Hi to all. This topic is about using the faction’s own team in delving. I started this game in may. Every day I complete 3 delving, I never missed one. Here is some statistics of my delving using only the faction’s own troops. The horde is between 70 and 100. You can reach these levels quite naturally without making any special efforts. Amanithrax lvl 200 Hall of guardians lvl 190 Silver necropolis lvl 190 Tinker town lvl 190 Depths of sin lvl 170 Illithia lvl 160 Wild court lvl 150 All seeing eye lvl 140 Fang moor lvl 140 Frostfire keep lvl 140 Primal rift lvl 140 The warrens lvl 130 Crypt keepers lvl 120 Sunken fleet lvl 120 Eldrazhor lvl 110 The deep hive lvl 100 Fell roost lvl 90 City of theives lvl 80 Werewoods lvl 80 Dark pits lvl 50 Lyrasza liar lvl 50 Mirrored halls lvl 50 Stonesong Eiry lvl 50 Sea of sorrow lvl 50 I’d already completed lvl 500 in Sea of sorrow and Dark pits with an other team and made some progression in Stonesong eiry when I realized I sould have made some progression with the faction’s own team. That’s why I’ve reached lvl 50 but a future faction assault will help me out. I played with the faction’s own team until I saw there’s no hope to go to higher levels. Usually I observed after 3-4 fails that there’s no way to continue even if I used different team setups. And in many cases a higher horde can’t help. The worst own team is in Mirrored halls and Lyrasza liar. The dealt damage is low with these troops, you can wait for skulls coming but you can’t win battles only with skulling with these trops on higher levels. I was awainting much higher levels from these teams: Amanithrax, All seeing eye, Wild court, Sunken fleet, The deep hive. These team looked quite effective in dealing damage. But the basic problem is that you face with these troops in the boss room. :)) In many cases I failed in the boss rooms. King gobtuffle is not so good without any gems destroyer troop even if you use 2 or 3 King gobtuffle. If the horde would be higher (around lvl 200) maybe I can make some more progression. It’ll be a future task for me. ---

I was wondering how everyone is approaching this game mode and what is the best way to play the new game mode? Here are my stats so far. I think I’m just going to increase difficulty at the hall of guardians until I lose a delve. No losses yet. Please feel free to share and comment below. Thank you for the help! Much appreciated! +1 And remember to always have fun stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes ---

Welcome to the community, @erada. I made a thread to assist with Delve team strategies. Scattered amongst the rants and ramblings of an addled brain are some links to other threads. Click Here: [Delve Faction Team Strategies](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/delve-faction-team-strategies/60859) Want a link to @Elitemastereric’s thread? It’s in there. Want a link to @timeknight’s spreadsheat breakdown for recommended Hoard levels, or his spreadsheet for optimal treasure utilization for raising hoard levels? It’s in there. Want @Texudo’s compilation of Faction Team runs with post numbers and lots of other good info? You guessed it, it’s in there. As are additional links to strategies proposed by @Xolid99, @Dust_Angel, @TheIdleOne, @Magnusimus, and many others. (Apologies if I miss any call-outs) ---

I managed to complete lvl 500 delving in The deep hive with own team. This was the 4th, 5th try. The team: 2 x Scarab knight, 2 x Queen Beeetrix. ![Screenshot_2020-10-09-19-54-04](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/7/c/7cb990ca68bb8fe0de6e7fb2df689e29b8823c70.png) ---

Congratulations! For me, personally, this was the easiest pure delve. Now - what’s your next step, I wonder?
