Getting a Lot of Crystals Guide
Ву SpinzACE.
Artifacts are crucial! Some of the best ones are:
Grape Planters: Receive 1 wine for each Wheat Field or Small Wheat Field in your castle every 10 seconds.
- Wine increases morale, which increases attack by a very noticeable amount. This works even when the fields aren’t under the king’s vision, which is why the example picture shows rows of small wheat fields.
Metal Mask: Gain 2 metal when you kill an enemy.
- Great for getting those catapult/ballista buildings and constructing them.
Vine Mask: Gain 3 grapes when you kill an enemy.
- Great if your plan is to use stables/horsemen rather than camps/militia. In my humble opinion, horsemen are better, but without this artifact, you’ll need a grapevine field.
Crystal Mask: Gain 3 crystals when you kill an enemy.
- You will still need a crystal mine to get enough crystals for the magic colleges, but this absolutely helps.
Voodoo Beads: Upon choosing a reward, your first reroll is free.
- A free reroll on artifacts and buildings is incredible for helping you gather the exact buildings you need.
Indescribable Figurine: When one of your troops dies, a dreadful creature of immense power rises from their remains to fight for you. Has a cooldown of 180 seconds.
Scarecrow Hat: When one of your troops dies, an explosive Scarecrow will be created in its place. Has a cooldown of 40 seconds.
Indestructible Shield: Gain a 15% chance for your units to completely block damage.
- The above three are all great for helping your “meatshields” last longer and keep distracting enemies.
Family Crossbow: Receive 2 temporary archers at the start of every wave.
- Two extra troops that sit at the second line to help distract the enemy. It’s less their attacks and more their use as fallback “meatshields” which is useful.
Some of the other artifacts, such as the 1,000 water jug, are great, but these are some of the key ones to seek.
The building upgrades are also important, particularly stun and capacity for the catapults, along with faster spells.
