Takeaways

• 😀 Efficient pathing is crucial on the Secluded Island Battle Drills map. Begin by evenly distributing members across the three bases and focus on connecting to the middle of the map.
• 😀 Each base has a similar capacity, with 11 members on the bottom base and 10 members on the top. Distribute your teams accordingly to maximize efficiency.
• 😀 The optimal strategy for most guilds is to connect the top two bases to the middle first, rather than immediately attacking outer strongholds.
• 😀 Buff towers are key to improving team performance. Ensure your teams connect to these towers to gain significant buffs, like increasing non-normal attack damage by up to 450%.
• 😀 Competitive guilds may prefer to attack outer strongholds immediately, but this is recommended only for teams with optimal heroes and strategies.
• 😀 Clearing passages efficiently is important. Use three-member teams to clear passages within 60 seconds to maximize stamina refunds and avoid wasting hero stamina.
• 😀 The 'reslotting strategy' allows you to clear up to nine passages on Day 1 by swapping out teams and reusing heroes with full stamina.
• 😀 For strongholds (guard towers with five enemies), use an AOE damage team with strong crowd control and healing to keep your heroes alive.
• 😀 Boss and mini-boss teams require high-damage output. The Corin team is particularly effective, and Mythic+ upgrades for key heroes like Corin are essential for success.
• 😀 Teams like the Mythic+ Lenya team or the Tan team with high ultimate damage are excellent alternatives for bosses and mini-bosses, especially if you lack other high-tier heroes.
• 😀 Completing the Battle Drills with one CER (combat efficiency rating) guarantees 500 diamonds, after which it’s mainly for titles and rankings. Focus on completing all missions to unlock Epic recruitments.

Q & A

What is the recommended strategy for connecting the bases on the Secluded Island map?

The recommended strategy is to start by evenly distributing your members across the three bases. Then, connect the bottom base through the middle by using the times 10 passageway. The two top bases should first connect at the question mark buff tower and then work their way down to the middle base to complete the connection.

How do the buffs work in the Secluded Island battle drills?

When you connect all three bases, you will receive two key buffs. These buffs increase non-normal attack damage by 150%, which compounds to 450% when shared with all connected allies. These buffs are essential for maximizing damage during the battle.

What is the purpose of the final buff tower in the Secluded Island map?

The final buff tower provides additional power to your team once all your bases are connected. After acquiring all buffs, your next goal is to attack the guard towers to earn a 30 capture bonus, which increases the slots in your command center for more heroes.

What is the best strategy for clearing passages during the Battle Drills?

The best strategy is to use three-member teams to clear passages efficiently. You should aim to clear each passage with more than 60 seconds left to receive the maximum stamina refund. After clearing passages, you can reslot heroes for different tasks, such as boss fights or stronghold farming.

What is the advantage of using 3-member teams for passages in Battle Drills?

Using 3-member teams for passages ensures that stamina is not wasted, as only three heroes will use stamina instead of five. This allows you to maximize stamina usage and clear more passages in a day, up to nine if using the reslotting strategy.

Can you explain the reslotting strategy for clearing multiple passages in a day?

The reslotting strategy involves initially using 10 slots for 3-member teams to clear passages. After each set of three passages, you reslot your heroes with other heroes to use the remaining 7 slots. This allows you to gain full stamina again and clear up to 9 passages in a single day.

What is the best team composition for taking down strongholds (guard towers)?

The best team for taking down strongholds should focus on AoE (Area of Effect) damage, crowd control, and healing. A strong team composition includes Iron for tanking, Smokey for healing, and other heroes that deal strong AoE damage to clear the enemy waves efficiently.

What team setup is recommended for boss and mini-boss fights?

For boss and mini-boss fights, the best team setup includes Corin with Mythic Plus, paired with Cassidy and Elsa (or a melee hero). Corin needs to be Mythic Plus to deal optimal damage. If you don’t have Elsa, you can substitute with other melee heroes that cast ultimates effectively.

Can I use Lena for boss fights if she is not Mythic Plus?

Lena can still be used in boss fights, but her effectiveness is significantly higher if she is Mythic Plus. If Lena is not Mythic Plus, you can substitute her with other heroes like Vala, and use Shakure for attack buffs to enhance damage output.

How do you maximize rewards in the Secluded Island Battle Drills?

To maximize rewards, focus on completing the Critical End Requirement (CER) for a reward of 500 diamonds. After that, aim to increase your rank for the title and complete level 5 reputation to unlock Epic recruitments, which offer valuable rewards for your progress.
