Tips for Hardcore

Firstly Hardcore or HC for short is not the best method of getting timestones and does not give you better daily rewards, the only upsides is having better Magic Item Find chance. HC requires you to have 200 inventory spaces, if you dont have 200 inventory spaces then you cant play this mode as well as if you havent beaten hell difficulty yet. For those who have beaten hell and want more timestones/challenges then go to penance which is hell difficulty but you add a scroll brought from Stella's shops on Floors 19 and 99. Scrolls that are level 30-39 will give the best timestone rewards when rebirthing after defeating Karg on floor 99.

The gear you put in before starting your run does not get lost (like many think) but is temporarily made etherial for the HC run due to you will be buying your gear back from victories made on Elite floors and floor Bosses. Note that you can't buy floor 50 gear till you get to floor 50 so plan accordingly for having swap outs every few floors. Focus on filling as many spaces with gear that has the gold find sub-stat up to about floor 70 then add in powerful floor 71+ gear for the end game. You can buy 2 hero levels per normal floor so lvl 99 heroes is first possible around floor 75 range if you had a good run, hence the gold find drop towards the end where defence and damage are really needed. Hero cards are very important and you want to make sure to have some replacements stocked up as well because in HC if you fail to win the battle then your heroes try to run, if they fail to run, well they die and they lose all the etherial gear they had equipped... Not a perminent loss just means you have to buy that gear back, again. There's ONLY, yes I'm saying it, ONLY a 95% chance to flee from a battle and keep your hero but that's dependant on how long the hero survives, and I know move speed can be a big factor and I could be wrong but I believe evasion us the other factor to the equation it does. The biggest issue you and every other Looper is going to have is gargoyles in Act 2. They are just ruthless and will quickly cause a game over so be cautious when trying to do elites around floors 28 to 39. A team of tanks will die in 2 or 3 hits and most players try to aim for a team of 2 tanks and 3 ranged units as the second tank can be placed further back to be a second sacrifice after the first tank drops quick and you just gotta out DPS his Armor regen.

I hope this helps and i plan to add more to this when I have more time or if I notice things I need to include. Im also open to hopefully answer any questions.

Traits

To update your heroes and their traits for Arena and World Boss you must make sure the locks on the heroes pictures in the arena and World Boss tabs are unlocked. You must then have the hero in your party set up how you want before defeating Kargath on floor 99. After that go to the tab you updated and lock them to save that set up so it doesn't change next time you beat Kargath.

When doing arena (PVP) heroes are counted as Medium enemies so duelist works here and the battleground is held in act 4 so mountain climber works too.

Adaptability is great... enough said.

Survival Instinct wont activate if your health doesn't fall below 10%, so you could die before it activates. When activated it makes you momentarily invincible and invisible to enemies.

Excess Mana works for heroes that use their ultimate at the start of battle.

Angritte's Ultimate always hits critically even with the Cautious trait equipped.

Every team that has 3 dragons (Khaladria, Aska, and Drakus) needs these 2 traits, Excess Mana (yellow) and Crisis Managment (blue) as they go great with the dragon synergy.

If a hero has negative trait points you can still add yellow traits to them,you can add red ones too but that's counter productive.

Resistance is normally set to only have a max amount of +75% so check your heroes stats before adding any elemental resistances.

World boss is effected by Monster Hunter. World bosses are also set to different acts so if you want to beat a specific World boss add the act trait that they fall under.

Unskippable tutorial. Still unskippable a year later, so much for improving experience. You can force new players to sit though it so they can understand the interface mess, but returning players will have the same problem - what to do with this mess of an interface. Also shame on you, google for recommending me a game that I reviewed with a single star.

Updating this review because I was able to recover my account. I still don't like that that happened at all but they gave 2000 of the premium currency in compensation so that helps. The game is overall pretty interesting and fun. Lots of micromanaging needed for best performance. Previous Review(2 stars): It was fun for a while but my game randomly got deleted, no fault of my own, and I can't seem to recover it. It's not worth playing if you can't trust the save game system.

Overall I love this mix of AFK Arena and Torchlight II; those are two of my favorite games. The one element I din’t care for is equipment being tied to floor level, as when you start the tower over you have to reset your equipment. Tying equipment to the rebirth/upgrade mechanic would be better. Having to swap equipment every level in what is supposed to be a semi-afk game doesnt make sense to me. Once a character is able to equip something, they shouldn’t oater be temporarily unable to. By contrast, making some equipment dependent on upgrade status still accomplishes some gating without requiring excessive micromanagement.

I can’t state enough good things about this game. It’s simple, incredibly deep, and doesn’t demand your time. Part Roguelite, Part Loot Grinder, Part Auto Chess, it’s literally a perfect IOS game. This isn’t an active play game, it simulates battles climbing to floor 100 while you’re away, you choose your characters randomly as you hit different floors, those characters are modified by perks allowing you to build a hero differently run to run. It is about team building, synergy, and gear. Upgrade systems are enough to give you control of how you play but simple in that there aren’t 300 currencies and 19 stores to buy things from. Best of all - Can’t really “whale” it. Dolphins get a decent leg up, but everyone is on a mostly equal playing field where time played matters most. Free to play absolutely can compete spenders.

Stop forcing me to use a full deck and hire heroes. Let me just use a single hero if I want to. How do I remove heroes from party and deck you forced me to add? Stop automatically picking a hero if timer expires and let me refuse to get a new hero. Give me option to disable automatically upgrading a hero. Give me option to abandon a dungeon. Give me option to skip formation select before every single fight. Stop forcing me to open rebirth menu.

I love the style that surrounds this game, however being on a device that is a few generations old means I have to let the offline feature do 90% of the work. There is no “performance” mode, let alone any options that allow you to reduce the strain on your device. I would be on the game much more if my device could handle running it for more than 15 minutes without overheating. Please implement options that can allow older devices to put as much screen time into the game as newer devices.

I asked a question in chat and I was immediately attacked by someone name Bear56, he stated I was an idiot with no skills. (In an rng based gacha game) needless to say, these games have cliques where like minded people try to gang up on others who are just starting out. Anyway if the developer allows it, then I or anyone else shouldn’t take part. I simply asked why the troops I bought, even though they were in my party would not “drop” to use in the dungeons.
