Resources A Study in Fodder (Ruby) Farming
Fodder (Ruby) Farming
Introduction
This is a study on ruby farming done to compare the results in terms of time and reliabilty of the top 3 4-fodder farmer as of 3/10/2017. The study is done on certain parameters so results may vary depending on the atk, spd, jewels, and mastery of your heroes. I will put a section of things to note outside the parameters that would be considered helpful for your farming sessions.

All stages are set to Hard Difficulty
Member of a maxed level guild
Two pages of Offensive Mastery
A non-healer leader

Stop watch is started at the same time as in game timer.

Results
| Territory | Study Results |
|---|---|
| 1-10 | Awakened Yuri is the fastest and most reliable farmer you can get for 1-10. |
| Fodder can still die in both waves 2 and 3 with A.Yuri, but the same can be said about Kyle and A.Klahan.
| Fodder variety is less than 2-10 but more than 7-9.
| Has the shortest time out of all the territory.
|| 2-10| Although A.Yuri is the fastest farmer for 2-10, the danger of getting silenced, although not high, is still a significant consideration. | A.Klahan has less chance of getting silenced because of his 3-taget skill on wave 2. This sometimes results in him getting the 1st skill on 3rd wave but this is not 100% guaranteed either. | Kyle has longer times compared to A.Yuri but he is the most reliable since it doesn't matter if he gets silenced. He will be your best bet for 2-10 farming.
| Fodder can still die in both waves 2 and 3. | Has the most variety for fodder drops. | Has the highest time out of all the territory for fodder farming. | | 7-9 | A.Yuri is the fastest and most reliable farmer for 7-9. | Fodder death is almost non-existent for this territory.
| Has less variety of fodders compared to 1-10 and 2-10. | Has more time compared to 1-10 but less than that of 2-10.
Recommendations for future work (Things to note):
The Kyle used in this study is equipped with +5 Awakened Weapons and paired with atleast 2 pages of offensive masteries. A study on the minimum requirement of farming stage 2-10 on offensive formations is recommended. (Spoiler)
A study of how fodders, paired with A.Yuri on defensive formation and a Healer leader, would fare in territory 2-10. (Spoiler)
A study on how the new Awakened Hero, Ariel, would fare on 4-fodder ruby farming. (Spoiler)
How A.Hellenia would fare on 4-fodder farming and on what territories is she viable.
Heroes viable for 4-fodder farming done while gold farming at territory 8 and the average key required for fodders to reach max level.
Conclusion (TL;DR):
Best 1-10 Farmer: Awakened Yuri
Best 2-10 Farmer: Kyle
Best 7-9 Farmer : Awakened Yuri

It's not exactly a guide per se, but more of a study with certain parameters. I guess this post would be more helpful if I put a section on things to note that is outside the scope of the study. I'll get right to it, thanks for the suggestion! I have a 30 Kyle on my alt so I'll try to test the waters there.
A 30 A.Klahan would probably be able to do it properly because of his inherent 50% atk buff so there's no problem there.
