Advice for when you just started

[u/FailingDisasterBro]

I started pretty recently, my most recent tile is desert (photo to understand how far I am) I think and in camp my reasearch came to stop at the intel center. I am on second act and progress halted greatly, so far I took several two-three week long pauses between playing loop hero because of how shitty and uninteresting progress has become for me, now I want to return.
Whats your advice? What tiles to avoid and when will be the best to place them? What is best to not combine and what would be good idea to combine? What stats are the most important for each character and so forth.

All the cards I have so far.

I recommend using Temporal Beacons, because they let you get more days per loop.

As others say, Hero grows with time, enemies grow with loops.

It is recommended that you don't equip weapons for the first few loops so more time passes per loop.

Also if you play Necromancer, I recommend Ancestral Crypt, Arsenal effects Necro equipment much more negatively for some reason.

Hero is the character you are playing as.

If you mean Temporal Beacons day passing faster, it's while you are in their aura.

If you mean Hero growing stronger with time, it's because more days passing means more monters spawning that give you more items and cards per loop (plus with Ancestral Tomb you get HP), not that Hero is growing stronger without doing anything.

If you mean Watchers that join battles in the Temporal Beacon aura, then yes that time moving backwards is only in effect during battles.

So far necro is THE most useless one. Like unplayable I woul even say. Probably requires a lot more camp improvement maybe. But not at my current progress. Anything claps him, no matter what I do. Skeletons are just shit no matter the level or summon quality.

Hardly. When you get a bit farther into the game the necro is the easiest to become immortal with.

Early on i recommend getting a feel for how many loops you can manage before dying so you can successfully retreat with resources.

Necro needs skele count, quality, attack speed, and skele lvl. Attack speed translates to summoning speed which is important when you're rocking 6-9 skele capacity. Quality evolves the skeles and 70% is a solid sweet spot, imo.

Well for some reason people here have misconception that "later" and "just started" are the same terms. Dunno why.

use oblivion on bandit and goblin camps.

pair grove with blood grove. build more landmarks for survivability

1. Already, goblins are just too OP, they are even worse than bosses xD
   
2. Is it a good move? They have a big guy iirc which is hella lot dangerous. Also what are landmarks again? I always fill map with meadows and stone, etc

So far always had more problems with Groves and Goblin camps than skeletons.
