    Default compass lvl 10 issue

    Hi there,

    I have been NPC lvl10 farming for a while (ie my compass lvl was 8 and 9 then) successfully with archer losses around 7k. Yesterday my compass reached lvl10 and I have lost around 200k archers!!!!

    Do you know the antidote to overcome this anamoly? Previously i used to go with 2k warriors/workers, 1k scouts/swords, 2k trans and rest archers. That combo dont work no more due to compass lvl10!!!

    I tried diff combo and in that process lost 200k archers!!

    Other Details : Archery/MT/HBR/military science/iron working/medicine lvl10
    hero att - 212/208 hero lvl-100

    Please help. Battle reports as below, the worst one is at the last!!!

    look under screenshots section, I've posted a NPC10 farming attempt

    I have all techs but Masonry and Privateering to lv10. Compass should NOT be the issue.

    Don't Listen to other people, I never get my compass to 10, makes too many losses. Well I do sometimes, only when I have an amazing hero.

    You're going to have to use more more expensive layers until you get a better hero man. And if that doesn't work... you're kinda screwed
    Thanks WN1 Hit for the sig!

    OK you're doing a couple things wrong. The issue with LVL10 Compass, is that you need increased firepower, to kill the warriors before they can touch you (this is an issue of debate though).

    In some reports, your layering is too thick. You take as low as 88K archers. With your hero attack, that is not enough.

    In some reports, you take 100 units layering, which is not layering at all.

    Do you have +25% buff? Can you upgrade your gear? Do you have a historical hero? Got excalibur?

    You can try practicalfool's setup (I believe with ballys) or switch back to LVL8 farming for a bit. Everyone also should be able to get a historical hero; after all, you can get free details on 1 of them, if you play it right.

    Summary:
    -Work on better layering
    -You need to realize you are short in firepower, so do everything you can to compensate this.

    thanks for your input guys!!

    Woldere : I was just playing with combos so as to hit the right one for compass lvl10. I sure can upgrade the gear. Now are you talking about the upgrade upgrade or star upgrade? If upgrade upgrade then I have been doing it. None of them have reached lvl10 yet and mostly they are in between 3-5's with weaponry and mount training at 6.
    As for star upgrades is concerned, I havent done any since I thought I will get those upgrades to lvl10 and THEN do the star upgrades, since each lvl upgrade downgrades the star upgrades!!
    I do not have historical hero but I can capture one. But then again, I do not know which hero has what traits - how much attack, intel, politics, etc!!!! Is there a way to find that out and select the highest attack hero and go after him!!!
    I do have excalibur and can use it, but then for how long - 7 days. then what?
    Could you please enlighten me what this +25% buff is? I do have 5k points in my achievements but they all say this buff obtained that buff obtained!!!

    Thanks,

    +20% (not 25% sry) buffs are warhorn and corselet.

    There's a H-hero thread where a lot of good attack heroes are listed.

    You will save a lot of Gems by not using them right now, but it does leave you underpowered for the moment.

    I do hv the corselet and ulta-corselet. I did find the HH thread and will go thru in a moment!!

    Darn, there is no sure shot antidote to this compass lvl10!!!!!!! I have submitted a request to downgrade it to lvl9 to EVONY. Does that work?

    Anybody else has my scenario and successful at lvl10 farming (with minimal losses ie!)

    Can't downgrade, lots of requests about this already made. You're gonna have to get your hero to higher level first if you want lower losses.

    -Use your gems
    -Excalibur
    -LVL5 / LVL8 farming
    -Warhorn
    -Warbombs before hitting
    -Get historical hero

    Just don't keep hitting your head against a wall, do something

    compass 10 moves your troops to fast on the battle field so with a weaker hero the archers dont do enough damage so get killed, if you have war horn on then they do do enough damage; or you have a high attack hero like 250.

    Lv9 compass is more ideal for heros with around 200-250 attack, although there is always slight variation to take into account so you will occasionally get wild losses, i just think not as much of the time.

    You might as well put at least 1 star on your gear. They drop like candy off npc's so you prob have a few hundred already.
