Evolution Shards Location and other issues.

[Gonzo]

I've been trying to get Evo Shards for a few days but I can't seem to find any information on where to get them. This lead me to the conclusion that maybe shards are supposed to be "random", and if this is the case it's going to discurage a lot of players from playing the game.

The difficulty spikes pretty quick and it's nearly impossible to continue the game without 4* or 5* characters, doesn't matter if you manage to get your Talismans to lvl 30 (max lvl before you need runes that you can't get because you are not strong enough... see the irony?).

All this being said, at least give us a notion of were to find the required shards to star our characters. I've been a huge Maiden fan since I was super young, I've seen them live almost a dozen times, I REALLY WANT TO SPEND MONEY on this game. But unfortunately I won't until I see some kind of response about this matter. There's no point in spending money to get things you won't be able to use.

Besides this points I really like the game, and I know it's been out just for a couple of weeks so that's why I'm posting this, it has huge room for improvement.

Yeah, you have to farm the hardest level you can do at the moment to get the best stuff at your level. It needs to be clearer for sure.

You can check possible drops by using that little drop info button Above the battle name. Hard difficulty battlefield or normal underworld can drop 2 star evo runes. Haven't unlocked anything higher to check drop info

I'm lvl 20 and I complete harder levels using allies, my characters despite being 3* lvl 60 and using good talismans still get destroyed in the 3rd Story Arc. Basically because the game doesn't let me grow.

Unfortunately, and as much as I don't want it, the game gets old really fast. I hope some dev reads this thread and post something. As I said before, it's a great game. And I really want it to be succesful.

That doesn't help when you need specific shards. If that shard in the possible drops means that you can get ANY shard then the RNG involved in this game is too high to consider it a reward.

And most importantly, how do I get to Hard Battlefield or Underworld if I can't 4* my characters? See the irony? You need 2* evo shards to get to Hard Battlefield but in order to get there you need strong characters that need 2* evo shards. As of now, the game is not hard, it's impossible unless you have strong allies. Or enough luck to pull a 5* using probably a lot of money.

Hopefully they add a VS. Mode soon or other game modes. I can see how it can become old quick, but so far I'm really enjoying the game. Just adding more characters won't keep people interested once they have done the story all the way through. New game modes are the key to enhancing the longevity of this game. As for as shards are concerned, I am having trouble finding them but I appreciate that it's a challenge. If it's too easy to upgrade characters the game would get older much more quickly. I agree it's too difficult to get shards now, but maybe implementing a once a day mission or allowing Trooper points or ironite to be used for shards (like with skill shards) once a week would really help and keep things balanced. There definitely has to be a balance.

Yeah PvP, can't wait! Should be pretty soon.

Gonzo, if you are in Battlefield, it might be best to farm Kingdom of the Sands Hard or Ailing Kingdom Maddness. I think those will give you good drops at that point, because they are about equal in drops and perhaps a bit easier to do.

Agree with the above post...it isn't very easy to get evo shards, let alone the right coloured ones. I got most of my 2* evo shards in Kingdom of the Sands (hard), but it took some time to find them. In an earlier version of the game, I found the Nomad and Mortal Lust levels had the greatest chance of having an evo shards but it doesn't seem to be the case with the latest update.

I also find the money and XP go up after the mid boss of each world. Perhaps the drop rates do as well?

[Gonzo]

Thx for the tips guys. I really apreciate it.

Right now I'm about to finish Ailing Kingdom on madness so at least I'll have another secret location to farm.

Last tip!

Find good Troopers to add. They can carry you really far
