New Game + and your Spec
By =[RoS]=Justinpcgamer
New Game +, How difficult is it?
Many of us have already gotten to New Game + and maybe beat the game obtaining 1 gold star on the last few levels. The problem is once you reach the home stretch spec becomes EVERYTHING. If you want to beat the last 4-5 levels with all Stars and a Perfect rating you will need to do the following.

  • Beserkers - Need to make sure their spec contains all of the AOE Abilities, Whirlwind isnt as important as maxxing out the Furry Crit and Bleed values.
  • Archers - Archers are so lame end game due to the fact that the worms can evade 70% Ranged attacks or so. My advice use them as debuffers for the bleeds and posions and make sure their AoE Abilities are maxxed out. Pierce armor isn't as important of a trait if you are careful placing your Paladins.
  • Monks - Max all healing skills, Max Inspire and Max blind + Ether Flash
  • Mages - Freeze and Slow maxxing will be the most important at this stage in the game. Use Mages primarily on lanes were alot of armored or worms will be.
  • Paladins - Possibly your most important unit to place well and spec well - Make sure you get as much Armor Break as possible and max your knockback and stun and their corresponding abilities as well as Sword Training.
  • Dragons - I rarely use Dragons but they are extremely effect at AoE Packs for Dragons max out their fire balls and fire breath as well as their +ATK abilitly. Think of them less as melee fighters and more as long range artillery.

Itemization is VERY important

Itemization in this game is often severly overlooked and not really done well by players. Make sure your items are appropriately used. Put your Paladins with the Thorns return armor right next to the creature spawns supported by a monk or two. Make sure your mage with with the 3x worms and 3xspitters staff is placed very well in order to minimize the effect of those buggers. Secondly make sure each weapon and bow and staff goes on a character you will remember to place in a spot that maximizes the item itself.

Home Stretch, Final Difficult Levels
A screenshot dipicting the place most people tend to get stuck in.

Main Char Spec
This is the spec I use mainly on Azra for support and damage.

Beserker Spec
This is my typical spec for each Besereker.

Archer Spec
The following is my spec for archers. Take note that one Archer Spec (First Screeny) is the Damage Dealer, while the Second Screeny is her Support Archer (For Debuffs)



Monk Spec
Just want them to heal heal heal and blind!

Mage Spec
I try to keep all mages the same spec, maximum slow, maximum CC

Paladin Spec
Most important spec to get just right. I recommend using mine for heavy cc and knockback.

Dragon fire Spec
Dragon spec focusing on ranged attacks and burns, becarefull about positioning w/ ice mages when using this spec.

@Magic,

Thanks for asking. I haven't played this game in roughly 2 years. I am more than happy to promote your new guide if you create one for the new stats/game play features I may have missed here.

Is this guide ever going to be updated again? I would assume not since it hasn't been touched in years, but I recently got back into this game and have considered making a relatively short guide to cover stuff like this with more updated strats

Yeah, still can't load full size images here with steam client or in browser.

No big deal though, great guide and my workaround was to load in browser and zoom to 300% thus making above unloaded images readable.

Thank-You

As an update --- this guide has not been updated since July of 2016. If any of the builds are now out-dated due to any patches / additional content I have not updated it.

The Screenshots are still there for me. When I view it.

The screens are form the old version of the game, I don't remember about it, but regarding the rangers this guide is badly outdated or wrong:
