For Frostfire Keep Pure Faction,
I ran with 2x Frostfire Wraith / 2x King off of 5 Tier7 purchases. I also have Stormheim at level 14, so get the 50% bonus on the level 100 hoard. I also had completed Pure at level 300, so I had the Pet at Legendary. Things got pretty sketchy in the final battle. Running into the spawning spider team in the 2nd room, caused the full run to take a bit longer. A win is a win, and I’ll gladly take my 2500 renown and move on. Glad I snuck through on my 1st attempt.
Beat it 2nd try with 4 Tier 7 potions, with Frostfire Wraith, Frostfire Troll, The Frostfire King, The Frostfire King (Saurus Banner)
Between level 14 kingdom for 50%, hoard 199, medaled troops, 2 Nysha medals, maxed elemental and stormheim pets, I was super overstated but ended with like 18 hp on one TFK at the end.
The first 3 rooms aren’t too bad.
The 3rd room I played keepaway with mana, but focused on blue over red. Bit of a mistake as their Frostfire King hurts. I was told their Wraith was the big boogyman, but it wasn’t as much of a problem imo. (I tried my best to make sure their Wraith’s first cast hit my Wraith’s barrier though. helps a lot)
Halfway into my game, I grabbed a skull match to keep my wraith out of one hit cast, only to watch them grab a match that cascaded into a skull match anyways into another cascade that let them then cast Wraith. felt good /sarcasm. TFK proceeded to knock out my other two troops.
When it comes to using the Troll, I never actually used it in the last room unless they casted their Troll first and casted mine only if I felt comfortable in getting my turn back and/or needed to remove multiple opportunities to get Red gem matches. It was easier to play keepaway on Red and Blue (and occasionally Yellow) if possible.
Its one of those get lucky delves where there isn’t much to say. Be careful of letting too many red gems go by.
First 2 rooms have been easy so far, no deaths. My first run I got the worm room for the 3rd room. Their 2 worms kept looping and killed my Kings from the back. Thanks RNG.
My 2nd run I made it to the boss room with my full team. Their Wraith and skull cascades took out mine, and it went downhill from there.
I’m going to look at maximizing stats before I start my next run. I’m at 4x VII, hoard 100 and some lower level pets.
Yeah, I ended up doing that. Level 14 Stormheim, upgraded hoard to 155 and beat 500 with normal team for level 15 Dr. Sno.
I won my next run. My 2nd room went smoothly. Choose the Dragon room for the 3rd and ended up
needing to kill 9 troops…
Didn’t loose a troop though. The last room couldn’t have gone better (thanks RNG).
Cleared pure faction 500 with Wraith, Troll, King, King using Faction banner. Purchased tier 7 six times. Hoard at 155. Pet at ultra rare. No faction bonus from Stormheim. No Nysha medals used.
Took about 5 attempts, but now it’s over.
This appears to be another delve that will be nearly impossible to clear without potions. GG devs.
Any tips for All-Faction Dark Pits Level 500? I do not stand a chance at all with Hoardlevel 150, Kingdom level 14 for 50 % stats bonuses. Two of the troops is exploding/destroying gems on the boards and so often set up skulls matches for the CPU that they become useless to use.
I could of course pump my Hoardlevel 200+, but I am afraid it gonna be wasted to do so. Because the stats gain is not that massive compared to now, and it’s impossible at the moment, so I fear at even at Hoardlevel 200 it would be impossible as well. Let me know what you think.
I just want to say this Devs if you are reading. It’s very disheartening that you create Factions with crappy troops, and you were not even able to test run the all faction team and complete level 500 yourself - with a fairly reasonable hoardlevel. This is what happens when you just invent something without testing, you frustrate your players to the core. You had all the time in the world to make sure that the 4 troops that comes with the factions actually is useful, instead you just create something without even thinking, and then call it a day. We close to never see troop reworks anymore either.
I’m going to refer yet again to my previous statements on the subject: they’re not meant to be done, don’t bother, its a bad/stupid design, wait until some content comes out that makes it palatable to try.
The AI decides that I suck ass now though. So others may have better luck with Dark Pits than I. In fact at least one did. (Scroll up forever to find that post)
I’ve now lost 10 times today against the boss room during the Frost Keeper Assault.
It turns out, the change in Wraith makes the delve 20 times more difficult. Weird.
Sad to see this confirmed my suspicions when I first saw the complete FrostFire faction information. It has a similar style to the Dark Pits faction (the worst faction team IMO) except with a better defense. Now I am worried I won’t be able to finish this with the sigils I have left when I attempt a 500 faction run later.
Beat level 500 first try, used 2x tank, 2x legendary, +2 blue, +1 red.
Only time I casted the second tank was to eliminate the AI tank in the final room, by hitting it with both my first troops as soon as I has them ready.
3x Cedric medals
Someone (N1CK.50) has done it without potions with hoard lvl 250, kingdom lvl 14 and his team was (Plague Rat - Rattigar - Hex Rat - Sledgepaw) and Rat Banner. He didnt show his medals, but my guess is 1x Cedric and 2x Nysha. Hoard Quality increased from 50% to 300% - #47 by TheIdleOne Post number 47 aprox.
Good Luck =)
BTW it totally sucks. I maxed the Mist of Scales to Kingdom level 15 for one reasons - to get the 50 % bonus stats for the Dark Pits all faction team. I also pumped up my treasure hoard here to 150. Just to see if I stood a chance.
I was willing to take the treasure hoards up to 200. But since I was slaughtered with the 150 Hoard level I understood that Hoardlevel 200 would neither be enough.
Then @awryan says that he is not able to do much and hes at Hoard level 270 or so.
And I kinda moved on, and pretend this faction doesn’t exist.
@CrzBoarder which factions would you say would be impossible to max with an all faction team level 500 without a crazy hoardlevel as well as outside an Faction Assault Event? Lets say the Crazy Hoardlevel is at level 250 in this case - that is a lot of treasures put into one faction IMO.
