Was hoping that someone could help me, I about to upgrade my Nexus 4 to the Note 3. My one problem is I can't lose my K&D game. Normally I can backup my phone and then can transfer to a similar phone, but will the backup be compatible if i'm changing type of phone?

Not unless that also changes the device ID of the new phone to that of the old phone.
Better to create a new account on the new phone and then contact Gree to have your old account transfered to the new phone. (from what I've read they should ask you things like friend codes, main knight names and amount of gems of both accounts and they seem rather backlogged right now, so you should probably expect to miss a boss armor before they succeed in the switch... )

Is hacking real or fake?
My friend claimed he "used" hacks to get 100000 gold :/
I always thought it was impossible to hack

Probably no longer the case. I haven't seen any complaints of arena/epic boss cheaters lately.
In the past, it seems the server did hardly any checking on the data the clients sent it. If the client would say "hey, I have 1 billion gold and 1 million gems", the server would say "OK, that's fine" without checking if that client could have legitimately gotten that amount of gold/gems; apparently even something like "OK, my armor has 10000/10000 stats" was accepted back then.

Hey all,

This is where I am: I'm level 86, have my big 4+ maxed.

I've crafted the non plus versions of the last 3 epic boss' armor.

I'm not sure what I should do next. I would like to avoid doing the major 4 if possible.

I have a ton of armor and a handfull of fusion boosts laying around because I'm not sure what I should put the EP towards. I don't want to dump a bunch of resources into something I will regret later.

Is it worth levling non plus epic boss armor? Can leveling non plus epic boss armor unlock the plus version? If so, would I have to use the summoning stone to get the mats for bsosses that have came and went? Or is there another alternative?

Should I be fusing armor? If so, what kind should I be fusing? Do people farm armors to fuse them? Should I try and fuse some of non plus epic boss armor I have together?

sorry for the wall if text but I have allot of questions. Any answers or advice is appreciated. Thanks much!

I'm not sure why you would want to skip the story armors, or at least the 3 good ones. Swamp Shaman+, Infernal Lord+ and Dark Prince+ will be useful for a long time. If nothing else, they are good to equip your elemental knights with when they match up well with an epic boss. Without throwing a LOT of RL money at the game for VERY low chance chests, there aren't many good ways to "skip" parts of this game.

Save the fusion boosts for finishing off level 70 or 99 + armors that you decide to level. At 180 EP each, those can save you TONS of gold when the enhancement costs start to get really high.

Boss non + armors are, generally speaking, not worth leveling. For instance, Aegis of the Fallen was the last one. At 1837 total stats for the non +, that is a decent armor. However, this is a Fire/Spirit which is the same as Living Flame+ from the big 4. Living Flame+ has 1514 total stats. Aegis of the Fallen then is a 20% increase, but the cost is high. It would take more than 3 1/2 times as much to level Aegis of the Fallen as it would for Living Flame. Therefore, it would probably be better to just level a second set of the big 4 at basically the same cost so that you could have multiple knights in AA+ or whatever lines up best with the current boss. In the end, this is a personal decision, but that is the general opinion. Swamp Shaman at 1936 total stats is the weakest of the "bigger 3". The others each have a little over 2000 to put this non + into perspective a little too. Roc+ is a part of the bigger 4 but is often skipped because it is relatively weaker at 1881 total stats...which is actually more than Aegis of the Fallen non+.

As to unlocking the plus of a boss armor, yes, it works like other craftable armors. You have to level it to the half-way point to unlock the plus. The non-plus would have to be leveled to 35 before you craft it a second time to obtain the + version. As to gathering mats for a second armor, it is by far best to just be able to beat the epic boss 43 times to obtain the required materials. The summoning stone will bring up a level 1 push-over of the boss but it also only gives 2 materials. This is a very expensive way to try to obtain mats. I have had chests randomly give me mats for some of the older armors, but of course, those are very unreliable.

Fusing for usable armors is just gambling. Any time you feel like you have 25,000 gold and fusion stones to waste, it's always an option. Having said that, make sure you are aware of the popular methods of leveling 70 and 99 armors. The enhancement costs can get really high as you approach the max level. Due to this, many players choose to fuse basics into 50 EP armors after ~ level 55-65 of the armor. Those can save you a lot of gold by reducing the number of times you have to enhance at that cost. At 4 fusion stones per enhancement, you might be surprised at how many you need to try to stockpile to top off those armors.

Does the star element armor does 500% damage to another star element armor?

No. It does 50% more, just like against any other armor.

I am not sure how my progression is going so far.

-I`m currently lvl 28.
-I`m currently stuck on Writhing Cascades (epic). Very close to beating it.. within a few hits.
-I have fused and created 1 full set of the "Big 4". I've Leveled 2 of the "Big 4".. to level 15 (unlocking the + version). and I`m working on leveling the other 2 to level 15 as well to also unlock the + versions.
-With Corvus, this is my 3rd epic boss I`ve tried since starting the game. So far I have not been able, on any of the epic bosses so far, to get beyond 9 wins. ie: I get 1 win shy of 10 wins (4 tiers).
-In the Arena, this is the 2nd tournament I`ve been in I think. I am ranking at around 50,000 each time, which puts me in Ribbon 8 rewards.
-For my Castle, I currently have: 2x level 3 Armorsmiths, 9x Level 2 Training Fields, 1x Lvl 2 Monster`s Nest. There are 4 expansions left to unlock, my next one being 1,000,000 in cost.

Any suggestions, given where I am at, on what I should be focusing on at this point? What I should be doing to improve at this point? Am I doing anything wrong , that you can see?

I am also not quite sure how to obtain the mats to craft the + versions of the Big 4.. I`ve gotten a few mats so far, and I think they were from rewards received in the Arena tournaments and or Epic boss rewards. Is that the only way to obtain the mats to craft the + versions of the big 4?

Just hoping I`m at around the right level I should be, given what I`ve achieved so far.

Thanks, Zanatar.

Zanatar,

Seems you're headed in the right direction! 9x Lvl 2 Training Fields is impressive for lvl 28! Keep that up. If you find yourself not playing very much, going for the 1million expansion is good.
However, if you are playing quite a bit, then focus on the Big 4. You asked how you get the materials.. You can find that information here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/...NZVlvalE#gid=8
Please familiarize yourself with this if you plan on playing this game seriously! It's is one of the best resources made by the fantastic people on these forums! Note, there are tabs at the bottom that you should explore!

If you really wanted to, you could focus on leveling up, but that kind of just comes natural as you unlock more areas on your map. Leveling up has a lot of advantages so keep that mind. Remember to use your friends in not only Epic Boss battles, but even some of your adventure battles! It's about using them wisely!

Cheers!

I am not sure how my progression is going so far.

-I`m currently lvl 28.

Thanks, Zanatar.

- quite impressive castle for level 28, though the gems would probably have been better spent on TF3 instead of smith3.
- expansions unlock 4 squares at a time, so you only need to unlock 1 million and 2 million.
- boss: you can use 10 friends a day, so if you trigger the boss when you have 9 1/2 - 10 epic energy, send in follower + commander + 2 friends with the right armor and 1 1/2 hour later (epic energy back at 6) send in commander + 2 friends with the right armor level 10 rewards should probably be yours. (even though friends stats will be capped by your own stats, they're still stronger than your followers and most of the time also you commander)
- special attack kiling the boss of Writhing Cascades will give you the Typhoon Gems to craft your AA+ (or sometimes you have bad luck and get the lower single element materials). Just do Writhing Cascades normal until you've farmed enough materials.

That`s for your reply to my question on my progress.

I have used the link you`ve provided .. ie: Armor`s Data.. ie:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/...NZVlvalE#gid=8

But I`ve also seen reference to Knights & Dragons Data sheet.. ie:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/...xSko4VlE#gid=0

They seem to be competing documents? or do they compliment each other? Or is one no longer used and outdated vs the other?

The first document is the most recent and most up to date version

The second one AFAIK is a "every anon can edit this file" one and has therefor been abandoned as useless.

Hey guys

Just after some advise, I have a number of standard boss armors and was wondering if it's worth Keeping them to level up, using them for enhancement or fusing them together.

I have the following spare

Mantle of the Beast lvl 50
Armor of Eurus lvl 40
Leviathan's Platemail lvl 36
Armor of Phyrus lvl 24
Slimebane Battlegear lvl 16
Assasins Shroud lvl 14
Aegis of the Fallen lvl 10

What do you guys reckon?
