Here we go, it's been nearly 6 months since the last Clan Affiliation report.
There are only about 10 clans worth looking at, every other clan contains less than 4 members. Things have changed over the past 6 months, but not by much. Diggaz With Attitude has emerged and grown to a formidabble clan since the beginning of the year.
An amazing 190 Keepers in the Top 300 are clan members, while 110 don't belong to any clan. These are the same numbers as January.
Next week, I should be able to bring back the Movers and Shakers list.
Thank you to all of the handful of users who posted a comment! I hope you had fun trying to figure out our first DignFight Puzzle.
The problem with this attacker is creature types. All of his creatures are leveled-up (lvl 10-13), but his lone Dark Elf is the only battle supporter and his 2 Salamanders are the only flankers.
My 12 Dark Elves have the following target priority: sprinter, battle supporter, blocker, flanker. There aren't any sprinters in the attacking group, so my Dark Elves go after the battle supporter first (the lone Dark Elf). In this screenshot, the attacking Dark Elf gets killed, then the rest of my damage goes to the next target priority: blockers. Black riders, trolls, and devilers are all blockers, so my remaining 40 points of damage is split between 9 creatures (only 3 creatures get hit though).
If I was defending with Devilers, both of his level 13 Salamanders would have died. 39k gold and 26 days of training for each one.
I don't care that he won the battle and stole 434 gold, my Imps can dig more than that in 10 minutes. Losing 1 level 12 Dark Elf just cost him 15 days of training time and possibly as much as 45,000 gold! Even if he used the Home Training Made Easy premium, it would still cost 31,500 gold to train a level 12 Dark Elf. Who do you think really won that battle? On top of that, there's still the 2000 gold to recruit the Dark Elf.
Lessons learned:
- Attack with appropriate level creatures
- Do NOT mix creature types when you attack
- Take care of your high-level creatures, you spent a lot of time getting them there
Explanations:
Attack with appropriate level creatures. If your creatures are too low, they will die. That should be obvious.
Do NOT mix creature types when you attack. It is perfectly alright to mix creatures. My attacker would have been fine if he used ONLY Devilers, Trolls, and Black Riders. When you have 1 or 2 of a creature type in your attack group, they often become the first target for the defenders.
Take care of your high-level creatures. Do you want to recover 15 days of training time and dig up 31,500 gold? I didn't think so.
Here's an interesting strategy tip for you. This tip works better for lower level Keepers, up until you build a Training Room.
Before the Training Room arrives, all creatures are stuck at level 1. By looking at their Dungeon Score, the type of creatures that a Keeper has is VERY predictable. In fact, by looking at somebody's Creature Score, you also get an idea of how many creatures a Keeper has (we'll save that for another post).
The following is the minimum dungeon points required to recruit a specific creature.
Glowworm 190
Goblin 880
Salamander 2025
Wizard 4930
Deviler 6530
Troll 9430
Dark Elf 10730
Black Rider 20480
If a Keeper has LESS than the points listed, they can NOT recruit the listed creature. Most beginning players will only upgrade their rooms far enough to get their next upgrade - to recruit a new creature or to build the next room. This strategy leads to a very predictable dungeon composition.
example: If you have Salamanders and one of your neighbors has a dungeon score less than 2025, you can be sure that the best defense they have is goblins.
I have been concentrating on training creatures lately. When I have extra gold, I research spells and tinker traps. There has been one Keeper that his been hitting me with a level 8 Berserker, he can't kill anything, but with my current defenses, it's pretty much a guaranteed win.
The Elite Imps seem to have updated their Berserker information recently. It now contains full stats for Berserker up to level 12. I have updated my original Berserker post accordingly.
A few months ago, I used to be active on the DignFight forums. I used to post a lot more often on my blog too. It became tiring to see the same questions coming up on the forum and honestly. People don't know how to search for answers before they ask the same question.
Recently, a few "new keepers" tried to attack me and I could not believe the dumb mistakes that they were making. Please read the DignFight forums and this blog. There's lots of good information.
Here is an edited screenshot of an incoming attack. Both the attacker and my account are in the Top 300 on this server. Tell me what is wrong with this attack.
Post your guess/answer in the comments. The answer to this DignFight Puzzle will be posted later this week.
To answer a recent comment: "Yes, I have multiple DignFight accounts."
However, I am NOT duping or cheating. There are currently 13 seperate DignFight servers.
- English
- Spanish
- German
- Italian
- French
- Netherlands
- Serbia
- Hungarian
- Romanian
- Poland
- Czechoslovakia
- Greece
- Portugal
According to the game rules, RedMoon Studios does not allow multiple accounts on the same server, but you are welcome to create one account PER server (see rule #5).
I currently have 4 active accounts running on DIFFERENT servers. I do NOT have more than one account the same server. I have listed a couple usernames here on this blog in some of my posts. The Walkthrough series of posts follows my German account: MoxJet which is no longer actively being played.
I have a couple of legitimate accounts which I have not shared on this blog where I practice other strategies.
If you look at some of the top players on any server, there is a good chance that you will find the same username on another DignFight server.
