Kingdom Wars: No Cheat Game Guide (Part 3)

Characters and Others


all images which are featured in this particular post are screenshots from my actual game..
i do not own any copyright for the characters and any other design featured in Kingdom Wars, and i'm just using the images for visual support...


Castles and Backgrounds


before that, here's a proof that you can really collect a lot of Jewels in the game even if you play fair and FREE..
in my case, i can earn about 3,000 Jewels per day just by grinding from Stage 3, Level 71 for about 5 hours of playing time..
the Jewels are not from that level, but i always watch an advertisement before playing it...

and now, for the Castles and Backgrounds...

this is my most favorite background..
a scene of a peaceful-looking village, while i fight monsters in the Battlefield..
the thing that i call the Battlefield is the ground or that strip of land where all characters cross to fight..
for a tower defense game, it's like you are actually the one who is moving as you progress, starting from a peaceful location and transferring to not-so-peaceful-looking places until you reach the enemy's base...


the Weekly Event has its own unique background theme..
it's like a jungle for those Lizard folk..

while the final (5th) level seems to be an indoor location...

each Stage in the regular Battle menu is divided into 75 Levels..
the 75 Levels is divided into 5, with each set of 15 having a common Battlefield and castle style..
in most cases, the background changes for every 5 Levels, with every 5th Level featuring a Mini-Boss or Boss Castle..
i won't be featuring all the backgrounds, but instead i just picked my favorite sceneries...


here's the hut-like castle or base from Levels 1 to 15..
i just call it a castle, since mine is a castle..
i'm not sure if the format is the same throughout all Stages, but it is for the first 4..
also, i like the enemies from the first 4 Stages because they stick with a specific theme or monster class...


here's the castle style from Levels 16 to 30..
it really fits the desert theme...


the poorest-looking castle, from Levels 31 to 45..
it's like the enemies are from some slum...
i like it though...


then the Orcish-like castle from Levels 46 to 60..
it reminds me more about Orcs instead of the Undead...


lastly, the rock formation castle from Levels 61 to 75..
unlike the earlier levels which seem to be outdoor, Levels 61 to 75 seems to be a tower climb journey which ends on the top floor...


plus, the evil-helmet-like castle for every Mini-Boss and Boss Level..
this is the least on my list, because it doesn't look like a base...


then here's the opponent's castle inside the PvP Arena..
based on my observation, the battlefield remains the same for every 10 matches..
plus, it does not necessarily have to match the background theme...


Weekly Character Schedule

this is for the characters who are only made available during a specific week..
for now, the full cycle lasts for 15 weeks (almost 4 months)..
i played this game for a total of 15 weeks..
so that's around 105 days...

okay, so i don't have images for the first 3 weeks, i didn't know that i had to observe it back then..
so here's the list, in text:
1st Week - Celes (if i'm not mistaken, she comes with Greed during that time)
2nd Week - Tachyon Wolf (plus Armored Warrior only)
3rd Week - Acra (plus Fire Witch only, if i remember it right)


(4th Week)

(5th Week)

(6th Week)

(7th Week)

(8th Week)

(9th Week)

(10th Week)

this is when i suspected that the rotation has changed..
since she was my very first Legend or Super Legend assignment, i was not supposed to encounter Celes until i have completed the full rotation of characters..
but it happened, and i asked the developers, to which they replied about the schedule that i should expect (which was correct anyway)..
and so my playing time was extended for a week...


(11th Week)

(12th Week)

(13th Week)

(14th Week)

(15th Week)


My Characters

here's the list of my collection of Characters..
mostly based on their design, and not necessarily because of their power..
i'm particularly interested in sexy female Characters for my collection...

Common and Rare Characters have a maximum Limit Break Level of 35..
i'm not very sure about Legend and Super Legend, but before i played this game their maximum Limit Break Level was at 30...

the first set is part of my army, but not necessarily part of my actual collection..
i just need them because of their stats...


Golem and his final stats..
a reliable HP type character..
this class which i call the HP type is characterized by high HP, melee, high Attack, plus Splash Damage..
he is not the best among the HP type, but he is the easiest to level up since he is always available..
i'm no longer sure who was the very first character that i managed to level up to the maximum, but it is either Golem or Gorgon...


Gorgon and his final stats..
he is among my Runners..
it's the class which is characterized by fast Movement and Attack Speed, despite having low Attack, melee, with considerable amount of HP, plus being cheap in terms of food consumption..
mainly, i use this batch for grinding, since they are the fastest castle breakers based on my observation..
but i also use them for alternative defense, because they are quick, they can easily provide cover for my long range attackers...


Infiltrator..
also a Runner, with the same final stats as compared to Gorgon..
they are both easy to level up because they are always available...


Greed at Level 25..
i think he is the strongest Runner from the Rare category..
he is supposed to be stronger compared to Gorgon and Infiltrator based on his starting stats, but he is a little hard to level up since his appearance is dependent on a schedule...


Tachyon Wolf..
this one is a Legend, so i was not able to bring him to his full potential..
but looking at his current stats at Level 18, he's definitely the best Runner out there...


then, here's my actual collection of characters..
they are arranged according to when i obtained them...

Rare


Miss Sword..
i was already able to bring her to Level 35 before, but i used her to farm for Powerstones..
she is not that reliable in terms of attack, but she can provide defense..
i prefer her lesser form which resembles Odin Spear...




Fire Witch at Level 20..
a reliable mage when i needed a character who doesn't fly or float...



Grace Elf..
archer type in general are weak..
i prefer her lesser form...



Sniper Captain..
although she's weak, she makes the most interesting attack sound out of all characters...


aside from girls, i'm also a fan of Dragons...


Flashare the lightning-based Dragon, and his final stats...



Salamander the fire-based Dragon, and his final stats...


Legend



Odin Spear..
she's a reliable and cheap character, even at Level 10 only..
she used to be one of my Runners..
but i primarily use her for farming Powerstones, since she's a Legend who is always available...





Critical Grace..
another easy source of Powerstones from the rank of Legends...




Dragon Storm..
she is slow, but is fun to watch in that position...

(Dragon Storm in her upright attacking position)




Empire Magician..
i believe she is the strongest mage among the Legend rank...





Valkyrie at Level 18..
she is the best HP type out there...


Super Legend


Celes..
she has a Splash attack that can do Freezing effect against enemies..
plus she has an Attack-boosting skill for her allies..
but i don't prioritize her because she is slow, her range is not that long, and she consumes a lot of food...




Acra at Level 12..
i believe she has the same stats as compared to Celes, but she's cheaper..
she has an archer's weapon, but she flies and inflicts Splash Damage...




Ares..
mine is at Level 13 (you may refer to my previous post for her final stats)..
she's my favorite female character..
as a Super Legend, she's a hybrid; being a mage with penetration attack while also having the range of an Archer type..

Ares' weak spot..
so yes, unfortunately she has a weak spot..
it depends on where a certain Ares is positioned on the Battlefield, and where the enemy is..
i have already encountered it for a few times..
the thing is, Ares can detect the enemy, and she will continuously attack to try to kill it..
but even her charging can't reach the enemy under this special condition..
as a solution, other Ares(es) can do that for her, since characters are usually summoned in a different line on the Battlefield..
or to get a quicker and sure result, just back her up with a melee attacker, since such type won't miss enemies of normal size...




Duran at Level 14..
i don't know what his effect is meant for..
also a hybrid Super Legend; he is like a Runner with HP type characteristics...


Omega..
a long range character who attacks using arrows, so he has the range of an Archer type..
as a player's character, he's weak, but he has monstrous boosts inside the PvP arena, turning him into a cheap war god..
he does Multiple attack, about 6 times in my estimate, and that attack ends when his target is already dead...


Alpha at Level 18..
the fastest Super Legend in terms of Movement Speed..
his Attack Speed is not very fast, but he does Continuous damage using his drill..
i think he can inflict up to 5 hits, which is transferable to other enemy(s) in range until the full attack ends...


Zeke..
i think he is the character with the most HP..
he can do Splash Damage...


Gigabyte..
an Ultra Super Legend character..
a non-independent character which can only be summoned by having an Alpha, Omega, and Zeke on the battlefield at the same time (that costs 6,245 Food in total)..
you can have multiple Gigabyte(s) on the battlefield, although some issues may occur because of his presence..
he seems to be able to perform Continuous Splash Damage (another hybrid), so even if Alpha's attack is greater compared to his, his Splash effect makes him more suitable against a group of enemies...

(Gigabyte's flight mode)


My Army


this is my army of beauties, minus Dragon Storm and Critical Grace..
plus Duran and the recipe for Gigabyte...


this is my final army, for the usual battles and for PvP..
with my Runners included in the lineup..
as you can see, i have collected all characters in the end...


Additional Characters

plus, here are some extra characters with interesting features:


Battleship..
it's a character that can be obtained in a sort of special way..
simply, it can be obtained by doing Special Summon while your game is not connected to the internet..
i did it in a single try..
i'm not sure about before, but now it is also already available through the weekly rotation...


Mr. Mortar..
he is different from the Mister Mortar support skill..
he cannot move, he does Splash Damage, and his attack power increases based on how many Mr. Mortar are already deployed on the battlefield..
based on my observation of enemy Mr. Mortar(s), it seems to be immune to the effect of Tornado..
it can attack the enemy castle provided that it is within range, although inside the PvP arena i have not experienced being able to attack the enemy castle by using it...


Shirah..
she can occasionally do a Push attack or Push Back effect against the opponent..
she can also auto-cast Shield on herself, i think once her HP drops down to somewhere around 50%..
she has good Attack Speed, but her Movement Speed is her weakness especially against long range enemies inside the PvP arena...


Thunderbolt..
his range is that of a normal mage..
his Penetration attack has a chance to Stun the enemy, while attacking him can cause electric shock which also seems to be a Stun effect..
not very strong though...


Issues

• Reward Multiplier won't work on Jewel rewards - when i was still exploring the normal Battle menu, many times i have experienced not being able to utilize the Reward Multiplier when the reward is Jewels...

• Ads not loading - there are times when i try to get FREE Jewels by watching an advertisement, the loading circle will appear, but no advertisement will be loaded and the only solution to it is to close and re-open the game...

• Ads cancelled - this happens when you click the FREE Jewels option and the notification about the advertisement being cancelled immediately pops up...

• Ads error - sometimes advertisements will load, but it will quickly close, claiming that there has been an error, so you won't get a Jewel reward in that case...

• Ads lagging - there are advertisements that even though they are playing they will experience lagging after every few seconds...

• Gigabyte crashing the game - a lot of times during normal Battle, i have experienced my game crashing once i summoned Gigabyte.. usually that happens when i already have multiple Gigabyte(s) on the battlefield.. his music theme will continue playing on the background, but you will no longer be able to play your game.. i haven't experienced any Gigabyte-related crash inside Endless Mode though...


Suggestions

1) for PvP, i hope the developers can implement an actual PvP system, and not just a challenge of artificial intelligence..
just so we can properly evaluate our choice of Powerstone boosts..
although i'm worried, coz i've seen some videos on YouTube where players do have all Attribute boosts maxed out, meaning the Powerstone Reinforcement Limit of 100 was not applied on them..
and i also think that a lot of players would rely on Consumable Battle Skills if we're actually going to have a fair PvP system...

2) the Kingdom already has female characters, but the enemy lacks them..
i have played a lot of games with sexy female antagonists, and i think Kingdom Wars deserves that as well..
some examples are:
  • Fallen Angel
  • Succubus
  • Vampire
  • Lamia
  • Female Sphinx
  • Nine Tails
  • Medusa or Gorgon
  • Siren or Obeaune
  • Harpy
