Hi. When a villain mouths off to me on the streets of New Amsterdam and asks the tired question, “who the hell are you?”, I tell them Call me Chained Angel: Heaven’s answer to trash like you. For readers of the Sentinel, I just want to be your friend and good neighbor Angel. I might not have been here for long, having just met Director Nova a bit ago when I arrived here in town, but I’ve been around more than one block a time or two. If you have some time for some friendly advice, pull up a chair, sit down, and have a cup of tea. Let’s talk.
What are your plans now that you’ve started your journey? Are you going to do missions for BADGE and fight the good fight? Are you here to make a name for yourself and show off in the Fight Clubs that show up just about everywhere? Could it be that you want to climb the mountain and stake your claim as King? Maybe you want to join a league and become known across the globe, gaining notoriety, fame, celebrity, perhaps TV show of your exploits featuring an attractive, yet non-threatening, racially diverse cast? Are you only here for a bit of fun and easy distraction?
Oh, so many questions. Let me simplify it for you. What are you looking for? There are many ways to succeed here, but what is the best way for you? I cannot tell you how many prospective heroes I have seen come and go because they have tried to rise too high and weren’t able to fly with the big shots right away. Is it even possible to do that? Of course it is. Anything is possible, but at a price. You can buy your spot into pretty much anything, but without the journey, is it really worth it?
Now, don’t get me wrong. There is nothing wrong with buying shiny new laser guns and other elite toys from time to time. After all, spreading the wealth helps keep the world running. What I would like you to consider is to take your time and enjoy the journey. Even if you aren’t a playboy millionaire, there is still plenty of action for you here.
Putting my playful semantics aside, let’s get to brass tacks about the game we find ourselves playing. When you first start out here at Heroes Rising, it is easy to see the opportunity to go up, up, and away. That isn’t an easy climb. It takes Morphons, time spent leveling, and lots of friends to get to the top tiers. It won’t happen overnight. My friendly advice is to slow down, enjoy the experience, and don’t rush it. The people at the top worked hard to get there. Why don’t you and I work smart to accomplish the same thing?
First off, I want to talk about building your powers. You can only have so many power cards active, based on your level and your number of team-mates. (You can find more on this in the Game Guide section of These City Streets, where you will find a great deal of useful information.) There are ways to get good cards without breaking your bank.
Here is a little secret I will share with you, and only you (wink).
Under the battle tab is a section at the end labeled EVENTS. You will find the LEADERBOARD for the KOTM (King of the Mountain) fights and various other events that last a day or two. These other events are based on different Divisions, varying based on character levels. If you participate in these events while in the lowest tier of players, you have the opportunity to earn cards just like higher level players. MOST of them are even THE VERY SAME CARDS!
For example, you can buy power cards such as Animal Senses (ATT 1, DEF13, MOV6) for 142 bux. If you enter an event and place to win a Bronze level (for which there are ten slots available), you can get two blue defense cards as a prize: Nth Dimensional Senses (ATT6, DEF27, MOV24) and Ice Shield (ATT18, DEF33, MOV18). By all means, buy the Power Cards you can afford based on your career, but don’t miss out on these cards too. Since there is a level cap to these tiers for the Divisions, and the fact it is way easier to gain experience at lower levels, people can advance out of this golden opportunity to get good cards with little opposition.
Just a bit of food for thought, sweetie. Nibble on it for a bit.
Here are a few other tidbits for you to consider while at lower levels.
· Doing Missions in New Amsterdam will get you 6 free cards for defeating mini-bosses, such as Firebrand and Impulse.
· Each time you get a new level, you gain 10 Morphons. Every time you join a fight club, you get 2 Morphons and 10 Crystals. FREE. If you remain at lower levels for longer and bank your earnings, you will be able to purchase better cards and gear. Don’t spend your hard-earned currencies if you don’t have to.
· Watch the battles you pick. Each opponent you face has a Win count entry. If they have a high win count, let’s say double your win count, they are likely a smart player who is camping at low levels. You may want to avoid that fight and loss of valuable effort. Move on to the next sucker, I mean challenger.
· Bank your Bux. Hit the blue bar on the game interface and Deposit your Buxs on hand frequently. If you have Bux in your pockets and are challenged, when you lose a fight, that other player will steal your lunch money and run. You won’t be getting that back without another fight.
Dang it, while I was talking to you, I forgot to bank my Buxs and Might Matt took $1247 from me. I’m not calling the police, but you can be sure who I will be seeking vengeance on later, bucko. (Rolls her sleeves up as she talks)
I guess that’s my signal time is up, friends. Maybe we can get together again and talk accessorizing, I mean Gear, in the near future. I want to spend some time deciding if I want to go Supernatural, Physical, or Magic. I’m not sure which one is me yet.
It’s been a pleasure.
Angel
(P.S.- If you see Mighty Matt ID: 20248, let him know I am looking for him…)
