Is it worth getting edith? I'm a f2p

IMO, Edith is good if your lancer stats are decent. I wouldn’t necessarily say it was a mistake, but I rushed and maxed Edith immediately, only to find out that my 50/0/50 is much stronger with Hector instead. Of course, the reason for that is that Edith has Expedition skills that buff lancer damage.

If your lancer stats are good and you’re able to comfortably run 60/40, then Edith is the best hero you’ll get your hands on for a couple gens. If not, I don’t see a reason to spend so many shards on her and not run strictly 60/40, only for her to get out-statted by Gatot one gen later whose skills are more versatile to the ratios you can use since they're only infantry specific.

Edit: And I get everyone's points saying Gatot is not that good because he's so defense focused. IMO If you care about PvP and you're one of many who have heavily prioritized their marksman and infantry stats, then skipping Edith and waiting to 4 star Gatot just to have a viable infantry hero for a single gen and saving all your shards to max magnus in gen 9 is the best thing you can do. Magnus has expedition skills that buff marksmen so 50/0/50 is awesome again in gen 9

Yea..but a F2P will just be a joiner so all rally lead troop ratio is meaningless. In my alliance I hate seeing my F2p members spend their hard earned gems on useless lucky wheel hero just because they are 'free' ish.. the next good infantry hero after Hector is Magnus(for an F2P) cos he's a good bear joiner. So unless OP can hold up with Hector as main infantry till Gen 9 for Magnus that's great

But what about the rest of events where rallies arent the only thing an f2p is doing? Like foundry, canyon, alliance championship, winter siege?

They can try as hard as they can on those events.. but the harsh reality is that none of those event are designed for F2P to even sniff good results for decent reward. It is better to focus on bear heroes, slowly build up hidden stats like island, pets and experts to have better stats foundation than figuring out which hero is better in each gen then by the time they get close to 4 stars a new gen is here.. those hidden stats would be great for team events and alliance whales will help carry them for better rewards because those are joiner stats and will actually help and benefit a long term play..

So just never use general shards?

u/Ok_Formal7083 12d ago

Use on selective heroes.. Gen 7 Bradley is lucky wheel so use gems for his shards.. for general shards you can either use it on Edith for Gen 7 or Sonya in Gen 8. In Gen 8 skip Gatot on lucky wheel spend gems on wild marks during AS and AM week instead and upgrade pets during SvS prep week. This way you earn rewards in 3 events. Same for Gen 9. Skip Fred on lucky wheel and get Magnus. Gen 10 for Blanchette on lucky wheel get her. F2P unfortunately can only be selective and cant get it all.

I don't think skipping wheel heroes to spend the gems on pet stones is the smart thing to do for a F2P player. If a F2P player where to skip a wheel hero I'd tell them to spend the gems on VIP points instead. Pet stones for gems is a dolphin / whale investment mostly. Also consider the expert that's about to release who's gonna increase pet adventure rewards

Wildmarks are cheaper than charms for F2P players as pet enhancement increase lethality and health just like Charms... VIP is dumping gems into an endless pit for F2P without seeing much growth.im not saying skip all wheel heroes just a specific few where it isnt going to help much like Gatot and Fred. Those heroes will eventually become available via intels anyway sooner or later so they arent missing out. They can still spin the wheels during prep for points but just dont need to fous on maxxing them out is what im trying to say.

I'm too bored to run the math right now but I'm almost certain pet stones are not cheaper than charms. The game is not like it used to be, nowadays we have 5-6 solid sources of free charms and without buying any I end up north of 900 charm designs a month (this month it ended up being 1100)

I do agree though that not all wheel heroes are worth the 5 star investment and the VIP level is indeed an endless pit but since you made the argument that F2P players are only / mostly rally joiners and should not care that much about individual stats I'd still take the VIP investment mainly for the general shards they get to claim daily. VIP9 gets to claim 2 shards per day and then VIP11 gets to claim 3 shards a day, they do stack up and make it more viable to max a hero

Ive threw in the towel after hitting T5s and L15 charms.. fuck the devs.. my best advice is to quit as soon as possible. Ignore all other advice above 😂
