Fortress Saga: AFK RPG – Quick Guide to The Reckoning, The Saintess, & The God-King

Explanation of The Reckoning, The Saintess, & The God-King

By Dat Pariah.

God-King Solum:

Orignally a terrible unit who only Taunted and got DR from specifically ranged attacks. Since the Hero Buff Patch, he has since been changed to 80% DR against all attacks. While it sounds good on paper, it still isn’t as useful as it could be. Maybe further testing will reveal some niche use for him. All Hail the God-King!

Saintess Yaksha:

The devs have tried pushing the Yaksha Agenda on players by introducing 6 consecutive heroes (Sonic, Shadow, Knuckles, Tails, Sebastian, and Metal) in the hope that people will use her. Her kit isn’t terrible, but there are much better uses for a hero slot than the very niche use cases she has. Really fun with Metal though, surprisingly.

Sebastian, God of Seahorses:

He’s another case of “really cool concept, lackluster execution”. Most beastial heroes aren’t the greatest damagers, but his knock back effect is useful for waving. Potentially has a use case during HP fort transitioning to HP hero, but was unable to test myself. Also he single handedly changed the name of crabs everywhere. Peak.

The RECkoning:

REC and DEF are, as of Nov 11 2024, absolutely dead stats. At one point REC had a niche use in fort HP builds with some DWK shenanigans, but has since been killed off from patches, buffs, etc. One day though, the REC meta we have been waiting for will happen!

Balance Meta:

Of course going all in on either HP or ATK will be much more efficient, it’s entirely possible to go a “hybrid” build of putting gold into HP/HP% and ATK/ATK% equally. Please note that this is Not optimal, just a different way of playing and very doable to at least chapters 100-X. Side effects are becoming one of The Unchained, one who breaks the Shackles of The Meta Slave.
