As a player who’s played this game just a bit, here are the best tricks I wish I knew when I first started the game. I get this is alot, but. But. Idk.
DON’T FALL for the REDEEM A REFERAL trap.
When I first started the game, I found out you can “refer” someone which makes it so that you get 100 coffee, alongside more rewards if they level up their stress. I decided to refer someone on a random “Referal Post.” YOU ONLY GET ONE REFERAL, so MAKE IT COUNT!!! I made the mistake of refering someone who didn’t even get to stress level 10 yet… If your looking to refer someone, you should probably do me unless you find someone else, as I will continue to play this game for a while. (Im stress level 18 right now).
SUMMARY: Dont refer someone who doesn’t play the game (you only get 1 referal). If you want, refer me if you want the safest option. (How to referal. click on the horn and cog in between Event and your rank. Options. Scroll till you see Refer a Friend. Input code. Mine is 58a88630adcf2d4d:star:
The best way to get coffee (very boring but effective).
The good news is that this way to get coffee isn’t hard at all, but requires lots of switching tabs… If your tired of waiting for the 5 coffee you get per video, or waiting for your opponent to stop stalling his turn on the last round, do this. Click on the sale dude, go to coffee, free coffee, and do the “Prove your color vision” reward track. You will need to repeat this multiple, multiple, multiple times if you want a good pack real fast. The information on how to complete the task is visible by clicking on it.
What packs are the Best?
This is my opinion, but I have seen the most success with this method. Never buy the red pack (uneasy), sometimes buy the Frightening pack if your bored, but ALWAYS save up for the Scary Pack. Because were also in an event, you should ONLY be saving up for the Scary Pack. Furthermore, if you got some couple hundred coffee, I would buy the terrifying pack. This is because of how the Terrifying pack can have much more chances to get newer phobies that aren’t as boring as some starter phobies. I always purchase Terrifying Packs when I get the chance. If you purchased anything with a buttload of coffee (2000+), I suggest getting only 1 dreadful pack ONLY. I wouldn’t buy the horrific pack, as some uncommon phobies are pretty stinking good compared to some of them. Any other coffee should go to terrifying packs, or a player icon that you like alot (I got the eyeball one really early on).Summary (Buy terrifying packs for more phobies. You will get xp easily through this event right now…
Phobies to upgrade
I suggest upgrading any new phobie that you get that either has a really good ability or great stats. However, if your just really unlucky, upgrade jar cannon any time you get cards, I have razor mouth (The cat) upgraded, K-9000 is crazy good, Cassowary is amazing for killing people who are bad with jar cannon, Bo-mangles is great for lots of situations, Murder wing is also really good for getting early pressure points and killing jar cannon, Grave digger is ok i guess, but it’s better to clear your own walls to make an open map for other phobies, but you don’t really have any yet, such as Repeller. Unbearable is horrible, Sheeping gas is AMAZING for tanky people as you just use ability, Staremaster is SUPER GOOD early on, but deteriorates when you rank up, Eratic is Overrated. I see lots of people upgrading this guy crazy and jar cannon and murder wing chip him off till leapers kill him… He’s ok, but id upgrade him early if you have no mechanical people, as mechanic phobies are really good, and Fishtank is bad. I forgot, contorio in my opinion is bad for his low health. If your a bit ahead of the game, Ginsting is crazy good, people who self-heal are great, and pushers are amazing (I torture people who use characters with 1 movement tile, with my double push strat into holes, etc. (Finnigan + Repeller)), and healers obviously are an eazy carry.SUMMARY: upgrade razormouth a bit, Cassowary as much as possible for overleveled opponent jar cannons (level him up the most), K-9000 a decent amount, little bit less with BoMangles, Lots with Jar cannon and Murder Wing, some with Grave digger, LOTS with Sheeping gas (the 2nd most, under Cassowary (but both should be the same)), little of Eratic, and then upgrade your found phobies. Unmentioned phobies in summary are phobies you shouldn’t upgrade for health, damage, or ability reasons.
How to progress the fastest
When you cue for games, try to do as much as humanly possible so you don’t get stuck in a cycle of games. I like them all at once so when I get on, everyone did their turn, and I just go row by row pretty fast to get as much games going as possible. Games are the only way you can really level up fast, as their tears and xp are great.
Gameplay tips
Damage isn’t important at all. What wins you games is fully killing phobies. I have many games where other people had more damage than me, but focused attacks on phobies out of position are better. If someone captures a panic point, go back a tile or 2, take a jar cannon on a damage tile, get BoJangles in there to prevent enemy pushes. It isn’t bad at all to take an extra attack to the heart by pressure points to focus on a phobie. Finishing off phobies is much more valuable than killing the heart in most cases. Also NEVER resign. Always try to milk as much tears out of enemies as possible. Also, give up murder wing or cassowary over jar cannon. He’s much stronger than you guys think. Also sacrifice the sheep guy for real tanky units who aren’t mechanical.
If mechanical units are annoying you, use murder wing +cassowary, use boJangles, k-9000, and staremaster, but try to save up for eratic.- Extras: If you hit the max amount of XP or tears, stop playing and wait for tommorow. Sorry bud, but ranking up can be really bad for you right now if your trying to get more phobies. 4 out of like 9 games i can play right now where I win on my next turn. Resist it.
- Extras: Really strong units you will face will be squiggly (Hurts heart REAL bad, like 1000 damage a turn), Ludwig i think his name is (600 damage per hit, 700 health, only 2 keys), murder wing (easy counter and flight over map), jar cannon (Overleveled people LOVE this card. I had one guy with a level 14 jar cannon while my highest phobie was a level 6 cassowary. Eratic will also be really strong against you, also because of overleveled people, and thats about it!
Have fun guys. Note that im not really that good, and I have been playing for only a month now, but I am currently 2085 ASYNC score, and 1742 in arena with super underleveled cards. I have 2 people at level 7, 3 at 6, and the rest are at level 4. Im facing some crazy leveled dudes in the 11’s range.
