That "what not to do when you raid" demo had me silently yelling "No! Stop! You're going to get yourself killed!" LOL

A must watch for newbies and a good refresher for the experienced. Thanks Nittany.

I binge watched your entire beginner E & P episodes last night. I am soooo thankful for all the knowledge that you have shared! Now I don't feel so lost! I have been playing blindly for 2 months doing all the wrong things. I haven't joined an alliance yet because I was too scared of the unknown. Now i know what to focus on and feel much better. Thank you Thank you Thank you!

This video is absolutely fantastic. So educational. I just posted it to my alliance telling everyone to watch it. I mean, you just summed up so many issues in one solid vid, I am just in awe of the intelligence here. Great job bro. You are an asset to the entire E&P community.

Dude, you have taught me so much about this game, I'm so happy u make videos. Keep up the good work!!

[another] Honorable mention: not fleeing a battle when A) you can't do substantial damage and B) they're about to heal/potentially resurrect. (especially relevant during field aid!)

That video on the psychology of randomness in this game would be very good to see.

Thank you so much! This is an excellent training tool. We have a new training alliance and I am going to borrow your video for them! Keep them coming!

Thank you so much. Especially at the end about the tiles. World of difference

When you started talking about War flags I couldn't agree more. It's super frustrating to have members not use all flags. There were times where we won by 1 point and vice versa all because of a flag

WOW, I've been playing all wrong! Very helpful tips. Thanks

I have been watching videos by the veteran players of the game. Thank you so much for sharing these comprehensive tips! Really useful to improve in playing the game. I just really have to be patient in doing things in the game, like leveling up heroes and fighting in raids. 😀

Thankyou!! The tips on not using strong duplicates & resisting randomness madness really helped....also thankyou for reminding others about the importance of togetherness in an alliance...I began playing in January. I joined my alliance at level 7...now I'm level 28 and they are like another family...many have come and gone. We all really try hard and it is frustrating when someone uses no flags in war or on Titan...

Nice video. I like how you talked about the low percentages of getting 5 stars and you've got a tonne of them! You've definitely put the time into the game though

I learned the 'use all war flags no matter what' when my alliance tied. all we needed was 1 pt, so of course, people with uwf were kicked! Your videos are always super informative which really helps us that are still learning!

Great video. I share these with my alliance. All my event pulls were garbage but I got Nieth twice on a ten pull. Thanks!

Best video that explained "ghosting"...thank you..I understand now. 😁👍🏽

Excellent video of advice. Following these basic tips will make a game much more satisfying and encouraging.

Great information Thanks for taking the time to educate everyone

Great video..posted it for a members of our alliance..we are mostly new players with little experience, but with the heart of a lion...this helps tremendously!! Thx...i signed up for your channel after watching this..

Best video ive seen on e&p in a VERY long time

Excellent video. Thanks!

New sub!! I just started playing 2 months ago. I love this game!! Thank you for posting this video and great raid game!

Really enjoy your channel!

Rant on Randomness from a Programmer's Perspective lol What's funny about randomness in a piece of software is that computers cannot be *truly* random. They don't have thoughts the way humans do. There's a mathematical formula used to *emulate* randomness. And all mathematical formulas inevitably have a pattern to it. For example, the Java algorithm for Math.random function returns a "pseudo-random" number with an equal chance of getting each number within a given range. What happens over thousands of iterations is that you see patterns form in the "randomness" and an *even* distribution of numbers generated by the function. ------ Board generation example: Based on how they sort heroes in the hero roster by color, we can assume SG has the following numbers assigned to each color: Purple 0 Yellow 1 Blue 2 Green 3 Red 4 So when they generate the board, they'll create all the tiles and generate a random whole number between 0 and 4 for each tile to determine the color of each tile. Since the algorithm only generates 35 tiles per initial board (and a couple tiles at a time when they pop up), it *seems* random. You'll need a much much larger sample size to find if one color shows up more than another in a statistically significant way. An expert player (like you!) knows that each new tile has exactly a 1 in 5 chance of being the color you want. So unlocking the randomness helps you turn the board in your favor... like setting up diamonds from tiles that aren't even on the board yet.

I knew that leveling up with different colors was okay. So many players argue against this, but I have found myself finally with someone else who understands!

Honorable mention: When leveling your heroes, skip through the leveling animations by clicking on the screen to speed up the process.

the bit of advice at the end was the best lol

Cheers bro. I appreciate the pro tips. That luck for those 5 stars though?!?! Dope work b.

Great job & great advice, thank you

So thankyou for the tips!!!

Excellent Video much appreciated 💯%

super helpful. Shared it on my alliance Line group

very nice video dude ;))) Just do more raids, wars etc plssss xD I really would like to see more of them by you :D

Great informational video. Keepem comin

Like this video. So true points. Cant wait for rng psychology.

Thanks for the video. It was very helpful.

Great stuff, thanks!

Awesome video. Thanks!

Thnx actually picked up some good tips

Great video like always ! Can i ask you if u can make video where u will show which talent path you took for your main heroes ? I know u made video what we should focus on, but when we have to chose 2% mana or maybe % of def what should we choose and if u can show us your paths with explanation it would be great

Thanks, excellent video

So we're just going to ignore that his one training has 1281 days and 11 hours to go?

F2p has been the most amazing journey. No luck in summons and so forth for the first months. I learned to kick the ass of so much better heroes with my 2*s. Then up my game when I finally got my luck in the game I knew most of the tricks to take down those heroes and which were the worst to meet and so on. Im still far from done, But in my soon 1 year played Ive managed all the needed boulding to 20 and the hunters logde done. Made a few lucky 5*s from Investing all the saved up hero tokkens, and using all the w/e flasks during the more important events like Atlantis and Challange events. Today im a 56 lvl player with 9 event 5* heroes, 30+ maxed 4*s and over 40 3*s. Kickin ass and getting in the top 1k in every monthly event and makin sure Im in an active clan and Does my part. So even if you are a hardcore Cardswiper or want to play for free, this game works for you.

i love ur voice sm its so relaxing

I've got several 5-star heroes just sitting around stuck on level 3. Ascension materials are impossible - it seems.

Thank youu for pointing out few mistakes I did, lol

Great stuff, just started playing the game. Already figured most of these stuff by my self but learned few things I didn't know. Thank you, like and subscribe.

I'm new to game great information you provided

I'm 67 years old and know so little about this game but after tips I've beat the crap out my raids ty

Awesome! Advice!

Thank you 😊

Great video!

Im a new player and this video definitely helped

thx it helped me alot im gonna change my raid and war style

I wanted Mitsuko, called her name, and BOOM......I got her on my first summons, 3 more and now I'm gunning for Ariel!!! #gottalovethesinglesummons.

I'd be interested in seeing a whole video on randomness. Fascinating stuff, the way our brains work (and sometimes DON'T work).

Minimum # of SAME coloured feeders to max a hero. 3*. 4*. 5* 1* 278 / 932 / 1965 2* 108 / 360 / 759 3* 67 / 222 / 468 1965, 1* feeders to max a 5* hero 67, 3* feeders to max a 3* hero **More if you use off coloured feeders **

great video man

Hi Nittany, thank you for all your video's. I have learnt so much from watching your channel. One thing I do need to ask, why do you have the animation sounds on when you summon? Are you able to turn the volume down on them because it seems very loud. Other than that, please dont stop with your video's, they are always very informative.

Nice video and tips. What is early game/mid game/late game/end game tho? Im assuming being able to complete Season 1 is early mid-game

Nice video thanks

I agree with this video. However a small notion, when lower players use unleveled 3* heroes to cleanup, it's sometimes better to not ghost tiles because their specials can't deal enough damage to the enemy heroes. That's probably where the mistake comes from

Thanks for the ghosting tip. I has no idea. So it’s better to ghost more to assemble diamonds and heads and use hero’s to kill? Do I have that right? Two months in the game, still learning. Thanks for the video’s. Discovered them by accident. Enjoying them.

Great advice as always! /L3LLO

Hey great video I'm new to this game and I'm loving it so this helped still working on mastering it any other tips I appreciate thanks....guilty I would have kept attacking

Great tips! I see you upload regularly. I'm a free to play E&P player and it would take forever to earn enough gems for a 10 pull, so I usually do 1 or 2 (at the previous Alantis I did 3 pulls with the coins). If I want another hero, I can't wait till 2600 gems to pull. What do you think of leveled up (but not ascended) 2* heroes? I've reached the point where I have enough 3* heroes and my 4* are strong enough to finish season 1. With all the leveled 2*'s on my list, its difficult to level up 10 of the same colour simultaneously.

👏🏻 thank you

I've been playing this game for a month or two and I'm quite addicted. Im only at level 10 in the story mode but I take my time and grind a lot. I can't seem to stop playing although I'm afraid to hit a wall and then feel lost.

I'd be interested in a video with minimal gems beings spent. I've been playing a little more then a year I got a 5 star Vela in a bonus summon, that is the 2nd 5 star I have. So I've had to deal with working up from 3 to 4 etc. This video is great for starting players.

when ya try to ghost tile but get a skyfall leading to enemies getting their mana bars filled..

Have a guestion we are having touble finding items like the compass and other items do u have a advice on how to find them

Ok I really really want yr E&P like I wanna lend some of your heroes😁

New sub!

I'd love to hear a lot psychology of randomness please. Very interesting. 🤨

Great Info... I was wondering if Wu Kung is worth leveling up.

I only have one question it seems that everyone is using 5* heroes but what about using 4* heroes?

I would also add: using diamonds to do elementary summons from the normal portal, instead of running tc20. Save diamonds for anything you *cannot* get from tc20. Another tip not everyone realises quickly is to use tc11 to store feeder heroes and tc20 to store food (and now you can use hero Academy to store iron, in troop training).

Can you please let me know how you get 5 star hero’s past level 50? I notice you have really high level ups even though it says they’ve been maxed out.

i won a war once with out even fire off 1 special skill i got 23 combos and killed them that way, my team power was 3850 going against a team that had a team power 0f 4020

Nice

If you feed a hero to another hero and both are somewhat leveled, Does the hero that was fed get the experience from the hero that it had already been upgraded?

Hi Nittanny. Great content, as usuall :) I have a question, which building convert to Alcheby Lab? Forge? (2 left) or maybe Farm (11 for now)? Which building do you convert to it?

How long and how much money did it take you to get your castle and empire to this level??

So crazy to see how different the game was back then.

Hi there I’m new at this game I’ve been watching your vids I really like them . How long have you been playing ? And can I be a really good player without spending a tone of money on it ? Please reply

Since u mentioned the costumes how to ascend a hero with costumes? Thanks

Arigatou sensei!

I'm so jealous you got alice! I got two jabberwok's and somehow have 5 neith (literally was not gonna try for her) just from random summons...

I just became the leader of my alliance, a video about tips to leading would be great (I’m aylajane=Lazy Vikings)

I have tons of purple training heroes but no purples to use them on at the moment. Should I use them on other 5 stars that I'm trying to max out quickly?

Ty I'm new & I love playing

Hmm sometimes i think even if you are a low/mid level player, its ok to feed all at one time to max a hero, especially you are trying to get 6 teams for war. The downside is probably more food needed but its actually faster in real time.

Wow how much do you spend on this bro? I've been playing like 6 months and still dont have 4 ascended.

I cant tell you how many 5* Ive fed to themselves. Even just lastnight...my reason is saving space and thinking I will not need a 2nd one or pointless redoing a whole other dupe..hmm maybe Ill change my ways. Right now I have so so many 5* to level im losing my mind. Its too many to focus on all at once. Im using different strats now and realize how easy it is to run low on food. I need to continue building up my farms theyre a bit neglected. Mines are up to date all food and iron storages are maxed just gotta do the farms. Great advice tho. Will make some changes.

I accidentally feed away one Evelyn I thought I don't needed 2 😂😂 😂 but I just had like a month playing so I didn't know shit back then 😬

Khagan is my only 5*... lol

Has SG made some player comprising, yes. Does it suck, yes. Do we remember Telluria in her original form? It was tough but not unbeatable. For heroes that are “nerfed” I think SG should offer more than a 20% return on the resources spent. If a product is labeled and sold as something specific then altered later it’s theft. For example, there are lightbulbs with built in speakers on the market. If you bought a set and then 3 months later they stoppedd the speaker functionality would you only expect to 20% return? Or would you be content (well they still are light bulbs)? The time/resources/money investment is stolen. This shouldn’t be the stock market where one day a good hero is good and the next it’s not. Costume Kiril heals and does -34% attack and def. No one is complaining about that. But who is next? Finley, Jabberwock, Gravemaker? I’m a c2p for context, I don’t spend hundreds on the game each week/month like some. Anyway, thanks for the conversation @nittanylionroar

just wondering i'm a free to play how much have you spent playing the game??

Thanks for the video bad I got three Kingston's and I'm keeping them all
