Understanding the new Champions

Unless there are any major nerfs/boosts in the near future, the champions are going to be definite game changers. Chances are, they're going to make SDTs & THDTs obsolete. They've also made defending OPs virtually impossible. I'm sure there are other things I haven't even though of.

So in light of all this, I would say try them ALL and see which one fits you're play style and personality best. There is no cost to build them, and no penalty for juicing them. Build one, and take him farming. Maybe even attack a neighboring OP. Juice him, then do the same thing with the next one. Then repeat with the 3rd. Also, test how they do in base defense with the WM spray.

Once you've settled on the Champion you want, start using him A LOT! The more you practice with him, the better you'll be. Soon you'll be unstoppable.

Now for the trick?? Well like I said above, there is no cost to build and no penalty for juicing. As long as you don't mind having a lvl 1 Champion, you can attack someone until your champion is near death. Then juice him, rebuild him (or another) and attack again. No need to wait for him to heal. This will be especially frustrating for your opponent when you attack one wave with Gorgo, then come back the next looting wave with Drull.

Now I don't recommend this for the long term. I really think having a well evolved champion monster will outweigh the lack of needing to heal.


By Flounder



Drull prefers to go after towers and resources first before attacking useless buildings.
He will go after the closest RG, TH, Silo, or Defense Tower, Waiting till last to attack other buildings.

Gorgo prefers to go after resources first.
So he will go after Silos, TH, and RG's before anything else.

Fomor prefers to be next to any monsters you fling so he will follow them around and attack what they attack until they die then he will continue attacking anything.

Looking after your Champion
To evolve your champion, you must feed it monsters daily.
The champion does NOT die if it is not fed, it just stops evolving until it's fed again.
Gorgo eats Octo-Ooze and other Tower monsters (like Ichis)
Fomor eats Bolts and Brains
Drull eats pokeys and other anything monsters (like finks)

If your champion runs out of/gets low on health, it will heal itself by a small amount every 5 seconds (in the cage, not while attacking).
If you are attacked before the champion reaches full health, then the champion will defend normally, but start with less hp (making it slightly easier for enemy monsters to take it down).
If a champion's health bar is displayed, it does not have full health (this could be a good way to find someone to attack).

When attacking with your champions, there will be a retreat and hold button.
Retreat will make it retreat, in case you don't want to spend hours healing it (champion will automatically retreat if it's health gets too low; they never die[unless juiced])
Hold is like the - button when flinging regular monsters; it will just remove your champion from the group of monsters you fling in.

Additional Information

Defending:
Monsters Will remain in the Cage if:
-The monster in range is an eye'ra.
-The monster in range is a Flying Monster
-The monster is a Wormzer which hasn't surfaced.

Attacking:
Champions will prefer Towers and Resources (including town hall / silos) over other buildings.

Please give missing info and point out anything inaccurate.

You should state clearly how much % the zafreetis can heal the champ as we already know the facts....

It's 10% right? If not what is it? I need confirmation before I can add it.

Very Nice!

Another tip is that say I have a level 5 Drull it is one feed away from evolving. If I attack someone and the Drull goes down to 0 hp then if I then feed it and it evolves to level 6, it will be back on full health.

So basically evolving them brings them back to 100% hp, and so if you're one feed away from evolving, it'd be smart to attack someone until they're on 0hp, and then get it back up to 100% hp by evolving and attack again.

I copied it for a private forum and there was no need for credits in a private forum.
So I couldn't remember where I got it from to give credit when I copied it from the private forum to here.
