Make sure to research lightning weakness for dungeon bosses in Monster lab as soon as you unlock those! ▶ Is Web treasure good? No, Web doesn't decrease damage dealt by Dragons, because for some reason their attacks are not considered ranged. Unicorn shield and Broken shield do reduce the damage taken from all the dragon's attacks. ▶ Boosting droprate: Make sure you have the Strange Key treasure equipped and you are in a guild to boost your chance of getting the top tier item from dragons ▶Tips: Try to pop a 3x gamespeed ad when you want to hunt dragons, as you will get more out of your manual gameplay with the increased gamespeed When the chest timer ends and the item ascends from the chest, quickly double tap the game speed button in bottom left corner to speed up this process. You can save a little time by doing this. It might take a while to get the hang of it, but it really helps!

[@Voidglow]

Thank you so much for this builf laku, for some reason its way stronger than the previous meta one too (prob cause we got x3 skill points now) but i went from killing dragons in about 3 dark necromancer uses to just 2, keep it up laku!!

[@LakuJK]

Yeah the skillpoints really do help out alot at this point! I'm happy to hear you've had great success with it 😊 thanks for the kind comment!

[@alexandrustoican2228]

btw since the new update added +5% hero crit chanche to all town archers tresaures you can use them with the frozen bow and dont worry about them taking the assasins crit damage because they only have a 20%-ish crit chance

[@LakuJK]

that's a solid option yes 👍 but only for town archers, the cannons dont get slow from the frozen bow

@Laku Thanks for the great video! Any reason why you present it as a legendary-dragon-setup? Does it also work as it is for bone dragon? Or are changes recommended?

[@LakuJK]

My pleasure ! I presented it as Legendary Dragon setup to be able to show a build that works against the early(ish) game dragons 👍 the core for bone with pure lightning build would basically be the same, but the amount of extra skillpoints available opens up some variations for the build (such as getting the witch node in summon skilltree and taking in all 3 witches for damage boost to other heroes thanks to the node). Also for Bone dragon you would not want to keep thunder towers in anymore, they won't be able to keep up at that stage of the game 👍 but otherwise main 3 dps heroes will be exactly the same

Which equipment line is best for Zeus and dark bow master?

[@LakuJK]

For bowmaster (lighning archer) best lines are critical chance and critical damage 👍 additionally lightning damage, attack speed and damage% or boss damage can be used For Zeus best lines are also critical chance and critical damage 💪 additionally lightningn damage, damage % and boss damage(boss damage only more of a late game thing)

Hi Laku! I'm just confused of what I should level first (the lightning tower, Thor, Zeus, Lightning Archer, or the castle itself)? I don't know where to spend my gold; sometimes it goes to nothing or I waste it. Please answer in reply or make a video of where to spend gold in lightning build (what to upgrade first, is it hero or castle?) Love from 🇵🇭

All of those you mentioned should be your main units to spend gold on 👍 thor should be highest with your castle and then the rest of the 3 lightning units There is more detailed information also about unit levels available in my discord server 😊 invite link is in the video description if you want to!

[@Adrii0x29A]

Is there a hero you would recommend over druid if my previous setup was physical summon and had leveled the meta heroes for that build? Or do you think druid is still better?

[@LakuJK]

In dragon build? Druid can be used for the increased defense to survive the dragon no problem 👍 but if you are looking for damage dealer amongst your old phy summon units, really depends what level they are now and were you able to kill leg dragon with them earlier before meta shift?

[@GrowcastlePro]

Laku the two tower slots you kept remaining what towers do I put there and why not town lightning cannon?😅

[@LakuJK]

Nothing will make big difference in those slots, you can leave them empty or use any that you want/have If you have leveled town archers, the Archers are stronger than the cannons 👍

[@GrowcastlePro]

Thanks bro

[@lemonthegamer2971]

Can the dark Skeleton buff and town archer buff be activated at the same time? Or only 1 buff is applied? Same for town archers and hunter

[@LakuJK]

yes, Dark skeleton and town archer buff can be activated at the same time. However town archer buff and hunter buff are the same, so they cannot be activated at the same time and casting another will overwrite the old one

@@LakuJK ok thx

[@Thudnok]

Besides the Pure Wizard being in the middle, does it matter on the placement of the heroes?

[@LakuJK]

A little bit for some, mostly that heroes who fire projectiles should be towards the front of the castle so that the projectiles have less distance to travel in order to hit enemy. Also reason why DLA is placed on bottom row front in wave build, is that she would have direct line to attack bosses once they apper (instead of curved projectile path if she was sitting at the very top). The boosts are small but worth doing still. Units that dont have projectiles dont really care where they sit

[@chasemorton9028]

For the Strafe upgrade in the skill tree if it adds +1 arrow with a 200% damage decrease and the node below is a 100% damage increase, is the damage output from the +1 better while taking a 100% damage decrease?

[@LakuJK]

I actually explain the nodes and the increases in here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d3u5o59mfq-brc0si=bRGwfXeUNnq--tyG&t=90 but yes both of the nodes result in increased damage output, the wording can be a little confusing

[@Diamior]

i've started this game quite recently, im currently at 11k waves, starting to farm the sin dragon. Should i start to transition from physical build to lightning with the recent update ? lightning sound both more fun and stronger rn, but idk how hard it is to transition to one build to another

[@LakuJK]

I would recommend trying to switch over to lightning yes 👍 it will likely take a while to get those units leveled, when you start i would recommend to begin by focusing on Thor and Thunder Towers, once they are at decent level, them and Dark Lightning Archer will be able to carry your waves already most likely. You can also temporarily check if keeping Sniper and Giants in the lightning build will help you out during the transition (instead of Dark Elf and Dorothy), but Giants will likely just be dead weight in there

[@induraGONE2]

Lightning build is very powerful in erly games 👾

[@yugipay5884]

Yes, this meta is very strong, but we have to be consistent at the beginning to get a lot of gold because this meta takes up a lot of upgrade space.

[@AntoCrakecio]

How many waves do I need and what hero level should I have before challenging the legendary dragon?😊

[@LakuJK]

Wave level will differ a lot from player to player, but something around 50k to 70k probably (can be earlier or later). You will want to level 4k heroes for main units I would say, but even if you win with that setup, it's going to be extremely slow to kill the dragon. Farming levels are usually achieved between 100k and 200k waves 😊

@@LakuJK thanks

[@remaru1543]

If i wanted could i use this for bone dragon to once i get late game?

[@LakuJK]

Pretty much yes, for full lightning users the damage dealers will be the same 👍 small modifications can be made for example once you have enough skillpoints to also reach summon tree and pick the "increased damage per witch" node, you can add eventually all 3 witches into the build just so your damage dealers get passive boost from that skillnode. No need to level or use the witches, its enough that they sit in the castle

[@pietrobrocadello]

Would you make also a video on lightning build to clear up like the map towns and stuff like that or do you think waving build is fine even there?

[@LakuJK]

I will, but the units are pretty much the same with minor tweaks 👍 mech ram with knockback items is great there for example, so is giant ogre. Blue defender instead of red defender is most likely better in IC and Orc colonies

[@adrianbiasin9684]

How long would it take me to be abel to kill legendary dragon im on wave 6k

[@LakuJK]

You will likely want to 10x your current wave for legendary dragon 👍 it will take some time, but keep on waving with worthless coin and you will eventually reach that level 😊 i believe in you!

[@zxc-i2v]

How many jumps do you make with the horn? I'm curious about how you can clear waves so quickly and how you can earn gold and grow quickly. Also, how much dragon farming do you do per day? Sorry for using a translator, but I really want to get the above content, please.

[@LakuJK]

On my main account, i do 5 waves so devil horn+4 👍 On my alt account i do 2 waves so devil horn +1 👍 there is not really any superb shortcut for earning gold and growing quickly, it's rather long run actually. I would recommend focusing heavily on legendary dragon once it's farmable fast for you. I don't do any set amounts of dragons per day myself, but if you have time, I would recommend 1000 defense per day until you have most of the items you need. Then wave until you can farm bone dragon fast and do the same again. It's a long journey no matter what you do

[@Haraindu]

Hey, I got a question. My zeus is dying in the battle, and idk how to prevent it. Can you please help me? I would really appreciate it

[@LakuJK]

you probably mean Thor right (the leader)? How many skillpoints do you have? if you can reach the 20% increased leader damage skillnode in skilltree, you can also pick the two skillnodes above it that will allow thor to heal himself

[@Haraindu]

​@@LakuJKyes, I mean thor. Sorry.. I only have 51 skill points and I realized that's a little bit too early do defeat him.

[@GrowcastlePro]

Laku one more question from which wave do I start killing which dragon

[@LakuJK]

There's not any set wave for it, it depends on your unit levels and items really. I would say you can get your first kills around 50k waves but i would recommend waiting until 80-100k before starting to really farm him

[@GrowcastlePro]

Thanks

[@i_am_chero6405]

Which hero should i use if have the extra hero slot?

[@LakuJK]

For this, nothing is really going to be making huge difference, but if you have enough skillpoints to reach summon tree also and the extra dmg per witch node, then any of the three witches would be optimal choice 👍 if you are struggling with first kills and ground monsters for some reason, giant ogre or ice wizard could help with that, but that shouldnt be an issue usually with lightning

[@mik-mimtv2198]

What do i use instead of strange key?

[@LakuJK]

You should always use strange key 👍 killing dragons without it is basically wasting your time. But only choice would be defensive treasure (unicorn shield/ broken shield)

[@notrandombs7666]

How do you leave the computer on at night for wawe ?

Hey laku im using physical build at 75000 wave,i don't have a problem in wave,i can use devil horn+2 and level 420 infinite tower,so i will keep my build until my physical hero level 10000 and then mix up to lightning or just restart with lightning build,im so confused

[@LakuJK]

I'm glad to hear you are still finding success with the good old physical build 👍 it's pretty hard to make the decisions on whether to start leveling new units or try to stick to the old ones, but since you are finding success, you can for sure keep going until that point if you wish to! Lightning should be more viable now after the update, but you can also take your time to watch how others develop their accounts and then switch over to lightning later on when you are ready to do so 😊

[@HoangDuongQuoc]

why not archer

[@LakuJK]

For this account, I did not level town archers. With Ice Bow treasure equipped, they can be used to slow enemies during waves even if they are not leveled up for damage. For dragons unleveled TA will do absolutely nothing so it is better to have them unequipped really. Why I didn't level them? This is a question almost everyone has in their mind as they start playing and see some people not using Town Archers at all. Basically the reason for not leveling them is: - It is more efficient to use the gold on heroes instead as they scale much better through skill tree and items - Town Archers do not benefit from the skill tree EXCEPT for the big Sword icon nodes (only 1 of these is located in each tree branch) AND from the top right corner section which is specifically made for Town Archers. Heroes on the other hand will start to scale right from your first skill point used. - Town Archers cannot use items UNTIL you reach that top right corner in the skill tree (check this video for a guide about that: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nXW5o6GfabGZmNU) and that won't happen anywhere near your early game phase. - Their low damage may "steal" critical damage debuff applied by Dark Assasin from away from stronger units - Simply put, the amount of projectiles they fire may lag your device, causing your performance to be worse and even result in defeats. Yes, this is a real thing, the game is hardly optimized. HOWEVER, that does not mean YOU must follow the same path as I did here. In fact if you choose to do so, you may level them up alongside with your other units and still be able to progress. If you do this then I would recommend using Cursed Knife treasure instead of the Ice Bow for increased damage. You will eventually want to level your Town Archers to level 10.000. Why? Because for each unit that reaches level 10k in this game (except Castle), you gain 1 skill point for the skill tree. This may sound like a very distant future for you right now, but it is something to keep in mind. Until level 10k, no gold spent on any unit is permanently wasted! Later on you will have everyone on level 10k or above. However in most cases I would recommend stop leveling your Town Archers when they reach level 10.000 and start focusing on heroes only, for the same reasons I listed above. Tip: if you choose to level them early on, change away Elf from the build and pick Hunter (promote to left side promotion) TL;DR Level them up to 10k gradually as you play, or ignore them in early game and bulk level them later when the amount of gold is "cheap" for you. Eventually same result, choice is yours.
