Maze of Illusion - Area 11

Finally, the much anticipated Maze of Illusion has arrived. The new area brings new challenges and excitement.

Note: The buff adjustments to "some" balance rangers. And some buffs to "some" 3, 4, 5 star rangers.
A quick check (but not a thorough one) revealed that:

  • Dancer King Boss, Dwight, Sol, Xan, Sorcerer Cony, Gentlemen James, Thunder Brown, Charismatic Jessica, Cobe, Warrior Jessica, and Witch Cony got some minor DPS upgrades.
  • Sol, Lia, Alice, Masked Moon, Legend Boss, Honey, Abdula, Sindy, Songster Cony, Opera James, Biker James, Ellin, Fighter Moon, General Brown, and Lightning Jessica got significant DPS upgrades.

The new treasure has been revealed. I'm not all too impressed with it and it doesn't seem very original seeing as how they tried to do it once before.

The new enemies are pretty funny. Particularly "Amber" the grey rabbit that throws rabbit dolls. Go read the description. It's really funny.

One of the new enemies does not appear to be playing by the age-old rule. Dice appears to be able to assault your long-range rangers and skip right over your front-line. :O The area seems quite tough. The front line takes a terrible beating from Ryo the mushroom guy.

Stage 124 Cleared with Master Dwight, Master Ola Brown, Master Songster Cony - Players with Master Dwight will rejoice. He's really powerful for this area.

The new obtainable 4 and 5 star rangers may be of interest to those who have missed out on the previous events. The new 5-star ranger is Sorcerer Cony and the new 4-star ranger is Macho Moon.

Anyway, I'm short of time to play today so unfortunately not much more commentary presently. More to come!

    1. No clue, but as far as I know: (all master stats)
      1. Sol's HP is buffed around 700k
      2. Xan's HP is buffed around 800k
      3. KSM's HP is buffed around 800k
      4. Clara and Opera James attack is buffed around 45k
      5. Abdulla's attack is buffed (not sure because I don't have master Abdula)
      6. Thunder Brown's HP is buffed around 1,4m
      7. Dwight's HP is buffed around 3m
      8. Lia and gentleman's james HP is buffed.

      That's all I know

    2. Louis' hp now is 900k+ before it was 500-600+ (not master stat)

      Delete
    3. I've got a mastered Luis, he has become quite formidable!

      203,786 Attack and 2,109,351 HP.

      Thinking about including him now in my dream team but not sure...

      Delete
    4. So Luis got similar attack power than Dwight in this new stats.
      I see Dwight's HP is increasing but in cost of his attack is decreasing.
      My lvl 75 Dwight before has around 220k attack damage, now it is only 190k damage.

      Delete
    5. In addition, wasn't Dwight's attack Fast and movement was Slow before? He is now slow for both :(

  2. The story is quite funny, now I'm stuck in 122

  3. Looks like Gentleman James and Masked Moon both got nice boosts. Sol got a pretty big health boost at some point too. Last time I calculated attak and hp per crystal cost (shortly after the PVP/endless mode was released) I had Sol down as 567151 hp, now he has over 750k hp. Xan seems to have more HP too. So there have been unannounced changes.

    1. You can cleave the tower using all splash ranger (Cherina/ksm/abdulla/hitman).
      Just use tornado, ice, and invincibility.
      It went fine until 124 for me, and I though that for people that had Cherina master could go on until 132

      Delete
    2. i finished 132 with items and master cherina only.. but i cant do it anymore now since they seem to increase the HP tower or reduce cherina's damage.. but i was lucky to be able getting 88% of treasure before they changed it..

      Delete
    3. oohh okay, thanks for your advice guys, I'll try it :)

  5. Stuck at 124.

    I tried using mastered Susu, Bernard and Dwight as tankers but useless too lol.

    ReplyDelete
  6. The mushrooms are obliterating me (and I don't seem to be alone on this!) Gold Brown popped in on 121 and was crushed by the 'shrooms almost before I could blink. That's some scary damage. My highest HP ranger is the newly buffed Sol, and I may as well be tanking with lowbies.

    At least the Gacha gave me Luis (but no other 5 stars from 8 spins... aww.)

    Maybe it's worth mastering Xan? Not sure what other free play options are left.

    2. Lowbies are useless when you are fighting Dice

  7. again and again
    I do not understand what the game developers want
    I know this game uses strategies to solve it but this was too much, master of SUSU was not useful
    latest update actually makes me stress, all the items have been used but still useless
    most rangers status has increased but still useless
    my master ranger, like XAN, Masked Moon, ALICE, SOL, Opera James and SHU just like a trash

    1. While I've yet to try the new stages yet, its probably a good thing that alot more strategy is required for the game. Those of us who are hardcore players are then happy to continue grinding, trying new approaches and team balances and ultimately - spending more money for the game.

      If the stages were too easy, I think I'd be even more annoyed. But if they're currently too difficult - that sounds ok to me.

      And I think that just because someone has Susu mastered doesn't automatically entitlte them to just breeze through the stages. In hearing this, it actually makes me a litle bit happier.

      Delete
    2. But still there should be viable strategies for all of stages
      Currently, there is none for 122+ stages.
      Let just wait and see some player discover the right strategy

      Delete
    3. A different point of view regarding strategy:

      The strategic depth of a game depends upon its balance between luck and skill. Luck (the Gacha) is right now more important than it ever has been, because the chances of having enough powerful rangers to experiment with your team composition is lower than ever, and having the perfect team composition is now more important than ever. People above are offering strategies that involve all the powerful splash rangers, for example, or a mastered Cherina. Very different to the days when strategy meant grabbing a Warrior Jessica or a Clara from one of the boss stages.

      In any case, when even the Gold Brown can't survive more than a few seconds, and his entire purpose is to act as a massive overpowered tank, it does suggest something is skewed power-wise!

      Delete
    4. now I'm stuck at stage 123, the monster dice it really sucks, a variety of strategies I've tried but still failed, golden brown just became a trash on the field, the power is not balanced between the ranger with monsters, imagine it took five to ten ranger sacrificed even more for defeat one enemy, the splash ranger was also useless because long cooldown, maybe I should wait to see WEI S strategy in completing the stage

      I hope there is one easy stage to leveling up the player without use items like stage 104 or 112

      Delete
    5. It's only been 12 hours. It takes time to ram your head against a challenge before you get it right. It's probably not impossible, just not there yet. We waited weeks for this. I don't know about you, but I don't really want to be done with the new area in less than a day.

      Delete
    6. I don't want it to be easy either, but as someone who can't justify putting even a cent into the game, it's natural to be nervous when the current balance is geared to challenging those with Master super rangers! For example, I initially was pleased to pick up Luis this time around, after a month and a half since my last useful Gacha result... Then it sunk in that a 60 Luis is still fodder in stages 120+. I find the PvP dull and repetitive, so I'm really wanting to milk as much fun as I can from the new stages, but at the moment it seems all I can do is wait for more rubies and another double 5* event, as all my rangers are maxed. But I want to play! :)

      Delete
  8. Panic your list of upgraded rangers says that only DPS changed, Sol's DPS went from 37k to 39k, I would not call that a significant upgrade by any stretch. It was his HP that had the significant upgrade. Xan is in the same boat, negligible DPS change, significant HP upgrade, he has over 800k HP now, but still gets owned by those mushrooms. Seems the rangers team have taken to heart the previous update criticism of the new stages being too easy, and just made them impossible instead >.<

      Just like Sophie below, I used him and he had his moment to shine in the final stage of the last round. Prior to that though, never touched him haha

  9. I can't even pass lvl 120. Any tips guys?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. I passed 120 using a mastered Shu, a mastered lowbie (I used Glenn) and a lot of spamming - basically sending both out non-stop, using the powerups at the critical moments, and hoping for the best. The hardest enemy in Skyscraper for me was always the blue mini-boss (Navy?). The poodle boss has fearsome splash, but with Shu's superior range, she just wasted her time throwing herself on the lowbies.

      No doubt there are much less frantic ways to do it, especially now that some of the other free rangers have been buffed...

      Delete
    2. I did that with 3 lowbies (Scott, Bella, and Glenn) and 2 long rangers (Witch Cony and Opera James). Not sure if it helps ... after I use the first tornado, when the enemies going to attack your long rangers, use I ice, and then invincibility and meteors together. If you have a mastered Shu it should be easier (I cleared 120 before Shu first appeared)

  10. They say there is more chance to get 5 stars too.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Yes, there is double event gacha just like usual.
      However, I think the percentage to get 5* is slightly decreasing compared to the usual event. Some of my group members in LINE said that. And I also experience such thing (or just me that is terribly unlucky to get only clara, from 1 x 100 gacha).

      Delete
    2. Yeah. Bought the 100 one and got only Xan as 5 star.

    3. Well, for me, I got KSM, DancerKing Boss, Xan, Honey and Hiphop Brown is 9 spins. So I guess I'm quite lucky :)

    1. I've requested the developers for friendship gacha event to get ola brown

      Delete
    2. Ola Brown in 100point Friendship Gacha? They would be seriously undervaluing him. Not sure if thats sarcasm or not, as the reply didn't seem so far fetched from the original post.

      Though I don't oppose perhaps having only certain Rangers in the Friendship Gacha to add another aspect to gameplay.

      I'm looking forward to spending some time on the weekend with the new stages!

      Delete
    3. Agree, Ola in FP gacha would not only infuriate the people who did spend the money on him when he was "limited edition" but would severely undercut the game's credibility as to what "limited edition" means. If it means a month later you can get it practically for free, then why bother paying now?

      Delete
    4. Agreed. My friend got ola brown in the premium 100 rubies gacha. If it comes back in friendship gacha, he will be really angry.

    2. Believe that strategy is no longer viable. It was only valid for the first 60 to 90 minutes post release. Developers quickly hit 132 with the hammer of doom after most people early on passed it by cleaving tower.

  13. Hi everyone, correct me if I have recalled this wrongly. I thought the friendship points to purchase the XP boost used to be the first button (on the left) with the 3 rubies choice to the right yes? Their positions have been switched now.

  14. that dice is just ridiculous in 123. high health, high damage.

    5 of them instant kill all your ranged rangers, luis, ksm, doesn't matter. only ola and dsb are safe, because of the range. And the rabbits push on the front line too constantly, dwight and susu dont seem to be a problem for them too, so ola and dsb will die a bit after they pushed. Seems whirlwind, ice, invincibility and then mass cherina/dumpy plus other heavy hitters is the only viable option now.

    Everytime i log in they are updating, so seems they are still working out the balancing. Which is still terrible now.

    1. I just hate the dice. I am still at 123 because when I kill 1 dice, wait for a short while, another one just come out, cannot pass 123, gold brown arrived but no luck:(

  15. Actually spent 3000Y on some rubies today which I normally dont do on pay to play games but I really enjoy this game. I've been forever stuck on level 116 and even after getting some good 5 stars out of the gatcha, I still stuck with the same team. I got sick of not being able to beat the level and ended up beating it following WEI S strategy using 2 fodder rangers, which is really upsetting. Now I'm stuck on 120 but I guess I'm about to do the same with that one too. I have a line friend that already beat all the new levels. Looking at his stats he has a mastered cherina, and thats all he needed to pass all of the levels. Mine's only level 60. Must be nice

      to be honest, i was thinking it will be lucifer cony, because Splash(Sol), Attack(Alice), Health(Xan), and Balance(Masked Moon) is available. I'm just thinking maybe it's speed time? (Lucifer, Hiphop, or Honey)

      But.. sorcerer? oh my.. kinda feel sorry to those who spent money to get mastered sorcerer :(

  18. I believe in this area, timing, aside from precise ranger selection, are once again a very deciding factor for those without mastered premium rangers. Tried 122 and 123 several times with the some rangers combination and finally get over them. The freebies and Sol did pretty helpful though. 124 definitely need some heavy tanker though, haven't figure out which droppable rangers can be used to substitute master-bernard or master-dwight...

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Totally agree. From all the videos I saw, Mastered Dwight or Susu are the only two which could hold the front line for a bit (even Golden Brown becomes a toy in front of mushroom guys). But that is half of the picture though, one needs some mastered long-ranged splashers with high DPS - like Ola Brown - in order to make the plan work. I tried many times with Mastered Dwight, Mastered SongCo and Mastered Shu (didn't have Ola Brown mastered) and have been unsuccessful in getting stage 124. There are no strategy for free rangers discovered at this moment.

      Delete
    2. Mastered bernard could not get me pass the 124.
      I only have dwight lvl 75, and still could not get pass 124.
      The stage would really needhigh long range splash dps like ola brown.
      Still couldn'tfi d strategy for free ranger

      Delete
    3. Same situation here. Ola is the one splasher with attack speed, long range and DPS necessary to counter the dices. Even mastered Shu of higher health gets eradicated the very moment the front line gets pushed.

      Delete
    4. This guy can pass stage 124 using mastered Bernard (and others), but neither Dwight, nor Susu.

      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XEtiUJeYFWI

      My Bernard is only lv70/70. I don't have ANY rangers such as Olá Brown, HipHop Brown, Susu, Hitman, Dwight... So I play mostly with free rangers and the help of my unmastered best premium rangers which are Bernard (70, as previously stated), Cherina (60), KSM (65), Dancer King Boss (60), Dumpy (60) and Sorcered Cony (75).

      There's NO WAY I can pass this stage or others more difficult to come if they don't lower the difficulty or someone finds a exploitable blind spot, which still hasn't happened for the time being. Without cheating, of course.

      If they're waiting for me to BUY rubies, well, they can wait until they die of old age as long as they don't change the gacha system so it WON'T hand me whatever rangers I have mastered already. That's crucial for me and it should be for anyone, SPECIALLY big spenders whose chances of getting new rangers are ridiculous because the number of rangers grow but they have every other one mastered currently, and the odds of getting the new rangers is confirmed to be lower.

      Therefore, given my luck in gacha, I won't pay a single dime for a bunch of pews and danes. So, if I can't pass, I won't pay. I'll just quit and play some other thing than makes more sense.

    5. @Dali, well, good riddance... surely Line won't miss you

    6. Of course not! There's no point in arguing that absolute truth. They're obviously more into dumb people who are willing to give them large amounts of cash in exchange for three starred rangers. You didn't seem to understand my point, so maybe you are one of them and you can start wasting your hard earned $$$ to ensure their everlasting happiness :)

      Delete
    7. lol...just because you're so unlucky, you're degrading yourself by calling others dumb for spending their own money. sofar i 'only' spent 43,52 usd, and get all rangers i need, and i don't have to get all the new powerful rangers out there. I consider it as 'game money' just like when i buy PS4 or Wii Disc... 43,52 is not that hard to earn btw... i hope you really are quitting soon, less enemy for battle and more chance to get higher amount of ruby for me :)

      Delete
    8. oneng: I wouldn't call you "dumb," but as the same time USD$43 is actually a significant amount of money , and telling people it isn't "hard to earn" overlooks that some players don't have the luxury of spending it. I'm the sole support for another person, and have many dollars in medical costs per month. People are fair to spend as they like, but please don't devalue what every cent means to some of us.

      Note that you can buy excellent, full-value games with hundreds of hours of gameplay for less than $5 on GOG.com, so comparing a $43 investment in LINE Rangers to 'game money' also just emphasises how overpriced it is. :)

      Delete
    9. Oneng, you just talked about luck. And, yes. You are so lucky, congratulations. But, if you are so lucky, why buying rubies at all, why couldn't you get the rangers you wanted just with free ones, why there are people who pay thousands? Just because of that, it's a question of luck, it's a scam.

      And don't worry about me being on pvp. With my rangers I'm not an obstacle for you, just a number. A very high number in the rankings. If you score higher than me, it doesn't make any difference whether I'm playing or not. And, if you can't score higher than me with "the rangers you wanted", well... Hahahaaa

      Delete
    10. And maybe I overreacted calling "dumb" players who spend their money in this absurdity of gacha. Sone of them are rich, some of them are lucky, all of them do with their money whatever they want. I'd rather spending my money on useful things or if it comes to leisure sone beers with friends or games that make more sense. Sadly, as long as there are people contributing to preserve this system it will prevail and this one won't be one of those on which I'll be willing to invest on. It's my choice and I think it's quite reasonable

      Delete
    11. @sophie, thats why i compare it with Wii and PS4 disc, i don't even know what gog.com is... and i said its easy to earn because it really does. I live in germany, and 43 bucks is like less than half day part time job... i'm sorry if you have it harder...
      if you think its overprice, maybe you should consider other games, everyone has their own preference, just like not everyone wanna play PS4 or Wii... stay with gog.com maybe... there's a reason why there are lots of games out there...

      Delete
    12. @dali i was lucky and the most importance is patience... wait until there is special event where there are double bonus to buy ruby (195 ruby for 21. something $ ) and only gacha on special events, and know when to stop spinning gacha (i got four 5* and two 4* in one spin, and i didn't continue thinking i'm on a lucky strike...and wait for another double chance) adding the ruby you get from completing stages and winning a special place in a battle, i'm sure you get lots of chance to get a nice rangers... youtube how to gacha properly, i know it might seems silly since its random, but hey, i got nice rangers following his method. even as i got 2 gacha ticket from line few days ago, i got prince james by following that method...and i will never step into thousand bucks area... 40-50 is my limit for a game, as i consider it similar to cost of a nice Wii/PS4 disc...

      and i'm not worry fighting against you in pvp :) its your ranking that i was talking about, since i can't play regularly (some people play the battle right away after the special feathers appear) and you might have more time on your hands...i always stuck on 600-700 rank since i can't play as much as i want and my special feathers just sitting there waiting... if you stop playing, then one 'high rank' will empty... multiple it by the amount of others who have the same principle as yours... then my chance to get lots of rubies will also be higher :)

      Delete
    13. Oneng, again, don't worry. 600-700 rank is very high, IMHO, specially if you don't have much free time, like me. I'm always on the edge of 20k rank, somethmes 30 rubies, sometimes 40. For instance, today I'm ranking 22k and I think it's gonna stay like that, sadly.

      I found some of those "methods" on youtube, yes, and I don't trust them. I don't believe that there is nothing but randomness and therefore luck involved in the premium gacha.

      What I am saying is that the way in which gacha works is not reasonable, and it becomes less and less reasonable with each new upgrades because if the number of rangers keeps growing, and the chances of getting the newest ones are lower (point confirmed by line people in private to some players), getting the new ones is VERY hard and requires a LOT of cash, not to everyone of course, there's people who win the lottery with worse odds, but as average. Just dig into this very same spot some articles on the math required to calculate the odds of getting new rangers and the amount of cash you need to spend as an average in order to get them mastered, and you'll see what I'm talking about.

      The system I proposed is much more equitative and respectful with everyone:

      For players that don't spend much, or nothing, the odds are the same, but discarding the farmable rangers which everyone shoult try to master first thing. Specially the three starred ones which are available in free gacha as well.

      For players that have spent A LOT it's a way to guarantee that they'll always get the newest stuff as a reward of their continuous commitment to the game.

      But, as it is now, I can predict that most big spenders will stop wasting their money, because they will have ridiculous odds of getting something that they didn't have already, and people who has spent little or nothing so far won't start now that it's getting harder. We will continue collecting free rubies and eventually maybe get bored, quit, and let the game die, which is not desirable as a developer.

      I don't know if you're getting my point, but I think that it's quite obvious, actually.

    14. ahh, so the 'very high rank' was only 20k sumtin... you were right... i dont have to worry... or care... stop or continue playing bring no difference... bye bye then... from line rangers... and me.

    4. It deletes your chats on the other phone, but you can still log in with all your info on the other device. I frequently switch from my phone to Bluestack (android on PC) and its only slightly a pain to log in back and forth. Long as you dont need to keep chat history, it saves all data. The data for rubies and such are saved on the server, not locally, or we'd be able to hack the game very easily.

    5. Not sure if this helps or not, but my partner uses his iPhone and iPad to play Line Rangers. He has only LINE installed on his iPhone and Line Rangers on both the iPhone and iPad.

      Whenever he wants to switch devices, he has to log back in. So on the iPad he uses his email address. When he goes back to his iPhone, he allows LINE to communicate with Line Rangers again and logs in that way.

      But try not to install LINE onto both devices, because that is when you'll be asked to delete all your LINE information from the other device. You only lose chat history and media etc, nothign else.

    6. Hmm that's interesting. Didn't know if you could play without installing Line.

    7. thanks for the amazing replies, gonna test it out

    8. Though my input comes late, hope it helps.
      I have tried moving the game from android to iphone just last month and found online info all pointing to the fact that game data such as rangers and progression will be preserved as it is stored on game servers.
      However, rubies will be lost when switching OS. I used up the rubies had was left with 3.
      Switched the line account over first, then activated the game. Line chat data had to be activated first. And it was set up and re-logged in via email.
      Next was the game. After it started up I found myself with 10 rubies.
      My personal experience.

      Delete
    9. I also changed device, from ipad to Android.
      I still had everything, but some of the free rubies were gone. 100 to be exact. So i logged back in to the IOS device and there were the 100 rubies. It seems that all data is shared by line, except most of the free rubies. They are given to your IOS game center account or your Google play account. I used all 100 rubies on IOS and then i logged back in on Android, and still had the new rangers.

    10. Wanted to make sure you guys saw because i didn't hit reply in this thread last night:

      But pretty much all the replies are correct, thanks so much


      I can confirm the best way to do it is to only install Line on one of your devices if you wish to switch between devices. Just install Line rangers on all devices you want to use and Login to play!

    11. I also changed. Used to be at stage 116, level 62, had cherina Bernard hitman master sol Luke charismatic jess hip hop brown sorcerer cony and now... everything reset.

  23. I'm stuck at 126 and I don't think I can clear it as I've tried all kind of ranger line-ups.

    My Cherina is lvl 70 so I guess the only way is to spin the gacha to try get 2 more.

    Seems like LINE killed 2 birds with one stone here cos everybody was sitting at stage 120 waiting for new stages and they couldn't keep up. So now either you pay up for gacha or it'll take a long while to clear these new stages.

    1. Well, as I just said above, I won't buy rubies if they don't change premium gacha to not hand me rangers that I have mastered already (like pets in Cookie Run, which is the ONLY reasonable way to go).

      In fact, no one should do it, but people can do with their money whatever they want, even setting it on fire just for amusement... Which is actually a better investment than gacha, IMHO.

      Delete
    2. Yep, I've stopped buying too. Just spend the 400+ I've gotten from Battle and got about 7-8 5stars all of which I've already mastered. Don't even get a single one I need.

    3. Btw, I'm stucked at 128 instead of 126.

      Anyone can give me some tips I'll forever in your debt.

    1. 123 is not so hard. Here you are a couple of approaches at the reach of most players:

      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L6tUNhvb3fc

      So don't give up just now. Wait until you see 124, then you can give up. ;)

      Delete
    2. The 1st relies on using a friend with maxed premium rangers.
      The 2nd relies on level 99 maxed crystal upgrades.

      New areas are just cash grabs. Impossible without paying for the best newest rangers.

      Delete
    3. My mineral levels are 84 speed and 85 storage. I have not any mastered premium ranger, and I passed 123. If I don't recall wrong, I used SoCo 75, mastered Opera James, mastered Shu, Thunder 70 and Cherina 60, which I barely used on the stage. I'm sure that there are many other combinations that work. Stages from 124 are another story. There, I agree with you, and I'm quiting from the game myself if they don't lower the difficulty, but current 123 is still doable with reasonable mineral level and combinations of rangers that most players have.

    4. well ... now i'm stucked at 124 and absolutely broke hahaha T.T

    5. Welcome and make yourself comfortable. It's getting pretty crowded here :D

    6. I just passed stage 124 after lots of feathers and coins spent, following Wei S' method on youtube. DKB was being used so it's not totally using "free" rangers. Gold Brown's appearance is once again vital (aside from using a friend's help with mastered dwight and/or susu)

      Delete
    7. Nah, I cleared the stage too, following the method in the video, 7 times, and I only got Golden Brown the very first once. Besides, at the seventh try I got the only SoCo I needed from the roulette, so I won't have to try again, yoohooo!

      Now waiting for someone to figure out how to clear 125 which seems impossible to me again, even now that I have mastered SoCo. :(

  26. 124 is way too impossible for me.... a mastered Dwight only lasts a few seconds. I can handle that fine. What irritates me is the moment he gets pushed back anyone aside from Ola gets killed because the dice guys have such crazy splash range. I think you need a Mastered Dwight and at least a 70 Ola Brown to get by this. Ive been trying with M. Shu and M. SongCo and they just get whooped the first moment dwight gets pushed back. It's quickly becoming too tedious for me.

    1. Yes, but you have mastered Bernard, right?

      I can't see a way of doing that without either mastered Bernard, Susu or Dwight.

    3. i use louise in 124 he can miss the attack from the dice guy by jumping.

      Delete
    4. Actually, I think Luis (using) and Manager's (used before ) jumping is just an animation. The picture still turns red from an attack. If the attack is lethal, the animation is still interrupted and the unit dies before making the attack. Maybe I'm just seeing things.

      Delete
    5. Exactly. You can see that the character gets hit when he turns red. And that happens no matter wether he's jumping or not

      Delete
    6. Yes. Otherwise any jumping thing could avoid it. Rangers do not have special powers(apart from some which are splash).

  27. Do you have master Thunderbrown? If you don't perhaps can try Masked Moon with HipHop Brown plus SoCo.

    This guy's videos helped me a lot.

    1. Nope, my Thunder still 70. I also don't have a single Olá Brown... I'll try similar things but I guess my mineral level is too low (85) and I hate grinding so much. The requirements of XP and coins are out of this world, I can't be playing the whole day, I don't understand how people can be lv99 since weeks ago, honestly, hahaha

    2. Nah, I tried mastered Masked with mastered Shu and/or lv75 SoCo... Died miserably as always

  28. Enough for buying rubies. I spent 300 rubies (100 free + 200 buy for the event). And this is what I got.
    1. SoCo, Ryan, Thunder, Clara, WitchCony, Opera
    2. Pew, Toti, Hiphop, BestCBrown, SongCony, WitchCony
    3. FightMoon, Dane, MachoMoon, BestCConyx2, Frankie

    300 rubies but no new rangers.. such as prince, cherina, and other

    2. Really, everyone should stop wasting their money in this scam right now. As long as there are so many of you spending $$$, they won't change the gacha system to something more reasonable like, as I mentioned above, don't ever give us whatever rangers we already have mastered

      Delete
    3. While it's obviously one's own choice on spending money, I am with Dali here. Unfortunately, with the current system, it's hard to justify spending anymore cash here. Thankfully, they give out rubies through many means now, so we do have choices not to spend cash and just patiently collecting free rubies. One problem with the new area is that, certain mastered premium rangers is required to pass the entire area. And this, in some ways, isn't really a fair system. Those without the needed master ranger will either have to use hard-earned cash or patiently saving those hard-earned free rubies (or wait till they balance out the area, just like what they did to the previous areas after some time)

  29. Okay so suddenly, Dwight attack speed became Slow, and Hitman attack speed became Fast (after I spent money to get him mastered). Is this some kind of sick joke? I REALLY HATE LINE RANGERS NOW!!!!!!

  31. They reduce the enemy' stats in maze of illusion
    So it is good news for us. I can pass 125-127 because of the nerf

  32. Did the developer tune down the mineral production rate or increase the cooldown of some rangers? I find I cannot spam my tank rangers as fast as before - fortunately, as Shuy1n pointed out, they did adjust the enemies' stats closer to sanity (still insane to me).

  34. hi everyone, do any of u have cherina and have acquired the maze of illusion's treasure? i wonder if they reduce cherina's attack speed.. when they first release maze of illusion, i managed to get 88% of the treasure and feels cherina did attack faster.. but then they nerf and change the tower HP couple hours later.. since then, i feel like the treasure has no effect on cherina .. cmiiw..

    1. 124 is pretty easy now actually.. i heard they nerf the enemy's damage..
      i have tried several combination of mastered susu and 2 long range hitter (not mastered) to finish this stage..
      those long range are any 2 of the following rangers, ola brown / shu / dkb / prince james.. u can switch these to other long range ranger hitter that doesnt get splashed by the dice..
      fyi, i only use 3 rangers i mentioned above and finished it without using item.. i focused on spamming susu to keep the enemy far away from my hitter. If u dont have master susu, u can switch it to 3 of these tank / semi tank such as xan, masked moon, sol, bernard, dwight, thunderbrown, etc..
      imo, with this combination and some item, i believe u can clear the stage.. just make sure u dont lose ur long range hitter..
      hopefully this information helps... :)
