Mid April Progress

My Heartbreaker is now almost done with experience, currently at 199ee.  So it's time for a progress post.  Here's the last progress post.  Two days after that post, I rolled this:

Heartbreaker goes to college.

Oh my!  My Heartbreaker had a mediocre talent and I was bringing her up anyway.  So, obvious place to put it.  (As I said before, HB is now almost done.  Got a lot of books from this enlightenment.)

I went ahead and spent big fame to bring Harpy Queen's scatter talent to 8.  This prepares me for HBM III when I am ready for that.  Meanwhile, it's useful in LBF.

Ready for demon scattering.

Also I evo'ed and booked her to 180e.  Later I brought her up to 181e so she'd be easier to find among all my other heroes at 180.

Literally the next day, I rolled this:

Grimfiend gets more dangerous.

Another Scatter 5!  Nice.  I wish I'd have rolled it before spending all that fame on HQ.  But oh well.

There have been three Spend Gems and Win events.  In the first, didn't get much.  I did get a Pixie dupe:

Spare Pixie #3

This is my 3rd Pixie dupe, so now I can double-evo her without paying shards.  Not sure I will do it, though, because fame is quite finite and she seems distinctly C grade at this point in the game.  I no longer snipe much, so I see little need for her.  Currently I use her only as bait for the Rage Goblin.  This does use her scatter, but otherwise could be many heroes.

In the second SG&W, I rolled an Aries:

Aries dupe.

This was my third dupe.  So, given the books I was getting from HB I went ahead and devo'ed Aries.

Another day, another devo.

Aries is now 199ee.

Here's a roll from the most recent SG&W, last Monday:

Double purple.

The GF is my first dupe for him (he's already evo'ed though; paid shards).  So that's nice but won't be used for some time.  The Vlad is a first dupe and my Vlad is still non-evo level 1.  So that is quite welcome, assuming I do bring him up.  Not sure I will yet.  Vlad seems nice but rather outdated.  I'd use him in HBM for sure.  Not sure about LBF.  And pretty sure nowhere else.

On the talent front, I got a Revive 4 which I put on my Valentina.  I have a level 4 Revite crest set on her, and she is now helping me in Arena (go ahead and laugh) and the Lost Battlefield.

Valentina ready for battle.

I got two Level 5 Talent Chests.  One was from the Lucky Goblin (in Castle Crisis) and the other was from a Fortress Feud.  The first contained Lifedrain 5.  This is not an awful talent, but all of my top guys already have a decent talent.  Except my Aries, with Lifedrain 3.  Lifedrain 3 really is enough for most of my uses.  Still, what the heck, it doesn't hurt him.  

The second Level 5 Talent Chest yielded up Tenacity.  Also pretty crap as talents go.  On the other hand... now that I live by cheese alone in GW, I was reasonably content with it:

Ghoulem gets 30% more hitpoints.

Corrode was always a placeholder on my Ghoulem.  Tenacity is not GH's best talent, but it's quite decent on him.  I have not decided whether to spend the 3000 fame for 15% more hitpoints.

I did a quest in between writing this.  Heartbreaker made it to 200ee.  And look, I just happened to have a level 5 talent sitting around!

I didn't tell you about this level 5.

Well, it's something.  Enlightenment is nothing at this point.  So on it goes.

One other thing worth mentioning: my highest GW score to date by far:

Cha-ching.  Cheesing FTW.

This is purely due to cheesing.  This is one of the rare GWs when I could cheese many bases well above 200000 might, and I cheesed all five bases successfully.  (That is, all three stars.  It's easy to screw it up and get two.)
