One advice for all new players:
USE Weapons in your teams, that way:
- your hero is present in battle and you gain his traits/talents
- you gain exp for class exp, and unlock more talents
As for hero classes, all Stone classes(Titan, Monk, Runepriest,Sentinel,Plaguelord) have that brilliant lvl 40 trait that gives barrier and makes them tanky as hell.
For a newer players i’d highly recommend using Plaguelord, because:
- his traits aren’t impresive and you can completely ignore them and you wont loose much from Plaguelord, if you don’t trait him, other classes are kind of crippled without their traits (Titan without 50% mana start, Monk without his Sky Ancestry and bonus mana from match4/5, Runepriest without his 3rd trait, Sentinel without Holy Armor and his 3rd trait), so Plaguelord potential is basicaly in his talents, you can save up traitstones for your legendaries/mythics
- he has BEST class weapon from all Stone classes(and one of best ingame at all), which is very versatile and can be used in a lot of teams, while other Stone classes weapons are situational (Sentinel → in Tesla/Rowanne teams, Runepriest-> pretty crap weapon overall, modified version of Mountain Crusher, Monk- quite nice one, but not as good as Plaguelord’s, Titan → with full Giant team)
And once you get Essence of Evil (Plaguelord weapon), you can obliterate some realy difficult enemies.
That’s my 1 big hint → go for Plaguelord early… it will give you means to build up stronger teams, it will give you means to do lvl 12 explore and farm Arcane traitstones reliably, even with crap troops…
Once you get a good mythic/legendary you can try building team arround them
of you can just get Shaman with Ragereaver and 3 Tauros Sentinels… (but you need to trait them for this team to work…)
