From the Ashes

[lorddragon97240]

Hello world !

I have 250M idols and want to try doing that objective but I suppose it won't be easy. If I wanted to do it as the game want us to do it, I surely would need Fire Phoenix lv 9000 at least (but I have enough of the wall at area 2060 and want to up my game ! ) and my max level is 8500.

I will probably use the roborabbit trick (L7/L1/R) but still want some advices on how to prepare to beat that thing ... and NO, I DON'T have Wrena but kebos is doing fine for now so, if you can tell me strategies without her

EDIT

Everything above is maxed and I don't know how to invest those idols

- 4.61e8 idols
- my phoenix is L6/L6/L5
- fantamondi doesn't help me in that case because of missing crusaders
- kilo leveling is at level 4
- level cap was 9000 at the last attempt with e312 DPS
- all T2 campaigns are done

how much DPS do you need to do the rest with buffs? i don't want to waste tons of buffs and realize in the end that it isn't enough.


edit: i finally did it. i read all the hints and tips again and again and raised the level cap to 9375. it was my third attempt and i needed tons of buffs. such an annoying quest.

Really wish that was easier to use without messing with a whole lot of things.

Congrats mon ami - you did it ! Yes that has been the hardest campaign so far. That was the definition of 'hard fun', no?

Also to get that number of idols since April/May 2019 is pretty impressive (4.61e8 wow!)
My suggestion - take a week off and you will come refreshed for the next event. (That is what I did !)

@SotF
I think the testimonials reflect just how much variability exists in accomplishing a goal in CoTLI. So much depends on understanding the very specific instructions (formation abilities) and early VS end campaign needs (crusaders, cards, time variables/xp, missions adrenaline ect....). If the eleventh objectives had been too easy then I players would have given up because there would be no surprise.

I think there should another round of very hard objectives soon, otherwise these latest Tier 4 and Tier 5 will allow us to tear up every campaign without thinking or strategy. No strategy and predictable outcome in games == death of the game from the players point of view.

Players need a surprise - thus for CoTLI we need more complicated equations (multiple log base) Talents and interactions between characters that have yet to be explored but that require a bit of cognition beyond just 'run my computer over night'. My two cents.

@kylo ded

you seem to be a kind person. thank you. :-)

from the beginning i invested asap in talents to earn more idols. i started cotli together with a friend and he didn't do that. now i have so much more idols than he has, that's incredible.

I just recently attempted this and stalled out at 1,250, 200M Idols and max level 8,800 at the time.

Try with at least a 8500 level cap. Except if you planned it from the start of the game, I don't think it is possible with "only" 8000 without tricks. Mycall helped me with his Propagation to heal some more crusaders ... so if you have him, maybe it can help you too

Now that I have Evanescent and realize the power of The Twins I feel like I should be able to complete this objective. And if not, get a couple levels of Lingering Buffs and put my thousands of buffs to good use.

Morrigan the Furious will save your arse in this one. Yes, they are a high level Crusader.

If you can have Morrigan, you should be able to do that objective without her ...
Plus, except if you let the minions die, only one crusader deals DPS.

That objecive is hard without using robborabbit (with some upgraded legendaries) or making a formation behind those minions so you can let them die and get your DPS back.

I have 60M idols but did not have any issue beating area 1450. The trick is to put a strong crusader behind the evil mage and wait till the mage gets killed which then in turn will enable DPS for everyone.

The last formation I got was probably one of the worst possible with mage in the 4th column.
I only used 4 crusaders in columns 1-4: Milgrid, Mime, Onna, Phenix.
Phenix is just helping to keep Onna alive till the mage is killed. The DPS for Phenix is irrelevant (e293, with max level 8550) but the Onna gets e342 which is sufficient in this case. (I have upgrade for Onna which gives monster health that of 75 levels lower).

If you don't have Onna, I would guess that different formations should also work. Don't have the roborabbit which seems to be necessary when applying other strategies.
