Crusader HP internal code messes up heavy tanking in case of lag (!?)
3 Posts	Link to post - Posted June 5th 2017 at 9:09 AM Mr Cook So, I'm tanking about 700 enemies with Greyskull, to get plunder up. Then I use Alan's resurrection and Princess' magnified Fire Storm to wipe them out. But, occasionally the game lags for 1-2 seconds when I cast Fire Storm. Next thing you know Greyskull is dead before Fire Storm hits, and plunder goes to waste. It looks like the game sums the damage during the lag and causes it full at once on the tank, so the healing it takes can't compensate. That's how it feels. The game may lag for whatever reason, and tanking so many enemies takes up time. If my assumption is true is it possible to fix this? I'd hate to abandon this strategy.

Generally, you should reset the moment you stop instakilling. Tanking strategies are not how farming is supposed to work.

And even then, you would be better off just doing freeplays until you have enough idols to tackle the objective easily. The ONLY objectives in which you should tank are those that require you to reach such high areas that you normally can't reach when you CAP your heroes. If an objective takes you more than 12 hours, abandon it and do freeplays instead.
