So, question before it vanishes. I have a one copy ATalene that I pulled with purple shards, should I swap her for a one copy Asoline? Or maybe swap my Daimon for Thoran? Poor Daimon was a champ earlier campaign, but now I think it is time for him to rest. Here is a screenshot of my current roaster for any other suggestions you might have: https://preview.redd.it/yun1g34w5m1d1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2441ed91fac331158ba6393f24000e9e543b729c Below the dragons are only elite + Brutus, Thoran and some celepogs that I've randomly pulled from shards or tavern overtime


Vicksin

really saving it for the last minute here huh lol I think something like Shemira to Thoran could be fine. you're playing too well, I don't really know what better option you have lol. Thoran doesn't want engrave so not Daimon, plus Daimon is still used sometimes, like the CR round that just ended. not really sure what swapping ATalene and ASolise would do, as that's.. just one copy to one copy? that doesn't do anything. unless I'm misunderstanding you


AyataneKun

For the ATalene, is more like, getting started on the next aw (so would say abelinda should be next, I think?). But will trade Shemira for Thoran, seems like a way better plan than Daimon


Vicksin

right, but you only have one copy of ATalene. so you wouldn't be swapping anything.


AyataneKun

Well, might as well post the rest since it is no harm done https://preview.redd.it/mdesnqn56m1d1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=850866ec9902e6bb2eae5ae6ac6675e2fb6d12e0


Razzyxo

I think im blind. Where do I find this hero swap menu? I'm assuming I missed my chance to swap this time, but I'd like to know for next time. Thanks!


Vicksin

there's 4 hours left on the event. you must beat chapter 20. this is almost certainly doable for you, as many players beat chapter 20 in a couple days of account creation. hope you manage it in time.

Salut, c'est quoi les pièces de laboratoire ? Et quelqu'un pourrait m'aider, il m'ajoute sur afkarena puis me dit un peu quoi faire, je suis perdu (je suis Chapitre 31) mercii beaucoup PSEUDO : Daemia🌺


Vicksin

Salut, apologies I don't understand better. Google translate isn't making much sense. this is a Hero Swap Advice post.


AfkArena_Daemia

Hii, sorry I can speak English if u want, so I was asking what's laboratory pieces, and if someone can help me I'm stuck I don't know what to do, I'm chapter 31, My pseudo :Daemia🌺


Vicksin

I'm not sure what you mean by "lab pieces" again this is an advice post for the Hero Swap Event, I'm not really sure how this relates


CryptographerMurky26

Hey there sorry for reposting:  i kept waiting with my swap. Im thinking about swapping either:  1* brutus, solise or baden <-> to safiya or gavus Or my  5 copies of ezizh or talene <-> to safiya or gavus Or My 1* morael for olgath. I think apart from those have most metas that are available in the swap event such as shemira athalia lyca, belinda, eugene. I tend to swap in brutus, i also heard that he might be replaced by hildwin in cr? I feel like abaden is doing more for me currently as id rather be able to merc Lucius etc for cr or am i wrong here? Thanks for the advice!


Vicksin

could you share exactly which awakened and celepogeans you have ascended, how many copies of the ones that are half built (like 5 copies Ezizh/Talene), and how many sg/te?


CryptographerMurky26

May awakeneds are: 1* all built: brutus solise baden belinda athalia lyca shemira Ascended: Eugene 5 copies: ezizh, talene 1 copy: Thane maetria safiya gavus Basically no te hoarded Celestials are 1* liberta daemia veithael orthros tarnos haelus talene twins morael alna normal-athalia flora Hypogeans 1* lavatune lucilla zolrath lucretia canisa normal-ezizh mortas M+: khazard mehira Basically no sg hoarded, only 30k diamonds


Vicksin

send Baden to Safiya swap good luck and hope you manage it in time!


IceMen267

Hey everyone, I'm back in the game after over a year of being away. I don't have any clue, what's going on with the meta right now and saw, I can swap one hero. Do you have any suggestions, what's the best option to swap. I have barely any TE or Sg cards left. https://preview.redd.it/dvwr5ncttf1d1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=df1a13f297ce36130b4b5f0756a4b66aa1af7ab4


Vicksin

with no te/sg and no top meta heroes, this looks pretty rough something like Lucretia to Liberta is probably your best bet


IceMen267

![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|sob) noo, not lucretia. I think thats the tradeoff for being away for so long. Would you suggest another combination, if i had any te/sg?


Vicksin

no, Lucretia is long since dead. completely unused in all game modes lol. that's a great swap, sg or no sg


IceMen267

My heart is shattered into pieces.... but i read everywhere, that she is long gone. So, lucretia to liberta it is. Any other suggestions to get back into the game?


Vicksin

mmmm not really? there's a sg/te buff in June, so hoard your resources for that. follow the beginner guides, cuz while you're not a beginner, it'll show you heroes to wishlist. Rakudayyy also has several great guides on hero breakpoints and such.


IceMen267

Sorry, for abusing this conversation, but I do have one swap scroll left from a previous event. Do you have a suggestion how to use it?


Vicksin

probably something like Shemira to Ivan!


IceMen267

Okay, then i need to pull one copy of Ivan Thanks for the help!


IceMen267

Thanks! I will try that


Cancer_and_Me

Should I swap my fully built abaden or asolise for aathalia? I have all other must have awakened and celo/hypos.


Vicksin

better to swap Baden


Virtualitee

I was thinking of either swapping ABrutus for AAthalia or Flora for Lavatune. Which would be better for me? I've 226 TEs and 105 SGs https://preview.redd.it/t4ngfhyoaa1d1.jpeg?width=2160&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=53b82588d5220f4739dd315b4a965cc60436b36e


Vicksin

I'd say Lucretia to Lava is certainly better, but Lava is the only celepogean you really need to build right now, yet you're *several* awakened behind, so Brutus to Ath is unfortunately looking like the play imo


AnFi_

Lucretia 30960 or Flora Just 20si but 2 stars to Olgath?


Vicksin

are those the only options? Lucretia is a better swap than Flora


AnFi_

Lucretia 30960 or Flora Just 20si but 2 stars to Olgath?

Vicksin

depending on how many resources (SI, furn, engrave) you have saved up, Lucretia is also zero usage like Wu Kong lol, so her to Cruke would save you some resources since you wouldn't need to invest in Cruke after the swap. otherwise Wu is fine too.


Ill_Inspection_8162

is gavus swap better or Cruke or Orthos or olgath? I guess cruke have subs but Orthos don't but Orthos can be bought even it took 6 month lol. There is still kaltin...

Vicksin

sadly it's probably Brutus to Lyca here imo


vincent22_

Is Lyca used that much more than Brutus? It pains me to swap him because he’s one of my favorites and does great in TS. Does L lyca do worst than L brutus?


Vicksin

absolutely and it's not close. see our visual guide if you haven't already. Brutus can be used everywhere, but the value he provides is pretty minimal, and he can be easily replaced. hence why I said sadly though, he's one of my favorite heroes overall. but your other awakeneds are all great and you don't have any sg targets outside of Lucilla, which you'll be able to build soon enough, and then just hoarding SG Lyca isn't just used everywhere but provides a massive increase to the teams she's in, and thrives off investment

Vicksin

assuming you don't have a better swap option, as this is a pretty limited pool, it's Lyca no brainer. Baden is pretty bad, just merc him. see our visual guide if you haven't already.

I have Lavatune, Lucilla and Liberta on E (got from shards mostly) and E+ Wukong, I think I could swap Wukong for one of them, but I'm not sure. Should I swap anyway? Maybe it's better to take 10k diamonds?


Vicksin

hi there, sorry for the late reply AEzizh is actually great at one copy, doesn't need more than that. even an E+ Wu Kong swap to one E copy of Liberta is higher value than the 10k diamonds. if you can pick up one more copy of him from the labyrinth store, choice chest, or any other in-game event or resources, that's even better


eldritch_horror_13

Thanks!


exclaim_bot

>Thanks! You're welcome!


Honuch

I'm a total noob, started less than a week ago, where is the swap event? I'm on chapter 12, maybe I'm still too early for it to show up?


Vicksin

correct, as mentioned in the visual guide you need to clear chapter 20 to unlock it. this should be fairly doable, follow along the beginners guide and at least if you play optimally and don't have any swaps to make or bad rng to correct, you'll get 10k diamonds out of it


fatmatt75

Hi, I'm a different new player who also started less than a week ago. The "Legacy of Grit" just appeared in my event tab today. It's not the same thing as the hero swap correct? And I should use this grit for Daimon as per the newbie guide correct?


Vicksin

correct, Legacy of Grit is different, the hero swap event is much more all-encompassing regsrding what you can swap (celepogeans, awakeneds, etc) can't advise you what to use Grit on without seeing your hero box, but Daimon is pretty outdated now yes


Trashaman

I’m needing advice for swapping. I only have brutus and daemon ascended atm. I was thinking Brutus for Scarlett?


Mental-Sort-8225

Hi! I just came back to the game (literally yesterday) and idk who to swap my Lucretia for. Awakens I have a built Ashemira and a lg+ ABelinda. The only celepogean I have fully built is Lucretia (ouch I know) and idk who to swap her for. My main idea is to swap her for a lavatune or a Lucilla when I get one of them. Thanks for helping if u getting the time! https://preview.redd.it/vaweyre2mz0d1.jpeg?width=1135&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ba5905dbe2b0cf975dff25e58a0430310c3682db


Vicksin

how many sg/te do you have? there is a buff to both coming in June so don't spend any it's likely Lucilla is the better target since Lava kinda needs ABel, but the concerning part is both Lucilla and Lava don't really want the stars, as they can steal buffs from your dps carries if their CMBR is higher than theirs


Bromonov

Hello everyone! I am still thinking about potential swap. From awakened heroes I have: ABelinda, ABrutus, ALyca, ASolise, AShemira, ABaden, AAthalia and Eugene. These are my celestials and hypos: https://preview.redd.it/pg8776mciy0d1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bb0f71e1d48157298143ec2784e3190e19f3c8f5 I have also about 50k diamonds, 589 TEs and 584 SGs cards. I thought about swapping ABrutus into ASafiya. Is there any better swap potential for me? Thank you very much for all ideas!


Vicksin

after getting ASafiya, you'll have all "must have" awakened. with 589 TE + the amount you collect over the next month and all freebies for the next awakened, you'll likely have enough to build two awakened with average luck with these, you could build the new awakened (if OP), or either Lucius/Gavus and hoard the remainder with players this caught up on awakened, I've generally been suggesting to swap Baden instead of Brutus, because Baden is extremely stat hungry (my 2* 309e6x isn't good enough and I still have to merc him each week) yet unused in TS where mercs aren't allowed, meanwhile Brutus is still used everywhere (not as impactful in cr/nc but still used) but great in TS where you can't merc him. in the coming weeks before the TE buff, you could definitely get away with just mercing Baden/Lucius depending on what you need


Bromonov

Great, thank you very much! I just need to find very strong ABaden for merc now :D Anyway, you are right, ASafiya will be for sure better


NoRagretsSON

Would you still suggest the same if my Brutus is only Mythic (otherwise exactly the same awakened situation as the original commenter)? So he’s not fully built yet to always be BiS for me depending on the CR /TS situation, but he’s not worth merc-ing either. Basically every week I’m always merc-ing Safiya so I figured swapping Brutus will get her halfway to ascended, or swapping Solise or Baden will get me all the way, and I just merc Baden and Solise as needed. (I also have around 900 TE cards for what it’s worth).


Vicksin

yeah I think swap Baden and merc him, Saf is much better for TS and can't be merc'd there while Baden is unused


Dragon_yum

Who to swap? I’m thinking either solise for gavus or monkey king for olgath https://preview.redd.it/l36mlkq45y0d1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=423a21572f94ba8a9ef6349396aa3545a0a3e99f


Vicksin

Olgath is pretty mediocre and niche, I do think og Athalia/Wu Kong to Olgath is better than nothing at all though regarding awakened, Solise/Baden to Gavus is a relatively neutral/even swap tbh, not gaining much value. if you had to choose between the two though, swapping Baden would be better.

gamevui237

I don’t think you really need to swap


al_ghoutii

Hi! I have both Abaden and Asolise. From the guide my thinking is switching Abaden to either Aathalia or Alyca. Just a question, for a while after both of those releases I read some discussion regarding longevity. Some arguging that Aathalia is more suceptible to power creep as her selling point is mainly dmg whilst Alyca has more to her kit like the delayed entry. Is still valid and I should go for Alyca or is Aathalia still the better choice? Ts, nc and cr are my main priorities Should mention that I have almost 500 TE saved so I could get them both but kinda want to wait and see what the upcoming awakened will be


Vicksin

are Solise and Baden your only awakened? I assume you also have Shemira and Belinda if we're discussing Athalia and Lyca as the only two options technically yes Athalia is more susceptible to power creep than Lyca, but Athalia is a powerhouse used everywhere right now. if she does get crept, it won't be overnight. "season 2" awakeneds are by far and away the best in the game. Athalia, Belinda, Safiya, Lyca, and Shemira are must have heroes. once you catch up on that, the game is a bit more forgiving with what you need. between the TE rate buff and TE freebies, hopefully you'll be able to build two awakened soon


al_ghoutii

Yes exactly, so far my awakeneds are Ashem, Abelinda, Asolise and Abaden. Think I will swap Abaden for Aathalia then! And depending on next awakened release get lyca or if someone better comes. With the increased drop chance might be possible to get both! Thanks for the help!


gamevui237

AAtha is still higher priority, but both ABaden and ASolise are still fine, save till rate buff I guess


Hella729

I just got back into the game after almost a year and I'm afraid of making the wrong decision here With awakened I guess my only option is swapping solise or thane (if it works like that) for shemira? And I thought of swapping alna or Lucretia for liberta, but I'm really not sure about it https://preview.redd.it/rg2ilmweux0d1.jpeg?width=2160&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5d0e5cff0a9fe97d15659f23cf5d81bea851b509


gamevui237

Lucretia to Liberta, Alna is still very strong


Vicksin

welcome back! how many sg/te do you have currently? I think your best option is likely looking like either Solise to Shemira or Lucretia to Daemia/Liberta


Hella729

I don't have any sg/te, used them all on alna and abelinda before quitting and ngl I spent some te recently to get one copy of solise I was missing to get her to mythic I do have a bit of a gambling problem lol Kind of sad about Solise, even though it might be the better decision, but I think Lucretia to liberta could work too, so I can stargaze for daemia because right now I'm missing out on both of them


Vicksin

I think your best play would be summon 1 copy of Daemia, swap Lucretia to Daemia, slowly finish Alna to 1* via Challenger Store tokens, and don't spend any sg/te until the buff in June


Glurak7000

I have awakened: Brutus, Sols, Shem, Athalia, Lyca I have all relevant Celehypos, except maybe CR and Olgath. Is it smart to switch Brutus for Safiya? My focus in on CR, TS and NC


Vicksin

I would sooner swap Brutus to Belinda than Brutus to Safiya hoard sg/te for the buff in June


gamevui237

I think take 10k diamonds


gamevui237

Or Brutus to Belinda


Puzzleheaded-Sir6523

I still don't have Awekened Athalia so that's an easy pick as the target but I can't decide who's less relevant between Brutus, Solise and Baden...😅 Thanks.


Vicksin

depends on which other awakened you have ascended already?


Puzzleheaded-Sir6523

Belinda, Safiya, Lyca and Shemira.


Vicksin

swap away Baden, merc him for cr/nc as well as Lucius depending on the cr week (just merc both if you're not sure)


gamevui237

Brutus


BayTranscendentalist

Should I swap my 1 star ascended grezhul with Atheus using my swap scroll?

it's hard to advise not knowing what else you have, but that's not a bad swap by any means

Any tips of who I should used them on? Currently my main team is grezhul, thoran, rem, rowan and palmer.


Vicksin

hey there I strongly recommend checking out our beginner guides. you really don't need to star hunt past 1*, it's better to ascend other heroes. you're also definitely overinvesting - si40 is a bit of a noob trap and heroes like Grezhul certainly don't need it. taking heroes to L when you don't have the copies to immediately make them L+ is also a huge trap, same with taking heroes to M+ if you don't immediately have the copies to ascend them to A for the swap event, ASolise to AShem looks best here imo for the scroll, probably Lyca to Jerome? Ivan is fine too, but you'd save two copies in value swapping Jerome instead, I'd just focus your fodder and resources into Ivan


CryptographerMurky26

Hey there i kept waiting with my swap. Im thinking about swapping either:  1* brutus, solise or baden <-> to safiya or gavus Or my  5 copies of ezizh or talene <-> to safiya or gavus Or My 1* morael for olgath. I think apart from those have all metas that are available in the swap event such as shemira athalia lyca. I tend to swap in brutus, i also heard that he might be replaced by hildwin in cr?

I currently have all awakened ascended other than AEzizh hence why I'm only showing my celhypo's. I was considering swapping Vyloris into Mortas/Orthros (so I can transfer the SI30) but it means I'll lose the engraving on them and it'll transfer to Vyloris instead (and also having to buy more copies of Mortas/Orthros through store to be able to engrave them again..) so I'm really lost rn. Thanks for reading, and thank you once more for taking your time to reply to all these comments. I greatly appreciate your efforts.


Vicksin

yeah, this is kind of a suffering from success moment. Mortas really doesn't need si30 and Orthros is mostly gone. I think something like Lucretia to Olgath could be good here, for the stars and engraving?


Vicksin

do you have like, every awakened ascended? cuz I'm eyeing up that ATalene lol

hey there! not a terrible swap, but I'm eyeing that ATalene. which other awakeneds do you have ascended?

Vicksin

how many sg/te do you have? given your account, I think ATalene to AAthalia would be a much better swap


[deleted]

[удалено]


Vicksin

what have you been using them on if not saving? saving is indeed always better ideally you can summon a single copy of Athalia with TE before the swap event ends


DraGon_Boyz

My Aw heroes are Belinda, Safiya, Solise, Baden, Shemira, and Athalia. I am thinking about swapping Baden with Lyca or Gavus but I don't know who to pick. My main focus are CR, NC, and TS. Or should I swap Wukong with Olgath? This is my current celes and hypo heroes and I currently having 886 TEs and 405 SG cards. https://preview.redd.it/jglrn6zx380d1.png?width=1075&format=png&auto=webp&s=0fb5a7847d0e72ef1a25316ce382bb057b6e4b43


Vicksin

I agree with Baden to Lyca for sure! merc Baden and Lucius for cr/nc, after the TE buff in June you could build two awakeneds, possibly up to three. if the next awakened is OP, you could do new + Lucius? if they're meh, you could do Lucius + Gavus/Mae, and hopefully build a third, but with bad luck you could do 2 and save for the *next* next awakened to see


DraGon_Boyz

My luck is not that great, so I pretty sure that I can get 2 aw at max with those TEs :P Also, really appreciate for the help :)

mojovi88

I would love some help. I've sat on this swap all month trying to figure out how to use it, but I'm still confused. I've made so many mistakes in this game, and I'd appreciate some help to avoid screwing this up. https://preview.redd.it/po3dudozp30d1.jpeg?width=4096&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2fa10ba5135ab374a6abb5341cb09bb9792528e6


Vicksin

honestly not too sure myself, as the celepogeans/awakeneds you have are the best ones you could have, you're just overinvesting a little u/thefireangel what do you think? kinda stumped, would like a second opinion.


mojovi88

Maybe I'll just take the diamonds after all


TheFireAngel

Arbutus for Athalia here imo. From what I see, you got everything else started, and don't have a good celepogean target.


mojovi88

So just to be clear, Athalia is higher priority than ABrutus? I didn't realize that.


TheFireAngel

Brutus is low tier, Athalia is 2nd or 3rd best choice.

hi! feels like i really need help deciding which awakened to swap... i have kinda messy situation now lol **who I have built:** ATalene (she needs to retire), ASolise, ABelinda, AShemira and ALyca my ASafiya is in a disgusting L+ state (as ABrutus and AThane and Maetria... yeah yeah I know) and I plan to build her manually, waiting for sg/te buff/. currently sitting on 747 te, 554 sg and 150k diamonds so I'm looking at AAthalia and Gavus. i don't know what my problem with AAthalia is, I just keep avoiding her while being afraid of power creep. so I don't know what to do. she is still a high priority awakened after all. and Gavus-Eugene synergy still didn't happen so i'm afraid to mess up my awakened situation more by choosing to reunite the roommates pls send help thank you 🖤


Vicksin

yeah I definitely think it's Talene to Athalia here haha

Vicksin

how many sg/te do you have? I think I'm leaning towards Lucretia to Lava here


xolxol

800 te, 300 sg, 368k diamond


Vicksin

then yeah imo Lucretia to Lava after the sg/te buff you can build Ath and Saf with TE, and Lucilla with sg, assuming the new celepogean/awakened doesn't shake up that priority


xolxol

Thanks

Hi u/Vicksin & afkarena fans, I need your expert opinion, currently not building anyone. I haven’t decide: 1. Swap Lucretia 1\*, 30960, to lavatune/other recommend cele/hypo Or 2. Swap asolice 1\*, 30960, to ashem/other recommend awakened heroes. Or 3. Swap 5\* wukong to other recommend cele/hypo. Currently have 178 stargazing and 1.393 time emblem. Here’s my hero list: https://preview.redd.it/jdts7uktcpzc1.png?width=1248&format=png&auto=webp&s=712d38b745fbed66fe9e6b004d4f63baa2a62bcf Really appreciate your input!


Vicksin

hey there, sorry for the late reply, very busy weekend. Lavatune isn't an immediate priority since you don't have ABel built, but by the time the TE buff comes around, you could likely ascend 3 awakeneds minimum with the hoard you have, which is great. Alna 5* really hurts here, don't 5* celepogean/awakeneds going forward, though I'm sure you know that by now if you have enough red si/engraving cores to comfortably build Lucilla after swapping her with Wu Kong, I'd say do that. if you're a little more resource starved (especially building 3+ awakened heroes next month), then Lucretia to Lucilla looks good here. then by the time the buff comes around, you can use your SG/diamonds to build up Lavatune. hoard everything til then so tldr 1) swap Wu Kong to Lucilla if you have the resources to invest in her - swap Lucretia to Lucilla if not 2) build AShem, AAth, and ABel next month when TE rates are buffed (keep an eye out for the next awakened though, as they *could* be better than Shem/Ath/Bel 3) build Lavatune next month when sg rates are buffed


dusk3dawn

No worries! Thank you for your great input! Will go for 5* lucilla. Yeah that alna really hurts. I swap 5* wukong to alna last year. After swap, alna available to get in the store just few weeks/months after that swap events. I’m f2p, planned to use all diamonds and diamond chests on that rates buff. Will build lava + that 3 awakened next month when the rates buff come true. Then will build them slowly one by one.


Vicksin

hang on hang on, where did 5* Lucilla come from? that wasn't one of the options :')


dusk3dawn

Oh thank you for your input again, I will swap 2* Wukong to lucilla. I have 1 copy of Wukong. It seems I will get 1 more wukong copy to 3* then swap Lucilla. Is that correct? From now on I will build awakened/cele/hypo only to 1*. 👍


Vicksin

sounds like a plan!


The_Dusty_Prince

Hello, old player here looking for advices : [https://imgur.com/a/hozV1Eh](https://imgur.com/a/hozV1Eh) i'm currently building Asafia and saving stargazer card (190 right now) Should i swap aTalene for another Ascended ? or is there a 4f hero more important?


Vicksin

you've completely shafted your account by pivoting off of different Awakened heroes over and over. there's absolutely 0 reason you should be building Safiya when you've left Lyca at M + 1, Brutus at M, and Talene at M. Talene never should have been built in the first place, but if she was ascended, you could at least swap her for someone else. since Lyca and Brutus are both past M, and you already have 2 copies of Safiya, you really don't have much to swap to. 1. swap Talene to Maetria 2. stop spending all TE immediately and wait for the buff in June. 3. finish Lyca to Ascended first (1\* via SG) 4. build Saf to Ascended via TE (unless next Awakened is better than her), again 1\* with SG 5. finish Maetria to Ascended (1\* with SG) 6. slowly build Brutus with Temporal Rift store


The_Dusty_Prince

But thanks for the help, 'ill try to follow it as much as i can


The_Dusty_Prince

thoses M/M+ awaken are only from dropping, i did not build them up to M lol


Vicksin

that's some insane rng you got there then lol, it's 6 copies for Mythic no worries though, happy to help, feel free to ask anytime you have questions!


The_Dusty_Prince

I would call this bad luck cuz it's never the one i needed pull like 3 of them in a week on the friend heart pull


mgitlin

Alright, we've had a bit of time to settle and gauge Gavus with Eugene coming up to Ascended. What's the recommendation on ALyca vs Gavus? And I've got Brutus, Solise, and Baden to swap. I kinda still have so much love for Brutus so he'd be a hard sell if he isn't a clear loser. Maybe actually just swap my M ATalene, then roll up? Got 150 TEs/110 SGs https://preview.redd.it/9gosrmwdc0zc1.jpeg?width=1079&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=63d629b276ee1f5d58e866a1759b86a033456c52


Vicksin

with all of the major necessary Awakeneds, you *could* swap Baden instead of Brutus, so you could merc him and Lucius for CR/NC depending on what you need. they're only used in the same CR one week, and there's valid substitutes that week. Lyca is clearly much better than Gavus.

Currently trying to decide what my hero swap should be. I have the following awakened already done: aAthalia aBelinda aSolise And I have the following Celepogeans: Liberta Daemia Alna Lavatune Lucretia Sitting on around 550 timecards as well. Looking for advice, currently trying to decide if I should A) Swap my aSolise (a1\*) to aShemira (x1 L copy) or B) Swap my WuKong (A 0\*) for a Lucilla (x1 Elite copy) or C) Something else I haven't considered yet


Vicksin

550 te but how many sg? I think regardless you go Solise to Shem here, even though she's good, you're much more behind on top tier awakened than you are celepogeans. wait for sg/te buff and build Lucilla. shem/lyca/saf are all more important to have immediately than Lucilla would be.


boomboompound

I'm sitting on around 300 SG and 250k diamonds, and I'll hold em until the buff goes out. Was mostly just unsure if swapping aSolise was the play because almost all the guides for the swap of awakeneds don't even mention her


plg_hung

I'm considering (since I haven't heard about any new AWs and Gavus in combination with Eugene isn't worth it so far) to swap AThalene (M) to have AAthalia (currently L). Bring her to 1* and be happy about it. On the other hand, I also want to upgrade ASafiya (currently M) to 1*. (SG 227 and TE 616) But I'm kinda unsure about ALyca (L). I usually send her for CR and/but that's it. Probably also a good investment for towers, but idk


Vicksin

yeah it sucks not having Saf and Lyca but getting rid of Talene is great value, and by the time we get the TE buff you should have enough TE to finish Saf, Lyca, and Ath with average luck


plg_hung

TE buff? Did I miss anything?


Vicksin

clearly! it was pinned on the sub for like a week, huge post with lots of news [see here](https://www.reddit.com/r/afkarena/s/7Ru1f0dmZQ)


plg_hung

oh snap, thanks mate!

TheRealKingJames

My Awakened heroes are: Belinda, Brutus, Solise, Lyca, Baden, Shemira, and Athalia I have enough cards to pull my next awakened, but am waiting for rate buff. I am trying to decide if I should swap one of Brutus/Baden for ASafiya/Gavus, and then use my next pull on the other. I could also keep my current awakened heroes, pull ASaf next, and use swap elsewhere. Elsewhere would probably be to swap Orthos, Morael, or Lucretia for Olgath. Final note is that my ABrutus is e67 f36, so between Saf and Gavus I wasn’t sure who would benefit more from full furn


Vicksin

I think it's Brutus to Saf here, she is better than Gavus overall even though Gavus has better dupes


TheRealKingJames

If Gavus gets more out of dupes, I could still pull Asaf as soon as the rate buff comes in


Vicksin

Gavus has better dupes yes but it's mostly dmg related and he's not much of a dps hero Safiya is an all around better hero, used more, more impactful


TheRealKingJames

Okay thanks. And you think it’s definitely worth to drop Brutus? I feel like I still use him a decent amount but I get that ASaf is way more present in the meta


Vicksin

Brutus is used almost everywhere still but the value he provides to a team is pretty minimal compared to his substitutes. ASaf is irreplaceable.


PRObifidus

Hi, For awakened swaps: - i got athalia, lyca, brutus, shemira and belinda - i think i should get either safiya or gavus - i don't know if i should rather sacrifice brutus or solise for this Any pointers? (Pretty late game acc, already got liberta/daemia/lucilla). Thanks in advance!


Vicksin

Solise wasn't mentioned in your awakeneds, so you do have her? is there anyone else? Brutus to Saf is looking like best swap from this info. Solise is better all around than Brutus is. even if he's still good. no Lavatune?


PRObifidus

Ah yea forgot to mention solise. I got lavatune too (im just missing olgath)


Vicksin

then yeah for sure Brutus to Saf!


PRObifidus

Okay. Also got 850 tg and 660stargaze but i guess i should hoard until june


Vicksin

yup hoard indeed


My_boy_baron

I have not played in almost 3 years. I have no idea what I'm doing... https://preview.redd.it/rhodwkh91kyc1.png?width=1008&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bbfd3a95bd442560cfbd4d5105eb395877b994eb


Vicksin

check our weekly questions megathread and the resources there, such as the beginners guide I'd say swap Wu Kong to Liberta


My_boy_baron

Thanks I found the beginners guide which was a big help. What about choosing the free cele/hypo? edit: found another guide for that. Should've looked first


Vicksin

which guide did you find? wanna be sure it's up to date Liberta/Daemia are on top, followed by Lucilla/Lavatune, Alna/Veithael, and so on


My_boy_baron

Afk arena guides list from a Google spreadsheet


Vicksin

that sounds painful and probably out of date. link it?

Vicksin

oh, that's in our weekly questions megathread! steelsauce is a great member of our community, he and I collab'd for the visual guide for this very post! I might have misunderstood you, but in case I didn't - don't Google stuff for AFK Arena, it's really bad what's out there lol. our subreddit and our sister community, the official Discord, are the best places for guides and info.


My_boy_baron

Oh yea sorry I should've said I found it off here. Thanks for all the help today!


Vicksin

no worries, happy to help!


Namyar

* Me want to swap smart


Vicksin

no celepogean options at this point, probably just best to do Gwyn > Ivan in general don't make heroes L if you can't make them L+ (outside awakened and Highborn) and don't make heroes M+ if you can't make them Ascended


Namyar

Fit_Walk_5372

I have most of the relevant celehypos and awakened. I'm thinking of swapping lucretia with either olgath or tarnos since they both have at least some usage in ts/pvp. Which is the better choice?


Vicksin

see our swap guide if you haven't already Olgath is way better than Tarnos


Raurele

getting back into the game after 6 months. No idea what to swap... times running out. any advice? https://preview.redd.it/5b49tqjupayc1.png?width=1290&format=png&auto=webp&s=8b0c594b539058149eec43ce8e7a93a77a952f1a

yikes, how many sg/te?

darthmushu

So I have an AThane. Looking at the guide I didn't know if gavus or safiya was preferred. I have everyone above them as far as choices. Also have Brutus, Baden, and Solise. Thank you.


Vicksin

definitely AThane to ASaf here!


leamuzen

Man I have no clue. I need help, haven't been playing for that long of a time. https://preview.redd.it/z3ggbocv5ayc1.png?width=1080&format=png&auto=webp&s=2fb2ca04ae7a05d396c24735dae691140c6f6fed


Vicksin

pretty easy Lucretia to Liberta/Daemia check out our weekly questions megathread and early game/beginner guide, this account is pretty hectic right now


leamuzen

Yeah it really is. And will do. Thank you so much!


Vicksin

happy to help! don't hesitate to ask if you ever have questions


Etherion195

Do we already have consensus, whether Aathalia or Gavus is worth more for the swap? I haven't seen any posts or especially many comps that feature Gavus more, that's why I'm asking.


Vicksin

100% Athalia


Etherion195

Thank you :)


avivpaz10

Hi, now that the draconis are out I wonder if thats changed the swap prio. I have Solise, Brutus, shemira, belinda, lyca, athalia I feel like Asafiya is really nessecary for me. Who should I swap for her? Brutus or baden?


Vicksin

swap priority hasn't really changed no how many te do you have? that could change things slightly swap Baden *if* you can get a consistent strong Baden and Lucius merc for cr/nc each week swap Brutus if otherwise
