Hitting League 3
Today's Tournament provided me the 2 Legendary Fiend Souls I needed to Unlock League 3.
I played it safe on my 5th try in the Tourney to ensure I got the little Pumpkin Legendaries at the end of the Bonus Wave!
I'm pretty stoked after yesterdays 2nd Place in the Tourney to receive 900+ SPS for my efforts. It well and truly justifies my burning SPS into DEC to buy Tourney Tickets.
After moving into League 3 I also get a chance to play in a League 3 Tournament.
I can then grind through the solo challenges as well.
It looks like it will be a very SoulKeep focused afternoon.
My Tower Picks
For those curious as to how I focused my Towers in League 2, here is my cunning plan...and it didn't require my Hero character as she was fatigued.
There are monsters that spawn little monsters that help accumulate points & mana - work out their path and let them keep spawning.
My current favourite towers that do all of the heavy lifting;
I didn't like Jack's Joke initially. I thought it too slow, however, the area effect really helps mash heaps of fiends with hot pumpkin.
Quad Killer provides great "bang for your buck", especially in the early waves. I always buy my first one with the "Cheapo" Spell to gain economy of devastation.
Slime Lord is better than Tarantula as it both slows and damages fields.
Placed strategically it can help the other towers inflict damage. Also, if you want to experiment, you can place it further away to slow the spawning fiends to help them produce more babies.
Other towers are good for backup that can fire at magical/flying creatures to help goalkeep your Gate.
My Spell Picks
Venus Fiend I use as a goal keeper at my Soul Gate.
You can use it also to eat the more powerful monsters if you are just playing around in solo. It can gobble up monstrosities before than can spawn.
The discount from Cheapo is well worth carrying this spell. It makes your early defences robust.
Just like Cheapo, Buildmaster helps you upgrade towers more economically. It helps adding range to Quad Killer making it upgradable alot earlier.
You need HeartGiver for Tournaments to get the point boost.
A pretty important card to use early. Although, I have used it 2nd wave and still obtained a high score.
Other Tips
To squeeze the most out of spawning fiends I build the defences up around my Portal. I want them to keep spawning, and spawning, while my defences are upgraded and slowing, area effecting, and multi targeting.
Get out there and enjoy this fun game!
Thanks for these tips! It's really great to see whats working for other folks.
I've found AoE damage to be extreamly powerful in SoulKeep. What is your favorite AoE tower?
Charbel Pit with the skull throwing can be effective.
Although, I have tended to lean upon Jack's Joke for the pumpkinny goodness 🤣
Quad killer with that range boost is so good. I didn't realise, but towers and spells are league capped; so opening more packs and combining, won't make up for a lack of talent. #backtosplinterlandsiguess
you Keep Souling good man..
