The simplest way I found to complete the Golden Cloud Castle without using a borrowed bird is with Paladin, Rainbird and Piggy McCool. Just have Paladin set devotion on whoever gets targeted by the Mother of Golden Pigs. Then wake up Paladin using Rainbird. Give Chilli to Paladin when it becomes available. No chilli cakes, no potions.

If Paladin casts Devotion on the other birds, then all attacks directed at them will go to Paladin. It doesn’t matter that the Pirate Veteran is immune to buffs. The buff is applied to the birds, not the Pirate Veteran.

I usually stick with Bard in the caves. She does good damage and with Paladin there is enough healing. I find…[Read more]

@smwforever45 Just so you and others are aware, Pigiana Jones is a good ally to bring against the Veteran Pirate boss (cave 8-10). The veteran pirate cannot counter an attack if that attack was itself caused by a counterattack. Confused?

For example, if Pigiana Jones casts counter on Paladin, and the Veteran Pirate attacks Paladin. The Paladin…[Read more]

The Vengful emblem does not damage the banner. It hasn’t for a long time.
The damage done is as described in KK’s list. 20% of the exploding birds health.

The easiest way to see this is to visit Piggy McCool’s team. His bird team has the Vengeful emblem. If you do see this emblem causing damage to the banner, your game is probably…[Read more]

The other aspect of dealing with Lawrence using the Knight & Princess combo is that you will need both to have mastery ranks of around 5, so that Princess can heal enough. When I first completed this boss, I think I had an offhand item that reduced damage on red. It might have been the Steel Wall set item.

I get exactly what grimmjow gets. I think a lot of us have exact the same bug. We can’t see the proper information for the Elite Knight.

It may depend on OS. I am running on iOS.

@grimmjow
The second value is the extra bonuses from mastery rank, offhand items and weapon sets.

The multiplier for mastery is (mastery level – 1). So if the class is rank 12, then the multiplier is 11.
You multiply the base + weapon value by the mastery rank multiplier to get the second value.
The second value also includes offhand items, so…[Read more]

Everyone seems to have short memories or are used to playing with Facebook friends.

Of course Knight is useless in practically every battle. Especially in the arena. But When first going through the caves, you need Knight (and Princess) to get past the cave boss Lawrence. And the second Lawrence cave boss you meet later. Perhaps this was not an…[Read more]

@grimmjow The information is somewhere among the threads. This was worked out a long time ago, by dr_ismael among others. But escapes me for the moment.

If you go to Red’s page on the nest, and press the small sword icon next to whatever class is showing, it will show you some information. I think there is a basic attack value (93 For level 50),…[Read more]

@datguygamer I did say that I don’t use my lvl 50 team in the arena. When the arena started, my birds did not have a high enough mastery level and I was missing a lot of the set items. The first couple seasons were difficult at the high levels. There was lots of competition and there were so many cheaters.

My son just happened to have a newish…[Read more]

I have 2 EPIC games going. I don’t use my lvl 50 game in the arena. Just play the events and very slowly increasing mastery.

For my lvl 24 game, which I use in the arena, the mastery ranks for all my birds is 9, except for Rogues, which is mastery rank 10 (don’t know why he got ahead). I basically pay for upgrades at the Dojo from my arena…[Read more]

I don’t know how relevant this is for those of you playing at level 50.

I play in the arena with my level 24 team, with birds now at mastery level of 9. I would have thought the natural counter to the Valiant banner set is the venomous team (Rainbird with Reborn set, Rogues with Save me set, Druid with Sweet or Nightmare set) – equipped with…[Read more]

@laxietoo It has been like that for ages. I don’t know which is correct. On my second game (for my low level arena team) I always try for position 7.

@mvnla2 The medal rewards wheel is different for the 3, 5 and 7 stamina battles. For the 7 stamina battle, there are 2 positions with 450 points, and the other values are higher. Since I don’t…[Read more]

The leader on my board has got 98,000 points, and I am sitting in second on 90,000 points. There were 4 of us fighting it out for the top 3 positions, but 2 have fallen behind.

I have a ton of stamina drinks, but little FE. I have been pushing the leader and do wonder whether this person was burning stamina drinks and FE – or whether they had a…[Read more]

@poptimus My set items and set banner items are all close to the best I can get at my level – everything that I use will be at levels 21-23 and the banner stuff is all diamond level. So the team is strong in the arena.
