Magic Fruit Permanent Stats in Lords Road

Hey guys, one of the very nice items in Lords Road are the Magic Fruit. They permanently increase your stats by various amounts (see table below) and due to that I think they are awesome and if you have the chance to get your hands on them do it for sure! Magic Fruit can be gotten for free also by performing well in various events and by buying them with gold from the Secret Merchant, but larger quantities will certainly require spending some diamonds.


magic fruitFor lower amount of diamonds I would recommend simply refreshing the Secret Merchant. This will give you the chance of buying a range of items with just gold and in this range there are also level 1 Magic Fruit chests sold for gold.


If you have a bit more diamonds then you can go ahead and buy the Magic Fruit directly, either the level 1 or the level 2 chests (I think level 1s are more efficient to buy).


That said, let’s have a look at all the different Magic Fruit and their stats:


Magic Fruit and their stats




















AttackCritDodgeDefenseHealth
Level 1888480
Level 21616168160

The formulas for Magic Fruit are pretty simple:


  • Attack = Crit = Dodge

  • Defense is half of the above 3

  • Health is 10 times of the above 3

  • Level 2 is exactly 2 times more than level 1

Magic Fruit item screenshots:


Level 1 fruit:


level 1 magic fruit - attack level 1 magic fruit - defense level 1 magic fruit - critical level 1 magic fruit - dodge level 1 magic fruit - health


Level 2 fruit:


level 2 magic fruit - defense level 2 magic fruit - health level 2 magic fruit - dodge level 2 magic fruit - critical level 2 magic fruit - attack

Element Trials Winning Strategy

Hey guys, those of you who are doing Element Trials in Lords Road will very quickly realize that they get harder and harder on each of the 5 stages and, even though you can call a friend to help with SOS, it is possible that you will fail, depending on your BR / setup, so here is a tip what I discovered works amazing well for Element Trials.


Element Trial Bosses:


The bosses in Element Trials change every day or every time you do it (you can reset). Here are some screenshots I took from the 3rd, 4th and 5th Boss Wave:


Example 3rd Wave Element Trial Boss – Flame:


Elements Attack Type FLAME


Example 4th Wave Element Trial Boss – Thunder:


Elements Attack Type THUNDER


Example 5th Wave Element Trial Boss – Hail:


Elements Attack Type HAIL


Element Trials Winning Strategy


The most important part on those images is on the bottom left where it says “Attack with X damage”. This is telling you which Element Type the boss’s attacks are. A lot of people I saw are using all Attack Elements in their Mount window to maximize their attack, which works very good for many parts of the game, but when it comes to Element Trials, what works amazing well is if you switch to defensive Elements of the same type as the Boss’s attack.


For example if I go with maximum offense I usually die on the 4th and 5th waves, but if i switch to the correct defense elements I can actually solo, without any friend SOS, all the waves including the last, 5th, one!


You can also find a good balance. For example, on my character I know that all I need is just one level 2 defensive element for wave 4 and 2 of those for wave 5 and the rest can be attack. For me that works perfectly, but if you are weaker or stronger you can adjust the quantity of defensive elements to match your hero.


It’s really night and day what difference this strategy makes – you go from tough battles to very easy battles! So I hope this helps you to achieve victory in your Element Trials!

Infinity Tower Blitz Rewards 54 Stages

Hey guys, some of you might be curious to learn about the rewards from the Infinity Tower, so here is some data on 54 stages of Blitz at level 52. So what do we see:


Blitz Rewards 54 Stages Level 52:


  • Experience 666,520 (pretty good)

  • Gold 110,770 (not that great)

  • A bunch of jewels: 6 level 1s, 10 level 2s and 2 level 3s. Synthesizing these gives a result of roughly one level 4 jewel for a similar blitz as this.

  • 55 Virtuous Jewels

Looks very nice for a “daily reward” and is especially easier for VIP 5 where the Blitz of the Infinity Tower is instant – no waiting time.

Class Imbalance in Demon Invasion

Hey guys, in this post I talk about Class Imbalance in Demon Invasion daily event in Lords Road among Warriors and Mages. This could, of course, be extended to other events, but I focus on Demon Invasion because I can show clearly with data that this is the case.


On the picture below you can see the Battle Achievement results table from Demon Invasion in the past hour (15th of June 2015). I wrote down the Class of each player on the Top 11 table and you can see that every single one of them is a Mage. What you cannot see is the BR Rank of each person, so you might assume that these are all Top Battle Rating players, but this is not the case. I’ll mention a few of them who are on much lower rank than Page #1 and congratulations to them for doing such an excellent job:


  • #25 BR Claireborn – Ranked #3 in Demon Invasion

  • #40 BR LadyHid – Ranked #6 in Demon Invasion

  • #57 BR ImNewHere – Ranked #9 in Demon Invasion (especially good job! :P)

And there are only 4 Warriors in Top 20 BR or 13 Warriors in Top 50 BR and none of those made it to Top 11 of Demon Invasion. Of course someone from them could be not playing during this Invasion, but not all (I checked).


Class Imbalance in Demon Invasion


Mage / Warrior Class Imbalance Conclusion:


So based on this I think it is very clear that the game currently favors Mages, at the very minimum for Demon Invasion (but we know that’s also the case for Chaos War for example) and I hope that the devs will adapt it to make it more fair to all classes.
