Simple question I suppose. I personally haven’t actually upgraded any troops with medals yet … none at all … so I am somewhat curious. I don’t have a huge amount of them, either.
Interested to see who likes what here. And this is for all levels of medals and all levels of players, so if someone has a ‘good idea for lower-level players’ suggestion then fire away.
I’m also going to ASSUME that anything other than upgrading with an exact 100% chance of success is a Bad Idea and we don’t do that, but correct me if I’m wrong. If someone’s leveled a Mythic with Gaard Medals then I will be impressed (and horrified).
Personal choices at the moment are going to be things liiiiike:
Empowered generators of course.
Also non-empowered generators, since those make up the bulk of the lower-rarity troops that actually see any play.
(Personal) Choice legendaries that see a lot of play. For me that’s stuff like Wrath. Maybe KoS.
Stuff on my defense team/s.
Dream ideas like heavy-damage mythics are just way beyond my resources. But it could happen. Eventually. For the record, at present I have zero medals of Nysha and one medal of Anu, so mythics are strictly off-limits for me personally.
I’ve upgraded the three Bounty troops that see heavy use: Tigraki Warrior, Corpse Mare, and Excavator. That means my weekends are a little bit easier. I recommend it.
I also upgraded all of my gnomes, in a fit of pique. I do not recommend this.
I’m basically going this route. For “lower rarity” I’m not explicitly looking for troops that generate mana. I’m just medalling anything I use for any reason—because who doesn’t think it’s fun to use Savage Hunter’s triple damage every now and then?
I have not done any non-100% upgrades and am almost halfway to Geoff. I’m thinking, if I have an abundance of souls at some future point, I might use Gaard medals on a lark—but I’m a looooong way away from having enough “extra” souls or medals laying around—would have to have all commons done, and all rares to bronze, at least!
They might be buffed to +6 someday. I’m saving 3, just in case. Not that 3 more couldn’t be ground out eventually, of course. Just don’t want to be caught with my drawers down
I tend to upgrade to elite the common and rare troops that I use often or could potentially use of if they are often summoned by the hero or other troops. Medals aren’t easy to come by right now (might have been different if I was in a guild who can complete the elite tasks).
At the moment, I have all 6 of the new guardians upgraded, Tigraki Warrior (bounty), Dragon Egg, Baby Dragon, and Thrall. Working on Bandit and Greed.
Even at +6, I’d still use the medal of summer. It’d basically have to be +8 to consider useful. I am 1 token away from a new one - it’s pretty quick to get them.
I finally got my 6th Nysha today. Was hoping to do a mythic, but I think I need 3 more for a 100% chance (and to keep 3)
My advice would be to first upgrade the troops you use the most. As to what medals to use I would say don’t use 6 medals to upgrade commons and rares. Personally I used only 3 medals by using the next highest rarity medal for the 2nd and 3rd upgrades. Sometimes I would even use an UR medal for the 3rd upgrade of a common troop if I had no rares at the time.
