Good morning Soulkeepers, Hivers and Praetorians!
CaptainDingus here with another banger here... but no mash. That's a little morning humor... excuse me... humour... for my lads & lasses across the pond...
The Tower Defense game Soulkeep launched on Hive a little over a month ago and there have been some MAJOR changes since then!
It's hard to keep up with all of the updates. To encourage the n00bs to play and keep playing... plus to give them a fair shot at earning prizes and $SPS... I wanted to write a quick guide on maximizing score, regardless of League!
Plenty of strategies have come and gone so I am going to cover the BIG THREE for right now. Basically I am going to give you my 3 TOP TIPS on how to earn the best score you can!
Why should you listen to me?? I've played since day three of Launch and I routinely place at the top of my League... The latter being most important lol
Number one... and I hope you pay attention... because I am only going to say this ONCE!! ONE TIME YA HEAR!!!
At the end of EACH WAVE... Your remaining Hearts... 👏 GIVE 👏 YOU 👏 POINTS 👏
This means TWO things... you want to ensure you have MAXIMUM HEARTS... FOR AS LONG AS POSSIBLE!!
How can you do that? Well... the most OBVIOUS way... is to not let any of those slimly little weaselly Fiends slip past your death dealing towers of destruction and your Legolas sister lookin ass CeleneDion of Mayhem (thank you "MasterSplinter-Lands" for that one)
But here is something else to consider: The spell HEARTGIVER
Fire this bad boy off round one to give you a BONUS number of Hearts to get through the waves... and each wave those hearts get you BONUS SCORE!
Even in the lower leagues 5 extra hearts for each wave for 6 waves is a TON of points!! Check out the math below 👇
Consider this: at 50 Points per Heart... if you get 5 extra Hearts from Heartgiver... 5 x 50 is 250 points PER WAVE... and with 6 waves... 6 x 250 is 1,500 more points than another player who DOESN'T use Heartgiver (assuming you both have perfect runs)... FIFTEEN HUNDRED POINTS!!
Alright recruits, gather round and listen closely... come a little closer... that's right... get in real close and let CaptainDingus share a secret with you...
Unless you will get overrun and DIE... this guy right here... Voodoo Sapper... is a MUST PLAY... I mean... YOU GOTTA PLAY IT... why???
Because the SECOND thing that boosts your score... IS THE AMOUNT OF MANA YOU EARN FROM KILLING FIENDS... Yes. You read that right. 1:1 Direct Correlation!!
The Voodoo Sapper ability is: "Earn BONUS Mana for each fiend VOODOO SAPPER KILLS"
So be CAREFUL with your tower placement! In order to earn the Bonus Mana and the BONUS SCORE... VOODOO SAPPER MUST BE THE TOWER TO KILL THE FIEND!!
Example Scenario: You and another player kill a bunch of baddies... you use Voodoo Sapper and they don't... Let's say your Voodoo Sappers kill ALL of the enemies...
You both kill 100 Fiends... They earn 100 points... YOU earn 120 points... after 6 Waves... 600 vs 720 points!! Guess who's the champ here... YOU ARE.
Not to mention you can play more Towers/Spells/Upgrades because you have earned MORE MANA!
IMPORTANT NOTE: Voodoo Sapper's "Mana Bonus %" 👏 VARIES 👏 BY 👏 LEAGUE 👏
Ok pukes... time for the final bit of score boosting, leaderboard rank improving, Chad maki - ok... well... not that last bit...
So... you made it to number three... you think you got what it takes to use these newfound skills and climb out of the mucky-muck that is the bottom half of the Leaderboard to EARN YOU SOME $SPS... WELL DO YA?!?
Mana Mania is another HIGH PRIORITY play... This Spell boosts the Mana... THUS THE SCORE... when Fiends DIE inside the spell circle!
I cannot stress this enough... 👏 BE 👏 CAREFUL 👏 WHERE 👏 YOU 👏 PLACE 👏 THIS👏 SPELL 👏
The Fiends MUST DIE INSIDE IT... to get you the Bonus Points and SCORE!! Make sure you are able to KILL a LOT OF FIENDS inside that Spell Circle!!!
That's all I have for you today folks!! Thank you for reading and I would LOVE for you to join me in game!!
