Hi, i just played thsi game 3 days ago, and its similarity to HOMM makes me LOVE this game. Then i have a few questions : 1. Whats does the "star" on each hero portrait do? I assume you get 1 star each time you fully collect the hero's soulstones and evolve it? Does the star signifiicantly affect the hero's stats/abilities? 2. I just got Inferno(fire elemental) and Katla(fairy dragon) from wishing pond, are those hereos good (worth raising)? I have stryker, perseus, tristan, helena, and gable. I can only take 5 3. How do i find katla's soulstones? 4. In scrimmage tower, haunted gold mine, it says "renders magic useless" does it mean my magic damage is halved or what? The same with magic library, is my magic damage gona be doubled? 5. For future reference, how do i find friends who ar eno longer active? So i can replace some who dont send energy 6. What items to look for in the shop/rare shop (camex?)... I heard some items are pretty rare 7. How do i know the current server time? 8. My game's lagging(and sometimes force close), it can take 5 seconds to equip a single equipment, and during the battle, every time a hero makes and action its gona be abit laggy as well, how do i adjust the graphic quality of this game? 9. I see that gems are the premium currency of this game, whats the best use of those gems? 10. About guild, what does guild stamina do? and how do i earn guild coins to buy those yummy soulstones? Ohh and lastly, does the star after each battle (1-3 stars) actually mean something (affect exp/gold/item drop rate)?
Thats alot of questions... I appreciate any kind of answer for any question... Thanks in advance

Hey Drea, and welcome to HT!
I will answer the questions i remember the answer to.
1: Correct, you evolve the champ and it gets a significant boost in stats. The % increase in stats is lower the more stars. I think (correct me if im wrong) from 1* --> 2* its 50% increase in stats, and that 2* --> 3* its 25%, then 12,5% and last is 6,25% increase in stats. 2: Not the best, not the worst starting heroes. I allways recommend new players to farm dracula and pixie. They are some of the few heroes that are good throughout the game. 3: Katla can only be farmed from the stores. Rare find. 4: I cant remember how these stages work. Someone else have to answer this. 5: I would check friends list before reset, and see who havent sent stamina and then delete them. No easy way. 6: I would collect all the Uranus wings, essences(especially fire) and infinity blades i come over. Also since you are a new player, get the 112 gems items. 7: Check time of free stamina, and then how much time is where you are when free stamina is availble. None of te server are the timezone they claim to be. For instance, the euro server Xanath is 2 hours later then CET. 8: This is either you having an old phone, or bad connection. 9: Spend gems on items, in the beginning also saving for 10x goldfish is good as you will get a full champion every time. 10: Guild stamina lets you open the guild boss. Guild coins are earned for killing boss, and for attacking it 2 times a day. that gives you 100 coins. Killing boss and be top damage dealer will give you 950 coins. If you kill boss withing bonus time, you get 50 extra coins for every member of the guild.
If you manage to 3 star a stage, you can farm items from the stage with raid cards, so you dont have to play the stage again.

So, if say i got the inferno hero 3*, the stats is automatically adjusted as if he's leveled from 1* to 3*? I mean if i got inferno 1* then level it manually to 3*, would the stats be the same with the one i got the 3* directly? 3. So basically katla's a premium hero that f2p palyers are gona have a hard time leveling her? And speaking about katla, does she inflict statuses in her normal/1st skill? i saw she used thunder/ice/fire bolt but none of them inflict their respective ailments 5. So you have to check each friend one by one, for a total of 100 friends? Ok... 6. Whats the 112 gems items? I usually skipped the gem things, and only purchase the gold coin items only... 9. So the best use for a beginner right now is the 2,8k gems 10 wish gold fish? What does it give you? From the description, it says you'll get 1 hero.. by paying that much gems, so im guessing it must be one of the legendaries hero? 10. Is the guild boss the one that can't be opened until you reach level 50? If so, guild is useless before level 50?

1/ Dont worry about heroes initial ☆. It is there only to indicate how much souls you will get if you already have the hero. You get 7 souls from duplicate 1☆ heroes, 15 souls from 2☆ and 30 souls from 3☆. For example, if you get another Infernio from pond, it will automatically become 30 Infernio souls.
3/ Katla normal attack will only have effect if you open her 4th skill.
5/ Yes
6/ the 112 gems items are those you need to promote your hero to purple stages that unlock the 4th skill.
9/ Gold fish pond give you all heroes except the 3 Premium only available for Vip 11 in Dolphin Pond. Those are Gladius, Pegasus and Elemix.
10/ You need 60,000 stamina to unlock the boss. Before lv 50 every member need to contribute stamina. After that each time you kill the boss, you need another 60k stamina to reset it.

If the goldfish pond doesnt give the legendary heroes, why would anyone sacrifice so much gems(2.8k gems) just to get a single random hero which might/might not be useful 10. So, i can just level up to 50 then join a brand new guild which has the boss unlocked already? There's nothing like contribution pts or something prior level 50 in the guild right?

3/ Katla 1st skill will also get effects from her 4th. You can see it states "both normal attack and Freak Fury" on the 4th skill description.
6/ The goldfish pond is great for new players when you dont have a lot of heroes to play with. Average soul drop per map fight is 01, so fyi, that Infernio you got actually takes 80 days to farm if you dont want to spend crystal to reset map. Then you need 250 more days to make it 5☆. The 2.8k gives random hero with a chance for you to skip 80 days of farming a 3☆ hero, 30 days of farming a 2☆, and 1☆ heroes are the worst you might get from that.
It is of course a luxury for spenders. But even free players are recommended to do it at least one time. You get a lot of crystal for climbing the Arena rank when you first started. Extra heroes are useful for the Sky Arena unlocked at lv 35.
10/ You can contribute at any level, but boss only available for lv 50. Up to you whether u want to join a guild early or not.

Thank you for the answers And do you think the soulstone farming in legendary mode is capped at 2 soulstones per stage? So after getting 2 soulstones no matter how many times you 'retry' the result will always be the same (no soulstone drop), unless you spend some cash to reset the stage

You can only do each legendary stage 3 times. And as RyanT pointed out the average is 1 soulstone per 3 raids. If you reset a stage for gems you get 3 more tries to raid.
The most i ever gotten is 2 soulstones, and i have raided quite a bit! So its fair to say that 2 soulstones per stage per day is the max.

Great answers. I'll add a bit more...
1. I'm fairly experienced myself, but didn't know about how much difference the stars in soulstones made. I have been spending a lot of stamina trying to get my top 2 heroes to 5 stars, but see it would be of more benefit to focus on the rest of my top 5 getting to 4 stars (12.5% improvement vs. 6.25%). 2. Katla is a very useful hero early on, but her use gets less as you get stronger. Feel free to invest in her in the short term, but just know her usefulness gets less later in the game, and she's not a hero I ever use now (I'm level 70), unless I'm desperate! Infernio is a very average hero. I don't use him. You might be better off continuing to invest in those starter troops, and Katla. Having 6 heroes will be useful later. Eventually you'll want a lot more than 6! Regarding your top 5:- Tristan - good in early game, but his usefulness gets less later in the game. I no longer use him. Stryker - great in the early game, but again, his usefulness gets less later in the game. I very rarely use him. Gable - great in the early game, but dies quite easily, and his usefulness gets less later in the game. However, he's still worth investing a bit in. I use him occasionally still. Perseus - Has a good skill, and is fairly tough and quick. So even though he's not fantastic at the start, he does improve a bit. However, he's still not a great character, and I rarely use him now. Helena - good in the early game, great in the late game. She is the main character you should invest in. Not easy to kill, and can heal others. I agree with mortivore that you should farm some new characters when you have the stamina to do so. I also recommend Pixie. Dracula is very good, but will take you a while to get. Others for your consideration would be Pei, Cyclops and Merlin. They are all good throughout the game. 4. Yes, magical damage is a lot less in the cursed gold mine. I'm not sure if it's exactly half. So, better heroes for the Magic Library are magical heroes, and better heroes for the Cursed Gold Mine are physical heroes. Another reason to have more than 5 heroes is for this. You can tell if a hero is magical or physical by going to the hero section and selecting each hero. Under Attributes and Hero Type you will be given a description of the hero, for example, Range Mag Dmg. This tells you the hero is a ranged unit (as opposed to a melee unit) and that it does magic damage. 7. The current server time can be fairly easily found. You will see you can get free stamina at various times of day, so if it's available, you know it's between those two times. The shipments in the general store also only come in at certain times, so this should give you some indication. You should be able to eventually work out what the server time is. 8. I don't know how to adjust the graphic quality of the game, or even if it's possible. Sorry. 9. I find the best way to use gems is to buy things from the Camex or Pirate store which you need or will need soon. Also, you can purchase stamina or gold to attempt to do all 20 daily tasks. I normally buy one of each, as I'm trying to evolve my cyclops, and the reward for completing the 20 daily tasks is 2 cyclops soulstones (and 30k gold).
I think that's all your questions answered for now...

I think that's all your questions answered for now... Thx for another great answer.. 4. Ah.. so in the magic library the physical damage got reduced? I dont have many heroes right now, but this info might be useful for later stages as i get more heroes 9. I've encountered camex and pirate but i bought only the gold items, as i have no idea which item does what, so its best if i just keep on collecting gems and spend them for 10x goldfish pond wish for now? You cant even equip that powerful items on your hero

Some other questions : 1. I read in the wiki for skills level up : whats below level and below level+1? e.g : dracula lifesteal Initial: Converts 30% of dmg into HP when attacking enemy below level 1 Growth: Converts 30% of dmg into HP when attacking enemy below level +1 Does it mean it only works for level 1 it wont work for any unit and level 2 only work for level 1 unit? or for level 1 the skill only works for unit 1 level below your unit's level or lower, level 2 the skill works for units at the same lvl like your dracula or lower The desc is abit confusing TBH
2. Are there any efficient ways get more raid cards for f2p? I'm getting bored of having to repeatedly repeating the same maps to farm gear/stones everyday
3. Whats katl's 3rd skill "icnrease success rate" mean? Does it increase katla's accuracy? 4. Deos helena heal only heal the valid target? or does it randomly choose one? e.g : i have 3 wounded undead/elemental heroes, 1 wounded living hero, and helena herself at full health Will she automatically heal the living hero, or she might choose the undead (and fail)?

I am probably less experienced than you, but here are some of my POV: 1. I probably need to see other's explanations on this as well; 2. I think the daily login rewards you the most of raid cards. Plus, I always find lack of stamina to use up my raid cards...I may consider to sell some of them for gold later 3.I would say so. 4. Undead and elemental can't be healed (except self heal). So in your example, Helena will only heal the wounded living hero. If only your undead/elemental hero are wounded and it's Helena's turn to cast heal, then she won't cast...:/

I finaly gave up and bought the discounted raid card package ... this is the first time i use real money in the mobile game, this game better has a long life span... lol That leaves to number 1 only to be discussed... I dont have enough gold to upgrade all of my abilities especially beyond level 20 abilitites The source of gold i know : - Scimmage tower, can only be done 5 times - sky arena, ranging from a pitiful amount of 500 to 10k, in my level (40) - Story mode, small amount While each ability will cost 10k/lvl/ability this game seriously needs to invent more way to earn gold and oh, does raiding give your heroes exp as well?

Also, I don't think raiding give heroes exp...although I hope I was wrong on this
