Any quick tips for PvP first week goals and strategy?
I love the game, but I pretty much suck in PvP, sitting around 1300 MMR.
I pretty much only play tournament mode, so either Sprint or Exodus. I mostly play Temple and Dungeon (Schism if they are picked/banned), to keep things simple while learning.
On Sprint I understand that my goal is to move from zone to zone and pick up boxes ASAP. I know each zone has increasing tiers of your units and there are 2 boxes per zone. My questions about this map: what other things should you prioritize? What is the target time (say for 1300-1500 MMR) to get to zone 3 and capture the castle there? I think the best I did was day 4 or 5 and that was only playing Ister, which was not banned somehow. Otherwise I usually get there day 7 or so.
On Exodus I seem to struggle even more. I understand that you want to build up your castles and usually focus on power stack, sometimes based on your hero's specialty. But the implementation of that is where I struggle. The biggest issue is I don't know what to go for first (other than ore and wood mines) and also how not to get lost and lose movement for nothing. Sometimes I feel like I can't find wood or ore mine until like day 3 or 4, which sets me back, or I find resources, but don't find enough gold. A lot of times I take a fight that I think may be winnable and lose a bunch of my units due to misjudging the strength of the stacks. Sometimes I'm sure I'm not taking some "Difficult" fights that probably are winnable. The fighting itself, if I manage to pick the right one, I can do fine, but I'm sure taking or not taking fights is where the biggest problem is now.
So anyway, just wanted to see if anyone has specific quick tips about (Temple or Dungeon specific):
- What fights/resources to prioritize week 1 on Exodus.
- What to prioritize on Sprint other than boxes.
- What should I focus on building early and what units to prioritize week 1 on Exodus (Sprint I think just economy with focus on Astrology)
Thanks!
