The biggest boost to defence is the perch. Warrior dragons with proper defensive riders make a big big difference. Also, I have earth flak in almost all my islands over storm tower and ice turret. I just wish that I could go for the exotic runes, but without the season keys, its a tough choice.
To piggyback on this..a totally spot on comment..By the time you get to a Vanguard drag on the perch, the perch stops being just a perch but also becomes a weapon. Oni on a perch (at it's level, not endgame tier) absolutely becomes a weapon. It is really easy to overfocus on max towers and forget about leveling the perch.
Don't remember if you've done a rune video or not...if so, link it to this series. If not, make one. I'm finding as I approach Verdant tier that you can add billions of DP with proper runes. Runes can change a run from an easy Krel run to a 2 or 3 dragon run. As usual..great content..
This is very helpful for me. I plan to reach level 280-ish next fort with 6 level 60 towers (max level) and I may transition to a long island setup. I have a very similar base to this one, but I don't have an IF. Would it be better to transform a legacy tower losing some xp and timers or to build one from scratch? Looking forward to hear your opinion on this topic.
The towers are spread apart more so they don’t all interact quite the same, it’s more of 2 separate a islands back to back rather than 2 islands working together
Dolph Lundgren at very high levels it is used as a kill island. Namely, at the back of the Long Island lightning towers are very dangerous. However, that’s only really a strategically good idea if you’ve already got maxed towers on every other island
Yeah I think I will stick with the two. Might convert fire to ice. But I have a mythic glyph for fire flak which why I stuck with it for so long. Will probably only move to a long base once my second perch can take my current defensive rider. But will do it soon
Why did my defense drop so drastically when I moved my towers to where you suggested? I was shocked and confused, and ended up putting everything back to where I had them originally, and my defense shot back up to where it was. I don't get it. I noticed too that the defense in this video went from 704M down to 141M. I still don't get it.
Yea as I explained, this player didn’t have the second perch and so they couldn’t move the rider, they also didn’t move the runes, that’s why the defense dropped so much. If you move then you need to have the perch up to at least level 30 for your rider to give all the stats.
@@TheGrindWarDragonsGuides no, my first perch has a dragon and rider/gear. My 2nd perch has a dragon, rider/gear, as does the last perch, which is also my highest lvl perch, I believe. I went from about 420M down to around 318M. That's just too much of a drop in defense, and I just can't afford to move the Runes and glyphs from that little kill base at perch #1. They're all Mythic and Legendary Runes and glyphs.
@@TheGrindWarDragonsGuides well noted, I currently have islands 1 and 2 because of perch 2 not lvl 30 yet. But the challenge is in atlas, with high lvl towers, then the farms and mills won’t have big percentage, and then the attacker will quit early and might be faster to win the base. I thank you for your feedback, very much appreciated, and I’m a big fan of your videos ☺️ keep it up
Yea you could definitely do that! If you don’t think you’ll use it in the future or need it at all then transform can be a nice instant benefit. However if can be useful as an extra tower if you have an extra slot or if you put it by farms and mills, but then you’d have to build a storm from scratch and increase your overall player level

Loving this series, keep up the great work! Don’t know how you still keep up with the uploads, take care not to burn yourself out (:
Yea thanks! Haha
Nice to see my friend base
May I suggest trying to help a long island base, a base in which the kill island involves a howi on a long kill island
What do you mean exactly? Is that not what I did in these videos? Or do you mean on the front island, island 5?

So if I have a perch where the castle monument is and switch to a long kill isle, do all the boosts like rider gear still apply?
Not sure which perch you mean, but If you’re talking about the first perch, those boosts do not apply to towers on island 4-8
Is there any reason the final long Island can't be a kill island? Then you can utilise the perch damage also.

I don't believe I can improve on my current build, but I'm going to keep an eye out here to see if I missed anything
Ign is Skinny, if anyone has any suggestions
Is four flaks not a bit hard to maintain as e2p? I currently don’t have earth or ice, but do have pylon. Which flak should I then add?
Yes even 3 might be challenging as e2p once you get to mid game. Personally I like DF and/or Ice flak, and thirdly earth flak
Yeah I think I will stick with the two. Might convert fire to ice. But I have a mythic glyph for fire flak which why I stuck with it for so long.
Will probably only move to a long base once my second perch can take my current defensive rider. But will do it soon
If I have leveled my perch to a 30, but only have a platinum dragon to place on it, is it okay to move my towers to the long island?
Yep! I think It needs lvl 31 actually for max boosts
Can you help me with my base? Im level 620 and dp is still terrible
I'm level 282 will be moving to a large island next fortification, already 1400Days in timers 🤗

Defensive dragon rider and gear might still be on Perch 1 and not Perch 2.

@@TheGrindWarDragonsGuides I have all 3 perches over lvl 30+ with riders/gear.
And you had moved your rider over to the second perch? How much did you lose?
@@TheGrindWarDragonsGuides no, my first perch has a dragon and rider/gear. My 2nd perch has a dragon, rider/gear, as does the last perch, which is also my highest lvl perch, I believe.

Why a Long Island is preferable to be island 4&5 and not 1&2?
You can have more Runes and glyphs if you use island 4-5, and then you can hide your farms and mills behind your towers so it’s harder to reach 70%
@@TheGrindWarDragonsGuides well noted, I currently have islands 1 and 2 because of perch 2 not lvl 30 yet.

Yea for atlas island 1-2 can be better and if you leave the farms and mills a hit lower level then it works good!
Hey the grind, I'm 406 level now. I have 72 level ice turret but I want to exchange it with storm tower .is it beneficial?
Yea you could definitely do that! If you don’t think you’ll use it in the future or need it at all then transform can be a nice instant benefit.
