Build talk:Team - 6 Hero Burning Campaign Runner

So optimally I'd need to beeline to Eye of the North from whichever campaign I start in? (As far as I see in the wiki most heroes come from that expansion, Gwen is Prophecies-only, and M.O.X. is available in all the campaigns.) -- kazerniel (talk) 10:59, 23 October 2018 (UTC)
 * This approach is ideal for prophecies characters which can't make it into nightfall easily early on, but also works well for the other campaigns. Nightfall characters can run through their tutorial areas more quickly than with Koss, factions characters can keep going with level 20 heroes immediately instead of having their level 11 Sousuke onehit by unsuspecting strike. Of course you can (and should) get the early nightfall heroes aswell, even if it's just for Sousuke/Tahlkora/Dunkoro, so you don't have to take changing henchmen in the endgame areas of prophecies.
 * Btw., Gwen is EotN only aswell. This whole setup relies on the first bunch of heroes in EotN and M.O.X.. --Krschkr (talk) 13:48, 23 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks!-- kazerniel (talk) 16:31, 23 October 2018 (UTC)
 * You can pm me ingame if you like, I can help you setting up a team with the heroes and skills available to you. This team is intended for people which already have unlocked plenty of skills with pre-existant characters and if I got you right you don't yet have many skills to pick for your heroes.

Beginner tag
This is not necessarily intended for newer players who haven't unlocked many skills. This is for players who have the skills unlocked, who have some experience with the game, and who want to speed new characters through campaigns without relying on level 15 NF heroes like Krschkr mentioned. Newer players should stick with henchmen until they unlock the skills they need. It is mentioned in the build overview that players should substitute defensive skills for easier runs, newer players would struggle with the comp as it is (10-23-18), because it is specialized for almost completely damage.

The "gimmick" of this build is that it makes use of Dervish heroes effectively, and there is a note in the Usage section on how to do that: you have to direct them to attack balled up foes. But if a player is running a healing or protection build, he or she should not use this comp, because it is difficult to focus on healing and calling targets at the same time. Not to mention paying attention to the hero getting stuck, as sometimes happens (workaround also mentioned in Usage section).

Also, it is designed to be fast without needing to purchase any runes and weapons, to make it easier and cheaper for players.--Saxazaxx (talk) 19:16, 23 October 2018 (UTC)
 * We're still defining what the Beginner Build tag will actually mean, but right now it's meant to justify builds which operate with restrictions just like this team is based on: Only early to get heroes, no better equipment. I think that the tag is fitting, even though the build makes extensive use of unlocked skills. And even though the template's name is Beginner Build, this team (which fits the current phrasing) shows that it's not just working for completely new accounts/players. --Krschkr (talk) 20:00, 23 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Cool--Saxazaxx (talk) 01:55, 24 October 2018 (UTC)

Videos
Could you cut those down to one run? Visitors don't need a history of build testing in the same area, just an exemplary video. Or perhaps one for ~3 particularly interesting missions. --Krschkr (talk) 02:07, 29 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Sure thing.--Saxazaxx (talk) 04:16, 29 October 2018 (UTC)

EoE
with 5s cast time, you would be constantly waiting for the rit and he will recast it on recharge. micromanagement would be mandatory. maybe a binding ritual spirit would be better. Jilonor (talk) 14:31, 20 December 2018 (UTC)
 * I don't know how much it increases her damage because I don't use Toolbox. From my memory, it seems that she uses it pretty well. I don't think she will use it if the spirit is already active. It is true that she will use it at the beginning of a fight, instead of casting Splinter, but I think the extra damage is worth it.--Saxazaxx (talk) 04:25, 21 December 2018 (UTC)
