I play for a month and I would like your advice to build a farm team. I am looking for a compromise between speed (for traitstone) and soulfarm (to have some use of my mythics…).
Below the list of my mythics and legendary troops:
Mythics
Pharos-Ra x2 (Yeah, I know…) Shortly full traited
Legendary
I don’t have TDS
Abhorrat
Artema
Bone dragon
Crimson bat
Dracos 1337
Hyndla frostcrown
Imp of love
Jarl Firemantle
Keeper of souls
Kings Mikhail and Silenus
Kraken
Kruarg the dread
Queens grapplepot, Mab and Ysabelle
Sheggra (full traited)
Tesla
I have Elspeth full traited. I made some try with her, zombies, but I dont find a substitute for TDS. I also wonder what’s the best difficulty to farm souls/arcanic stone
Just pollute the board with purple. Troll death marks on skulls and generates souls. Spider has Magic Link to speed charging of Pharoseses. No color overlap between the two and neither blocks the purple for your big hitters.
Firebomb or Soothsayer are probably better accelerators for this setup than Elspeth. For these, take available mana matches then fire your empowered generator to get yourself out of a bad board/top off TDS and start your chain. Elspeth will spawn brown or blue 2/3 of the time, leaving you in a bad spot to even fill your TDS on the resulting board OR alignment to cast Pharos to fill up TDS.

Aziris (or troop of the week)
Abyssal Banner
Just play on normal difficulty and TDS will often wipe out the team in 2 casts. You will have all the souls you need WAY before having all the traitstones you need. So focus on doing as many battles per hour as possible rather than getting the most souls per battle.
If you want to do all the challenges though, do them on Warlord IV. You can only get the souls bonus once on these and the bonus is based on difficulty.
So I tested severals variants (Elspeth, firebomb, soothsayer and event troop/aziris).
The one with firebomb is the most reliable team, I think it’s the best compromise speed/souls for me.
The one with just the event troop works pretty well, bus sometimes has more “long” run. For the current event it was worthy.
