Whoah! So much great information here. This community rocks! It’s like my eyes have been opened. I finally beat that last quest on Whitehelm. I do find Leviathan to be a struggle early on. Without the resources to build him up quickly, he seems a bit less powerful than I think he should be. I’m now using Hero with every team. I didn’t even know I had ingots and could fully upgrade his weapon! He’s a beast now! I also came across Glutmaw in my group of troops. I was looking for a substitute for Leviathan. I took him into a battle, level 1, no traits and he was awesome! I’m sitting on a little over 3k souls at the moment, so I’m going to level him up to about 8 or 9, trait maybe 1st and 2nd, but for sure 1st. I’m doing “Thorns” now. I’ll try these other teams out as well. I did used some gems and got the Viking armor as I didn’t have 500 for the better armor…one day. I am seeing gold and souls increase a lot faster. Thanks again everyone.

Hello everyone…an update. I’m doing a whole lot better. I just cleaned up Stormheim and I’m moving on to Pan’s Vale then Khaziel. I’ve started running a team that’s been doinf really well for me I think. Dwarven Gate, Clockwork Sphinx, Ranger and +5 Axe of Chaos. I’ve also collected quite a few new troops. I’m saving up my Glory at a little over 3k right now and keeping my souls at roughly 4k. Hoping to see a Stoic Arcane Traitstone soon. I’m going through the forums reading and finding out who I have that would be end game viable so as to not spend resources on the wrong ones. Thanks again everyone for all your help.
