Their bonuses will do wonders for your team’s overall DPS (damage per second), so you should definitely be leveraging what they have to offer.įor an early-game triangle formation, you can have the Hermit in front (and benefiting from additional DPS because there’s no one in front of him), the Princess and Sasha in the middle row, and Jim the Lumberjack and Artaxes the Lion among your back-row characters. One important thing to keep in mind early in the game is to make the most out of the bonuses provided by your early heroes – these include the Hermit, the Princess, Jim the Lumberjack, and Sasha the Warrior, who are also among the best heroes in the game overall. But what about specific characters in relation to the game? 2. It has two characters in the front row, three characters in the middle row, and four characters in the back row, and when it comes to choosing which heroes go where, a lot of the old rules apply. No, we’re not talking about the basketball offense here, but rather the most common formation in Crusaders of the Lost Idols. So what can you do if you want to get better in this game and progress faster? As it turns out, it all boils down to your choice of heroes and formation, which we shall be talking about in this Crusaders of the Lost Idols strategy guide, which focuses on the popular triangle formation.
While clicker RPGs tend to be simpler than traditional RPGs, this game has a higher learning curve than most clicker RPGs, even with the presence of those old standby rules and mechanics. And it wouldn’t be an RPG if you didn’t have the ability to collect gear and buffs each of the 30-plus characters have hundreds of unique upgrades, thanks to the game’s cornucopia of content. There are over ten thousand levels in the game (yes, seriously), and a chance for you to master over six campaigns with various objectives per campaign. Aside from recruiting heroes, leveling them up, and unlocking new abilities, you’ll also have to come up with the perfect formation to maximize the damage you can deal out. Spread the tags to where they can get propagated around to maximize the ability's coverage and then have characters in the formation with buffs that scale up based on the number of whichever specific tag.Ready to form a team of unusual heroes to fight monsters, earn gold, and collect loot? If you are, then you’re ready to play Crusaders of the Lost Idols, a new clicker RPG from Kongregate that comes rich with heroic awesomeness. I haven't been making use of tag-spreading (Evanescent / Odile) myself but that seems to be a popular choice among the number crunching optimization experts. (Pools boost the global DPS buffs of whichever characters are in them.)
Jialong has some randomness to him with the placement of the pools from his River Guardian ability, but it is possible to propagate the pools and cover more spaces with them. I don't usually follow along with what's being tested and proven to be the best of the best out there, but I think Jialong is still the pick for top DPS? But don't let that stop you from experimenting with whichever DPS character you'd like to build a formation around. Of course this point is irrelevant if you're working with a formation that's shaped in a way that Tiernan's propagation isn't useful and you have to consider using Mycall for propagation instead. But between Tiernan and Mindy copying Tiernan, this buff can prove to be HUGE. This means that a character from Gold Panda's seat needs to be part of the formation so that you can use Gold-O-Rama. Personally I find this buff really really REALLY annoying to rely on, but a key component of dealing with Tiernan is his Lost Souls ability, which translates your gold find into a global DPS boost while the Gold-O-Rama ability is active. Of course that means that the trick becomes about placing the DPS character in a spot where they don't receive the buffs directly from the original characters and instead only receive buffs as indirectly as possible. You get buffs from them applied at a stronger rate than the original buffs that they're copying or passing along, and this applies when chaining abilities between each other as well.
Especially if you can get the item that they each have to boost their key ability to golden legendary. Don't underestimate the power of Mindy copying abilities or the power of Tiernan / Mycall and Langley propagating abilities.
