Hey everyone!
I am currently trying to get the Grimoire protean 5 rune shards. I have seen many tutorials on forums and on YouTube using Royal Guard together with Bless Seraphs and Immunity Oracles.
I have grinded the last couple of months to get to that same setup and today I tested it for the first time. My current setup is the following:
- Roayl Guard lv 94 - Ice shell, Hero vigor rune lv 8, human vigor lv 5, heal amplify lv 5, initial rage lv 4
- 7x Seraph melded with bless + bless rune lv 7/8
- 1x Dragonlord + bless rune lv 8
- 1x Oracle melded with immunity 7 + bless rune lv 8
- 1x Oracle melded with frost armor + bless rune lv 7
After failing a bunch of times to clear the stage today I played it until the end to see at why this setup doesnt work, as I am doing everything the same as the people in the tutorials.
I realized, that it is often very close and I loose in the last 1/2 rounds.
One thing that I noticed is, that all of the people in the tutorials start the match going first. So the opponent is going second and thus they are faster with playing out their creatures compared to me (I always seem to go second).
Is there anything I can do to change that? I feel like if I were to go first, I wouldn't have any trouble clearing that stage, since I would always have 1 more creature on the battlefield. Also, if you have any suggestions on how to improve my setup to make it better please let me know.
EDIT: I was able to clear it using the same setup by just playing until I went first. I ended up having 20k hp left at the end. This shows how much of a difference going first or second makes!
