Someone mentioned earier that he outshines Professional Killer. I have PK from early on, got Rifleman a while back but never focused on him because PK was already 3* etc. Curious if I should put some effort in to him.
He does, but only after you level his skills and use him in a certain way.

His ult sucks, unless you just have extra money/points don't even bother leveling it. At purple he gets an innate armor penetration. He has his own self haste which is nuts. It makes him fire 3 attacks in a row(near instantly) for 3 "rounds" of his attacks. So basically take the "gap" between his attacks, that stays the same as it would on any hero, but when he does attack it's 3 instead of 1. I try to couple him with a tank that can lower armor. Once that skill activates he can easily 1-2 round any but the strongest of tank heroes. Burns casters instantly.

I'm certainly no pro at this game but I am learning it's all about either a counter or just certain heroes. The reason some heroes suck ass is the way the core mechanics work, until fixed I'm not sure the "crappy" heroes will ever get better. For instance any back lane AGI without haste just attacks too slow, and without armor pen doesn't do enough dmg. Add in that getting hit stops(and possibly refreshes?) the attack animation anything with slow attacks gets raped without fighting back. This is why profes sucks in my opinion.

Goto a fight you know you can win and just pick a tank/healer and then him and watch. He spends half his time "casting" and not actually doing damage. This works for casters because their "cast" does dmg. His doesn't so it's a complete loss of a round. It's also why casters or heroes that hit multiple targets are so powerful, it interrupts the opponent.

I may be wrong on some of the facts above but I think they should remove dmg as an interrupt unless its a component of the ability itself.

PS. I got crazy lucky today, 2 new heroes on my crusade run! Neither super great but still cool.

PK has a haste as well. And self heal/damage buff ult. Hmm

I had the opposite Crusade. Got like 9 white reel things. Though I did get a pipe reel which was useful.

He does but it's not enough haste. You can easily see this by watching the two heroes side by side. The second problem is that PK has "skills"(haste) that he activates. THis basically consumes a turn, which is part of the core problem. Every turn that is used without dmg or a team buff ends up making you weaker due to the way interrupting mechanics and crap work.

He's good in the early game, but past 52 (purple level) he is outclassed. I have him at 48 I think and haven't bothered with him since.

Yeah and as stated heisinterrupted constantly.

Mostly I just don't want to spend resources on another low level guy while still vainly praying for a gold monkey or demon guy.

Succubus is nice, her special attack is really good, her dot attack hits like a truck (plus the dot), and her short rang AE isn't bad

Unfortunately her purple skill is retarded

I buy the daily 120 gems package (f2p other than that) and it expires today. Should I renew today or tomorrow for the bonus? I forget what the 20 bonus soulstones are for each day and I wouldn't have any idea which is better even if I remembered.

I think you need to spend 4.99 for the bonus soulstone event. The monthly package is only 2.99.

I just recently started playing this... level 38 right now. I have a few other heroes now and I was wondering if someone can give me some advice on which heroes to focus on. Here are my heroes.

My current team for campaign and arena:
Savage 3* Blue+1
Frost 2* Blue +1
Phoenix 1* Blue + 1
Chaplin 1* Blue + 1
Rifleman 1* Blue + 1

Other heroes that I sometimes use for crusade
Savage One 2* Blue + 2
Commando 1* Blue + 1

Other heroes I have:
Lightning Master 1* Blue
Admiral 1* Blue
Emberstar 1* Blue
Sniper (just got it)

Personally I would level....
SavageOne or Admiral as tank
Keep Chaplin up for Crusades
Phoenix can be handy but has a few hard counters
I love rifleman, does insane physical dmg if you can provide a tank wall for him.
Frost
Emberstar(underrated, very good hero once you level and skill up)

As a swap in if you don't use phoenix or chap:
prolly lightning master from what you listed until you get something better. some people may say sniper but I dislike him. He attacks very slowly and his energy gauge fills slow, even at 3* purple where I have him


Edit:
I should add the key to winning in this game is heroes that have AE/Disable/Attack all skills. Interrupts interrupts interrupts! Watch any fight you win or lose....or if you don't care pick 2-3 heroes and lose in the arena on purpose to watch the fight mechanics. Not all attacks interrupt, I can't quite explain it, but most do. Watch your guy be ready to attack, get hit and it's almost like the timer resets. And I'm not just talking about hit by a stun or ice block, I mean literally just hit.
Watch a hero like phoenix or death mage when they ult, the other team can't even get a single hit in beside and ult skill. It just keep "mini stunning" them or whatever.

Personally I believe that it ruins the game and creates a very uninteresting meta. Only certain attacks should "stun" or reset the enemy attack timer. This would instantly add a huge dynamic to the game and make "useless" heroes far more viable.

I can get around halfway through HM crusade before I have to downgrade mainly due to my tank almost dieing. I had been relying on iron hoof+ chaplain outlasting the damage in normal, but with chaplain only being able to heal every other encounter at best I can't make it through. Next purchase is going to be death Mage so hopefully I can get through HM. Would solve most of my gold issues

Deathmage is infinitely better than iron hoof in Norm Crusade paired with chaplain.

Got my frostmage 4star today, proceeded to move up 100 ranks in Arena as a result. Her ult multi hits for 5k. Straight nasty.

running Warchief Iron hoof (3star purple +1) OC - Phoenix (3star purple +1) and 4star Frostmage Purp+1 in arena

Double tank really lets OC phoenix setup nicely.

What VIP level are you guys? Sitting at VIP 5 and contemplating going up to 6 and stopping.

I'm at VIP 6 - any higher doesn't really benefit you at all because buying stamina jumps up to 200 gems at that point.

I'm only VIP 2 or 3, I forget. Whatever you get for buying the 2.99$ month pack. Right now the daily gem package I get + arena gems basically balance with the amount of times I can spend gems to get stamina. I could see it being a major problem if you continue to increase VIP level.

PS. After buying that monthly package I can see how VIP level/real money matters how. If you buy gold chests you get some pretty solid soul stones and heroes. Also VIP 11 gets a special market where they can get heroes 2-3 months before other people.
