Tips for Free-to-Play (F2P) Players
- Patience is Key: You won't be able to compete with players who spend a lot of money, and that's okay. The F2P strategy is about delayed gratification and maximizing your resources over time.
- Save Diamonds for Events: Save your diamonds specifically for the Dice and Wheel events to get Mythic heroes and other rare items. Avoid spending them on small daily and weekly store items.
- Don't Overextend: Focus all of your resources on one primary hero queue. Don't waste valuable gear, shards, or experience on secondary queues. Use "hand-me-down" gear for your other teams and let them catch up naturally.
- Prioritize Construction: Your Castle is the most important building. Its level determines the max level of other buildings like the Hospital, Research Cottage, Guild, and Training Ground. Always keep a builder working on these key structures.
- Prioritize Your Faction's Statues: When building, focus on the statues for your main faction's barracks to boost your troop power. Images in the game show a clear prioritization of upgrading the Horde, League, and Nature Statues.
- Save Universal Legendary Shards: Universal Legendary Hero Shards are precious. Do not use them on Legendary heroes. Instead, save them to upgrade your Mythic heroes, who are much stronger in the long run.
- Use Free Resources Wisely: The game gives you a ton of free items. Prioritize spending your diamonds on useful things like the second construction queue (if available) or event-specific gold chests. Skip the fancy cosmetics or unnecessary items.
- Take Part in All Guild Activities: An active guild is your best friend. Participate in rallies, guild bosses, and other guild events to earn a consistent stream of rewards.
- Spending Real Money: If you are going to spend money these will be worthwhile investments: Pyro Hero Unlock $1.99, Permanent Privilege $9.99 (store), Monthly Pass (14.99/month), Contruction Queues $1.99 and Research Queues $9.99 these will make your leveling experieince much more enjopayable. Additionally, once you get to a higher level and castle these packs are decent one time purchases in the store: Adventure Fund, Contruction Fund, Power Fund and growth fund but are not required by any means. These packs range from $9.99 to $19.99 and are one time purchases.
