It's finally here!

I'm loving it so far. The map is much better than the previous games, and I love all the new battle options.

Get the shrine kills early is probably best. Probably when you want pressure off your kill gems to upgrade them.

So when's the auto-extend mana bar going to be fixed lol? (Non-premium, with premium could probably hit level 100 off the first map.)

Now you have two options to do the shrine kills:
- do it early, when you have an average mana farm and can drop a G15+ gem on a summoned wave.
- if monsters hps are high, build at least 6-10 shrines (as much as you can) and use high grade gems to strike the same monsters (probably the 3rd-4th starts some kills, but sometimes just the 8th strike does)

Update comes in California morning (4-6+ hours from now I guess)...

I think about this start:
1. Build shrine.
2. create high gem, at least 5-7 grade(as i saw, now i can afford 8 grade gem at start. 5k+ amulets)
3. anger first 3 waves till damage of gem in shrine(7 grade gem deal about 5k damage. giants in first wave around 1-2k. you can summon 1-2 hundreds of them)
4. send 3 waves, it's means instant refresh for shrine.
5. kill it with gem in shrine.
after this you practically can afford 10-12 grade gem.

Also, as i can see, you didn't use cyan and blue gems.
Seems, strategy for "no monster reach your orb" must be based on traps with "yellow-cyan-lime" with shrines near them.you need just throw on each wave 10 grade 10-12 gems.

@Gremlion: I *never EVER* use cyan and blue gems, yet I've never leaked a single monster... I only use lime/yellow and orange/lime.

I usually get about 100 - 200 wizardlevels per endurance battle.

Sorry for the doublepost, but this is another tip:

USE THE KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS!!

It will make you SO much faster, without them you will not make it.

And extend that mana pool as early as possible.

Anyone else getting a bugged Mana pool? I am on level 60 with Shift-M enabled. My mana pool is just exploding higher... at like 250X right now and climbing like 6times every time it touches a mob.

Does anybody know if the ritual bonus to mana and mana pool size comes before or after the focus multiplier?

I just tried the glitch with manapooling at the beginning, the gem I created made the game not display any getm stats, or what monsters I summoned or even what battle amulets I got, BUT IT RAN SO FAST, NO LAG THE WHOLE ENDURANCE MODE PRESSING N!

yeah i flew through 2 endurance modes like you wouldnt believe..
and now i reloaded it it seems to be fixed..
:/ you able to still do it?

It's like once you hit the max mana, it upgrades but doesnt deduct the cost to upgrad it.

I just realized with thsi to. that if once you make like a level 24 gem.. just put that gem in a tower surrounded by amps... and you should be able to clickthrough intsantly with no lag.

Maybe you upgraded focus too much and you don't reach the required level of mana, but I'm still able to do it.

Ah, anybody knows what is the map with the most beacons? Or any map which I could use for getting the "destroy 300 beacons" amulets?

H1 has 10 beacons. You dont have to win the field for the destroyed beacons to count towards the amulte but it will count double if you win (IIRC; at least in earlier versions). So just restart once you destroy bacons, rinse and repeat.

Thanks, does it count as a victory when you end endurance mode? :P
