How to get better card?

[meufdu69]

Hello,
Sorry for this question, it look very noobish but all my cards (i have on chest and stuff) are very weak one with low hp and pretty terrible skills... problem is I'm beaten on every challenge (I mean everything expect quest combat) and stuff I'm always against crazy cards who deal stuff like 10dmg to a random card +10 armor etc...
All I have are some weak goblin/dwarf with very low HP dealin like nothing.

Thanks for your help.

Get in a guild asap, the guild should complete tasks for you to get tons of keys and most important gems. Save 500 gems for the armor that gives you most gold, then keep buying gem chests (preferably 50 for 450 gems) While you save up gems you should get enough other keys for some better troops.

Well, you need serious time investement. My 2 cents

-join a "active" guild ASAP. Start of the week (monday reset) you want to be in a guild where people actually finish tasks, so you get showered in keys/gems even if you are new and can't contribute much yourself.
-spend event keys only if a desired legendary card is in that weeks rotation (like Dragon Soul this week). if no "top" card is in the weekly rotation do not spend your precious event keys (or even worse: gems to buy keys).
-spend gold/glory/glory keys only in 50er stacks. Don't know if it really increases the chances for some good cards but I find it more rewarding that way.
-if in a guild, spend your guild taks for guild chests only at the end of the week and only if your guild hit the 20.000 seal task, for better reward. If your guild never gets more then 10.000 seals done, think about jumping ships to a more rewarding guild ;)
-spend glory for the weekly special chest to get the new weekly card. At least once. If the card *is* good, try leveling the card up. In the past since I joined the game, I enjoyed several of the weekly cards. The "Wargare totem" was fun with Wargare team (in Wargare week). The "Dwarf gate" is still a solid card I use form time to time. Recently Goblin Princess Fizzbang was real imba the first days before she got nerfed, but still is a good card. "Wisp" is considered imba, "Firebird" was also a solid addition. So it may not every week be a good card, but from my limited point of view enough good cards end up in this chest.

If you are completly new and not in a guild, you might spend glory/gold for chests early on to get at least some cards. You can do that but I would advise to rather leech off on the guild tasks. So
-NEVER spend gold for chests. The weekly brown guild taks rewards should push you through. And so you can spend your hard earned gold to level up your kingdoms. You want every kingdom on level 10 for the skillbonus. Starting with the 5 kingdoms who push magic.

-NEVER spend glory for random chests. You will get keys through your weekly pvp and through the yellow guild tasks. That should be enough, even if it might not get fast enough for your taste.
Keep your glory for the weekly special chest and if needed to buy them in bulk for traitstones and/or to level the weekly hero if useful.
-Keep on to your gems. Do not use them for chestkeys early on. If you are new, save your gems for Dragon Armor and then Celestial armor.
If the event chest has a good weekly selection for legendary cards and you are low on event keys, you can/should invest gems for keys there. but I would really get the 1000 gems for both armors before thinking about that. You want the dragon armor for your weekly pvp and in general and the celestial armor for the times when you need to farm souls to level up cards


Besides that, level your cards if you have enough for ascension and watch in pvp/guild wars what enemy teams use and then look if you can proxy these teams. In time you will get better cards and better teams. But it will cost you time. Do your daily/weekly chores
-daily dungeon bosses as good as you can
-daily guild war as good as you can
-weekly pvp for the full rewards
-weekly event as good as you can


If you are brand new and struggeling with cards, you will rely on your hero at first so
-Broken Spire -> Warrior -> weapon is a 4 red mace. Thats good for start.
After that aim for
-complete Karkoth kingdom for Sorceror class
and
-complete Khetar kingdom for Necromancer class
Then win 250 matches as Necromancer to get his weapon, which you then will use with the sorceror class to have a solid "dmg all" spell.
if you now also have a "Ranger" card

you have two solid dmg dealers for a start.


Of course if you have more money then time, you could buy tons of gems and then tons of gem chests instead of taking the long road and get good cards in the months to come ;)

Thanks for your help. ;)
I bought some gem, that's would help me a lil bit... I have time and money that's would be fast I guess.

edit: I found a dragon called Dimetraxia and a guy named "Paladin", I love them.

It will take some time and then some more to grind. but if you have time you will be fine.
If you get further in the game you should have soul farming team:
- warlock
- the dragon soul
- kerberos
- mummiefied king
with traits you can have 365 souls per fight
there a better card for farmin buts its mythic and im yet to find it

All the ways to increase the stats on a card other than leveling/ascending each card are:

Global Bonuses
These always apply to all teams regardless of everything, and are shown on the "Bonuses" tab of the Troops page even without selecting a specific Team slot:
* Kingdoms: Grind out Kingdom Levels (at least up to Lv.10) and Power whenever you can because this ultimately provides the biggest stat boost (not to mention the increased income of Gold/etc making other grinds slightly easier).
* Guild: If you join a Guild (the more active the better) and complete all 12 Tasks of a given color, you will get a stat boost for that week. However, this resets with each new week.
* Faction Renown: Grind out Factions in the Underworld from time to time. The rewards based on your global Renown score are mostly free daily Ingots, but also includes some permanent stat boosts. (Check the "Total Faction Rewards" button from any "Faction Info" page for details)
* Campaign Artifact: As described on the Campaign page. Resets when the campaign season ends.

For example, I've completed all 36 Kingdoms on the map and upgraded all of them to (at least) Lv.10, so every Team I put together gets a base stat bonus of +9 Attack, +7 Magic, and +17 Armor/Life, even if the cards themselves are only Lv.1.

Set Bonuses
These require specific team compositions to get, but are listed on the "Bonuses" tab for a team when those conditions are met:
* Kingdom: Use troops from only a single Kingdom (includes Hero with the kingdom's Class, check the "Class Info" page for details) to get a small stat bonus.
* Troop Type: Use troops of only a single Troop Type (e.g. 4 unique Dragons = +2 Attack/Magic and +4 Life) for another stat bonus. Another reason to do this is that some Legendary and Mythic troops (like Persistence and Cunning, two Guild Guardian troops) have passive traits that buff troops of a specific type only.
* Buff Pets: Some Pets have Kingdom or Troop Type buffs, which increase the above bonuses (if the bonuses apply to your team).
* Each week there is a free +10% bonus to specific Troops (kingdom or type).

Badges/Medals
The three slots at the top center of the Map screen. Generally, you need to collect Tokens to unlock these so here are the ways to do so (for free):
- Standard reward for defeating the Mythic boss in kingdom Explore runs. Remember that to unlock the Mythic boss you need 100 Mythstones, so pick a kingdom with the orange +20% Mythstone icon and do the highest level your team is actually capable of beating (even if it's only Lv.1). This is a long grind at first, but as you acquire better cards you can actually start farming high-level Explore runs (and even Mythic bosses!) pretty regularly.
(One of my go-to teams for this purpose is Sentinel class + Shield of Urskaya weapon + Clockwork Sphinx + Paladin, look them up because they synergize pretty well)
- Weekly World Events have unique Tokens (check the event's "Shop" and "Rewards" pages for details) which get recycled into "Token of Seasons" (+Attack/Armor/Life) after the event is over. It's fairly easy to acquire one or two per event.
