Ironhawk is such a cool troop for blowing through Lv 1 Explores for Gnome hunting or just even for when I was going for class wins for the weapons associated with them. Need to keep this video saved for when I get a 2nd to be able to farm out resources and also class XP. Thank you for all the wonderful teams to try out with 1 Ironhawk and for when I get a 2nd.

Excellent!

Another awesome video, another great advice...Leveling Slayer with one IH? Very cool stuff..very cool..Thank you Genki..you are the best.

[@dfaduck2482]

Hey there like to say thank you very much for this video. Really helps me out a lot because I was testing different teams myself but yours are better. The only problem I have is the last two don't have those mythics yet working on it. But thanks again we'll see you Friday morning or when you come back on. Thank you.

[@ThrottleFiend]

Hi Colleen, thanks for another great video. Watching it now. Have a question - how often do certain Mythics rotate through the Soul Forge? I ask because I'm interested in Iron Hawk, but I only have enough diamonds for one Mythic, and I've been waiting on High King Irongut. I missed him a few weeks ago because I didn't have enough, but I don't want to spend the diamonds if he's going to be back soon. If it's going to be another ~3-6 months, I can save up enough between now and then. Also, here's the team I use for quick-wins on explore (shout out to my Guild Leader Frat for showing me this) - it's something that doesn't require Mythics and is fast as buttered toast on an icy slope: 1st slot - Princess Elspeth - fully traited so she starts with full mana 2nd slot - Bomb Bot 3rd slot - Bomb Bot 4th slot - Hero with class that you are looking to boost, but make sure you have a brown weapon equipped. Use a banner that emphasizes brown mana. When the battle starts, if there's a match that will fill up your first Bomb Bot, do it and blow the bomb. If not, use Elspeth to sacrifice your hero, which will create a bunch of brown gems. Fill bomb, rinse and repeat. You don't get as much as on higher difficulties, but it's so fast, it doesn't matter. I used this combo to jump from around level 150 to 1,000. I was able to gain 200 levels in a day. Of course, once you hit 1,000, it slooooooows down. I'm like 1,131 now. As always, thanks!

[@GenkiColleen]

That's cool, I'll check it out, thanks! As for the soulforge, best I can tell, there are 5-6 weeks left in this cycle. HKI could show up the first week of the new cycle, or it could be at the end of the next cycle... It's so random! >_< This might help you decide whether or not to craft (be sure to check out the description, and remember that the totals are based off of the Gem Bounty... Being in a good guild will definitely affect those numbers!) kzbin.info/www/bejne/jZOuqptrp5ybgJI

Hey Genki, a very good vid with some interesting but very welcomed as I was looking for more E12 team options, currently only have 2 teams and they aren’t always E12 reliable.... Are there any plans to add teams, like from this vid, to the website, maybe a new ‘Explore x’ thread? I can see that being very helpful for future use (It’s alot of work but thought I’d ask😉). Thankyou 🙇‍♂️

[@GenkiColleen]

I can surely do an E12 series of videos, but I do have all of the Mythic Spotlight teams in one place here: genkisgamegab.forumotion.com/t4078-gems-of-war-troop-spotlights and the Guild Wars teams here: genkisgamegab.forumotion.com/t4105-guild-wars-teams , and pretty much all of them should be able to handle an E12. Until I can do my own, I know that Hazard has an amazing E12 assortment of videos (you can find a link to his profile through my Featured Channels section).

[@ant6662]

now i have my ironhawks. i am interested to see how it does on lv1 bounty with spare sigils

[@GenkiColleen]

It works! Nice and fast, but there really isn't a point in using the double Ironhawk team for the extra sigils, since the whole point is to get class XP with those extras :) On the plus side, the single Ironhawk will work, too.

[@ant6662]

@@GenkiColleen thats is what i meant since the explode from the potions would fill up crude club.

I was wondering if I could get your help on a Gold farming team. My goal is to raise the limit when in a fight above 0/300 at the top of my screen. Here is my current team. My character is wearing Dragon Armor for the Gold bonus. My team is [1214,6498,6498,6629,3067,2,1,1,2,2,2,2,14017] Skeleton Key +10,Cedric Sparklesack x2,Egg Thief (each with gold medals). My class is Thief and Banner is Stonesong Eyrie +2 Brown +1 Yellow - 1 Purple. My in battle limit is 300 at the top of the screen I was curios if there was a way I could do better. You seem to know a lot about everything in the game so I am coming to you. Oh maybe you could recommend where a team might be used best at that would be great.

[@deadclocks5828]

I run a very similar setup to this but with a small change, I use a red/green banner for the extra Egg Thief mana, get her looping asap and you’re set. Btw my setup, top to bottom is: Cedric, Egg Thief, Slele Key, Cedric. Sort of like a guard protecting the 2 stars of the team at top & bottom 😁 Good luck & have fun;)

[@GenkiColleen]

The only way to get it above 300 per battle is to have another troop with the Greedy trait, which would mean not taking your hero with you... That or replacing the Egg Thief with another Cedric, which would mean no source of mana-generation. I need to re-do my gold-farming videos, but you can check this out in the meantime: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aZCzmIRtqs-poc0 It's how to make a ton of money off of the fire bomb teams (you can conceivably use 4 Cedrics, just not during a vault event).

[@SerenityStar3000]

What about tripple Ironhawk + Dustdevil?

[@GenkiColleen]

It will do 20 damage to each troop, which isn't enough during a Gnome-a-Palooza (because of the Soul Gnome).
