If you don't feel like watching the video, the loadouts are as follows: I followed Ryuji Raisonneur's Rune guide and it's worked fantastically for me. I wasted a lot of crystals by upgrading armor, attack and hp runes that I wish I could have back. I would find a rune loadout that you like for your three heroes and only upgrade those runes. If you're on a level with lots of flyers, place golden archer towers exclusively with one or two blue buff archer towers: these boost the attack range and critical chance of your all other towers. Unless a hell difficulty level forbids it or you have a bunch of flying enemies, just place a ton of these guys, give them one smash attack upgrade and all three slowing upgrades, and you'll be set. Once you have your heroes and mine upgraded, gems will mostly be an afterthought. Obviously you should use ads to double the amount you receive. These will be super important for upgrading your heroes' runes. Then upgrade your crystal mine to the point where you're making 60 to 70 crystals every ten hours. Arryn isn't bad and can get you pretty far, but once you hit the Grando Empire levels, she'll be getting killed almost instantly even if you have her playing safe away from the enemy. I would grab Aarendel or Miria first(yes, they're worth the grind), as Jave isn't terrible and can tank you through a lot of the game but Aarendel and Miria's ranged attacks are much more effective than Arryn's. The best f2p players use Leon, Miria, and Aarendel. You're obviously going to want to buy the heroes that you'll be using in the endgame first. I've been playing this for two months, gone through multiple heroes, multiple playstyles, beaten all levels on Hell difficulty, and haven't spent one cent.ġst - How to spend your gems(blue) and crystals(purple):
