The Most Cost Effective Road for 3 Factions
by aesthete
I got some of the points if you plan to beat lv130 map, and potential lv140 in the future.
* As of the middle term gamer(lv100-120), the most cost effective road for 3 factions are:
Zeus: Belle AoE - Maia AoE - Zeus+Notus+Hera+Maia+2 Buglers
Athena: Belle AoE - Syrinx+Dancer+3 buglers - Dancer+Syrinx+Hemera+The Oneiroi+Asteria+2 bugler
Poseidon: Belle AoE - Lotis+Dancer+3 buglers - Dancer+Lotis+Triton+Eurybia+Hephaestus+2 bugler
* As for attributes wash
You do need to wash 2 or 3 attributes for some prestige heros. Actually attribute wash is the most rewardable investment.
Zeus: Maia(Spirit), Zeus(Valor+Spirit/Element), Notus (Vlaor+Spirit), Hera (Valor+Spirit)
Athena: Syrinx(Spirit), Hemera(Valor+Spirit)The Oneiroi(Valor+Spirit)+Asteria(Valor+Element)
Poseidon: Lotis(Spirit), Triton(Valor+Spirit), Eurybia(Spirit), Hephaestus(All 3 attr)
The wash rules are: if you have calvary/infatry, better to wash them and put in front, since they can block/dodge, otherwise just wash the attr good for attack. Hephaestus is an exception, being an solid tank and devasdating killer at the same time, worth to invest more on him.
Better to prepare at least one elemental shield. The mage NPCs in later maps are formidable.
* The attack of Sally Outburst is weak, SS/CB would be your main force when you step into lv120 map, so don't waste time on any Sally Outburst hero, even she looks beauty at that moment. Remember to train a hero means millions of experience, and also laurels/gold to wash him/her. Train as few hero as you can.
* Almost all continuos BM needs both weapon and mount, and the attack is just the same as regular BM. to use those heros, washing Valor+Spirit is a must, and need to enhance at least 1 purple weapon + 1 red mount. So think it twice before you do it, can you afford them?
just bring a few updates from lv 140 maps, might help some forward thinking.
The BM of lv 140 map boss is, guess what, All Round Ambuscade!!!
New healing unit, heal the single unit with fewest troops, 100% successful rate.
The attack of Crash and Burn is enhanced ... you can see what it brings to

(The attack of Crash and Burn is enhanced ... you can see what it brings to => Triton for Poseidonians, C&B heroes are not for other factions)
Tips for Poseidonians by aesthete
yellow book does work with Heph, not sure anybody tried that, especially in lv110 or lv120 map. lv100 yellow book gives you 900+ elemental attack...
Ok, it's a delimma to decide who's the 2nd attacker for Poseidonian. 1st attacker usually Lotis or Daphne. For Zeusain it's easy to go for pure BM build, just because of Zeus. But for other faction, how to arrange a formation with 2 BMs? 1 dancer/2bug/2BM? 2dancer/1bug/2BM? or 3bug/2BM? is that possible to make your 2 BMs fire every round? My opinion is, don't use 2 non-continuous BMs at all, choose a mech or mage for your 2nd attacker. to be specific, Porcy or Heph.
Why I give up 2 BMs? there are several reasons
1. BM becomes less efficient in later maps, in lv 130 map, only SS/C&B can do some decent dmg on NPC, others just look like a joke. even in lv120 valkyrie, it takes Lotis 3+ hits to kill a NPC, no mention daphne. w/o Zeus blessing, BM is not as beautiful as before. At the same time, Heph w/ ~1K yellow book can still do ~3K dmg on NPC. the cost of yellow book and red mount is roughly the same.
2. after passing valkyrie, you'll get a red book. Then you can enchant it and boost heph's dmg. You don't have to throw away your yellow book, give it to ascle, now he can heal ~1K every round. And, now it's an option to put Triton on, he's the most formidable attacker in Poseidon faction.
3. even you choose porcy and enhanced a purple weapon, it's not a waste. When Porcy cannot do much dmg (probably in lv130 map), you can equip the purple weapon on Heimdall, or Thrud, or Sult. Anyway, to prepare a good weapon is not a bad idea.
Another caveat is, if you are not big $ players, better to step away from those non-stop BM heroes recruitable in lv110 and lv120 maps (except Heimdall). They are super expensive (mount+weapon+wash 2 attr), and don't last very long.

good advice by aesthete.
if u dont spend a decent (or rather, indecent lol) amount of $ on batheo, the best way to stay competitive is to minimise training and washing heros, aka choosing cost effective heros that can last long term.
dont be fooled by the BRs of those Vip 8 and above, because they can get twice or thrice as much (or even more depending on how much they spam) drachs, as a free player or low vip daily, and neither do they have to camp legions for millions of laurels to dual wash heros.
