Hey guys ive been playing Crusaders of the lost idols for about a week now , and ive just started a song of thrones after my first world reset , im having a tough time at level 88 onwards, what is the best configuration to have 1. for max dps and 2. max gold earning potential

There is no such thing as a "best formation". It all depends on your gear, talents, etc.

One useful piece of advice is: stick to ONE DPSer. Only one. Pick the crusader with the best DPS (at equal money spent to upgrade it, not at equal level, of course), and every other one will be there to support him. Don't even waste money leveling non-DPSer crusaders after you unlocked their formation boosting skills (right before a reset, of course, buy as many levels as you can).

Also, do NOT do long runs. This game is all about grinding, if you stop instakilling monsters and you can reset, then you should do it. A run needs to last a few hours, not days, otherwise it's very inefficient.

Sadly, this works for the events as well: you will not be able to finish all event objectives before the event ends. You need more idols, gear, EPs and talents for that. Try to grind with World's Wake free plays, and do the event missions 2-3 days before the event ends, when they should be easier to do (at least to unlock new crusaders). And don't worry, we have more than one event a month, the next one will come soon, and you will be strong enough to finish all objectives by then.

PS: how can you have both leerion and panda in your formation? They share the same bench slot...

1st pic is my max dps
2nd pic is panda and leerion lol

Oh, right, it's the firts objective, Leerion isn't available but it's a fixed escort (that debuffs you, btw!). Once you finish the mission you will unlock it, and it will swap with Panda. Anyway, given your gear I think the best formation for you would be:

x---3---x
x x 0 5 7
1 2 4 6 x

where 0 is leerion, 1 khaine, 2 lion, 3 werewolf, 4 jim, 5 sasha, 6 khouri, 7 is thalia and x's are, in any order, princess, natalie, panda, nate and merci. DO NOT level any crusader except werewolf, until right before you reset. This is REALLY important, only ONE crusader provides DPS, every other one is there to buff him. Spreading money over 20 or even 10 crusaders is a huge waste of resources.

There is also a different formation if you want to click a little and speed things up... but I let you figure it out, just try to maximize the efficiency of the formation skills.

now im on the second objective . any tips?
