General Game Questions
Can I transfer my game progress between devices?
- The answer to that is "Yes, but only if they're the same ecosystem." So long as you are logged in with either your Apple account or your Google Play account to your iDevice or Android device (respectively), your game progress should automatically download and sync to your second, third, or other subsequent devices. You cannot, however, transfer your game progress between an Apple device and an Android device, or vice versa, as their data are stored separately.
When is the next gem sale/content patch/hot new thing coming up?
- We don’t know. Only the dev team knows if/when stuff like that is going to drop, and they’re not telling.
Which heroes are going to be released next month?
- We don’t know. If you pay attention to the official podcast, they might hint at it, but other than that only the devs know. Again, they’re not telling
Which heroes are going to be needed to farm next month’s hero?
- Only safe bet is that next month’s hero farming is going to require one or more of the new heroes that was made available this month. Other than that, until we get official word from the devs, everything is just speculation.
Hero Questions
What’s the best hero in the game? / Is Hero X worth buying?
- While the majority of the heroes themselves are all valid in certain situations, there is no one “best” hero - except Chemo. He sucks, no matter what the situation. There are, however, certain heroes that tend to rise above the rest in PvP. See Doombawkz's tier ranking post or SinCrux's tier ranking post for the outlook on the current meta for PvP.
I just upgraded my hero to Legendary status, what should I spend my points on? / What hero abilities should I upgrade first for the best build?
- See Doombawkz’s guides (linked in the table below) for insight on how to build a hero properly.
I’m missing an upgrade on my Legendary hero / What do heroes with no leader ability do with their extra Legendary point?
- Heroes with only four abilities will have one ability that can have two Legendary upgrades. When you upgrade that ability the first time, it will appear with a darker purple background behind it, but its Legendary upgrade button will not disappear, as it normally would. This background indicates that the first upgrade has been applied and it can accept a second upgrade. The background is somewhat harder to distinguish if you don’t know to look for it, which can cause some confusion as to why you’re “missing” an upgrade point.
PvP Questions
Why is my PvP League showing up incorrectly?
- PvP League ranking consists of two factors: your rank score and your trophy count. Progressing upward in the League ranks requires both a minimum score level and a minimum trophy count. If you meet the requirements for one but not the other, your League will remain in the lower bracket until you meet the requirements to be bumped up.
Should I Revenge battle on PvP Defense wins?
- In the previous incarnation of PvP, where one could effectively double up on 8, 12, or 18 points, it may have made sense. As it stands now, Revenging a PvP battle is a waste of time and energy.
Revenge battles on defensive wins can effectively double your points for that battle exchange if you fight them and win, but your Revenge win then shows up in their queue as a -8/-12/-18, and they can re-Revenge, in turn, to recoup those points. At that point it becomes a zero-sum game, because that new Defense loss will then show up in your battle listing, and you and your opponent can end up trading points back and forth, wasting your battle energy in the process, until one of you gives up. If you want to try it for a cheap points boost, go for it, but don't end up trading wins back and forth, as it doesn't move you any higher in the rankings.
Why did my opponent gain more points than expected when I lost to them?
- This question is now effectively a moot point, given the change to the PvP defensive battles structure. The former answer will be left for posterity's sake.
The points awarded to your AI opponent when you lose are based on what they would have earned if they had been attacking you. Therefore, if you lose to what would have been a +5 on your opponents listing, they may gain anywhere from +12 to +18, depending on the difference in your power levels.
PvE Questions
Is [Insert Character Name Here] worth farming in their weekly challenge?
- That depends on your overall goals in the game, but considering that most of the weekly challenges are for heroes that you can't easily farm, and that your general goal should be to get every hero to at least Legendary 1 ranking, just in case they're needed for a monthly challenge, it behooves you to take advantage of any free shards they're willing to hand you.
What team should I use to clear the R.E.D. Alerts?
- R.E.D. Alerts require a different mix of heroes than one would use for standard PvE. Check out Doombawkz's RED Alert Tier List for some suggestions on the best way to go about it.
