The next mobile sensation is asserting its authority and it goes by the name of World of Warriors.
This iOS phenomenon has racked up over 80,000 reviews since its release and nearly 63,000 likes on Facebook, making it a wildly successful freemium mobile game.
However, as most free-to-play games tend to demand, you’re forced to choose between grinding tirelessly or paying for premium content to get ahead. Here are 10 tips to keeping your hard-earned money in your pocket, while continuing to excel in Mind Candy’s World of Warriors.
1 – Stay on Top of the Achievements Tab
Unlike the majority of video games (where a level up or new item incurred lights, noise, and mild celebration) World of Warriors tends to be subtle about rewards you may have unlocked along the way.
Stay attentive and open up your Achievements menu frequently to stay ahead of the curve, keeping you from spending unnecessary money.
2 – Stay on Top of Your Daily Rewards
Mirroring the concern stated above, your Daily Rewards are also available to you every day, whether you actually play the game or not.
If you’re too busy to sit down and play the game a bit, at least open the application and collect your rewards daily. Each day you open the game you’re rewarded 5 blue gems, which is the main currency provided in the game.
However, if you log in 5 days in a row you’ll be rewarded a red crystal, which is much more rare and used to unlock powerful fighters.
3 – Utilize the Portal for XP potions on Sundays
Just like the Rare Candy in Pokemon, the Portal in World of Warriors grants you XP potions that will level up your warriors quicker than just grinding.
You win XP potions by winning battles within the Portal. Continue to fight on other days to earn other prizes that will aid you on your journey to the top without offering any cash.
4 – Spend Time Looking for Treasure
Depending on which side of the fence you’re on, this may sound fantastic or downright excruciating. However, if you’re willing to spend the time, venturing around the map will give you access to many items you would have missed otherwise.
True of any game, the more trash mobs you find and kill, however tedious, will continue to raise the bar of your fighting capacity.
5 – Keep Crafting Your Talismans
In order to progress faster in the game, you’ll need to be swift and strong in combat. One aspect of fighting in World of Warriors is to equip talismans, which grant you extra bonuses in combat.
Craft these in the Foundry using any recipes and materials you’ve gathered along your adventures. Always remember to craft as many as you can to keep your gameplay ball rolling.
6 – Prepare Your Fighters For Combat
At the beginning of each fight, players are given the opportunity to choose with order the warrior will fight in, much like Pokemon.
Using this screen to your advantage can make the difference between cruising through a battle, and using your time efficiently, to spending an agonizing amount of your precious minutes.
Note on Using the Elements in Your Favor
Expanding on the previous point, choosing your warriors based on their elements is a very important aspect of combat you should keep in mind.
If you see the enemy’s warrior is equipped with fire, you should counter this with a water warrior of your own and so on. The key is fight smarter, not harder.
Water beats Fire
Fire beats Earth
Earth beats Air
Air beats Water
7 – Fight Patiently and Efficiently
In order to increase your effectiveness in the game, fighting the battle with intellect and patience (rather than attempting to finish it as fast as you can) can keep you on track to play without spending money.
Timing is Everything
All of your attacks in combat are based on reaction time. For example, your basic attacks will do increased damage if you stop the diamond as close to the red line as possible.
Even your special abilities are based on timing, with different obstacles to overcome for each one. Keeping a steady hand and your concentration will improve your combat, increasing your overall efficiency.
Stick to Area of Effect (AOE) Damage
Decrease combat time even further by saving your boost potions for special ability attacks that will hit more than one opponent at a time.
By focusing your damage on the entire enemy fleet, rather than just one at a time, you’ll be winning battles at an accelerated pace, granting you more time to play the game for free.
Be Ready to Tap Your Rewards
During combat rewards will periodically drop both while you’re fighting and also after the KO.
Nonetheless, these prizes won’t last forever. Stay focused to make sure you don’t drop the ball while picking up your rewards (tap or swipe to collect). The more the collect the more features you’ll be able to use!
Keep the Training Coming
Take advantage of the training feature of World of Warriors will ultimately increase your ability to excel in the game as well, providing you with stronger warriors.
Be that as it may, you’ll want to time your training carefully as that warrior will become unusable during that time. Before going to sleep, or during a time when you can’t play, is an ideal time to train your warriors.
Note: Don’t use the red crystals to open another training slot. Red crystals are much more valuable and can be utilized in better ways (expanded on below).
8 – Taking Advantage of Talismans
As I mentioned earlier, talismans are a fantastic way to improve combat and increase the speed in which you complete it.
On the other hand, these talismans should also be used carefully, as they degenerate with each use. Players can equip up to 3 for each warrior, giving an insane statistical boost.
Knowing that these talismans only have a limited shelf life, I would recommend not equipping them when you’re fighting smaller and less trying battles.
9 – Use your Red Crystals Wisely
With multiple forms of currency in this mobile game, it’s easy to get confused about the value of the different types of coinage.
The Red Crystals, or Wildstones, are by far the most important and are used to excel in the game. These can be purchased with real money, but if you know their value early on, you can save them for the most important purchases.
The Door of Epics
Ten of these Red Crystals can open the Door of Epics which grants you with a fierce warrior that is at least rare or higher. Saving your crystals for this door is the smartest way to spend them, so use them with care.
10 – Use Your Blue Crystals Wisely
The blue crystals are your main form of currency, as you can gift them to others and vice versa. Link up with as many friends who play the game as you can and utilize this social media feature by collecting as many of these crystals as possible.
The Honor Door
Once you’ve collected a sufficient amount of blue crystals, you can open the Honor Door. This is a great way to spend these because you’ll be issued more talismans and potions for combat.
Overall
With these tips to grinding World of Warriors more efficiently, you should have almost no down time while playing the game.
Using your time smarter and more efficiently is the most important aspect to playing the game without having to spend real money to be a superior player.
