Dark Elemental troops have come to EOS, and although they are slightly different, still pack a punch for both attacking and defending your Citadel.
Research
There are currently two levels of Elemental Troops, although more are on the way; Tier 1 and Tier 2. These must be researched in the Dark Elemental Tree. There are two different types of research here, one to unlock the troop types and another to strengthen your Elemental Troops. They require different tomes.
Types and Tiers of Elemental Troops
There are currently only two Tiers, Tier 1 and Tier 2. Unlike old world Elementals, they are not segregated into troop type. For example, there are no Mage, Warrior or Cavalry Elemental Troops.
They are sectioned into the following types;
- Dark Fire Troop
- Very strong against Dark Ice
- Weak against Dark Lightning
- Deals 2x damage against Dark Ice, and an extra 10x damage when attacking an Empire
- Dark Ice Troop
- Very strong against Dark Earth
- Weak against Dark Fire
- Deals 2x damage against Dark Earth, and an extra 10x damage when attacking the Crystal
- Dark Earth Troop
- Very strong against Dark Lightning Troops
- Weak versus Dark Ice
- Deals 2x damage against Dark Lightning Troops, and an extra 10x damage when Defending your Empire
- Dark Lightning Troops
- Very strong versus Dark Fire Troops
- Weak versus Dark Earth
- Deals 2x damage against Dark Fire Troops, and an extra 10x damage when Holding the Crystal
Elemental Wells
Unlike the “old” way, each Well produces only one type of RSS from Level 31-40; Dark Elemental RSS. This is used to train all four types of Elemental Troops. Leveling your Wells requires Dark Empire Expansion Blueprints.
The Wells still have boosts intrinsic to the building type;
- Fire Well
- Troop Attack
- Dark Fire Troop Attack
- Dark Elemental HP
- March Size
- Dark Elemental Attack
- Earth Well
- Dark Earth Troop Attack
- March Size
- Dark Elemental HP
- Troop HP Bonus
- Dark Elemental Attack
- Lightning Well
- Dark Lightning Troop Attack
- Dark Elemental HP
- March Size
- Armor Piercing
- Dark Elemental Attack
- Ice Well
- Troop Armor Bonus
- Dark Ice Troop Attack
- Dark Elemental HP
- March Size
- Dark Elemental Attack
These Wells fill very fast, so be sure to collect from them frequently.
Training Elemental Troops
Training these troops is slightly different than before. Each of the four types requires a specific type of Dark T4 troop to be trained. For example, making Dark Lightning requires Dark Cavalry Tier 4, and Dark Essence. That’s all that is required for Tier 1 Elementals. Once you have Tier 1, you can promote them to Tier 2 with just Dark Essence (and the Tier 1 Elemental Troops).
Dark Elemental Troops are necessary in your Empire for both Attacking and Defending. Be sure to accumulate a generous amount of these, and utilize them as a primary source of attack/defense power.
