These two kingdoms do not have better odds than any of the others, however, depending on your attack team, you may find that you can complete more battles per hour at these two kingdoms, which does increase your overall chances compared to battling at other kingdoms.
I think there may be quicker teams than your St Astra, Tesla, Tesla, Lep team, depending on the troops you have access to. However, I suggest you run a test for 60 mins ensuring to log how many tokens you get awarded (excluding the 2x and 5x bonus tokens from any Mimic and HM battles). If you are below 45, then there are faster options.
Your strategy isn’t bad, but if you really want to hunt for Hoard Mimic, there are much better strategies. I assume you have Stella or Chrys, so you can build much faster one-shot teams. And then play only E9 or E10 in Wild plains, and you’ll double your chances. Of course, it has the disadvantage that you’ll have inferior tokens, but every advantage has its disadvantage, of course.
Thanks for the info. Rest assured, I know what I’m doing. I have had some of the best players, on PC, as mentors and guild mates. I have a great team for E12 and can get through them very, very fast.
Not getting Hoard Mimic is a pure RNG nightmare. Sentinels are as well. Maybe the math supports getting HM more easily, but RNG has shown that is not the case. For me anyway.
I had all troops at one point. Until HM. Now I’m only missing HM, one sentinel, and PvP mythics. I gave up on completion and that is one more reason the game has lost some of its shine for me lately.
Edit:
Not sure you mean by tokens.
My kingdoms are all nearly maxed. Just need some books to finish a few of them off.
I know it’s hard to fathom, but RNG. It’s RNG. Maybe most people can brute force to get HM, it didn’t work for me. On 2 accounts.
I’d not seen anyone else mention this in this thread but as someone who has multiple hoard mimics and does a lot of E12 grinding to get tokens I thought I’d share my strategy.
Have as many kingdoms to level 16 for the 10% bonus mythstones and then always pick a kingdom on the map that has the orange lantern for the 20% mythstone bonus. This maximises the number of boss battles you can encounter.
I can’t remember if the bonus mythstone is additive so you get 30% bonus or not.
I also have Chrys, so use a team of Chrys, 2x Pharaoh Khafru, Essencia and can complete battles in 2 turns.
Similar to my strategy! I always go for the orange lanterns as well! I however, do not have Chrys yet. I have all the dragons, but need all three weapons and enough dragonite for Chrys herself.
Before the gems dragons, I would run a team of Flammifier, Zuul, Fist Of Zorn, Lep with Slayer class fully levelled for triple skull damage on burning enemies. It would complete battles in about 15 seconds.
I have a video where I managed to cast Zuul and it killed the entire enemy team with one go with skull cascades.
I still use it occasionly for kingdoms that can have troops with submerge (Merlantis) or you could run a team with a hero and Mechanist class to dispel the submerge.
I remeber the first weeks after Hoard Mimic was released - people got it like apples falling from trees. Then something changed, and I think something changed even again to make it harder to get.
I did not play much explore when it first came to the game, I was one of those that got Hoard Mimic later on, but only saw it once.
I haven’t noticed any difference. I seem to be getting a Hoard Mimic like every other month, give or take a bit. I guess the main trick is to convince yourself you are farming E12 for high rarity medals, then the drop rate for Hoard Mimic suddenly goes up a lot.
