> [@Mana\_Surgeon](#): > > Tartarus Yeah, I half-wondered if something like Mang (Titan, probs? Duststorm + LS + Barrier), KoS, Pharos, Tartarus could work or be worth the effort. Maybe even Tartarus in 2nd. ---

Does Tartarus trigger on any skull match, or does it (like Wrath) need to be in the first slot? If the former, Doomed ??? + Gobtruffle + Glaycion + Tartarus offers lots of ways to make skulls. Fast start and/or storm generation is preferred for the hero class, but may not be necessary. ---

This is working pretty well for me, and I don’t even have LS or Barrier on Titan yet. Unsure whether my team or this one is better - I think once I level Titan this will prove to be better. Can anyone confirm? ---

I tried it out, didn’t find it too great, tbh 😝. Maybe with practice. I actually found Tartarus to be the least useful, despite the passive Soul gain. Casting Pharos twice is all that’s ever needed to max out the Soul counter, and since he fills himself, I don’t think it’s that hard, depending on Storms and board explosions. I played around with a couple of other combos, incl. Mang + Sacrificial Priest, and EoE + 2x Pharos, but didn’t settle on anything really nice. No time now, though, so maybe another day 😛. I really wish perma-Storms could be temporarily equipped somehow 😝. Also found it annoying having to clean up 4-matches on the board before passing the turn, so Freeze could be nice (e.g. Mang, Pharos, Zuul). ---

Player with Zuul on a massive soul deficit in terms of needing them to use medals. Will appreciate help in all forms 🙂 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/2/0/20b8fc3b5053776d73aad07fe3719d93ed318f87.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/b/a/ba2db2a8e8037ad0bd40129c77d43149e083792a.jpeg) ---

Does the OP’s team with Zuul instead of Death work well? If not, I’d suggest what others did at first: split your time—do some low-level explore ofr fast souls, and only go to Level 12 when you want better medals. ---

OP’s team is stable (subbed Zuul for death). but even at max souls, Pharos isn’t doing enough damage to make this team replace any of my other E12 teams. Will stick to hiding necromancer in last slot with a mana generator weapon for now & running E1 if I finally wake up one day motivated enough to strictly soul farm. ---

> [@Magnusimus](#): > > If not, I’d suggest what others did at first: split your time—do some low-level explore ofr fast souls, and only go to Level 12 when you want better medals. Unless these soul farming teams at Explore 12 are doing some amazing speeds, its not really worth it. A half-decent Explore 12 team can do a battle in 20-30 seconds and generate souls. The team I’m using now is around 12-20 seconds on a good run. I can win an Explore 1 with soul farming in 10-15 seconds for a full value 150% soul gain. Its not super ideal for lower level players though, needs magic. I tried a few soul farming attempts early, but Pharos-Ra just doesn’t hit hard enough to be worth the time investment. ---

Fair. I’m saving up for DB at the moment, so maybe I’ll switch to going between high and low level Explores as suggested. ---

Sentinel works great to keep the team alive. I use Nysha and 2x Orpheus. Rip through the team with Mang and KoS, then proc Ra twice to hit soul cap.

I have used so many teams that the list doesn’t fit in all my team slots. Without knowing your stats/troops I would recommend Mountain Crusher, Beetrix, Beetrix, Leprechaun. (Use a class that entangles so you don’t waste time picking up skulls). 3x nysha if possible. ---

Fastest team I know of is flammifer/zuul/lep/Scylla. Slayer class, 1 anu 2 seasons. Glass cannon team so you really need to pay attention to how skulls falls and create or it will feel like falling face first in quicksand. ---

> [@MattDB87](#): > > I’m end game. I have everything, but medals. Just looking for the fastest team. I’m using: earth fury (titan/stormcaller) mercy hki tpk cast earthfury one, and there’s just num num num from HKI, if anything is impervious/fortitude/indegistable → either bash it with earth fury, or transform it with TPK. worst kingdom for this setup → khaziel, other than that → drak’zum (cos of dwarves showing up quite often), other than that, after 1st earth fury, you basicaly loop enemies to death, with a lot of HKI eating stuff… but, that’s not a soul farming team [Previous page](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/efficient-explore-12-soul-farming-teams/65139.md?page=1)
