Goodwills & Goodhearts is all faction 500 possible without 27 tier7 this time? ---

8 x Tier 7 Did 220 faction to test faction team using a daily sigil no potions. Left it then until at 500. Just failed going the short route. Next tried long way round (4 gnomes took a while) and won with 3 troops left. Think I only had 3 troops for final 3 matches. 2 Dark Knights / 1 Leanan ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/4/a/4aeaa0cc403fbcc4c4cb71c3ef7bf50f6787bc45.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/d/4/d45cbff4dd0365194686c4cf5074d8a0bc5e7310.jpeg) ---

I Did it with 100 hoard 50 percent kingdom bonus and 8 tier 7s just due to rushing it today. I mirrored the team for the final room. Honestly this faction can probably be done 3 to 5 tier 7s maybe less ---

I also mirrored the boss room, didnt seem tough. Cast Kelpie for possible devour, cast knight to keep him alive, cast leanan to deal damage to all, cast slaught to feed Leanan. After using so many power potions, it seemed easy. ---

My Slaugh troop routinely does not drain any mana from a targeted enemy, even when they have no traits to prevent it and aren’t blessed. It just does nothing. ---

Your soul is not 60M yet. You need more exta troops to disenchant. 😜 ---
