onslaught or barbarus?

[CyberSharkBoy]

ive got orc king already so i dont see mutch point, so i was going to go for onlsaught to test my luck, what do u guys suggest? go for the general seeing as i have a 100% chance of a general or go for barbarus thanx

[_Anty_]

I'd still go Barbarus, it gives you a few more options.

[tricker]

I try to get all of the bi-monthly generals, so I vote for Barbarus.

if you have the orc king buy a monthly you didn't buy before or go for the chest

[Azraelswrd]

If you need souls, get the monthly. If you feel lucky, get the chest.

And we meet again Azraelswrd and I'd like to pick off your knowledge once again. Kinda caught in a quandary here. I just started playing last month and dont have all the hot shot generals. So this month I picked up Scarlett and then Barbarus. Gambled on 4 Onslaught chests, got Anwar and pretty much zilch for the other three
The question is, I have about 60FP to burn. Do I go for Kaiser ( or any other general besides Scarlett) or should I try out the chests once more.. I know.. tough decision, but I thought you might be able to help me out on this one.

And what exactly did you mean by "if you need souls".. just couldnt understand what that meant.

Thanks

If you want sure bet generals it is always better to buy one of the past or current monthlies. With the chests there is always the chance you just get commons.

Which monthly general (or two) would you suggest I buy, in that case?

[Azraelswrd]

Oh, by souls I mean some generals require having a bunch of heroes on the sidelines to enhance their effect.

Malekus, Ambrosia, Azeron, and Kaylen get fatter with a crowd.
Mephistopheles, Chase, Artanis, and Crom let you bring more heroes during invasions.

These guys/gals need all the heroes you can find to make you (and them) stronger. If you're on a budget, buy what you need.

thanx guys :P i go for cool looks seeing as i have every general i will ever need thus no point in neither throwing it away on a chest or getting a general that is just there to be there.
ive looked through the onslaught chest and the generals abilities and the only generals with any sort of usefulness is azeron and aurora, does any1 agree that the generals from the 20 tp chest is way better.

Thanks mate! Just one last query.. I'm considering going for the generals instead of trying out my luck on those chests for now at least. If you had to choose from the list of monthly generals so far leaving aside Scarlett and Barbarus, which ones would you choose?

I know Kaiser is pretty much redundant for criticals without his back-draft, so I'm effectively losing out buying one general for the price of the back-draft or near abouts.

Would you suggest I plump for Kaiser and his back-draft or go for Slayer and another general ( if so which one)

Thanks for bearing up with my nuisance value lol

[Azraelswrd]

They all have their uses but ultimately, it comes down to a balance between need and want. I have most of the top epics so any general is a good general as they augment Malekus and Mephy. I have no interest in Alpha chest. Vanguard chest for Lotus because I like her look. Onslaught.... maybe if I want more orc marauders but that's about it.


What's wrong with Kaiser? Even without backdraft, he's slightly better than Slayer. Of course, if you already have Slayer and are on a budget then I wouldn't get him. Other than Scarlett, I recommend Minerva simply because of her max stamina boost.

[Etrnlwanderer]

Alrighty! I guess I'll browse around the wiki and see if I can find 2 generals I am drawn to buying right away, or I'll probably just pick up one and give my measly luck another run on the onslaught chest and keep my fingers crossed lol

Btw, is it possible to "accidentally" buy more than one of the same monthly generals and if yes, does it stack up ? Just to allay my fears that I dont end up buying another barbarus again today lol

[LilKayla]

Check out the generals and their abilities and go with what you think suits you best. Also think about what one you will use the most if you have them.

No you cannot have more than one of the same general. period.

Thank you for all the inputs Azraelswrd and LilKayla
