Expert’s Guide to E&P Ep. 04 - Troops

[@marnieansar4070]

been waiting for a blue 4* for over a year... someone hear my prayer lol. Thanks as always great tutorial

[@CocoEP]

Very good content, I like the whole series so far. Thanks !

[@Xevo234]

6:44 fast heros goes from 8 to 7 at 29 lvl mana troop (not 9 to 8) and 23 lvl mana troop doesnt make average hero fast (it changes average hero from 10 to 9 tiles and fast hero is 8 tiles). I know it still makes 3 matches but sometimes you match 4 or 5 tiles, not 3 and in that case even 1 tile is important

[@LionRoarGamer]

Xevo234 yeah thats more precise but I didn’t want to get too nitty gritty with numbers...I just wanted to summarize the big effect troops have at levels 11 and 23.

[@Xevo234]

Ok, I just wanted to clarify if someone wanted exact numbers

[@toetaggerh4253]

I would love to see a video on how mana troops effect your heros on defense vs crit toops. I've read the numbers on the forums but it's not in laymens terms and I found it difficult to comprehend.

[@suemajnee]

Great content as always 😃 more please !!

[@Karajorma]

Which troops should you use for titans? I can see larger benefits to using critical troops there as you'll do more tile damage and you don't care about your specials as much.

[@deadw1nd]

Great vid. Very helpful. Thanks for explaining in detail.

[@tehjoch]

I learned so much thank you. Now all I need is a 4* troop

[@lighteninglancelot7021]

The bit you didn't talk about is the effect on Defensive Heroes... Example, you have a Slow hero with a Level 29 Mana Troop... On offence this means they charge 1 tile quicker... 11 instead of 12... Hardly a world changer and you get this benefit from a level 17 Troop anyway... BUT, the same troop (29) on the same slow hero on defence means they charge 3 tiles quicker... It takes 3 less tiles to set them off...

[@Xevo234]

Do you think it is worth to go for 2% mana bonus in G Jackal's talent grid as I have 4* yellow mana troop (lvl 4)? I know it will allow Jackal to charge faster already on 5 lvl 4* mana troop instead of 11 lvl but I went purely for attack on my jackal and on the other side of mana bonus there are health and attack bonuses

[@michelmorio8026]

Is it better to give slow Tanks like Kunchen a mana troop to get faster or a Crit troop to help them survive? This is always a very tough choice to me cause both makes sense to me...

[@LionRoarGamer]

Michèl Morio I think mana troops are just as useful on defense, especially on a tank who’s getting hit with tiles over and over.

[@michelmorio8026]

NittanyLionRoar - Xtreme Panda thanks, than I will give my mana troops priority even for most of my defense guys/girls Right now, I have 2 or 1 of each of the 2 from all 5 colours due to lucky pulls (last Atlantis I did all my 30 epic troop tokens from June/July after Atlantis was disappointing...) and now they are replacing all my Lvl 15 3* troops and Ingot enough 3* Lvl 1 to bring 1 of each colour to Lvl 11

[@cameronschwoegler3728]

Really nice video, thank you.

[@TrueCorventus]

Hi, thanks for the vid. I noticed you used a crit troop for Guin, so what is your recommendation for her?? Mana or crit troop??

[@LionRoarGamer]

Corventus if I could go back I’d use a mana troop. It just so happened I had a Delilah tank for a long time who benefits more from the crit troop

[@TrueCorventus]

@@LionRoarGamer Thanks bro, I'll do that. Makes sense with Delilah.

[@SemyRostandLewisTraBi]

Ohh great advice thank you

[@TravelingWithKiwi]

This video really blow my mind especially on the raid example. Although don't know when I get there :(

[@19Derek82]

Nice video, thanks. My question is, how do you gain the troops,, wait for coins you gain through events and such, or spend a little on gems to do 10 pulls. I seem to get low level troops even when I gem a 10 pull

[@LionRoarGamer]

Derek Stephens I’ve mostly gotten mine through the free coins but there was a time I spent some gems to fill in the rest.

[@19Derek82]

@@LionRoarGamer thanks, I'll gem here and there to try speed it up. Takes so long

[@ChalkyWhite69]

Can you explain why Gravemaker charges his mana with only one match at the end of the game? I noticed sometimes that heroes charge faster than usual sometimes, but why is that? Is it because you did a combo before?

[@LionRoarGamer]

Heroes charge faster when you send the tiles up a gap rather than hitting the opponent. Also, the troop on the hero can make mana charge faster.

[@georgefawzy]

do troops affect defence team? i.e. would they for example make slower heroes charge faster?

[@LionRoarGamer]

Yes

[@remiavard7709]

I grinded mana troup, but I got Gregorion so i switch to crit troups to boost gregorion, it is a good idea or better to boost mana all the way ?

[@LionRoarGamer]

rémi avard ... the mana troop is better for Greg. He is average speed so when the troop gets to level 23, it makes Greg “fast.”

[@jkthaballa]

i got alot of crit troops no wonder i like why it taking foreva to go off

[@jdramirez77]

3* troops were worth 290 to level... now they are worth 200... how is there not greater outrage?

[@MakeYouFeelBetterNow]

Your argument for crit troops vs mana troops doesn't make any sense when it comes to fast building heroes. If mana troops don't affect fast builders significantly, it makes more sense to use crit troops.

[@LionRoarGamer]

MakeYouFeelBetterNow watch it again...you do it to make average and very fast heroes faster. That’s the benefit.

[@MakeYouFeelBetterNow]

@@LionRoarGamer So you're saying for fast troops, you're better off with crit? But since it would be hard to level both of them, you'd probably be better off leveling the mana troops. Is that correct?

[@LionRoarGamer]

MakeYouFeelBetterNow correct!

[@Grombus]

crit troops for defense and mana for attack

[@LionRoarGamer]

REAL BlackShadow if you have the ability to level both highly, sure. I’d still recommend mana for defense because there’s no better bonus in the game than making your heroes fire their specials faster, and mana troops do that for defense too.
