I didn't play much, but I'll share my experience.
I just hit level 3 arena after playing over and over again the Hellhound PvE. I tried 2 times Darkwind Fastness - and on my second attempt I arrived to the final boss and lost. Didn't try it again because I was losing a lot of time.
I tried PVP twice (only training room). In my first experience I got rekt. The good thing was that I still got a reward at the end. In my second attempt the server got me disconnected, but I was losing anyway.
So as you see my experience is limited, but here is what I can answer to your questions:
1. Regarding on how to get more gold coins:
Quests:
- you can get 100 coins/month from completing 100 duels in the ranking room, although my only finished PvP was in the training room and it was registered here. So it's either a bug or the text is wrong
- you can get 10 coins/day if you win 2 duels in the ranking or training room
- so from the 2 above you can get a maximum of 400 gold coins per month
- from completing Dungeon Quests - you get 5 gold coins for beating the Hellhound, 7 coins for Darkwind Fastness and 10 coins for Immortal Nanhua. Probably you get something for the Giant Mechanical Bull, but I just can't see it in my quest screen - this can probably be another bug
PvP Ranking
- if you go to the ranking room you'll notice 2 cups in the bottom left - one silver one and one gold one - the gold one is monthly rewards for a good position in the ranking room. But probably we'll never get there because there is a too big difference between what happens in Chinese ladder and the rest of the world ladder due to the fact that most probably the Chinese arena was available way before the one we had in the English version so they have a big ahead start. In a post I suggested to the devs to make 2 separate ranking sections one for the Chinese version and one for the English version of the game. In this way maybe we would stand a chance. But we’ll see what happens.
- here in the ranking room it’s listed that you can get the 200 gold coins if you are ranked positions 51-100 – probably the most accessible place for us, if any, but actually in the ranking room all stops to position 60 – this could be another bug
But anyway why do you need that bad these gold coins? What do you want to do with them? Unless the shop gets richer with the level advancing there aren’t many things to buy there – I see only 1 orange, 2 red items and 1 tactic card that I wouldn’t buy anyway because they are not that good comparing to what it is in the red altar
2. Regarding clearing level 3 arena
- I just tried it once to see how it is and got past the first fight and lost on the second one, so I don’t know how is the boss, but from what I saw you need tactic cards to do damage against infantries because most of the units are Infantry
- you need a good tank hero with a lot of life and send it in front to do damage and take damage (here I only tried Dian Wei, but you can use also LuBu and others) – in this way the enemy’s army won’t reach your back line. In your back line you need good rangers that will do area damage because the infantry will get clumped up next to your hero. You also need a good support hero that will heal and boost your army (like Liu Bei, Cao Cao) and most probably another healer (a priest or a Taoist)
- so I would go 2 heroes (tank + healer/support), 1 Enchanter for area damage, a Taoist and/or Priest for Healing and the Taoist also has area damage and probably some Eudemons – Black tortoise and Green Dragon (but I didn’t unlock them because they are level 4 arena and I’m only 3)
The most important thing with this Clash of Warlords game is not strategy, but how much money & time you invest to higher your gear. And probably this is the most frustrating aspect of the game. Some challenges are that big that you have to give a lot of money to raise your VIP level and buy gold to get a lot of red equipment. So in the end barely any strategy.
So in the end the answer is if you want to beat anything there you have to buy more VIP levels. I only have 5 red items and probably will stay here for a while as I don’t have access to the Altar of Red Equipment, as I don’t have VIP 5 and most probably won’t buy it. But in the game center I saw that you have 34 red items and this is more than half of what it is (I counted 60 red items in the Red shop) so normally you would have very high chance to advance if you would use strategy.
3. Regarding upgrading army:
- I didn’t have many silver tokens, because I didn’t buy them, so only what I got from fights. With that I upgraded my Enchanters from level 1 to level 2. While you get the stages of level 1 the number of Enchanters increased. After getting to level 2 I got a +3 damage bonus that is real good
- so in the end why don’t you upgrade your army? What do you do with your silver tokens?
