Stone-Biter will be available in the Invasion Shop, and will appear in Glory, Gem, Guild, and VIP chests in 3-4 weeks’ time.
New Epic Troop: Lava Troll
Lava Troll will be available this week for 400 Glory in the shop as well as in Event Chests, and will appear in Glory, Gem, and Guild chests in 3-4 weeks’ time.
New Weapon: Sheggra’s Spine
This week it will be available in both the Invasion shop, and in the Soulforge.
Red/Yellow mana looping, with Hyndla Frostcrown to boost the team’s magic as you create matches. Fire Giant is great if you can get the triple damage to proc (easy with Jarl’s burn!) and Dawnbringer is amazing even before you boost its Magic!
Other good Giants you can use include Flame, Forest, Desert, Dark, Sea, and Rock Trolls (the mono-color doublers), the Ice and Lava Trolls (the dual-color doublers, the latter being new, and both being subject to a recent buff), and the 50% Devour chance Giants (just in case the troop types align early on). There’s also Jotnar Stormshield, the Mythic Giant that provides barrier and boosts based on allied Giants.
Once battles get tougher, I usually like to swap in the Invasion troop and/or a scaling hero weapon like Earth’s Fury, Trickster’s Shot, or Yasmine’s Pride.
