Certainly! Here's the English translation of your guide for QAQ teammates, keeping the tone, structure, and detailed advice intact:
[Alliance Team Guide for QAQ Members]
I. Recommended Current Lineup (Focused on Yellow Cards)
Frontline:
- Best: Judicator, Rose Princess
- Alternatives: Tavern Owner, Keeper of Secrets
- Backups: Keeper of Secrets (Warrior type), Knight (Purple card)
Midline:
- Best: Saint, Bishop (Saint should be placed behind Judicator)
- Alternatives: Nun (or Priest), Bard
- Backups: Priest (Purple card), Ranger (Purple card)
Backline:
- Best: Fire Mage, Nun (place behind Bishop)
- Alternatives: Fire Mage, Stargazer
- Backups: Fire Mage, Old Mage (Purple card)
II. Core Concepts
- Alliance Faction Bonus:
Deploying 4 or more Yellow or Red Alliance heroes grants faction buffs (up to +35% HP & Attack). - Blue Cards Are Usable:
Until you collect enough Yellow cards, max-starred Blue cards can still perform decently. - Some Purple Cards Are Viable:
Knight and Priest can be moderately invested in for early game support. - Fire Mage Is the Alliance MVP:
Invest heavily. He is the top-tier DPS with power near Red-card level. - Judicator Is the Best Tank:
A must-have frontliner. Others like Tavern Owner or Keeper of Secrets are inferior in tanking. - Bard Is Better Than Stargazer:
Bard offers crowd control and better utility in PvP. - Avoid Using Off-Faction Yellow Cards Early On:
Unless you're investing resources into that faction, a max-star non-Yellow card is often better than a low-star Yellow one.
III. Faction Selection Strategy
- Recommended: Alliance
You can assemble a strong core team without spending money. Fire Mage and Judicator provide a solid foundation. - Not Recommended: Horde
Too hard to collect 6 Yellow cards without spending heavily. - Neutral: Nature
Good healing and tanking, but lacks reliable DPS and has skill downtime without heavy investment.
IV. Resource Investment Advice
Troops:
- Most players choose between Cavalry and Shield Troops.
- Cavalry is better for combat.
- Shields are good for extra carrying capacity (+18%) if you only focus on PvE.
- Yellow troops are exclusive to one team, while Blue/Purple troops are shared.
Equipment Upgrade Order:
- Tank roles to +20 full set (Imprints: Armor → Helmet)
- Fire Mage to +20 full set (Imprints: Weapon → Boots)
- Others to +20 (DPS: Weapon → Boots; Tanks: Armor → Helmet; Healers same as DPS; Support same as Tanks)
- Then to +30 → +40 → Equipment breakthrough (prioritize DPS and Tank at 3:2 ratio)
Skill Books:
- Invest only in Alliance. Max out skills to boost damage ratios.
Yellow Hero Fragment Priority:
- Phase 1: Tank Yellow 5★ → Fire Mage Red 5★ → Others Yellow 5★
- Phase 2: Tank Red 3★ → Others Red 3★ → Fire Mage Sky Blue 1★ + Awakening
- Phase 3: Tank Sky Blue 1★ + Awakening → Fire Mage Max★ + Awakening 4 → Others Sky Blue 1★ + Awakening
- Phase 4: By now, you should have learned your characters' specialties—probably a year into playing!
PS:
- If you have Red Cards, unlock their 6th skill first.
- Red cards are stronger than Yellow ones, so prioritize them right after Fire Mage.
V. Final Note
If you're a free-to-play or light spender, Alliance is hands down the most cost-efficient faction.
Your core should revolve around Judicator, Fire Mage, and Nun, with other slots filled by Bard, Keeper, or Tavern Owner depending on availability.
