Hello survivors!
Is it november already? We hope you're all staying safe! Since the release of the prologue, we got quite a lot of new players in our Discord server.
And we realized that many of the players had found very good strategies, even better than our own!
This is why we decided to ask on social media (Discord and Twitter) YOUR best strategies!
Note: Those strategies are valable for the prologue as it is now! The final game will have a different balancing, and new features, so those strategies might not be valable anymore when the game releases.
- Torantolis said: My best strat is to hope and pray that you get enough red-items to bash your way to victory and that the enemy runners don't dodge 7 consecutive attacks each turn. Wear heavy armor, bring a shield if you can, have weapons that can easily cleave or propagate, and save up building resources for the final waves for extra walls.
We definitely agree that resource management is crucial in The Last Spell!
- Rock the Shoulder has quite the interesting strategy! It's a complex one, so you want to pay attention to that one!
Who needs pants, anyway?
Mine all buildings on day 2, sell all houses, sell all pants. Build a tavern and get a fourth hero.
Build 2 houses and upgrade them on day 3, build third house, mine all you can. Buy shop upgrade 1.
Buy shop upgrade 2 on day 4, mine but build nothing else, save rest of gold.
Mine then sell all houses on day 5. Buy all the equipment from the shop. You can also build a mana well and recover if you need to. Just sell it after.
Try not to go to crazy on using mana, since you won't be getting any wells, but with four heroes it should be fine.
Our opinion on that one: this strategy has the advantage of not relying on RNG, so that can apply to every player! We hope you don't like pants and like mining!
- The Knight Commissar had another strategy that relied on mining and selling as well:
Rush that 4th heroes and multi-weapons set on characters!
1st wave, 2 mines (1 upgraded 1st day, the other the second), gotta get at least 200 gold after 2nd wave. Then get that inn and 4th hero out.
Then, focus on mining out materials, surround the base in walls, priority to the waves.
Other than that? Stack 2 sets of weapons on every character, one with strong 1 cost 1 target attacks, other with aoes!
Allows for a lot of attacks without mana cost and versatility.
Buy some armors too.
My winning combo:
Sword and Spear! (GET THAT SPEAR BRO!)
Crossbow and Mini-Crossbow (to finish the low level enemies)!
2x Staffs and wands.
They will never made inside the city if you play your cards right and are not afraid to take a bit of heat.
We like that one too, especially because you're advised to use the 2 sets of weapons for each of your characters!
- Firens started with
take a sword. Go in. Come back. Rest. GO IN!!!!
Which is honestly, a good strategy. Dangerous though!
But then...
but the serious one. Be sure to start with a good mobile melee (ideally 1h-sword), either a strong melee magic (scepter or staff) and a range that can deal with armor. Start every night very deep near the edge to kille the first monsters with melee, keep magic/ranged to deal with isolate, or slow/stun. Deal with the armored one with poison ideally. Stuff my main melee with a strong dmg secondary (spear if possible), make him get 9 move points at least so he can rush in, and come back while killings dozens every turn. Stuff the mage with druid staff. Get a 4th hero (2nd melee is great) before 3rd night. Build the workshop I need the most before night 4, and upgrade items to tier 3. Never let monsters in!
Optimizing your characters is very important as well in The Last Spell Prologue! Making sure you have the best weapons and knowing how to use them right will be crucial for your games!
When the game gets released, we're sure you folks will have even more original strategies to make it to the end of the game! Do you have your own strategies that you found while playing the prologue? Tell us in the comments! :)
Also, don't hesitate to try The Last Spell - Prologue! :)
