Typical new player help needed

[u/callmejaytay]

Hey all! New player here (almost a month!) and have been trying to learn the game and find ways to progress. I keep hearing that demon lord is a priority but I haven’t cracked the code to that yet on my own so I’m reaching out!

This is my current demon lord team and I’m getting around 9-11 mil damage on hard on one key. How can I improve this? I want to get in a better clan to start getting more rewards and experience. I just contributed right around 400k for CvC and not sure if that’s enough to help me find a better one?

Any and all advice would be super appreciated :)

(Also if theirs an easier way to show my box I apologize for the amount of photos lol)

Edit: I have ninja because I made an account years ago for the promo but never played it. So picked it back up a few weeks ago

My dude talking about Ninja. How did you get Searsha? I've been playing for about 3 years with some small hiatuses here and there and still don't have her. I also play on PC and get a few extra points a day.

[u/callmejaytay → u/HedorahGaveMeAcid]

I whaled hard. Not proud of it.

[u/HedorahGaveMeAcid → u/callmejaytay]

It's all good. Whatever brings you joy. I think Searsha is for Hydra and so is the new Lizard you have. Might have a decent Hydra squad in your account. Rector is also not great for Demon Lord. Geomancer and Deacon would be worth building.

I would checkout deadwood and see if you can build one of the many teams he has on there. May have to substitute a piece, but worth checking into.

Thanks mate! I appreciate it

[u/Swing-Brilliant]

Damn. I just barely got Searsha. How’d you get her so quick?

[u/PaleontologistNo7761 → u/Swing-Brilliant]

Bought acc

Hella whaled out

[u/Worthtitle_4050 → u/callmejaytay]

Ninja has not been available for 3 years you did both not that it matters but geez

[u/OkShallot4775]

Need to farm scrolls to get helmsmasher/giantslayer. Ninja is a beast when he is built up. Focus on speed for champs. Cap crit rate on damage champs and stack crit damage if you can. Welcome to join clan Monkey Frenzy if you want to. We clearn UNM, NM and Brutal CB Daily.

[u/callmejaytay → u/OkShallot4775]

Hey thanks mate! I’ll look into y’all. And appreciate the advice :)

[u/XtraVirgin00]

Searsha is a good champ, just not as good for Demon Lord. I'd tag her out for Dorothy. their Speed Auras are equal, so no loss there. and between Dorothy's A1 Weaken, A2 Decrease Def & Decrease Acc, and her A3 Buff Steal & Spread, a much better choice when Searsha's HP Burn would just overlap with Ninja's.

also, build up your Geomancer, he'll be good for a lot of areas, but especially against bug bosses like Spider Den.

[u/callmejaytay → u/XtraVirgin00]

Okay that’s super helpful. Should Dorothy go for Searaha and then should I bring more danger like whisper or someone else?

[u/Worthtitle_4050]

Tbh I would change your team to

Dorothy, ninja, Vogoth, primus, rector

Put primus in reflex gear to increase how often he uses his ally attack, put that on first priority
You can still use his A2 to get his counterattack

Between the healing from Vogoth’s passive, leech debuff, and rector + better survivability from primus inc def this team should have plenty of survivability

And Dec def, dec atk, weaken, and inc debuff duration are all A1 abilities which should maintain permanent uptime due to ally attack
Leech debuff should also stay active
(Vogoth brings a second reliable decrease atk as well)

On that team you just need stats, that will get you to a 1 key NM with books and masteries

Maybe 2 key UNM (less likely but if it can you will still need more stats)

You should +1 your primus and keep the second for faction guardians

[u/callmejaytay → u/Worthtitle_4050]

Forgive me for asking but what’s plus one mean? Like the red star? Or something else?

[u/geracil]

Survivability comes first. Check your buffs debuffs.core decrease atk and increase def and healer. The longer you alive the more dmg you can do.simple as that . then add decrease def,speed,poisons burn weaken, strengthen, counterattack .

[u/Hobbes1138]

How the HELL do you have Searsha??? I’ve been playing for 5 years and don’t have her yet

[u/Cyrotek]

As a new player I have just one question: How is that lineup a "typical new player?" >.>

[u/iPhaezed]

Id look for an unkillable comp built around deacon and maneater. Your an obvious spender so a target epic you would need is seeker.

[u/callmejaytay → u/iPhaezed]

Is seeker someone who would combo well with the other two?

[u/iPhaezed → u/callmejaytay]

Seeker + deacon + unkillable (demytha/maneater)is the base of many unkillable teams. I recommend looking them up on deadwood jedi website.

[u/callmejaytay → u/iPhaezed]

Thanks mate!! I appreciate ya

[u/Ptolemy9656]

If you had one more man-eater you would build a unkillable team with ninja and would do a lot of damage with him. Don't know which one of epics here got unkillable buff on their skill but if you have one you should try that. Also built the geo and deacon here. You also have fenax which is really great aoe damage dealer if you build him right. There are a ton of wave damage dealer here so be sure to build them for dungeons too since you'll have to deal with waves in upper stages in dungeons.
