GROUPS, TYPES & SETS

Groups

There are four (4) groups:

• Circle icon for Ground Troops

• Triangle icon for Ranged Troops

• Diamond icon for Mounted Troops

The six (6) Blazon slots correspond to the six (6) types of Blazons:

• Earth

Blazon Sets

Each of the six (2) types above, belongs in one (1) of two (2) Sets:

SIX (6) STEPS TO GREAT BLAZONS

Six (6) Steps to Great Blazons

---

STEP 1

Assemble the Eight (8) Sets

The eight (8) Set bonuses are huge and pretty easy to get. Just find one (1) of each type of Blazon, the level and quality of the Blazon doesn't matter. Mix the (2) sets if you need to, just get all 24 slots filled as soon as possible.

Equip the Sets in the Blazon Interface Screen:

For Multiple Sets, you'll need to set-up the presets in the upper left corner. Very similar to the way Monarch Gear Presets work.

Preset recommendations for each Troop Type:

1. Attacking Set

2. Defending Set

3. Reinforcing Set

---

STEP 2

Find a Good Blazon of Each Type

It looks like about one (1) in 50-100 will be good. The rest will be garbage and used for leveling up the good Blazons.

Just like Refining Gear or Refining Dragons, some Attributes are good, some are mediocre, and some are bad.

A good Blazon has two (2) of the best attributes (that are listed in the previous section), like:

• Marching Ranged Attack Increase

• Marching Ranged Attack Increase

OR

• Defending Ground HP Increase

• Defending Ground HP Increase

OR

• Mounted Defense on Monsters Increase

• Marching Mounted Defense Increase

OR

• Defending Siege Attack Increase

• Defending Siege Attack Increase

NOTE: When you find a good Blazon, hit the "lock" Button in the upper right corner to make sure you don't accidentally use it to level up another Blazon.

A mediocre Blazon typically has two (2) different compatible Attributes, like:

• Marching Ranged Attack Increase

• Ranged Attack Increase

OR

• In-Rally Ground HP Increase

• Marching Ground HP Increase

OR

• Mounted Defense Increase on Monsters

• In-Rally Mounted Defense Increase

OR

• Defending Siege Attack Increase

• Siege Attack Increase

A bad Blazon has at least one (1) Non-Helpful Attributes or two (2) opposite Attributes, like:

• Ranged Attack Increase

• Ranged Troop Training Capacity Increase

OR

• Defending Ground Defense Increase

• Marching Ground Defense Increase

OR

• Mounted Troop Load Increase

• Mounted HP Increase

OR

• In-Rally Siege Machine Attack Increase

• Reinforcing Siege Machine Attack Increase

---

STEP 3

Level Up the Good Blazons

Collect all the mediocre and bad Blazons, and use them to level up the good Blazons.

Click on the good Blazon you'd like to upgrade (level up).

Then in the lower right corner of the screen, click the green "Upgrade" button.

Any Blazon, no matter the level, can be used to level-up any other Blazon, so if you find a better Level 1 Blazon to replace, let's say, a Level 10 Blazon, the Level 10 can be used to upgrade the Level 1 Blazon to Level 9 (return on Investment will be 80.0%-86.7% of the resources required to make the higher Blazon).

To see a previously used (high level) Blazon in the "upgrade" list (so that it can be used to upgrade a lower level Blazon) ALL three (3) requirements below MUST be met:

1. It CANNOT be used in one (1) of the four (4) currently active sets (Ground, Ranged, Mounted, Siege).

2. It CANNOT be part of saved preset.

3. It CANNOT be locked.

---

STEP 4

Get a Compatible 3rd Attribute at Level 10

Each Blazon can have eight (8) different Attributes, assuming the chances are all the same, it would be 12.5% chance for each Attribute or 1:8. Each Blazon Type should have at least two (2) compatible Attributes, so 25% or 1:4 chance to get something compatible.

If an incompatible attribute is generated at Level 10, you can either keep it, or go back to step #2 and use it to level up a good Blazon for another try.

Upgrading a Level 1 Blazon with a Level 10 Blazon yields a Level 9 Blazon, then adding twenty-four (24) more Blazons gets the new Blazon to Level 10.

Four (4) tries at a level 10 Blazon would take approximately:

119 + 3 x 24 = 191 Blazons

If a compatible Attribute is generated, go to Step #5.

---

STEP 5

Get a Compatible 4th Attribute at Level 15

Again, each Blazon can have eight (8) different Attributes, assuming the chances are all the same, it would be 12.5% chance for each Attribute or 1:8. Each Blazon Type should have at least two (2) compatible Attributes, so 25% or 1:4 chance to get something compatible.

If a compatible attribute is generated at Level 15, congratulations you now have one (1) really awesome Blazon.

Upgrading a Level 1 Blazon with a Level 15 Blazon on yields a Level 13 Blazon, then adding sixty-nine (69) more Blazons gets the new Blazon to Level 15.

Getting a compatible Attribute twice at 1:4 (25%) is 1:16 (6.25%). Sixteen (16) tries at a level 15 Blazon would take approximately:

349 + 15 x 69 = 1,384 Blazons

If an incompatible Attribute appears you can either keep it, or go back to step #2 and use it to level up a good Blazon for another try.

---

STEP 6

Continue Upgrading to Level 20

If a second compatible attribute is generated at Level 15, congratulations you now have one (1) really awesome Blazon that's ready to go to Level 20. Another 450 Level 1 Blazons are needed to get a Level 15 Blazon to Level 20.

---

THE PERFECT BLAZON

The Perfect Blazon

Again, each Blazon can have eight (8) different Attributes, assuming the chances are all the same, it would be 12.5% chance for each Attribute or 1:8. Each Blazon Type has one (1) perfect Attribute (usually Marching, Defending, Reinforcing, or for Mounted, Against Monsters).

Getting the perfect Attribute twice at 1:8 (12.5%) is 1:64 (1.56%). Sixty-four (64) tries at a level 15 Blazon would take approximately:

349 + (63 x 69) + 450 = 5,146 Blazons
