Idea base on Buy All Button,

since we can buy all crusaders,

how about buy the crusaders in current formation?

This will helpful for running high level.


By the way, Buy All Button does not buy switchable crusader.(Wendy the Witch, Pete the Carney, etc)

Why would the buy-all button buy the crusaders that aren't in the lineup? Those levels don't count towards earning more idols and are therefore useless?

Hi Lairs,

How do you mean?

Do you mean just level the ones in formation?

Also, yes that button won't level Crusaders not on the bench since you don't get Idols for them. We didn't want players to feel obligated to level up every Crusader, especially once we have 30 or more.

Irrimn, the button is kind of geared to finishing up immediately prior to a reset. There you level up all the 20 players, benched and in formation (not behind the bench though as Erika explained).

It doesn't make sense to have a button to only level up your formation characters, cause you, as a human, can make much more cost effective decisions on who to level up. I.E. You will never ever level up the Panda more then say 200, makes no sense and he can only ever be the high DPS'er in a certain manner that no automated method would ever do.

I imagine the way this button is programmed is simply a loop, loop over the 20 characters in the bench display, level up the current cheapest crusader by 1, return. Keep looping till all gold is used up, which might not happen as soon as you think as you still collect gold during this too, and probably also cause of DPS increase have the ability to kill several or several dozen more levels too if one wanted to wait.

I think that what Lairs is saying is that he would like the buy all current formation not because he could do a better job than the automated script, but because it can do a much QUICKER job. I agree. In fact I thought that was what I was getting when I spent the Idols to buy the "Buy All button".

Is there any reason to not spend all money on your DPS?
Maybe a couple frontliners for extra health or something but I dont see anyone else.
So I dont really see the point of this button

well then I guess you have never ever done a reset and what one does immediately before a reset.

Hey Erika, since the swapped crusaders got mentioned; any plans on making their levels count as well for idol gaining? It would help us get few more idols per reset (if you also make the 'buy all levels' button include them as well), which would greatly help with the upcoming idol/talent shop.

Raymond: I think i missunderstood Grey.

Kenshin: She answear your question in her earlier comment: "Also, yes that button won't level Crusaders not on the bench since you don't get Idols for them. We didn't want players to feel obligate to level up every Crusader, especially once we have 30 or more"

Yeah, I guess you are right..was hoping they would think it over since idol's shop coming anytime soon and we're probably gonna need quite a few idols for that! Anyway, not that big of a deal I guess.

@ GreyNicor: The button is for players who don't want to level every Crusader up just before they reset by hand. It helps them maximize their Idols.

You certainly don't have to buy it in the Talent shop if you don't see the need for it.

First of all, I love this feature! However, it does seem to level unused characters. Natalie and Jack o Lantern both got leveled. Prince Sal leveled, but Wendy didn't. I haven't figured out a pattern yet, but I will keep trying.

Only the characters that are currently swapped in get leveled. Since the ones who are swapped out do not contribute to the idol count when you do a soft reset, they don't need to be leveled.

Perhaps I wasn't clear enough. I know that is how it is *supposed* to work. About a month ago, I did two or three resets manually leveling unswapped characters before I realized that. I have just had a couple instance where characters that were never swapped in got leveled via the talent button. In the example above, jack had 800 levels or so even though he was never in my party.
On another note, that may be a cool talent to add where unswapped characters add to your reset idol count.
