Tips for start.

[Big Maq]

Ok for someone who just start game, tips for beginning, which artefacts upgrade in first place to beat waves faster, etc etc ?

[CY13ERPUNK]

dont try to get a specific artifact

and dont waste runes trying to rank them up

just craft more artifacts until they cost like 5k to build the next one

if u get lucky and get all 3 of baramuls, then it could be worth it to focus on ranking them up to max each 5/5/100 fork/pauldron/mug

the only artifact worth maxing immediately is the chronosphere

save all your gems until you get 500 and buy the chronosphere ASAP

dont bother trying to get more heroes besides the def/conq hunt/rngr just focus on them and open boosted chests until u run out of keys then loop

occassionally if u go work/sleep/afk then let them push on to a higher lvl to get more keys/runes for the next loop

for huntr, max big game, atk spd, and crit in that order to go thru waves fast and collect trophies, later on u can switch to BG/crit/atkspd as priorities ; this way u can collect arrowheads/fingers/bones

at max 5000 arrowheads u can spend 99 gems to trade them in for 7500 runes, this is probably the only 'artifact' ever worth demolishing, as it can help u build more artifacts and rank up others and arrowheads are easy to farm up and 99 gems isnt too much

eventually u could demo the chrono for a ton of runes if u wanted, but it will cost 600 gems total to get it back and then you would still have to rank it up all over again...

endgame is mimic chests, but there is a good guide for that on kongregate forums, do a google search

items from chest are the ONLY way to get permanent stat gains for heroes across loops

boosted chest give 2x the items [4-6x during primetime ; mimic chest unaffected by PT]
