Spring Event.. a review

Posted on February 10, 2019 by ceejtankgaming

Sorry for the lateness of this. It might be of no use to you now as the event is hours away from being over, but I’ve been sick.

What is it?

This is the Spring event, or the event of the dragon? It’s definitely not spring. It’s celebrating the Chinese New Year I think? Either way, it means FREE STUFF for you. (Or you could use diamonds for free spins. or to reset the “Festival” portion).

You complete normal every day events, and get these things called LUCK COINS.

You get these for completing PVP, way-points, winning clan war points, Arena Battles and the Spring Festival event.

Spring Festival on the Map

Like the last event, there are three “Paths” on the map. At TR9 each waypoint costs 12700 food. I’m sure this is scaled across all the different TR’s, but 12700 isn’t too bad for 16 points on the map.

The top route is like doing Individual invasion points. It’s low level guys, who you just walk through. At the end, you get 15 Luck Coins and then a blue Spring Chest.

The middle route is like playing 1 PVP battle. Usually the players aren’t an issue and you can walk through them as well with little difficulty. However if you don’t heal up, you might have some trouble. So let your team heal a bit between battles. At the end, you guessed it.. 15 Luck Coins and a blue Spring Chest.

The bottom route is basically Gem Bay with a 6 man team. It’s pretty easy. 15 Luck coins, blue Spring Chest.

THE BOSS…. it easy. Easier than most checkpoints on the middle route actually. But you do a gem bay like fight, and round 5 is the Dragon of the Festival. You’re rewarded with a legendary Spring Chest and 25 Luck Coins.

The LOOT

OK. So lots of different loot types here. Guaranteed loot from the chests, upgrades to the castle looks, an AMULET is the #1 thing people want.. but it’s tough to get, and been rumored you can’t get it with our spending a fair amount of diamonds. As of writing this I have not gotten it. You can only get castle decorations from the Boss legendary chest, or the spin wheel (I believe).

The loot process they chose is my least favorite. It’s a spinwheel. You spend 100 Luck Coins (Fairly easy to get this many) and it spins a wheel a random amount, and chooses 1 item.

Castle Upgrades look kind of cool. I got the background, the bridge, the windows, the roof, and the walls. If you get the background, you can “click” on it for it to shoot of fireworks.

The DRAGON mini pet.. is awesome. I got a pic of him and the Reindeer in the same room. I was hoping that he’d eat the reindeer… but then I’d miss TankDeer. Pretty cool though.

Overall thoughts?

Overall, I wasn’t a huge fan of this. As I mentioned before, it’s my least favorite type of loot system. I know all loot is random, but seeing it spin past what you want every time you spin is just annoying. Also, not a lot of people got the “best” gear from it. Feels like a pay-to-win event as I everyone I know who got the amulet, spent between 4000 and 7000 diamonds on the event.

It does have some nice little things like the backgrounds. If you don’t set your heart on getting the amulet, it’s a good event and you can get some good stuff from it.

Connect FB to the game? Why?

Posted on January 24, 2019 by ceejtankgaming

These damned data miners… Trying to steal all my FB data… What could possibly be the benefits of linking my FB to Hustle Castle?

I’m glad you asked.

First benefit.. Using these pills you can exten… Wait a minute.. Wrong website…

Ahem.

There are lots of benefits to connecting Facebook (FB, the bizzle, facebizzle, the book, Zuckerberg’s face recognition database) to the game.

You get a daily quest, which lets you open a bigger chest.

You can send 5 chests to friends a day(for the quest.. you can actually send 20 in total). Which does this quest. Which give you scrolls to open the chest listed above (184/1500). These chests are actually pretty good, usually contain diamonds, sometimes a legendary. So being able to get them faster is better.

You get free resources from sending AND receiving them.

Whattttt? Free? Yup. Every 10 you send, gets a resource chest. Lots of people save these for portal events. I save them for whenever I need food and am short, though they contain Food, Gold, Wood and Iron(at TR9 at least). Right now I have around.. 300 of them, which is about 13 million gold. When I jump up to TR10, I can use these for upgrading rooms quick at the beginning by boosting my gold supply.

It helps save game progress.

You can use it to help your account if you need to switch devices. This can also be done through google play linking.

If you think of any I forgot.. let me know! 🙂

Gear, General

Current Team

Posted on January 10, 2019January 10, 2019 by ceejtankgaming

I just updated my current team so everyone can see them. See this team, and my past team Here.

Current team(1/10/19):

Makeup: 1 Tank, 2 Rez Mages, 2 Archers, 1 Assassin

Squad Power: 1,920,568

Differences:

I’ve gained around 180k squad power since mid-December(mainly due to gems + artifacts), so I decided to update my squad page. The big change is i went from 2 tanks and 1 archer, to two archers and 1 tank. My tank as you can see below has Rez armor, and I roll with 2 Rez Mages. The hit points on him are beefy, and he generally can tank 2-3 guys. I noticed the high DPS usually wins matches over longevity, so I switched from the 2 tank method, to a 1 tank, and an extra higher-DPS (Second archer).

My archers are 1 bow/1 cross bow. The cross bow is slower, but has higher damage hits, so I’ve paired it with a artifact that increases damage, at the cost of life. This can lend itself to some really big crits, and help me take down other tanks very quickly. I put the Rune on the regular bow, because it fires quicker and instead of restoring health (like on a cross bow) it instead does damage to multiple targets (23% of the time).

Weakpoints/Next upgrades:

The obvious one weakpoint.. Amulets on my DPS guys. For some reason, I can’t get a good legendary Amulet that doesn’t have + spell power. Same with Rings. It’s like they want me to roll with 6 mages judging by the amulets I craft/Receive. Need to keep working on both amulets and rings for my DPS.

Gems, again, better gems = more powerful.

Artifacts on some of my guys. I’d like to replace my tanks artifact with a better one. I want to get a second teleport one to put on an archer, but one that has an activation of “once in a while”. I’d put that one on my assassin, and move my assassins to my archer. I also want to replace my sloth artifact with the spell caster to speed up my next rez, and reduce my opponents.

Armor – I made a big jump with my assassins armor. He always gets killed, so the Arena store had armor that does damage upon death. So he dies, does damage, then one of my mages rez’s him. I like it. I need to find some skele armor though.

1 Tank:

2 Rez Mages:

2 Archers:

1 Assassin
