up my game when I finally got my luck in the game I knew most of the tricks to take down those heroes and which were the worst to meet and so on. Im still far from done, But in my soon 1 year played Ive managed all the needed boulding to 20 and the hunters logde done. Made a few lucky 5*s from Investing all the saved up hero tokkens, and using all the w/e flasks during the more important events like Atlantis and Challange events. Today im a 56 lvl player with 9 event 5* heroes, 30+ maxed 4*s and over 40 3*s. Kickin ass and getting in the top 1k in every monthly event and makin sure Im in an active clan and Does my part. So even if you are a hardcore Cardswiper or want to play for free, this game works for you.
That's awesome! Way to kick butt! I used to do free to play, but I got sucked into the vip pass, I like having more than 1 building going. This will be good to see for people who say f2p is impossible to get anywhere.
Gwen Troy Thx! Appretiate it! F2p or p2p, we all have the game in common which is the most important thing to remember :)). May the Tile-gods be good to you ;)
Can you please let me know how you get 5 star hero’s past level 50? I notice you have really high level ups even though it says they’ve been maxed out.
I've been playing this game for a month or two and I'm quite addicted. Im only at level 10 in the story mode but I take my time and grind a lot. I can't seem to stop playing although I'm afraid to hit a wall and then feel lost.
There are certainly a lot of walls to be hit. I suggest finding a good alliance with good people to keep it interesting and fun when you experience the lulls in the game
I agree with this video. However a small notion, when lower players use unleveled 3* heroes to cleanup, it's sometimes better to not ghost tiles because their specials can't deal enough damage to the enemy heroes. That's probably where the mistake comes from
msb1123 - you can only ascend a costumed hero if the underlying hero is ascended (meaning, ascend the uncostumed hero first, then level up and ascend the costumed version).
Hi there I’m new at this game I’ve been watching your vids I really like them . How long have you been playing ? And can I be a really good player without spending a tone of money on it ? Please reply
This expenditure of REAL MONEY is the main part that all these giants of the game FAIL to leave out. Also, the massive amount of time invested in an account like this🤷♂️🤷♂️
Hi Nittanny. Great content, as usuall :) I have a question, which building convert to Alcheby Lab? Forge? (2 left) or maybe Farm (11 for now)? Which building do you convert to it?
The answer for which building to convert is always Forge. Always. Never farm, that's a terrible idea as food is so scarce once you start leveling 5* heroes and 4* troops.
If you feed a hero to another hero and both are somewhat leveled, Does the hero that was fed get the experience from the hero that it had already been upgraded?
I would also add: using diamonds to do elementary summons from the normal portal, instead of running tc20. Save diamonds for anything you *cannot* get from tc20. Another tip not everyone realises quickly is to use tc11 to store feeder heroes and tc20 to store food (and now you can use hero Academy to store iron, in troop training).
Great vid on silly mistakes, but how about a vid on setting up from scratch. Like what things do, what to buy, how to use items. In other words, a vid for newbies???
I cant tell you how many 5* Ive fed to themselves. Even just lastnight...my reason is saving space and thinking I will not need a 2nd one or pointless redoing a whole other dupe..hmm maybe Ill change my ways. Right now I have so so many 5* to level im losing my mind. Its too many to focus on all at once. Im using different strats now and realize how easy it is to run low on food. I need to continue building up my farms theyre a bit neglected. Mines are up to date all food and iron storages are maxed just gotta do the farms. Great advice tho. Will make some changes.
I have tons of purple training heroes but no purples to use them on at the moment. Should I use them on other 5 stars that I'm trying to max out quickly?
