0:08 All "chaser" type gladiators are useless in permadeath. Only tanks can survive alone, far from your healers. 10:02 Melee damage>ranged damage>direct damage>AOE damage, but AOE often means multipe targets, direct ignores obstacles and melee must run to the target first and can be trapped, frozen or pushed. 11:55 The more experience you get, the better. Experience is something like the sum of combined levels of enemy gladiators. So avoid 1 vs 1, 2 vs 2, 10 vs 10 is a dream. The more people from you is involved the more experience would be on the opposite side. So many vs 1 is also good. 21:10 Granny is actually not pure ranged but ranged/crowd control. Kinda a description mistake. 32:29 Dream random perks for a damage dealer. Saved you some blueprints, the most needed resource in the game. 32:41 Druid is a healer/damage dealer, and a bit of crowd control, a multy purpose unit, this means that she is neither the best healer nor the best damage dealer. Otherwise it would be overpowered. The more versatile a gladiator is, the weaker each of its perks should be. This includes mana cost. Anyway, Druid is the easiest starter because of it, you can combine her with everything. 36:56 This is confusing. Are you trying to buy even MORE dudes? .. That being said, my best run now is arena #10 of 12 and i started thinking that hell/permadeath/no skips/single gladiator is doable.

Sorry for the offtop, i just playing GGM rn and my Brigand killed 5 enemy dudes with one spear shot, most of them were fully healthy. Speaking of why melee does look much more damaging and why. Ranged dude killed 5 melee(some snowy undead from the Hollow Mountains) in one shot and took no damage. - Just saying i wanna share my experience and emotions with somebody - Imagine how satisfying it was

This game sucks... Change my mind!

0:09 This choice of starting dudes is ok on your difficulty but with permadeath you better get at least one healer. 0:54 Later in the game when all perks of a level are available you should do one thing sooner or later. Look at the perks carefully and think which of them do you like the most for every of your gladiators. Do not underesimate it. For example. 50% to the main stat sometimes means 50% more damage. For non damage dealers it's almost irrelevant. For damage dealers with huge multipliers, like damage=stat*10 or more, it's a dealbreaker. 2:16 You can always use Trade button 3:22 So you've got all 3 of your starting units level 3 for 300. This is the best case scenario and it's very rare. I'd say 1% or something. 4:39 Usual solution is to lower the bar on enemy tank to zero. So you will attack it last. Because the are harmless and hardest to kill. 7:35 Enemies becomes stronger after you win monthly arena. This is why skipping arenas is basically free exp, money and artefacts. And every skip lowers the difficulty forever. This is not the only case when enemies gets stronger but the main one. 10:11 Question mark dialoque options sometimes means extra quest. 25:24 Druid is a girl, so "she".

So here we go. 0:25 Where are the healers in your starting 3? People die without healers, you know? There are 3 of them, Pristess, the GOAT healer due to double heal/shield, Cleric, which is basically a healing drone(forget what they say about his tankiness or damage, its a pure healer), and Druid, basically healer/damage dealer. Pick one of them at the start. 1:10 Always try to hire highest possible level. At least update shop a couple of times. You can even hire just one level 3 and make a couple of arena's 1vs1 than hire another lvl3. And double 3 is often stronger than triple 2. And you can win first monthly arena with 3/3 easily, they would be 4/3 before arena, 5/4 after. Easy 1 vs 1 or 2 vs 2 second month fights. 2:12 Any experienced gamer should know these basics-make the enemy hit your tank and never hit his tank before you kill everyone else. 4:10 ranged dps is usually the safest pick if they not die from enemy ranged dps or chasers. Archer has the lowest damage per shot but lowest cooldown also. And she's easy to develop. Melee fighters hits harder but they can be taunted, freezed and other bad stuff. They also need more points to put into health. 5:52 Computer totally outplayed you. You hit his harmless tank, they hit your main damage dealer. 7:33 No, i dislike summoners because when you play 10 vs 10 and the computer has summoners there are alot of peope on the battlefield already, its a mess, no need to make it even messier. 8:07 Yes, and you better click on them and look at their parameters before fight. So you know who is more dangerous and whos to focus first. 12:30 Yeah, i'd like to see the game without priority points. New balance needed in this case tho. 13:23 Direct damage means you cant hide your weak dude behind bigger bodies. It ignores obstacles. 16:18 No. They are the same as yours. 19:22 You can pick 2 resources and no artefacts, usually it is better. 33:51 look at the top right corner, you've already earned the artefact by winning 4 fights. Right fights-for artefacts, left fights-skill upgrade resources, center fights-item upgrade resources. So most of the time you do 4 fights on the right which means the artefact is 100% yours, than same with left then center. (So what do you think, was my comments ok or too detailed?) Will continue later.

Let me think.. i guess my last real time game was Torchlight 2 back in 2012. I can't play them anymore, too much stress.

Sorry i way too lazy today, will do it later. Anyway, regardless of your gameplay, the first thing you should do is to set autopause and windows pop up in the timeline settings. It makes life easier. I kinda think of making first boss run with no commentary just as example that hell/permadeath/no skips is playable. And to answering to your concerns about cheating and unfair computer, no, for me he plays pretty fair. Difficulty means higher levels for enemy gladiators i think thats it. And i die at arena #7 all the time, before that i am kinda happy with balance and stuff.

Before i start, what do you think about pointing to your mistakes(if there are any from my perspective) with the timestamps? Asking because some people like to climb the learning curve by themselves.

Finally watched full video. Quite enjoyable, i love to see people die in this game, at the end this what the game is about. I died and restarted hundreds(no kidding) of times myself. Just finished a good run, died on 7th arena again. Smooth sailing before it. I have a question, how soon is the next video?

Played for a month every day. My mode is: Hell/permadeath 0 refund/single gladiator per type/no monthly arena skips. Infinite replayability because you die sooner or later. For me-game of the year of dozens of games i tried and hands down the best autobattler ever. Too bad devs did not support endgame enough, how it should be, in my case: - Score. Player should know his current result - End run button, you press it and you see your score(complicared formula), top-3 of your gladiators by kills, days spent, progress made. If you score is good enough you get your place on a wordwide leaderboard. - Ofc arena cannot be skipped. Why even Hell is not enough difficult. Revive is too fast. Basically you won the battle with no deaths and you won the battle and lost 9 units are the same thing. Why even Hell+permadeath is not enough difficult. Because you can skip the arena and return later for much easier fights. It breaks all balance. So i wish more people will play with my formula and devs will support such endgame. My best result so far is 6 monthly arenas.

I think noobs should play on "nightmare", veterans on "hell". This game is interesting when you fighting for your life not cakewalking. If at some point the game started looking quite easy just drop it and start over. Most people overllooks it, sadly. Just saying.
