‘Empires & Puzzles: RPG Quest’: Top 10 Tips & Cheats You Need to Know

Here are the top 10 tips/tricks/cheats you need to know for Empires & Puzzles: RPG Quest.

1. Elements

• The damage done by your troops is greatly affected by the Elemental affinities. Especially in PVP, it can make a huge difference if you combo hits an enemy who’s at disadvantage – you’ll deal double damage on each hit. The rules are easy to remember (and you can always check the Elemental chart from the upper edge of the screen); Fire is strong against Nature, Nature is strong against Ice and Ice is strong against Fire. Light and Dark are a different since they’re strong against each other but weak against their own Element.

2. Special Skills

• Each Hero gains mana for Special Skills when troops of their own element hits enemies. This one is simple enough, but you’ll soon notice that any troops that reach the far end of the battlefield provide a big amount of bonus mana to their respective Heroes. In many battles, it’s worth considering whether to strike the enemy in front of you or if sending some of the troops through a gap in the enemy lines would give you enough mana to do a devastating Special Skill attack on the next turn.

3. Battle Items

• You can take four different Battle Items with you into Story battles. Don’t neglect these even if early in the game you don’t need to use them. You’ll soon gain access to some very useful items, such as the Scroll of Revival that brings defeated heroes back to combat. These can make all the difference, especially against bosses seen later in game.

4. Troops

• Always check that you have the strongest possible Troops equipped for you Hero. The free Daily Summon has a chance for winning both Uncommon and Rare Troops, which both can seriously add to the power of your hero – as long as they’re taken into battle.

5. Watchtower

• To battle with other players, you must build the Watchtower. This is possible to do very early in the beginning and is highly recommended. Dueling with other players is fun and can win you some resources – but most importantly, PVP is a really good place to really learn how different characters work. You may well notice that there’s a hero that suits your playstyle perfectly by facing off against a player with different heroes in use.

6. Quests

• The Quest map opens at player experience level 10. Getting there takes some effort but it’s worth it. The map has new Quest levels available every day. These levels reward you with guaranteed loot of a specified type when completed. Some Quests give food, some give recruits, plus Rare Quests have some extremely hard-to-get upgrading materials as the ultimate prize.

7. Alliances

• Alliances become available at player experience level four. The big draw of joining an Alliance is hunting Titans. Titans require multiple Alliance members to work together to deal enough damage to take them down. If the Alliance is successful in defeating a Titan, all members who took part get their share of the loot.

8. Wanted Missions

• Notice the chests on the left side of your screen? These contain gems and loot that are yours to get whenever you fill the progress bar next to the chest. The Monster chest is available from the beginning, but the Heroes chest requires you to build a Watchtower and the Titan chest requires you to join an Alliance. It goes without saying that fulfilling the chest requirements whenever possible is strongly recommended to get some precious gems for free.

9. Advanced PvP Tactics

• Once you’ve fought a few fights in the PVP arena, you’ll likely start to notice various ways to optimize your play. Here’s a pro tip – the order of your heroes in the lineup matters a lot. The hero in the middle of the lineup will be in the front position on the battlefield when defending against other players. This means that the middle hero will be hit much more than the others. A strong hero with plenty of defense and health is a good bet for the middle position.

10. Farming for Resources

• You will need plenty of food, iron and materials later in the game. Going back to earlier levels and letting the autoplay take care of the battles is good way to wrap up a play session. The autoplay is activated by tapping the small “fast forward” button near the top right corner of the screen. Notice that autoplay is not really tactical enough to take care of any of the more challenging fights, though.
