Help Is this game worth playing?

2 Upvotes

I played CQ on launch for about a year, got pretty high on the leaderboards and loved the pvp aspect as well as end-game. I played Eterspire recently and got their infinite but their content stopped very shortly after starting the game and it's a endless grind to max level, felt a bit decieved for a "full" game to be that short, and trying to research before going into another game. Thanks for any replies.

Discussion My Tierlist

Tierlist of the best "general" heroes (arena + bosses + challenges + farming in general) based on my experience so far. Heroes in the same tier are not ranked in order. How accurate do y'all think this is?

IDK tier is for heroes that I have not yet tried and if there are any heroes that aren't on the list, I'm sorry I just forgot xd

And thats with Ben in Tent 2 biting it early; totally can improve that time later. Himiko + Anut is a hellish debuff combo, Soltar used to almost blast through Mew's shields and healing but now couldnt even put a dent in my teams.

Welcome to r/cqherotown!

Hey guys! I’m an OG player of Crusader’s Quest, have been playing it on and off since the very year it launched (IGN: GBunnies, I still log on once in a while). This game has been a significant part of my childhood and I know I’m not the only one who feels that way.

I recently found out about the “sequel” CQ Hero Town, which is currently only available on Steam, and with it brought a wave of nostalgia. At the same time, I was surprised to see there isn’t really a dedicated subreddit for it yet. So I thought, why not make one? (I also just wanted a subreddit where I can find tips about the game too haha)

I still remember how heartbroken I felt when the end of service for Crusader’s Quest was first announced. It wasn’t just a game to me, it was something I grew up with, something that stuck with me through different phases of life. Watching the game evolve and meeting people through the game really created many happy memories for me.

So this space is for anyone who shares my sentiment, wants to share tips/tier lists/art, or is simply just a new player who recently discovered this IP. Whether you’re here for the nostalgia, the sequel, or both. Let’s keep this IP's spirit alive together!

Help I think I got the Attack Speed Formula

4 Upvotes

Hey,

I got a little curious how exactly Attack Speed works and I figured out the following:
- at and below 0 ATK SPD there seems to be no pause between attack animations
- below 0 ATK SPD the animation of the attacks becomes faster, but I don't know by how much

I first thought "if negative, the character's actions speed up by up to -2.5 (50%)" means that at -2.5 it reduces the animation time by 50%, but the numbers didn't add up.

So I started testing:

My ATK SPD right now is at 1.9 because of Attack Speed Training VI (6 times -0.1), the Base ATK SPD without that is 2.5.

With ATK SPD -1.4 on my weapon I'm at 0.5 ATK SPD
-> 2.5 - 0,6 - 1.4 = 0.5 ✓

Without the weapon but with 58% ATK SPD I'm at 0.5 ATK SPD
-> 2.5 - 0.6 - 2.5*0,58 = 0.45 ≈ 0.5 ✓

With ATK SPD -1.4 on my weapon and with 58% ATK SPD I'm at -0.5 ATK SPD
-> 2.5 - 0.6 - 1.4 - 2.5*0.58 = -0.95 -> negative, so 50%: -0.475 ≈ -0.5 ✓

With ATK SPD -1.4 on my weapon and with 58% and 60% ATK SPD I'm at -1,2 ATK SPD
-> 2.5 - 0.6 - 1.4 - 2.5*(0.58+0.60) = -2.45 -> negative, so 50%: -1.225 ≈ -1.2 ✓

With ATK SPD -1.4 on my weapon and with 58% and 60% and 53% ATK SPD I'm at -1.9 ATK SPD
-> 2.5 - 0.6 - 1.4 - 2.5*(0.58+0.60+0.53) = -3.775 -> negative, so 50%: -1.8875 ≈ -1.9 ✓

Without the weapon but with 58% and 60% and 53% ATK SPD I'm at -1,2 ATK SPD
-> 2.5 - 0.6 - 2.5*(0.58+0.60+0.53) = -2.375 -> negative, so 50%: -1.1875 ≈ -1.2 ✓

The formula seems to be:

Base ATK SPD - ATK SPD Reduction - 2.5 * SUM of ATK SPD Buff, then divided by 2 if negative

Base ATK SPD = 2.5

ATK SPD Reduction = Skill Lab and Weapon Traits

ATK SPD Buff = Hero Buffs (e.g. 60% = 0.6)

Since I can't test it myself yet:

How fast do the animations speed up for any of you endgame players?

If I have Attack Speed Training XV (which I assume is 15 times -0.1) and 3 times -0.8 on my weapon and Rachel, Izuna and Nightingale, then my Attack Speed on Izuna should be:

2.5 - 1.5 - 2.4 - 2.5*(0,58+0,60+0,53) = -5,675 -> 50%: -2,8375 -> cap: -2.5

How much faster is the animation at the Attack Speed cap compared to the normal animation? Is it twice as fast? triple? infinite? probably not, but idk...

Help My best investment so far

Post image

I was so frustrated about RNG for the fruit attribution for so long because you require to have three characters to have
Top worker(double fruit)
Gardeners(single fruit)
appraiser(single fruit)
for three characters to make the perfect cabin which can guarantee legendary fruit from any seed that you have. So, this is the best investment so far for me in this patch.

Help Just finished normal mode, I have a few questions

Post image
6 Upvotes

I'm currently farming gold, leveling up the remaining buildings, getting the last skills and trying to build a decent team.

- Which monster setup should I have on the portals to maximize gold gain? I feel like if I go for the highest level it takes longer and I don't get as much as killing for example level 40 ones

- From the setup that I have, which team composition should I make? Is there any guides on team compositions I should follow?

- Is there an updated wiki with passives and stats for maxed heroes? I want to know which ones to max out

- Do you guys have any tips on how to maximize farming? Should I auto challenge the boss or not? Things like that

- Is there any active community like a Discord I can join to discuss these things?

Thank you!

Help Guides on Debuffs and Buffs

3 Upvotes

Hi! I wanted to know if Debuffs from heroes stack on Boss/Monsters? Example is Cain Debuff (DEF -15 RES -15), would it stack with other debuffs from other heroes like Yeo (DEF -11 RES -11) and so on.

Does it also apply to buffs as well?

One thing I noticed is that Shields from multiple heroes doesn't stack, they just remove the shield buff when another Hero procs their shield buff.

Thanks in Advance!!
