please only people who have played the game

This game is pretty pay-to-win. If you don't pay about 10 USD a month for royal merchant status *and* grind a load, you'll be a pleb, and paying for workers will not change that.

Engineer gets you guns (superior weapon blueprint) and reduced item break chances. But your items *will* still break. If you really like the game, if you want to pay in, if you want a little edge, then okay. But you will still be a pleb even if you buy engineer.

Scholar gets you wands (another superior weapon blueprint, maybe better than guns in practice with heroes, maybe?) and increased experience. But you're still going to be grinding *hard* if you want to push upper levels. Again, wands are nice, but you will still be a pleb unless you go in for heavy grinding and the monthly package.

Personally I figure I'm okay with being a plebian.

You can check out this fella on Twitch. He gave me some great advice. I was going into level 42 or something a week ago and I was like "wow I don't have enough gold". After taking his advice (and heavy grinding) I bought everything I want and am sitting on 120 million. Which is chump change for the endgame, but it's a lot to me and it's enough for my immediate future. Anyways check him out, he can probably help you out a lot.

(Note - he says to buy royal merchant too, but it's not like he's a shill. Legit, if you look at the stuff royal merchant gives you, it's a lot.)

He mentioned some videos on youtube by a different content creator, I forget who though.

Its mainly the one that gives xp boost and weapon break chance reduction which are worth it. That will help you level heroes faster, gain levels faster for your shop, and reduce the cost of items breaking. Bonus of buying the XP boost worker is she also unlocks enchantment crafting which is a decent way to make money early on. This also saves you money later on if you want to boost the power of your heroes since you can craft enchantments rather than buy them from the market.

Aside from that the 2 more recent dragon workers related to fusions aren't worth the cost especially since they're far more expensive than the other 2 workers mentioned above.

i make it short for you: NO ITS NOT WORTH! Safe the money for real games!

No. Not really. Having -50% break sounds great but in reality it doesn't do poop because even on low lvls u will go against bosses multiple rounds and break items.
As a matter of fact items break much more than you'd expect from the percentages.. even with 4% items I had 2~3x breaking in a row even with a single round battle. I think the game is really deceiving in this regard. Don't get too attached to items even if they are epic+.

The only thing that matters is the monthly subscription bonus and just grind/play the game as much as you can.

Im using epic/legendary items only on all my 10 heroes yet everything breaks pretty much every 1 or 2 battles regardless. I think the percentages are lying tbh. for these sort of (mobile) games it's intentional but it still sucks they are deliberately lying and deceiving about the break percentages and the fact this is legally allowed to deceive ppl like this... smh.. but that is the life we all agreed to live i guess

*not including multiple round battles
