When is the best time to go for 20 k on journey? Assuming there is a certain kingdom that would be easiest? ---

If we ever get a Goblin journey event, that’s probably the time to do it. Next week’s journey is Blue/Fey, which I’d probably give a miss. But if one believes the spoilers, the next journey after that (5+ weeks away) is Green/Wildfolk, so that might be somewhat tolerable if you use a Beetrix team. ---

I did it in week of red fey, queen titania’s extra turn helps a lot. If next week is blue fey, queen mab offers has a similar spell, another good chance. ---

Isn’t Mistralus a blue fey? Guaranteed extra turn. Pairing her with the wand of stars could give infinite loops. ---

When Testla can be used I guess. Probably very easy ---

I did it with yellow centaur, which I’m sure no one would recommend. What helped me immensely was the hero using a weapon that summons goblins. I summoned irongut several times, which helped a bunch. Good luck whenever you decide to go for it 🍀 ---

Red Daemon a few events back was pretty easy due to high lethal chance with Archduke and Consort of Darkness. ---

With the new journey changes, this week seems like a great one to go for it. I’m having a relaxed time early on using Rowanne/Mistmother and there’s enough options to push through the later miles without too much problems. ---

How many Tiers do you expect it to take? ---

Unfortunately, I’d imagine it’d be the same tier as before the change, only way more leeway on point loss and faster battles/less stressful. I didn’t math any of it out, so I’ll leave it to someone else. Tier 7 purchases offer too many extra battles compared to other tiers that even if you end up saving some battles, you’ll probably still be in the same tier amount purchased. But I also don’t push the Journey leaderboard so I’m not the right person to ask and could be incredibly wrong. Someone has 129 Battles/20,388 miles on the leaderboard… so around there. Tier 4 currently is 42 Battles/6,750 miles on day 1 (0 point loss). Assuming the proper max Journey troop etc. ---

With 1 tier 7 I’m under 18k points out of sigils first day. Clearly easier to get the achievement than before. ---

19590 with 1 tier 7 after Day 2 perfect run I think. So Tier 6 would get you horribly close in 7 days. Even with an extra raven prob be a touch short. Anyway, pretty easy and not too time consuming to get the achievement this journey if it’s a target.
