Doing this as a side project as my main account has little to no progress lately (all ways of gaining gems burned up, coupons not giving anything etc). Anyway, the idea is that with all the gems I get I will only open Human Boosters (with the exception of the 1x altar that gives the guaranteed 5*) Why open only human boosters? For me they contain the best mix of 5*: Mystic needs no explanation... Balthazar - 4 turn Disposal is more flexible than Gorgon Archdeva - Completes the set by throwing cards back in the deck, then disposing them with revived Balthazar's. Titania - I don't really want her but she's okay. I started the account today and immediately collected as much gems as I possibly could. I ended up with 2037 gems, just enough for 3 Human Boosters. If I'd get nothing, I simply restart and try again. I wanted either Mystic or a Balthazar to start out with. And I got Balthazar on my very last Booster (also got Royal Knight, Juggernaut and Techno Chief) Its nice knowing that I have Balthazar and only need 675 gems for another 5* (I'll freak out if I get another Balthazar ). Now with all the gems I can obtain from arena I'll save every single gem for next Human boosters. I should be able to get around 15k from arena alone, if I can't get a Mystic by then I give up on this game lol!

I bought 4 human boosters (total between all booster sales so far) and got 0 5*, so i wouldnt get my hopes to high.
I did get a nice colection of some good 4*, but still, for the amount of gems spent its kinda of a let down.

Ill be able to buy around 15 boosters when I rank first. Even if I don't get Mystic I at least expect another Balthazar and 2 disposal is still better than what I have on my current account.

I thought about doing this, but my main is level 70 with many hours invested in it. I've had pretty bad luck to date but it just takes patience. For example I have 0 disposals but I'm confident I'll get one soon! Opened 7 human boosters yesterday and got Great Mystic and Archdeva!

Even with patience I doubt I'll ever get a Mystic on my main account. I've got 1 disposal on it which ain't cutting it either.
The nice thing about this fresh start is that I start with a disposal right off the bat for only 2k gems. I also have a guaranteed 5* waiting and Thalassa is easy to get as well.
I'm also in an arena where rank 1 seems to be extremely easy to reach, so I'll be able to get around 15k gems from that alone. that translates to more than 20 boosters.
Also when you go all out on a specific faction booster it makes your choice of hero a lot easier as well. Normally you pick a hero that corresponds with whatever you get, but now I know for sure I'll need a human hero. (though i'll still get Wight because he is just that good...)

Titania is a bit of a situational card. I use her mainly for decks with multiples or if there is a card I need to OHK (like a Thalassa). She's also the best Bullseye creature I have, I like her more than Anathema, Paladin and Manticore.

She's also the best Bullseye creature I have, I like her more than Anathema, Paladin and Manticore. Very true. In that regard there are so many situational cards out there that I really hope to land something equally awesome on my guaranteed Altar draw. I'm hoping for Balthazar, Hanuman, Gorgon, Phantom Liege. My odds of getting either one of those are really low lol. out of the 22 accounts I made before this I got like 6 Bloodletter and none of the above. I hate Bloodletter by now, lol her picture is way too cool for her skills. Oh well, I'm 300 gems (1day) away from getting the Altar draw. Will update what I get.

This is probably the best way to start a faction specific deck on an account, wait for the relevant faction booster event and go nuts very cool idea. might try it sometime

Especially for free players I think it is they way to go when you start fresh. For example my main account has accumluted the following 5* cards: (not counting sealed creatures) 4x Mortii, 2x Neander, 1x Human The human happens to be a disposal, so that one works good enough on pretty much every deck, but I wouldn't say the same applies for the Neanders. I only use them for lack of better options right now. I just hope I get lucky enough on the Boosters. Frankly if I can get 1 Mystic and 1 more Balthazar within 20-30 boosters I'd be happy enough

Eeeh I think you're underselling the strength of some of the cards you can get with Neander booster I mean sure its not great mystic or removals but if you wanted to play a Neander primary deck Quetz, Nidhogg and Tidal Siren are nothing to laugh at. Neanders are probably one of the factions that benefit the most by playing a faction specific deck and don't do so well in mixed decks compared to the other factions at least
Still It's a really good way to start an account and you're probably right about the humans being the best to go for in the end. Later in the game Revivals/Recycles/Instant Kills/Disposals are almost requirements unless you have something like Paragon (which I think is really sad) and even if you did happen to pick up a Paragon IK/Disposal still work to your advantage

I hate Neanders and only use one, Cyclops, in my main deck. However, in Guild Battles my Neander deck is just as successful as my Main attacking or Faen defense deck. Once I get a 2nd Panther Chief I'll finally have Venom Tyrant and my Neander deck will be even scarier.

I just got Ash Beast from the guaranteed Altar. Not entirely what I was hoping for but not too bad, and its basically a freebie after all.
Gotta hope I can rank up with Balthazar, Thalassa and Ash Beast and rack up some serious gems before next human boosters come out. If I can get somewhere around 8k gems I'm sure boosters give me something useful.

I pushed my luck today... and it paid off! I decided to try my luck at the hero altar because I wasn't entirely happy that I didnt start with a Mystic instead. I figured I'll just use up my final 900 gems, and if I get crap, I'll just make another account with next human boosters. But then suprisingly the best thing that could happen, happened on my second hero altar draw! Here is my deck after spending 2025 gems on 3 Human Boosters, 675 on First altar draw and finally 600 gems on hero draw. Now I'm definately going to keep playing, especially as every single glory point is put to good use now

I'm doing the same, but I guess I'm aiming for Faen (still gonna save for Human booster). I opened 2 Hanumans on that account. I wonder if I should push my luck at Altar too.
I also wanna say to those doing something similar, if possible join a Ghost clan (where only a few do the Guild Wars). Just by participating will grant you a good amount of guild points. Hell, it gives more than playing in a real guild (you won't get gems thou, you actually need to do some good deliveries). You can use these guild points for gold, so you can save a bit of gems from gold purchases (or accelerate the gold acquisition).

I just did it because I felt I had to, but an account that starts with 2 disposal is too good to risk gems on hero altar in my opinion. I wouldn't do normal altar either, unless you really want something random. Best part is if you can get the 3rd or 4th in the future. Then you are set for the entire game. Having said that, I'm actually earning back my spendings on Royal Guard: Yesterday I got 20 gems from trials, and today it looks promising so far...

I've basically done this as well on my alt. My 1st gembag 5* was balth. Then I bought about 10 hero draws and got patriarch. Then I got 1 paragon booster and 1 human booster (nothing worth noting in either). Gonna get another human booster in the coming days.

Then I got 1 paragon booster and 1 human booster (nothing worth noting in either). Gonna get another human booster in the coming days. This actually shows how luck influences the game so much. Your spending: 3000 on hero altar for a 3* Patriach 1350 on Boosters for nothing 675 for Balthazar Total spending 5025 gems
My spending: 600 for 4* Royal Guard 2025 for Balthazar 675 for Ash Beast Total Spending 3300 gemsI spend less and get quite a bit more... I've made countless accounts just to get this lucky one, but still the differences are insane. Same applies to players who get Hippolyta and those who don't, the difference is so huge to me. Also now that I actually have a 4* hero at low levels, I can really see how big a difference it is compared to being stuck on a 2* for about 40 levels. None of my glory goes to waste either, which is very convenient. I don't like pouring glory into a 2*. Even for gauntlet they only serve a very specific purpose, and it doesn't require good skills.

I think the current threshold you want to get to for lvl 60+ players is about lvl 69 cleared. Faster the better as it is it uses time completed as a tie breaker. Gets tougher each day as players continue to move up and they don't have anymore tiers after lvl 60. A week ago getting to the mid 60s was enough. The bar goes up as players keep improving. Only a matter of time that it will be a requirement to clear all levels and then it will be about who does it fastest after the daily roll over.

You can get trials in each of the four classes.
1-29 29-49? 49-59 60+
I ranked number 1 in the first class and it gives 100 gems as a reward. Considering I couldn't have made the rank without Royal Guard I basically reduced his 600 gems cost even more to just 480 gems.
You get more gems in the higher tiers, but 60+ has players that can beat trials at 90. And they are quick too. The average player (even the spenders) will not be able to get that far currently as it requires a rather specific deck that not everyone is fortunate enough to create, or a deck that is just blatantly overpowered.
I actually leveled up to 29 today and decided to not spend anymore energy for the extra possible 100 gems tomorrow before I level up. Sitting at around 1k gems, Still a long way to go for next Human Boosters. I really want around 4-5k before I even give it a try next time.

Really like this thread. Its give different alternative routes on how we should start or create our own identity in playing this game. More achievements to come inevitable. It seems more and more that different accounts are based differently. Some accounts get top level creatures from mazes, others get none. Some accounts get top level creatures from coupons, others get none. Some account get more of one faction. I mean seriously, I have gotten 11 mortii and 2 fae 5* creatures not from seals. I have completed around 500 mazes and have gotten zero 5* creatures and 4-5 4* creatures. Coupon wise however I've gotten 12 5* creatures and a plethora of 4* creatures. Gold chest which I've like opened close to 100 at this point, I have one 4* creature (matches the maze completion stats) You compare these stats to others and it is totally different. We aren't talking small sample size here. 500 maze battles. zero 5* creatures and four or five 4* creatures. That's statistically impossible to be an anomaly. Given the way my account works, can you imagine how well off I would be right now had I been doing the facebook coupons from the start. Been playing almost 4 months with the last month doing the facebook coupon thing. Doh

Minor update:
Started farming Oracle shards. 13/30 so far. Her Mass Heal and Sage Advice go really well with the purpose of my intented deck.
I have completed map 6 already at level 31... I'm amazed how good Royal Guard actually is. Not many people use him, thinking Dragon Rider is the better option. With Blessing, Human Aura and Ice Shell all my creatures are extremely hard to kill and every Dahlia on map 6 got handily disposed by Balthazar.
1956 gems currently and Rank 291 in Arena. My arena is getting better and I see some spenders at the top already. Looks like I have the power to go at least top 50 in the following days thanks to Guard, Balthazar, Ash Beast and Thalassa. That should get me around 3000 more gems for a total of 5000 gems I think. Seems like a good amount to try on Human boosters. I just hope IGG doesn't wait too long with next Human Boosters. And if I don't get at least one Balthazar, Archdeva or Mystic I'm still screwed as it will be extremely hard to get rank 1 otherwise.
mmm maybe maze 6 or coupons can get me more 5*. I hope so...

Dodge isn't an issue for me, my deck has enough Magic, Direct Damage and lockdowns to keep Dodge creatures under control until they die.

Minor Update: Lv 34 Royal Guard - Blessing 2 Human Aura 7 - Ice Shell 5 - Dusk Shield 2 lv 10 Balthazar lv 10 Thalassa lv 10 Ash Beast lv 5 Swordmaster lv 5 Royal Knight lv 5 Royal Knight lv 5 Flame Brave lv 10 Flame Mage Rank 96 in Arena and currently 3878 gems. Right now I'm just saving up gems to do the 5k alchemy. I'll have 6k gems by then and really hope I hit gold on the next Human Boosters. Goal is to get Mystic as there is no other way for me to get her. If I don't get her I better get 2 Balthazar or Balthazar + Archdeva for me to continue playing.
