Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords

[quote name='banpeikun']oh yeah forged items are tons better than anything you can possibly get otherwise, save a few unbalanced weapons, like the firewalker's staff.

i have equipment that gives +24 red mana +24 yellow mana +16 green mana to start the match (in addition to what you get from mastery), +5 to all mana whenever i match 4, and a few random morale and wind mastery.[/quote]that my friend is sick :applause:

Edit: btw banpeikun, might want to add spoilers tags to that little tidbit of info you just put about lord...., i don't much care but others might
 
[quote name='banpeikun']okay i put spoiler tags around the part i think you were talking about. (i didn't think it was a spoiler i guess haha)[/QUOTE]

[quote name='Milkyman']any tips on forging? forgery? forgering? im like level 49 and never tried it[/quote]i think forging is really hard. i think researching spells is 10x easier.

with forging, i have the most luck just working on clearing the board until there's a few (3-5) anvils on the board. i work them close to each other until i can put three of them in a row. next easiest is to blow one up with a red skull, and every now and then i clear one with a 4-set. i've never gotten more than one anvil with the 4-set so i don't try for those very much. hope that helps. if you have to clear something that takes more than 12 or 15 anvils, you just kind of have to be lucky. i get more "no more moves possible" with forging than anything else.

Forging is all about Stupid Luck. It's worthwhile to do though, as you can get some sick and powerful items.


I think right now I'm using a Tome of Fire, which is +6 to Cunning, +18 to starting Red Mana. It's pretty nice.
 
anybody played this on the pc yet? i just dled the demo...gonna check it out later. just wanted a comparison to the ds...i've played neither.
 
[quote name='mcgavin27']how can i beat the two headed ogre guy? I am a level 22 wizard and I just can't beat him.[/QUOTE]

shamed to admit it but i was in your same situation and eventually i just turned the difficulty to easy and beat him that way.
 
take more time on your turns and see if you're setting up any skulls for him. being able to flaming skulls and have the next turn is very powerful. if you some combination of 4 red/blues or skull/greens then cast it and set up chains of 4s. also you can use web (spider mount) to make sure you get the next turn after flaming skulls also.
 
[quote name='Milkyman']do you lose your runes if you fail at forging?[/quote]nah, i would've flipped out like an ape if that happened

The way I got through some of the tougher guys was to make sure I took away their most needed mana on my turns, even giving up things I may need. And, as a wizard, doing mana drains. Takes away their ability to do major harm, heal, etc. Then just hack away at them when the opening is there.

I lost a few times to Dugog before I changed strategy. I chose equipment that augmented damage whenever I did damage; instead of doing 5 damage for lining up 3 skulls, I could get 10 or 11. This helped a lot.

It also seemed to help by going after gold if I had no really good move. Dugog gets an extra turn for matching gold, and you can't stop him all the time, but letting him have it all resulted in too many free turns for him.
 
I actually prefer Erik's bow to the Firewalker.


The bow does: Adds +1 damage per 5 levels whenever you deal 3 or more.

Since I blow through red mana like it's nothing (love you, fireball), the bow will add more damage over time, and be more consistent.
 
[quote name='banpeikun']firewalker's staff is really awesome for wizards[/quote]

Just got that last night. I was using Erik's Bow and the Great Axe (50% chance of another turn if you do 3 or more damage) before that.

You guys had me all scared about Dugog. I beat him in three tries (I think I was still using the Great Axe, which probably helped). And that third time wasn't even all that stressful. I'm using a level 21 wizard riding a level 9 griffon.

I've done a considerable amount of forging and it's not THAT hard. I find learning spells from captives to be more difficult. There's nothing worse than having all but one of the categories satisfied and then running out of moves. Compared to that, getting 3 or 4 anvils is a cinch. What are your favorite forged items? I just made a Manual of Fire (or Tome of Fire, can't remember which) that gives 12 red mana (!!!) at the beginning of each match.

I answered a post about how to beat the "two-headed ogre", which I thought was a different 2 headed ogre than Dugog. (Now I can't remember if that exists or what it was called...)

Well, then I realized the person *was* talking about Dugog and I hadn't beaten him yet. Beat him last night in 1 try as a level 17. Surprisingly, using the same strategy I posted about.
