Case study: boosting the special stat

[shaunvis]

What talismans are people using for their SE?

Is Attack good to have or is Special more important? I'm not sure if things liek Barrage benefit more from ATK increase or what.

im running Guardian Fierce 2 sets, Strength Fierce 2 sets and Rush Will 2 sets, although i think the yellow boost bullwark is a better set to have but only have one of those

[Gonzo]

There's been a few discussions about this topic in particular
This is what I use, same reds as Dutch.

2- Strenght Fierce
2- Guardian Fierce
2- Boost Will

All the Talismans are maxed.
I decided to boost AT only since Acrid Smoke is not that good. I'm thinking in removing on red set and trying the Piercing Set that I have on my Alliance General.

need one more of those damn bullwarks

Gonzo,do you remember where you found the most orange lvl3 evolution material to level those boost talismans to level 5 at or was it just luck RNG?

[Gonzo]

Underworld Madness, maybe. I had tons of runes. I had to sell a bunch.

Und Madness or Battlefield Madness A Matter of Life and Dead works too

[kryton]

The only ruin I have had trouble finding.Really it seems anything that makes Soldier Eddie stronger seems VERY Hard to find.At least for me. I sold a bunch of other ruins and leveled up some talismans.Gold is my major issue right now.
Thanks

Try shadows in the valley im getting a good few there today

I wouldn't recommend selling runes for the moment unless you have an inventory problem.

The drop rates seem to be "rune focused" after the update but they don't drop as many as before. At least that's my experience in this few hours.


Gold hasn't changed, I spent 2M on upgrades yesterday and I ended up near broke. I'm slowly making my way up again.

If you need to farm those Bulwarks try Kingdom of Sands Normal. They drop more commonly than higher levels. I discovered that trying to farm Strength talismans in Ailing Madness only to get everything else I did not want. Dropped to Normal and get 5 in a row from Blackened Pride.
