F2P Tips Gen 2 please
Guys, my server is gonna reach Gen 2 tomorrow, with our 4th HOG starting in 3 days (first HOG after gen2).
I'm completely f2p with just the second construction queue. I am at 27M power currently, and I went for Saul just enough to get 6% of reduction (2 stars).
TC Level : 26 (27 in 7 days)
VIP : Level 4
Gems : 450k
Mythic shards count : 230
Troops : all T9 (55k-60k in each troops category (inf,cav,arc))
What's the best thing I could do to have a massive powerup in the next few weeks. (Planning to Unlock Zoe to 4 stars)
I'm also thinking to buy Marlin for 15k gems and potentially gonna try to take him to 3-4stars max.
I'm open to all kinds of tips... should I save all my speedups for something else? should I use all my charms, gear and forgehammers?
Thanks for your time !! Much appreciated !!
Have a good day y'all
