Item Combination: What You Need To Make ‘Em Bleed

During the AI battles, you’ll stand a chance to get an item drop when you kill an AI enemy. These items are crucial to your game. Items can be equipped to your units and they are permanent and be carried over through unit upgrades.

Players who lose all their health have their items randomly distributed to other players.

Some items can be combined to create more powerful items. For example, the Broken Sword + Shield creates a Blademail which returns damage on attack. This synergises well with Redaxe Chief’s ability Taunt where all enemy units in 1 grid around him are forced to attack him.

Some items grant extra mana per attack. I usually equip this to Tsunami Stalker or Pirate Captain so that their AOE stuns happen more often.

Getting 2-Star And 3-Star Units

This is the key to gain more powerful units quicker than your enemy. Since the piece pool is limited, try to snag whatever you see that you already have. This will lower the chances of your opponents having the same unit.

If you favour a particular playing style, like oh say focusing more on mana source regenerators and assassins like The Source and Soul Breaker respectively, just save 3 to 4 slots for these guys if you want them going to 3-Stars.

Economy

In the early games, try to balance stocking up on pieces while levelling up your avatar. This gives you the best opportunity to quickly place more units on the board while

How To Get More Gold?

You’ll get 5 Gold each round, sounds a lot, but don’t spend it all.

Here’s why: Each round you’ll gain an extra gold for each 10 gold you have in your reserves. Keep in mind, however, that you can only earn a maximum of five gold per round in this way. Once you have more than 50 gold in the bank, it makes sense to start spending at least some of it.

Winning and losing streaks also contribute to your income. So the worst case scenario is winning and losing alternatively and not gaining any streaks.

You can also refund units who you think aren’t important anymore.
