Well said Lord Pontail. Waiting for season 2 now. 👍🏻

[@jesyblack1671]

You definitely are the king of farms. I also have 8 farms ( haven't finished zone com in them tho 🤣😅) and they're c16/c18 and no matter what amount of rss I need, this is no more an issue. MAKE farms 😌👌🏻

[@bucky414]

I have lost my game 5 times and everytime I was at C18 the last one was lost to there asking for update from the Google market but there was no update and when they finally put an update on their start up I had start from the beginning again. It sucks.

[@jesyblack1671]

You were that experienced player that I really learnt a lot about heros from.I even didn't know range of heros when I started watching, now I advise my alliance members what combination to use ( and we're not a small alliance, we definitely are one of the top 3 in s2, we have above 40 c25 , above 20 t9 and so many really strong t8s) and it's all thank to you 💛❤️ keep up the awesome work :))))

[@LordOfPondtail]

Hey Jesy, that's great work from your team, and definitely not just down to me! But happy I can help you all and look forward to battling with you all soon, whether that be in CoP or on a Eden map in the future!

[@WilliamStreiff]

Thanks for the lesson,,I have a question ❓,, do we have to purchase Dragonite with real money,,or will patience eventually win out

[@magoo9066]

Hey, thanks for the vid! Ive heard you mention about seasons on a number of occasions - when do these seasons happen and do they work on a cycle? I've started playing about a month ago now and have 2 awakened orange heros and hoping to awaken a 3rd (orochi) but not sure if I should now? I also have rough rider in 2nd legion so should I bother with him anymore or not? I've already invested a bit... Any help would be appreciated

[@LordOfPondtail]

Hi Magoo, seasons I refer to are Reign of Chaos (ROC) seasons. They last for 9 weeks at a time (1 week prep, 7 weeks of battles, 1 week of tallying/rewards) then 3 week break and they start again. I think your first season will start after you've been playing the game for a couple of months. As you have been playing for a month I would keep trying to use your tickets on a Thursday to get more orange heroes. If you are free to play, you'll want to start saving some of your tickets so you can try and get the S2 heroes Immortal and Beast Queen. S1 heroes are not very good long term. But those 2 heroes I mentioned you can use for several years after getting them! Hope this helps :-)

[@edwardjjanzen23]

a question that i have as a new player. i am in a state where my level is greater than any one else. i am in an alliance which is 30 minutes away, 3 states divorced from me. i can't get to my alliance to help significantly. neither can they get to me. am i better to divorce myself from the alliance and master my own in the state i am in? problem with this is that the alliance i am in, is a much better alliance than what i could form. thoughts?

[@Cekmore]

I've been on the graft for abt 6 months and if it were not for an alliance merge to a good one in 328 I would have quit. Good people. Thought I would be casual but I on c 20 and have 2 farms 👊🍻🐈🔥

[@A.R.C.77]

Is it worth buying the land outside the castle? And also does it do anything besides more land

[@LordOfPondtail]

ARC - you're timing with this question is impeccable! Yesterday in my main I bought the rest of the land outside the castle. You don't get any building cop points for buying it on a Tuesday, my castle doesn't even seem to want to into account when using the auto change layout function. So to answer your question. No, it's not worth it. Unless you have endless resources and nothing left to spend them on!

[@A.R.C.77]

@@LordOfPondtail sweet thankyou 😁🤘

[@Silbusia]

There's one issue with what you're saying about Zone Commemoration: I play since a week, I just levelled up my Castle to lvl15 and I don't have Zone Commemoration available for another three weeks. Slowing down my development and waiting with Castle level to get Zone Commemoration first would slow down my game a lot and in about a week I wouldn't have any possibility to get reward chests. So I think it's important to add that Zone Commemoration opens up independently on our level (once our Institute is at level 8 of course).

[@Djinn-Dani]

personally, i would prioritise zone comm over castle

[@pinkbunnyslippers5673]

Tech over everything

[@arefeenmansur989]

When your C25 has no more building upgrades left what do you do on building day? Also, the best way to get gems is to do the hourlys and get the 9th chest on Cop. But as building and research upgrades dry up, how do you plan to get those gems? A lot of gems are required to get the super scrolls in the vip store and to gamble on gears.

[@LordOfPondtail]

Hi Arefeen, once you've completed every building then the only way to get points on building day is to spend dragonite. You can do this by crafting and gambling on gear and I'm currently building up my dragonite stock (currently at 750k). This will probably only get me 4th-5th chest..I'm trying to drag out the building upgrades as long as possible. You can still get hourly rewards if you complete the training hours and maybe the speed up hour.. But yes it will almost certainly result in reduced gems and hero tokens on Tuesday as I won't be able to hit 9th chest.

[@nursiega]

Great video as always! I have one question. In general, what is the best way (hero and army wise) to take tiles? I'm in RoC S2 and still working on my standard orange heroes.

[@LordOfPondtail]

Hey Valentin, to take tiles high resistance is needed so for normal orange heroes Dual Blades and Rough Rider are good for this. Footmen will also take fewer losses too. Later on in the game there are combinations which work for taking tiles. At your stage in the game Beast Queen is really good.

[@nursiega]

@@LordOfPondtail Thank you very much for the advice! It's much appreciated. I wish I could have more time to watch all your videos at once, because I learn a lot from your experience and I wish I have watched them few months ago 😀.

[@alecjames8583]

Zone Com is great and all, but how do you get enough points to pop 4 and 5 chests? Most events (except for hero dev.) it's hard to even crack the 3rd chest as an f2p player.

[@samlowrider]

You're right. But with maxed zone comm u can get at least 6th chest without even spending orange tickets.

[@voltbf4379]

Thats the whole point of maxing zone comm... With maxed zone comm you easily do at least 6 chests, i semi regularly do all 9 on all events

[@rosatong8288]

i have only 3 farms, but they are pretty awesome... well at least for me. I have spent, but not a lot and not when i first started. I just plod along... it is not fast... but it doesn't have to be they are fairly solid castles

My respects, I looked at all your contributions and nowhere did I see how to make farms starting from opening a new account onwards, step by step. That is very important to me because I don't know how to do it. Can you help me

[@KirkStClair-eo6mp]

Nice advice bro. Wish I heard some of it earlier. Like focusing on zone comm. But better late than never. However, I have a query concerning your point on save tickets for seasonal heroes. I disagree with you based on my experience. I have Lion Heart S1 hero. And to unlock his skills, I need more Lion Heart medals, which I cannot get, as opposed to regular season heroes. If I'm missing something, let me know.

[@LordOfPondtail]

Hi Kirk, so the idea of saving your tickets for the seasonal hero events is that you'll hopefully get a couple of copies of the seasonal heroes quickly from the event. Then you can collect more from fragments. S heroes are always better than standard orange. Take S2 The Immortal, he is an excellent hero which if you save your tickets and get several of him from that event banner you'll end up using him 15-18 months into the game..But don't get me wrong you do want to try and complete some orange heroes like North Rage, Dual Blades, Rogue, Orochi, Heavens Justice, Hurricane & Zorro. These are all very good and you'll use them for a long time in the game too as you work on get duplicates for your season heroes. :)

Unfortunately it's impossible to play competitively without spending lots of money . Even by getting the ROC season rewards it gives only heros of the same season. And the heros are random. Half developed heros are useless.

[@LordOfPondtail]

Hi Kamala, I'm sorry I haven't replied to this before now. T10 troops are not released in the game yet. It's probably going to be in the next 6-8 weeks. We'll need to collect a new consumable called the 'War Badge' to unlock them. You won't unlock them permanently either. It'll be for 3 months at a time.

When you reach C25 and max your Institute building at level 25 you'll unlock the 'Master City Defense' research which will provide you with lots of benefits on defense.

Bryan do you have NAP in your state, and if so are you in an alliance which is covered by the NAP? If you aren't then you need to change alliance. In the first couple of months you have to try and generate 2500 gems in your farm each week so you can afford a 3 day teleport to protect the farm over the weekend Kill Event.
