Selected Delve Teams

Hi everyone!

Introduction
I’ve heard a number of people asking about Delve Teams, and thought I would share what I’ve put together for my own Guild. Most of these teams come from @Tacet’s YouTube channel, which I watch every day. Those not credited to Tacet himself have either appeared in Live Chat during his videos, or I’ve put together myself (esp. for doing lower levels quickly). Of course, no team is perfect, but this is probably a good place to start!

If you’d like to fill in some of the gaps (esp. Banners or Max Level), just let me know. Enjoy!

Technical Note: Not sure how well this will display – might work better pasted into a spreadsheet (where you can also filter by Faction, etc). Do contact me if you know how to improve the formatting.

Thanks for this.

I just used the mouse on my Desktop PC to select the table, then used Special Paste to put it into Excel.

I needed to tweak the formatting slightly and replace the apostrophes, but apart from that it was fine :+1:

This is very nice and I appreciate this. I think this game would be better if teams weren’t so in-general “secret sauce”.

How many attempts did it take Tacet to beat Crypt Keepers full faction?

Will note that I’ve had amazing success with King Irongut, most of my delve teams use him.

Can we get more information on faction teams in general (like the level caps)?

EDIT: MY ENTRY:
Sorrowful Banner (Probably, not 100% certain)
Hammerclaw
Sea Witch
Deep King
Sea Witch
Beat level 100 Sea of Sorrows pure faction with this.

EDIT: You should note what level Tacet actually beat with the All Seeing Eye or Hall of Guardians or Sea of Sorrow teams. Also does he has a Warrens pushing team?

I did tag Tacet. If you see him around, you could ask him to post some extra info here. :slight_smile:

Just found this. Thanks so much!! I always have a hard time coming up with pure teams that work well. :sparkling_heart:

This is great. Thank you!

I thought I would include the most frequent troops used for each slot overall regardless of purpose from the data for fun. :slight_smile:

  • Troop 1: Mtn. Crusher (9)
  • Troop 2: Apothecary (7)
  • Troop 3: Arachnean Weaver (4)
  • Troop 4: Megavore (6)

@Nullings - this thread is only about Delves.
I think you posted in the wrong place.

10

Yep, sorry.

Is there anyway you can repost this so
I can view the whole thing? The page is cut off at the troops to use.

12

You should be able to scroll within the table, but I can agree that it would be nice to be able to see everything at once :slightly_smiling_face:

13

Any suggestions how to achieve that? I’m quite happy to repost in a different format, but I’m not sure what would be best. Eventually, I will add a version to my GoW web page, but it needs a new page and a navigation revamp: http://paulius.50webs.com/gemsofwar.html

I copied the original into a shared google spreadsheet. For now it’s view only, but if anyone would like to be able to edit, just let me know! :slight_smile:

Excellent idea!

I’ll try to do something similar, next time I post teams. Need to figure out how to create filters that work in read-only mode on Google sheets.

16

Are this the best teams?
Im new and have not so many cards

17

I just copied what @Starlite had already compiled in the original post and haven’t tried all of the myself. The ones I have used did allow me to complete delves up to 500. I would say the teams are very useful and if you are missing troops can then this list can help give an idea of what you should focus on as you progress in the game.

Most of these troops used for Delves are also very good outside of Delves, so they are worth going out of your way to acquire, level, and trait them. :slightly_smiling_face:

UPDATE

In order to get all the faction portraits in v4.3, Tacet played all but one Delve (Warrens) on level 500 in a single video!

Some of the teams have changed because of new troops. I strongly recommend watching the video for the current Delve meta: www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzeSpoYnWxI

19

With the release of 4.3.0, Tacet the Terror completed every Delve (at level 500 because he has fully leveled every faction) in order to obtain the new hero portraits. Below are the teams he used, how he performed, and a stream timestamp.

Thank you for this! I updated the Delve Teams spreadsheet with these new teams.

Would be really great to get this table updated. The Dragon’s Eye is probably not as good as it was and may need replaced?

This table is a great help to us switch players as we just got TPK and next month is HKIG.

Any end-gamers up to the tasK?
