A Nintendo account is crucial in two different aspects, a. The first is to save your progress and go to another device. Many people will complain that they do not have a way to save your progress, think smart and think ahead b. The second is to reap benefits. We will go more into this later but the things you get will help speed along your journey. II: Things to know Spoiler 2 Currencies a. Orbs- How you buy everything you want within the game. Most people use these to summon Heroes b. Feathers- Used for unlocking Potential- will be explained later. 2. 2 Costs a. Stamina 50/50- What you use to play missions and do other events. b. Dueling Swords 3/3- What you use to fight other people in the Arena. III: Hero Information 1. Weapon Triangle Spoiler a. Spear(Blue) beats Sword(Red) – Swords (Red) beat Axe (Green) and Axe (Green) beats (Blue). Note that there is a fourth colorless class that does not gain or lose damage bonus’s (Notably these are Ninja’s, Bow users and Healers) i. Please note that not all Red’s are Sword’s for example, Mages can be Red as well etc. ii. This is just the most common way to say it. b. Does not mean that it is an automatic 1 shot or kill. c. If you ‘beat’ or have the part of the triangle that is stronger you gain a 20% damage bonus and they lose a 20% damage bonus) d. EX: If I have a Sword (Red) and I attack a Axe(Green) Then I do 20% more damage to them and they do 20% Less damage to me. 2. Hero movement type’s: Spoiler a. There are different types of characters that is important to note because it is how they move around the map. i. Flying units- Can move two spaces- Ignores everything such as forests, mountains and rivers. Cannot however go through walls. Takes extra damage from Archers. ii. Calvary units- Can move three spaces, cannot go through forests. iii. Infantry units- Can move two spaces- However it is slowed by forest areas, sometimes you may only move one unit. iv. Armored unit- Can move only one space- Heavily focused on defense. 3. Hero Stats: These increase as you level your heroes. Spoiler a. Hit Points(HP)-Health- If reaches 0 your hero dies. b. Attack(Atk)- Amount of damage you do to a hero c. Speed(Spd)- Amount of times you attack the hero. If your hero has above 5 speed of the hero you attack, you attack twice. d. Defense(Def)- The amount of damage you reflect or don’t take. More Defense means less damage taken, (PLEASE NOTE Defense is for Physical damage only) e. Resistance(Res)- Resistance is the same as damage just Magical attacks. f. Skill Points (Sp)- These points you gain my leveling up your hero and/or merging your heroes. These points allow you to gain passives as well as level up your own abilities. 4. Hero abilities Spoiler a.

Please note that these have a cooldown time before you can use them: d. A-B-C i. These are the passive abilities. For most character’s, you only get two different passive abilities and They usually correlate with your abilities. (A-Weapon, B-Support C-Special) 5. Hero Summoning/Orbs Spoiler a. In reality there is only one currency in the game Orbs. When you first start the game, every player starts with a total of 15 blessed orbs. (This is not including Mailbox/ Nintendo rewards.) b. DO NOT SUMMON RIGHT AWAY! ALL WILL BE EXPLAINED IN A MOMENT. i. You playing for the first time are wondering huh. Orbs are super expensive, 3 orbs costs about $2. Not exactly the bargain I was looking for. ii. BUT WAIT! Here are a few tips to get some orbs! Without paying. 1. If you look at your missions (Home page, bottom right icon.) You can click a sign on the top right that brings you to a rewards page. At this page if you have a linked Nintendo account you get 10 FREE Orbs. 2. Another way to get orbs is by completing missions. 1 Orb for every mission completed. c. Hero Summoning Spoiler i. Hero summoning allows for you to gain new heroes. It is the fastest and simplest way to get hero’s, 1. 56% for a 3* 2. 38% for a 4* 3. 3% for a 5* 4. 3* for the focused hero 5* ii. When you summon a hero your first summon is worth a total of 5 blessed orbs and goes down in a 5-4-4-4-3 fashion. If you want to summon all 5 Heroes, you need a total of 20 orbs to summon. iii. Do not spend your orbs the second you hit 20, try and get a few more so that you can buy more stamina and other items if needed IV: All Tabs 1.

Settings. Spoiler a. Need help? You found it. b. Can see Inventory here if you were looking for the bag option. V: Other things to note Spoiler 1. Check your items every so often. It is nice to know the number of crystals/shards and badges you have. 2. Make sure to do the Special Maps (Daily), it an easy way to get some feathers and it will stack after a while. 3. Summon in the same Category you focused on. You want a better chance at the same heroes to merge for later. 4. Make sure to keep upgrading your skills. They do not talk about it in the tutorial and some may forget 5. Do not forget to claim your ten orbs 6. There is an auto battle but I do not recommend it.

eclipse Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Things to do: 1. Find a nice compromise between the various skins. Your guide is really hard to read on Night Forest. 2. Add spoiler tags. I'd do one for every section. Once I can actually read what you wrote, I'll comment on the actual content. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eclipse Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 In general: 1. Your grammar could use some work. I'd be willing to clean up your grammar if you don't mind me editing the first post. 2. You could probably take some screenshots, annotate them, and use that as a basis. Screenshots in spoilers, of course! Here's an example: Spoiler Home screen explanation: Spoiler This is what you see on the home screen. 1. Your name 2. Total orbs 3. Current stamina, with a timer that shows how long it will take to recover one stamina point 4. Dueling swords 5. Hero Feathers etc. You'll want to do a better job with the number font/placement/color - I just slapped everything together with very little thought for aesthetics. It'll save you a lot of words.
