Below is specifically written to help new players in Lies of Astaroth for the xbox. This is just for Lies of Astaroth on xbox not the app.
I do not know anything about the Lies of Astaroth app, only the xbox version. I hope these Lies of Astaroth tips help you while you play on the xbox.these are things that I've learned since i started playing Lies of Astaroth on Xbox mostly from the team, but a few i've figured out.Crystals are precious in Lies of Astaroth and not plentiful, when you obtain them the best thing ive done for max value is reset the top 3 mazes. This helps with getting cards and with getting mats to enchant cards. I would suggest not spending them in the store, and definitely not on energy. Talking last night, if you reset the same map 3 times it goes up from 20 crystals to 24, and 4 more per each reset.Enchanting, the mats for this get better as you progress but in the beginning outside of leveling your elf wizard to lvl 5 for the heal, don't waste the mats until you absolutely have to, or you get something thats just amazing and you will keep using throughout. Learn what cards are really good and worth lvling.
You can win 2 different types of rewards. Level rewards you can recieve after your account got one level higher. Just go on 'Notice Board' 'Rewards' and claim your gold, tickets or your special card! For Purchase rewards you have to buy the xtals required below. Lies of Astaroth Wiki is a FANDOM Games Community.
Some cards are very good situationally and some are staples. I will post something at the bottom on what ive found to be useful, but ill let some of the more experienced guys add / edit. For enchanting mats farm mazes, make sure to do your resets daily.3 Envasions, i wasnt sure about this to begin with, however daily as part of your rewards you get gold from each map lvl you've cleared, this increased with the # of 3 star levels in each that you've defeated. If you leave an invasion untouched you won't get rewarded the gold bonus. Wiggly things this is due to the fact that someone could stop playing the game for a while and just end up with 5000 million gold when they get back.On maps each stage of Lies of Astaroth will have a gold crown, but some will also have a grey crown.
The gold crown is the one you need to beat to go to the next stage, and the grey one is the hidden lvl that you have to unlock by getting 3. on a map in each level.
I dont remember which is which so sadly i cant add that here. If anyone knows please add it.In the beginning i was skipping some of the thieves in the mazes, i wouldnt suggest this as the map clear bonus is pretty good, you will miss out on this if you skip them. Was doing this just to get loot from chests, and to save energy. Each chest / thief / passage to the next lvl of a maze costs 2 energy per fight. You will learn that being energy capped is the bane of your existence.Ice abilities are great than lightning abilities when it comes to over all stun lock effect. The ice will make them unable to attack and unable to use special abilities, where lightning only makes them unable to attack.Cold wave rune works great in the beginning and into late, but i wouldnt suggest enchanting them.
Outside of that i didnt have a need for runes until later. There is another section on runes so i wont go into too much detail about it.For getting runes you use the temple, in the beginning i was spamming medidate until the bar filled similar to how you enchant cards and then getting the rewards, this is EXPENSIVE. I've recently started just medidating until i get a rune, so if the first ones a rune i just collect it and do it again, i do this over and over. It has helped a lot more than just spamming and spending 150k per collection, that is super inefficient.Remember that each time you level you get 2 more cost for your deck, so if you were only 1 or 2 cost away from adding a better card to your deck, once you level go back and add that card. Also pay attention to key levels, these are levels when you get an additional card slot / rune slot.While playing through Lies of Astaroth it becomes a pain to modify your existing deck for different challenges.
Early in the game you come across a lot of the same types of challenged IE use 2 3 stars, or 3 2 stars in your deck. Another common one is use no runes. I made another deck identical to my deck that would meet this criteria and i would keep it around to use for the common type challenges, it saved me a little time.if you are having an issue beating a stage or a map in general pay close attention to what card types are mostly in the opponents deck, and the runes the opponent is using. If you have some decent cards that counter those make sure to modify your deck.
I know sometimes this game makes you lazy with deck modifying because you can literally just spam fight with minimal effort with the auto play, but if you can swap 2 cards out and beat the stage then just do it, its better than hoping for the rng gods to give you your best hand vs there worst hand, this can take hours.Energy management is tough!! So you regen energy pretty consistently, not sure of the exact amount but it feels near 2 energy every 5 minutes. Your cap is 120, so the longer you stay capped the worse it is for you, as you will not gain any new energy. When first logging in i suggest to do mazes to burn through that energy. Once you've done all of your mazes, and if you arent maze reset spamming, between fights make sure to explore your highest area defeated to try and get a thief. Thieves are great as you have a good chance of getting either good cards or a magic ticket that you can redeem for a 3 - 5 star card in the store.
Note that it costs 2 energy to explore, and 2 energy to fight a thief. If you do not defeat the thief you have 2 hours available to defeat him, you simply need to go to your mission tab and click on it to fight him again, there is a 5 minute cooldown between attempts but you can pay 5 crystals to avoid this. I have found that exploring my highest 3 star defeated stage in a map yields the best exp / gold from exploring.
I suggest when you aren't map grinding to always keep a thief on cooldown or in the queue if you werent able to defeat him. Also note that you cant have multiple thieves queue'd up, so if you find one and dont defeat it stop exploring until you defeat it.Currency is weird in Lies of Astaroth, you have 3 forms essentially.
Gold / energy / crystals. Crystals let you buy stuff and reset stuff, but they cost real $.
Gold is used for enchanting and for buying starter packs / runes. Energy is used to fight/ explore / and to reset mazes.Starting off the best cards i noticed were black widows 3 star, and elf wizard.
The wizard should be lvl 5, and the black widows should be lvl 10. You will more than likely use the widows until end game, however the wizard falls off once you get a Naiad or a seraph or something else thats stronger with a better group heal. The widows paired with cold wave rune keeps things locked down very well so that you can defeat it, there are other options but this worked great for me.Energy Edit, looks like you get 1 energy every 2 minutes, and 20 energy on the hour every hour. So you essentially get 50 energy an hour. I just noticed the 20 energy per hour bonus as i was fully depleted then it hit 3pm EST then i had 20 more energy.
This 20 could be a once a day perk, as 3pm EST is halfway to a reset, will update later. update. i didnt get a 20 energy bonus @ 4, so im going with you get 20 bonus energy on odd hours, or every 12 hours, will update as i know. Update for above, 20 energy bonus only happens @ 12 noon PST, if you are @ your energy cap of 120, this bonus energy will up your max energy to 140. Server reset is @ midnight PSTI will try to update this with other stuff as i think of it / experience it in Lies of Astaroth, and some of the cards that ive noticed work really well. This is supposed to be more starter stuff for new Lies of Astaroth players on the xbox, however it can also be beneficial for intermediate players. I hope this helps someone, any suggestions etc are definitely welcome!!
Enjoy!Discalimer: if you noticed that i said Lies of Astaroth more than normal, its in hopes that the spiders pick this up and send more people to this reddit!! Tell friends not just for this post but for the others, so far the Lies of Astaroth community has been really good.
