I bought 7 DIAMOND PACKS and 3 GOLD PACKS with real money. I had ONLY 1 LEGENDARY LEFT TO UNLOCK (SPARTICUS), 1 RARE, and 5 COMMON CARDS left in my collection. After opening all those packs, I only unlocked 1 RARE, 2 COMMON CARDS, and 3 COMMON SPELLS. I DID NOT GET THE ONLY LEGENDARY I HAD AVAILABLE AND WANTED TO UNLOCK. On top of that, out of 7 DIAMOND PACKS, which are advertised as having an ULTRA chance to unlock new cards, I only got 3 new cards in total. That honestly feels like FALSE ADVERTISING. How is this even possible? I spent my hard-earned money on this and got absolutely nothing I was hoping for. I feel terrible. Is there ANY WAY to contact the developers directly or get a response from them? Has anyone else experienced this? I honestly don't know what to do.

I got level 9-9 bloodvine and can easily kill many spartheus, still i see the discussion in this group that spartheus are the best frontline. Should I stop investing in bloodline ?

Also, I just got Welp, very good things in comments but it's midline why it's going crazy to front and dying in blast or snail bomb ?

Ok guys so I just won the last arena and reached the highest rank. What do I do now? How do I get Diamonds, Packs and Coins? None of my units is leveled up to 15 yet.

Is there anything else to do except of grinding on the daily rewards?

Shellbro can deal guaranteed damage to HP at the start of every stage.

This is essentially the same as an HP debuff that applies unconditionally.

You think you can take him down with an Engineer?

Yeah, you'll die. After cutting the Engineer's HP in half, that is.

I think Shellbro definitely needs to be nerfed.

Edit: Added the video.

I Thanos-snapped the enemy Engineer the moment the round started.

As you can see, their Engineers are level 15, while my Turtles are only level 12.

The interactions we’ve had were way too real for you to be a bot. For one, you didn’t use all your units and instead only used three out of the four. Then you and I sent pins and messages back and forth repeatedly. And lastly you didn’t have way too many over leveled cards (except ur toxic puddle guys). If you are real please reach out to me. I want to believe that not all the opponents I have faced have been bots masquerading as real proplr. My in game username is tacocat and my profile pic was a goose. Please… I need to know.

After receiving tons of DM from the members, i’ll leave a clue for u guys to find out by yourself alright! Anyone who figure out the trick could comment down below but pls don’t public or explain this bug otherwise we’re all gonna get exposed then get patched eventually!!! The clue is the “COMMANDER PATH”

Since i found every opponent is a bot and the game is practically offline, plus it seems like the developers abandoned it, i don’t know if it’s worth playing anymore. I love playing it but i dont want to grind an abandoned game against bots max level every time when im 10 lvls under them.

Does someone know if the game is eventually getting better in these aspects or should we just find other game, sadly?

So I started trying to use Shell Bros the other day. My biggest issue was players using Snails to stop my shell bros mid attack, leaving them dizzy in the middle of the battlefield to be wiped out easily. I was annoyed to lose but excited to use Snails as a counter for Shell Bros. It does not work when I do it(?) Was this in the update or am I missing something?

Yes, there is 0 multiplayer, every single opponent is a bot.

Should i post a strategy which could get all the cards and bits in this game legally without hacking, this is like a bug. I have just played this game for a week and found out few days ago.

*Edit: U guys sure want to know it lol because having all the cards will eventually make the game become boring. This bug is very easy to figure out, so i might just leave a clue for u guys to find it yourself. Sharing this bug widely might possibly get patched by the developers lol thats the only thing im worried

So I've been playing the game a while and I've spent a total of $70 on this game. I also have over 1000 matches so I think it was worth. I've spent more money on AAA games to play half as much.

But I think a bit of consumer advice here will go a long way. If you do have $15, I would say get the monthly pass. It's way more effective at obtaining cards than saving your gems to open packs. It's way more effective at leveling units. This might get that pack nerfed...but I have everything. That $70 I spent, $60 of it was that monthly pass twice. I now no longer feel the need to spend any money at all.

Food for thought.

I'm listing what I've learned for units i have had difficulty with at some point and what I'm still having difficulty with.

If you have a counter for units i didn't mention or ones I don't know how to beat LMK!

Assassins > engineer

I use the engineer, the auto turret is placed in front of where they'll appear, it won't necessarily save your back row units though, you'll need a firing line like cupids and totems to eliminate them before they can cause much damage.

Exploding barrels > turtles

if you can get the final upgrade for them they will plow through and explode them on contact, for higher leveled barrels with more hp you may need a second row to ensure detonation

Wasters > turtles/snails, maybe exploding barrels

These things will hurt you no matter what you do unless your entire force consists of assassins, turtles and back line units, the best you can do is try to limit their damage by blowing them up early OR using barrels to blow them off to the sides and hopefully out of your units path but more likely than not they're gonna be a problem some so limiting their impact is all you can do.

--if someone has a better strategy I'm all ears, I hate those things--

Moles > barrels? Engineers?

I sometimes have no trouble with these things but usually I do. If my opponent fully upgrades and builds a lot of them i can struggle. The barrels are good because they will surface to fight them and get blown up but it rarely kills them.

Engineers can help hold a line with high hp and the turret is useful but if there's a lot and no extra support the engineers seem to go down and the turret becomes useless once they burrow.

The only way I can beat a horde of moles is by dividing them so one half of the battlefield can hopefully overwhelm one group at a time.

I really don't know a surefire method so please help

Turtles > midline ranged

Assuming they're not wiped out in the initial attack, they will pick them off pretty easily while they're dizzy or focused on the rear line.

Snakes > ?

If my opponent has a large number and full upgrade I have no luck, I'll try to let them take over weak units but having my guys just turn into enemies is not a good result. Somehow ghost archers usually do pretty well, i don't know if spell units can be turned, but they don't show up again if they die and I only use them when I have one heart left, not great.

I hate these things, help!

Beehive > snails/snipers

The snails target the closest enemy so they won't go after these things off the bat, but likewise they won't be targeting the snails either. Once forces are depleted the snail attack usually beats the bees.

If you have enough snipers to survive an attack or they aren't attacked they will take out beehives easy, with the second upgrade it's too easy.

Spartans > no idea

At first I thought these were pretty dumb and could beat them with ranged and barrels but now they've become as unstoppable as moles!

They almost always end up in crazy huge numbers and they steam roll everything.

What can I do?

Sorry if this is too long
