I've been playing on a server in the wrong time zone to learn the game while I wait for a new east coast server to open.
I figure I'll drop $5 for the monthly card and to give at least VIP 1 or 2, but what would you do differently if you started over?
* I figure keep working on Pixie, Pei and Merlin to get some ranged heroes early for arena. * Would you reset some of the legendary stages once or twice a day to get a head start? * It sounds like Dracula, Zorak and Drakon are good heroes to shoot for for late game. * Are there other heroes that can be a big help for the scrimmage tower? Magic or Physical heroes specifically?
Any advice would be appreciated so I can get off to a good start!

I've been playing on a server in the wrong time zone and it doesn't bother me that much.
I would move tho when there's a event, something like x2 Soulstones or x2 Loot. I farmed pretty much 0 to 80 Isha in the past event.

You got it.
The scrimmage tower is very easy as you lv up, you don't need any specific hero to clear them, any hero would do. The rewards are also not that great so just take your time with it.
Never reset a legendary stage more than once. The 2nd reset costs 50 crystals, which is better used for resetting other legend stages.
One more thing, Drakon is a powerful early game unit. If you get very high Arena rank from day 1 (top 5), then go for it. Otherwise don't, as it is one of the worst hero for late game. He isn't immune to anything and have no disabling skill. At late game where heroes getting more HP, Drakon's poison is completely useless and he turned into a huge pool of HP supply for the enemies' Dracula.

Thanks for the advice. Sounds like it's better to just spend arena tokens (and gold and gear) on other heroes.
In terms of stars, I'm assuming it's good to rush the big arena heroes to 4*, but then get a stable of 4* heroes while slowly building toward 5*? As opposed to having a few 5* heroes and the rest at 2-3* that is.

I did start over on a new server a while back after I switched phones. Here are some of the keys to remember: - Be patient. It only takes 3-4 months to farm up most heroes to 5*. Start now but don't be in a rush to level up or it gets expensive.
- I'd only use legendary resets during double soulstone events. The truth is any farmable hero you will max eventually. (See my note about being patient.)
- Buy stamina daily either 2 or 3 times. It's an efficient use of crystals. Buy gold once per day for the EXP.
- It's easier to explain who you should Avoid farming. Don't farm any of the heroes' on Mortivore's list here:
heroestactics.freeforums.net/post/1456/thread
- Don't farm any of the heroes that you can get from the lily pond (except Helena as needed). Eventually you'll have more gold than you know what to do with and 300 of each of these heroes' soulstones:
- Tristan
Perseus Grump Lazarus Helena Stryker Igor Gable
- If you are planning on buying crystals, ONLY buy enough to qualify for the sales. The additional soulstones you get are usually more useful than the crystals themselves.
- Keep hero ratings the same, relatively low & only skill 1 or 2 skills for sky arena. More information for that on the sky arena boards. Use ALL sky arena coins on Zorak.
- Purchase "Uranus Wings" and "Doomblades" everytime you see them in the shops. I was able to get a stash of 10 each before I needed to equip them.

This info was exactly what I was looking for, thanks. I've actually got mortivore's reply about "worst heroes" open already, also awesome. Are the uranus wings and doomblades the low-crystal items you need to go Purple? I'll have to read about the 1-2 skills in the sky arena, that's a board I haven't read yet. Last question, about only buy enough to qualify for sales: You mean when they offer something like "Buy $9.99 and also get this hero, or these 40 soul stones?" I had planned on buying the monthly (enough for vip 1), and then perhaps another $10-20, to get more stamina refreshes. You're suggesting wait a week or so until they roll out better sales? Is VIP permanent?

Is VIP permanent? Uranus wings are the hardest item in the game to farm. It takes approximately 3,500-4,000 stamina to obtain 1 complete wing. (Half during double drop events) So they are the best value at 200 or so crystals. Doomblade shards are only purchasable from the stores and not farmable at all. That being said - Camex has hinted at adding more places for these to be farmed. The concept of only skilling 1-2 skills in sky arena is that usually you only need 1 or 2 to be successful. The other 2-3 just add rating with very little strength increase. This matches you up with easier opponents. For example, Pixie is pretty awesome with just her two sleeps leveled. Here is the link for the sky arena threadWith regards to purchasing crystals, it's really a matter of personal preference. If you were already planning on buying crystals I would definitely wait for one of the sales that also gives you soulstones. It can give you a quick 3* to help you unlock more stages. Don't go nuts though.

So I saw a new server start today and got up quick and hit #1 arena rewards, so new question: I got Infernio from first crystal purchase, and then in 2-10x crystal purchases got only Medusa and Alexander. None of them really end-game arena heroes, so I'm wondering if I wait and try again on the next server opening, or just stay ahead of the leveling curve to get rewards and earn heroes like Dracula the normal way.
I figure a team of Helena, Gable, Medusa, Inferno and Alex could do pretty well until at least purple or better heroes arrive?

You should have rerolled right away after your 1st free pulls where bad, If you had rerolled a new game right after your pulls you still easily would have gotten rank 1 again getting you that free 6000 gems. Wait for a new server and get good heroes to start with, gives you a huge advantage. You will need it as a freeish player since a few people drop $250+ on each new server
