Are there particular kingdoms you avoid Exploring in because of troops and mechanics there? I follow the 20% Bonus around the map and do difficulty 12, but there are some zones that I avoid going to, like Sin of Maraj, because of the devour troops there… yuck. ---

I think the only Kingdom I avoid is Pan’s Vale. I hate when Trickster rearranges my troops 😠. ---

I try to avoid Shentang as well, due to the swift Monkey over there, so often delays my matches. ---

Shentang also has Moon Rabbit and Yao. Dhrak’Zum is particularly dangerous with all the skull generators and Wild Plains has lots of health scaling. ---

I never really avoided any kingdom but I didn’t like it when I was exploring kingdoms with a lot of entanglers like Forest of Thorns or kingdoms with high # of troops with skull reduction. That was because my previous explore team heavily relied on skulls. I use a different team now that works pretty much anywhere. Submerge does affect it a bit but not a deal breaker. ---

I don’t avoid any of them, but Sin of Maraj, Dhrak’Zum and Zaijen make me nervous. ---

Sin maraj … isn’t bad, only 1 or 2 immune troops. I have zaejin as bonus kingdom for weeks. ---

After my experience today, I’m going to skip zaijen. It sucks when a loop in the mythic costs you the rewards for a whole run. I like the game less than I did before the explore and 4.7 updates. ---

I tend to avoid kingdoms with resummon on death traits and spell armor. Edit: not because I find those things difficult, but because the matches just take longer. ---

Are there any kingdoms I avoid exploring? Nope, none. With the right team you can kick buts in every kingdom
