I cannot advance anymore

[AndyCatzo]

Hello, I've been playing for a month now and I already created night city in normal but now I tried with the hard difficulty and I'm struggling to beat the levels. This is also happening with all the dungeons :( I can only beat the normal difficulty and in some of them I can beat hard but with a lot of problems. For example in the crimson blades I cannot beat the first wave in madness difficulty and same thing happens to me with the infernal frontier dungeon (I bought a key and I feel like it was a waste xD).
My trooper name is Andres-5708 In case that you want to take a look and add me as a trooper

I'm going to check out your characters tonight and post something that may help. Also, read the I'm stuck post.

Hi Andy,

I had a look at your roster and first of all, you need to evolve your talis. Playing night city or other higher difficulty dungeons without having max talis is nearly impossible. Secondly, it’s necessary to stick talis sets together. Most of your chars have only one set consisting of three talis. The other slots are filled with three different colors. So they can’t work together properly.
After playing just one month - as a beginner - I hadn’t such toons and eddies that you have and I struggled completing the other cosmos worlds especially the skulls achievements.
So you’re doing quite well for a noobie ^^.
Keep on going and ... farming/grinding to get better due to time.

Yeah, I kinda knew that I was doing something wrong with my talis because anything was working, I was trying to make combinations and wired things because I was desperate but now after taking a look to the forums I saw that talis are the main thing.
And I was lucky, when I started to play the Cosmo cup event was on I got that football Eddie (Brazil) and with the Halloween event I got two of the werewolf's :)
I've been farming LoL X (sentinel) because that one is easy for me, for all other classes I can only farm LoL vii and now I was able to complete the event achievements for crimson blades (complete it 800 times) but in normal and I got Musashi and the witch :)

Work on a core team that has a complete strategy, based on their skills.

My first good core team’s defense strategy was having two Sentinels with high HP, both of whom can Revive. If at least one of them survived, I could bring my team back. My core offense strategy was the ability to remove Immunity, and apply Permadeath. That’s it. If I could keep Reviving and picking away at your HP, eventually I would kill you when Permadeath is applied.

You might focus on other skills, based on which characters you have. Maybe Healing instead of Reviving, etc. But make sure your team has a COMPLETE strategy. Each team member has to contribute something to the TEAM strategy-- just being a "good character" doesn't matter.

Thanks mate! I'm going to try that, so far I'm still trying to find out a base team, I already tried multiple combinations and I sometimes I success but others I get epic fails like dying on the first turn, LOL! But I will keep trying and will make sure to have a complete strategy like you said (in combination with the talis)

If you want to have a brief look as how it could look like in a roster, you may check mine for example:

[MetalKing]

I looked at your roster. Your best characters for farming/pvp are Alexander, raven witch, horus, red minotaur and musashi. Rule of thumb- have a strong Eddie with a diverse set of skills, a good reviver, and a multi hitter and a good single hitter or character that can wear talismans to complete an objective. You also might want to level golden Pharoah dog. Make sure that you have sets of talismans on your characters, according to the right color slots they have. Echo, or counterstrike on Alex, thorns on a character would be good, chance on someone, the other new artifact 5
Green set would be ok on a character with green slots. Any leftover slots use a cosmic talisman. Dont use singles of talismans unless you just want to pad some stats. As they dont help with anything else. Other characters to use as fill in would be your koku, or magus Crimean soldier. Since you dont yet have alchemist I would save for him, but if you decide to spend the fragments pick up alchemy talismans. Also with badges I would get destiny talismans when you can. Later if you have the frontier coins to spare warlords are good.

Join a clan and earn those red skull, you can easily save for a few good sets of talisman. If you can at least purchase one yellow, red and blue this month. Each are a 4 set and you can only buy one of each subtype per month. That way you can have a full set next month. Warlords are also available.

Dont concern yourself that you have a mixed set, the most important thing is a full set as soon as possible. They are definetly a good buy. Your real concern you may have is enough resources to level them up.

Thank you for taking the time to check my roster, your tips were very nice and I already made some adjustments to my team and it looks like now my toons are stronger and now I'm using the almost the full power of Alex and he is very useful in the PvP battles😬

Thank you! I'm already part of a clan and I actually bought some talismans that i wasn't using for some reason, but now after all of your advices I made adjustments and with these talis I'm able to continue; I'm still having some difficulties but at least I can make progress
