Mini Warriors Saladin and Achilles

There is much speculation about these two heroes, but from what I have heard, Saladin's skill will have something to do with lowering attack, but I have no info on Achilles.

Happy 2nd Anniversary, Mini Warriors

Mini Warriors has officially been out for two years. It's a festive time, and I wish everyone the best of luck with their hero-getting from all the free crystals during this period. :D

A Slight Change

Yesterday I mentioned that I would start a membership kinda thing on this blog. Unfortunately it did not 100% work out right so I have decided to change it slightly. You can unfollow my blog if you wish, but the hidden pages and rally help services (membership) will be offered though email instead as of today. To become a member, simply send me a request via email. You can renounce your member title at any time via email request. Members will get a newsletter about the latest changes, as well as the link to any hidden info pages that you may want to see.

Please note: if you were a follower before, you will still need to send a request for this new system. Sorry :/.

Sarky Failing

Explanation:

Sarky got killed early. Azod missed a lot of triggers, and Galahad and William were the last two heroes. Circe cloned an enemy Sarky and that Sarky destroyed at least 3 enemy squads. Hmm.... :D

All About Those Combos

Combinations of heroes are what gives a player the win in a battle.
EXAMPLES:

Philinus + Reinhard
El Cid + Carter
El Cid + Alash
Hyacinth + Octavius
Hyacinth + Sarah + Octavius
Edward + Belthor
GDR + Sarky
Nicolai + Robinhood + Elizabeth

Something Coming Soon!

I am currently working on a detailed strengths and weaknesses guide for each hero. This will be released soon! Please note: only members of my blog will be able to access this guide.

Also, in the future, blog followers will get extra benefits. I have not 100% worked out these benefits, but I do know it will involve access to extra pages.

Reinhard's Redemption

I used Reinhard with Philinus, and the result was amazing. Merlin wasted two lightnings on Reinhard without dealing damage, and Reinhard outlived William and GDR in the battle. Reinhard has redeemed himself.

BTW, stupid image uploading is broken, so I haven't been getting many images these days.

Cedric Get!

Got Cedric.

Time to put him to the test!

Some Heroes Shouldn't Be Healing

For some reason, my William and Shazzo are healing on themselves. Hmmm.. I wonder why? I'll get a screenshot up soon! Stay tuned!

Hero of the Day #45-Manto

8.9 for being just as good and Sarah and Philinus.

For Better or For Worse

1.8 is an update of many changes. I wonder, is it more things that are better in this game, or is it composed of more degrading things? Everyone has their own opinions.

Hero of the Day #44-Summers

Summers isn't a bad infantry. But he isn't the best either. 8.7 seems fair to me.

Hero of the Day #43-Terim

A robotic engineer with flaming dragons that massacre. Cool. Only problem is that these dragons can be killed.

:/

8.7 for the dragoneer.

Hero Degrade

Just like some heroes are buffed pretty high in 1.8, others are no longer as good as they used to be. Nicolai maintains a decent amount of power, but others like Shazzo, Lancelot, and Galahad have dropped in power in comparison to other heroes. 1.8 also decreased the effectivity of Sarah, because it means she will target her heals to the heroes in front of her and not all over your rally. However, this may work well with some other strategies...

Musket Strats

Edward and Mary Read have very similar abilities and their stats seem to compliment each other. Using a Mary Read to slow down a mob of enemies, a Edward to stun them, a Belthor on the side to polymorph them, and finish it all with either a Sarky firebomb or a couple of Edward crits. Musket Strats!

#musketeerstratswinthegame

Hero of the Day #42-Mary Read

Almost like Edward. I wonder if you could pull off some Edward-MaryRead-Sarky combos.

9.2 for now....

May raise of lower once she is released.

Infantry Dilemma

There are now seven infantry heroes with the 1.8 update, and one more coming later! I'm going to be eliminating them one by one until I get to the best one.

William
Reinhard
Helmar
Joan
Octavius
Summers
Ragnar

Personally, Helmar is completely worthless.

William
Reinhard
Helmar
Joan
Octavius
Summers
Ragnar

Ragnar isn't that good either, being and attack and HP buff to himself.

William
Reinhard
Joan
Octavius
Summers
Ragnar

Joan's ability can't do much when facing an enemy Shazzo, and her defense is too low for most tastes.

William
Reinhard
Joan
Octavius
Summers

Although he was buffed in 1.8, Reinhard doesn't work well by himself, unlike the other heroes here. Solo working can be an important aspect of an infantry hero.

William
Reinhard
Octavius
Summers

Then, Summers personally is not as good as William or Octavius.

William
Octavius
Summers

In the end, I feel Octavius has just a tiny bit of an edge over William, which gives him the win.

William
Octavius

Octavius wins!

Hero of the Day #41-Ragnar

Barbarbarbarbarbarians FTW!

Ragnar > Helmar

Healer Dillema

Sarah heals troops outright for a good chunk of HP. Philinus ensures your heroes are not killed. Manto's skill has better healing than Sarah but unfortunately is locked to one place, being most effective at times in the beginning of the battle, where all the troops everywhere are locked in direct combat. What's your opinion? Post in the comments below!

Hero of the Day #40-Jerome

Jerome is a resurrecter. 100% cool, especially after Hilda was debuffed.

9.2 definitely!

Hero of the Day #39-Cedric

Healing tank squad? Seems good to me!

Soo... I'm going to put a 9.0 for a good needed tank!

The Realm of Atlas

Wow, looks like Trinity really did a good job with making this new map!

Hero of the Day to Return Tomorrow!

The title explained it all.

Hero Massacre

Kelly's skill can now have a maximum of 25% trigger rate, this being the same for the four 3-star arbalists. Since Kelly's skill will trigger about 3-4 times in the average 1:30 battle, assuming you used all five arbalists together, then:

Five arbalists = 15-20 heroes killed with skill triggers throughout battle.

Combined with Philinus and Reinhard to soak damage, this could be a rise of crappy heroes!

Reinhard Improved

Reinhard was one of the worst heroes to ever be known in this game. Nowadays, however, he has grown significantly in power, assuming you use a Philinus to continuously heal him, he could become a major damage soak.

Rekt

Completely rekt a guy with Merlin two levels ahead of me. How? GDR for the win!

A basic playthrough of the battle (since the pictures I got somehow went corrupt):

1-Enemy Merlin decimates my top frontline, and Eugene's squadron is killed by a mix of lightning and a stunbomb rom an enemy Edward. Enemy Hyacinth does not go where he was probably intended (healing his Octavius) but instead runs up top.
2-My Lancelot and Galahad somehow kill his Alash on the bottom, leading to a leak in his frontline.
3-My Shazzo and Joan combination wipe out his mages in the bottom half, although this took a bit, because of his Sarah and Philinus.
4-My William kills his Octavius and moves on to destroy his Nicolai. After this point, all my troops from the bottom half move upward to attack the other half of the enemy army.
5-Enemy Merlin has destroyed my Carter in the top half, and the enemy begins leaking through, albeit being temporarily held at bay when his pikemen were killed by my Sarky and Azod.
6-My GDR begins an attack on the enemy Merlin, just as my Ignatius finishes off the last of his cavalry. (somehow his Hyacinth survived until this point)
7-Enemy Merlin makes a fatal mistake, shooting his lightning bolts at my GDR.
8-GDR is killed, and this squad is obliterated into dust. But, enemy Merlin is killed by the rebounding damage.
9-Ignatius and William clean up all of the remaining enemies.
10-Success!

Could not have done that without GDR, because Merlin could easily have taken out my Ignatius and William, thus preventing them from finishing the game.

Soak and Destroy

As the skill level cap has been increased, I wonder if that could make for some new strategies...

Per se, if you had a Reinhard, and a Sarky and Philinus behind him, assuming Philinus' AI really has changed and he heals the nearest hero in need of healing, wouldn't this be a good way to decimate dangerous enemies such as Ignatius?

Step 1: Reinhard triggers skill, soaks damage from enemy.
Step 2: Reinhard starts taking tons of damage, nearly dead.
Step 3: Philinus helas Reinhard up, and Reinhard's skill triggers again.
Step 4: Enemy pikemen are distracted by Reinhard and get destroyed by Sarky.
Step 5: Repeat.

Also, currently testing out ideas for Eugene.

The Luck in this Game

After 1.8 I have noticed a sudden outbreak of people feeling angry or frustrated that they cannot advance in this game after a certain point because of certain circumstances. Well, this post is dedicated to everyone with problems like these.

NEVER GIVE UP!

Even if everything seems dark, even if all seems lost, DON'T GIVE UP! Someday you will be able to advance, and someday you will get that hero you've wanted for a long time. (believe me, i'm one of these cases)

Guilds

After half a year of player guilds in this game, finally guilds are going to be added in this game. By ~September 2015 a guild feature will be released, allowed guild co-op by the end of November. Hmm... this is REALLY inteeresting!

Try 'Till You Succeed

Perseverance is key in this game.

This guy challenged me so many times before he finally defeated me.

His successful rally:

Not sure how I lost though..... Maybe he has epic skills? I am suspicious about dat Nicolai. If only this thing let you see skill levels.

Also, not sure if this is true, but I hear tons of Koreans cashload on this game. Just something I hear going around the forums.

Musket Tricks

Musketeers have the supreme technology in this game. Which, obviously, makes them harder to defeat. Hmm... Anyone got any ideas?

Dealing with Archers

Archers (3-star) are very easy to deal with if you know how. Often a good cavalry charge will fail to take them down, as all enemies tend to hone in towards backline charged cavalry. as a result, cavlary die quickly. GDR is a very good way to repel AoE, but with lots of enemy archers GDR alone can't do it. So, how do you repel enemy 3-star archers? The trick is to kill them before they can kill you. Merlin is the best hero I can think of for this job, as his widespread damage will often take out enemy archers quickly. using archers yourself may not be a good idea, because you need to take out the enemy tanks before your archers start attacking enemy archers. Sarky can definitely oblieterate any AoE squad, and maybe it isn't a bad idea to try archers in the frontline (since units will try to fight units similar to themselves, thus enemy infantry and pavisers won't go for the archers). Musketeers, however, get a bit more complicated....

Saladin and Achilles

Saladin I believe is infantry. Dangit we already have enough of those! Achilles is a pikeman, which we are definitely not in need of. TRINITY! WHERE ARE OUR TANKS!

#needmoretanks

Game Update 1.8 YES!

Woot hoot!

More Heroes?!

Wow. Trinity has just released two more four-stars, and Kindle hasn't even updated to 1.8.

Reaction:

Achilles and Saladin. Cool. A Greek myth fighter and a Muslim king.

The Wait

Still 1.8 does not come... sigh... I wish I was on JO'S sometimes.

Dealing with Sheep

Often one might meet an enemy with polymorph mages. Sometimes healers glitch and end up like polymorph mages.  So... Because of this deadly overpowered skill (in large numbers), there must be a good way to counter it, right?

Wrong. Best way I can think of is to use massive AoE to kill the low def mages.

Rally-July 5 2015

 Update of my rally. Pretty good army power compared with other people (is it my four-stars?).

Level 64 below. I DESTROYED him.

Happy Independence Day (US)

Happy Independence day everyone!

Scrolltrolllolololol

Scroll trolls. Farmed 15times, got no scrolls. Scrolltrollololololol!!!!

Mini Warriors Tournament

I put in all 44 heroes and had a tournament to see which one would win (in my opinion). Well, here is what it looked like:

-Remember this is my opinion, you may have a different idea about what should happen at certain points.

Why 3-Stars

Often one might see three-stars in an enemy rally.

So the question is, why would people use these three-stars?

Well, for starters, the lower army power might cause you to face weaker enemies.

And with weaker enemies, you potentially have a higher chance of winning.

Firstly, three-star arbalists are actually pretty decent tanks.
Then, three-star archers work REALLY well with Edward IV (powerful procs + good proc rate = DECIMATION!)
Three-star musketeers can deal approximately 80% of the AoE damage Sarky does, being miniature Sarky's essentially.
Polymorphing is really annoying in large amounts (renders armies inactive and unable to do anything), leading to quick enemy destruction (especially when teamed up with musketeers).
Healing with the three-stars is decent, but only with heroes that don't rely upon their minions.

Found a Heal Necklace

This is a very interesting necklace. Once I get it, I'll put it on a hero that doesn't rely on his minions.

William is my first thought, but I'm considering others...
Perhaps El Cid, as then he would survive longer to buff up my defenses.

Definitely not Ignatius or that type of hero where they rely a lot on their minions (like Alash or Octavius).

Hmm... need to consider this more in-depth.

Almost There!

So close... must farm gold....

Image Malfunctions...

Sorry, couldn't get an image working yesterday, so I missed the daily hero. I can't seem to get this other player's image to work, so I'm going to have to wait until I get the new update to continue the series :/
