Access the Empires & Puzzles 'Hero Utility' to your right. Below is the TOP LEADERBOARD TEAM dating back to the first data sample on 7/29/2018 in their rightful positions.

Yunan - Most significant Grading Improvements I recall ever seeing...
Zeline drops to an unusual and uncomfortable spot in THE ULTIMATES @ #5.
Zimkitha makes her debut at LUCKY #13! INARI and MITSUKO receive their initial grades.
Alberich hasn't moved from his perch @ #6 in the #1 spot of the CONTENDERS. 3 WEEKS IN A ROW!
INITIAL GRADING INARI & MITSUKO
GRADING CHANGES: Yunan
He is a Bad Ass and fits right in with the Seasonal's - this Guy was made to be 'HARD TO KILL'.
More than a 1/2 point GPA increase in Offense (3 of 5 factorable grade increases)
INTRODUCING...The 4 SEASONS
Mother North vs. Alberich - I choose Mother... but man I don't want her smiling face in my line-up! Check Out the Compare in this Vid
Buddy* matches Defense with Master Lepus and his Health is a smidgen above Azlars! These Seasonal characters were made 'HARD TO KILL'.

Added: rZrMail - REVIEW rZrMail HERE.
Working On: Challenge Events Statistics - all 4 existing x 3 (rarities) = 12 new stats.
Introduction to: RAZOR's EDge
The tremendous fact about this product is that the instant you have the Hero Card (actually it would be the instant that I obtain it and process it) the ability to Rank and even grade the hero is available. The mathematical soundness of this prospect, it is 100% REAL. What you need to be aware of is where this Rank applies to the hero in the game. This will be explained following this paragraph. Being this is 1 of 4 methods of value - be aware if this is the only one that exists - it is entirely up to you to assess the value added via the Heroes Special Skill.
The Razor's Edge processes the data using a 15 point inspection algorithm and mathematical probability calculator resulting in the following two Balanced Ranks:
|
Ap [Attack Power] Dh [Defensive Health] |
I named these balanced ranks using the strongest correlations between each of the 4 card based values. The individual card values are also ranked and they are great in direct visual comparison between cards, in decision aide their value is minimal as a single value doesn't give you a big picture view. This is why I created the correlation based value Ranks. I could of called them Offense and Defense. Simply put they do represent that - and more.
In every* RAID and WAR each opponent (you vs the A.I.) engages in a set of rounds I call the RAW-DETERMINANT-ROUNDS. These rounds start with the first attack of any battle. It includes approximately 3-6 attacks from you and approximately 3-6 from the A.I. In your case the attacks can be very calculated based on the tiles you are given, the A.I. should not be able to match your intellect! We are however, well aware that the randomizing parameters used by the games A.I. often have great success!
This is where your hero’s make their stand to become your lead actor, using their REAL RAW CARD BASED values. This is the sweet, unfiltered, MMA Octagon, Killer show, no frills RAW exchange of digital fist to face, sword to gut, axe in the back, take the pain round. At one end of the spectrum these RAW-DETERMINANT-ROUNDS setup the DOWNFALL of the A.I. or YOU. At the other end of the spectrum these rounds minimally identify the sitting ducks (easy death targets). This round is extremely important – using your raw talent big guns (which ARE NOT necessarily your Special Skill big guns) to do the most raw damage! This is where having the Razor’s Edge ranks nearby along with your opponents could be beneficial to you. Use your high Ap’s (i.e. #2) to attack their low Dh’s (i.e. #63) – this is only a suggestion you may prefer to do as much damage as you can to their tank instead, and there are certainly other options that can be beneficial to you based on your teams knowledge.
The RAW-DETERMINANT-ROUNDS end when the first Special Skill is used. The SPECIAL-SKILL-ROUNDS continue till a team is dead. The Razor's Edge doesn’t become obsolete during this phase; those of you that have rain-man like mind calculators won’t have a problem making the calculations on the fly and taking the appropriate action when an opponent’s weakness is revealed.
Official Release Date: 11/25/2018 - data was calculated using 'Roll-With' method
*TITAN and BOSS BATTLE's application is limited, will revisit in future.
The ability to run each of the 15 algorithm's with the most appropriate method (Roll-With or Roll-Forward) is available.

E&P FAMILY LINK - Reference
There are 20 Season 2 Hereoes at this point. Family Link's power is unique to the Season 2 Atlantis Heroes!
There are some slight discrepancies in regards to one’s ability to combine family members i.e. being that:
- The LAGOON FAMILY has 8 members while
- The SAKURA FAMILY has 7 and
- The poor ATLANTIS FAMILY only have 5 (NO Legendary).
This quick Reference is large enough that you can see the thumb nail Hero pics and clearly identify who the 5/4/3 stars are and their Element. I ordered the Family's Heroes by Rarity then alphabetically by their name. You can click the image to enlarge it/save it.
Our 1st Member Event WINNER is Jedon!

11/28 6pm USA-MST Members CHAt Meeting
THANK YOU FOR THOSE WHO TOOK THE TIME TO ATTEND/STOP BY
Finally at the point of making some initial MEBERS ONLY content available in the 'Hero Utility' - Looking to you for some feedback! Let's get on the CHAt platform I setup for us. Please try out the new version once it’s announced as being released. Also looking to add several friendly competitive stats to our Members Leaderboard. Also planning on Members being able to input their 3-5 star fully ascended heroes into the Users Group online database for future report extracts and team comparing (down the road). Want to gather the outstanding 'CARDS' I would like to get the card version back up and running w/100% accuracy (maybe someone would help locate the missing ones and notify me of their location - I AM ONLY MISSING 9 RARE/EPICS from Challenge Events/Holiday). Also other Member area suggestions - I haven't gotten much from anyone in regards to feedback through the Members Lobby. Thanks!
**TM USER GROUP - MEMBER NOTICE**
I welcome you all. In addition to you taking an active role (if you want to) in working with me to build out the MEMBERS AREA for 'fun' Empires & Puzzles themed events, you also get to participate in these events for prizes and recognition! I think it can become a very positive addition to our gaming life. Your patience is appreciated as the Members Area is definitely 'UNDER CONSTRUCTION'.
I will address all IMPORTANT issues affecting the group as a whole in as a timely manner as possible. I will try to assist you individually, time permitting. The Users Group will have to take a back-seat to the ‘Hero Utility’, Weekly Statistics and Site Content updates, of course time with family and my real job :).
Please be proactive in entering feedback or suggestions when you have them. If it appears something is not right or suspecious please take a moment and notify me.
Lastly... I need to play E&P too!
Warm Regards, RaZoR
Hear Ye!
We will slay the SW Titan!

Game Tips...
-
“TC20 (Training Camp) owners! Do you want to keep a revolving chance at a free Legendary Hero Indefinitely? Farm the heck out of Season One 8.7! The recruits are the key here and you get 8–10 for each 3 world energies! You don't get this anywhere else on average. It also gives you a fair return on swords, backpacks, heroes and troops to boot! Get to work!”
-
“Wanted Monsters Missions. Best way to zoom through this is Season One 7.4.
There are 4 waves.
4–5 monsters in waves 1–3. 2 bosses in wave 4. That is 14–17 monsters per 3 world energies. So 7 auto attacks will net you a completed monster mission! Sometimes it takes 8.” -
“Hold on to your 4/5*'s as Small Giant Games can issue a 'Balance Change' in the future! As an example: Leonidas was a C and became a solid B Hero. Alternatively you can use them to build out your War team. Obviously focus on ascending A heroes 1st, then Bs. Some Cs have a purpose i.e. Kashhrek – solid A on defense and war defense.”
-
“Hero Grading. Compare 5s against 5s, 4s against 4s. Never assume a 4*A is better than a 5*B. Exceptions are a 4* A could be more effective than a 5* C/B- (They sure don't live longer though). A Fully ascended 4* can be stronger than a full 3rd ascension 5* (not always). Point here – ascension items for 4s are a walk in the park compared to 5*s... so be wise!"
-
“After completing a wanted mission (monsters/heroes) you can right click the chest and skip the 12hr wait for 20 gems! The closer you are to 0hrs the less gems it costs (there are skip limits). Why would you do this? Your bored. It gets you nowhere fast and rewards dwindle as you continue (both reported to me and experienced by me).”

Spotlight...
"Being the Lone Wolf isn't easy, but it has it's perks...
Such as total freedom - battling Titans when and where you want.
The best thing to me is You can visit other Alliances:
4 Reasons I do so
1) They need help killing a Titan
2) 1+ I'm interested in finding out how they interact together. Perhaps a future Ally or even Alliance (and this would likely be mutual - likely a closed group)
3) Stop in to see a friend
(open or closed group)
4) Passing by (open group) be some random hero walking in and out of their camp - idk to let go of a fudge dragon, ask which way is North, just say hi, or just park there and don't say anything no matter what!
Not sure if this Spotlight will become a regular thing...
The BLAZERS I feel are worth my time. I'll be back eventually to write about them as a team and their individuality with in it.
An NO, there will be no 'SECRETS' revealed. What's done in the House stays in the House."

This one is huge so placing it here:
ABILITY TO EVOLVE HEROES FUTHER.
We’re working on a new major feature that will enable all heroes to be developed beyond their current limits. This big feature is planned to enter beta testing soon.

Challenges
The Challenge Events:
Pirates of Corellia
Fables of Grimforest
Guardians of Teltoc
Knights of Avalon
Four-fold advice:
First - be stocked up on battle items if you want any chance to place in the top 4 ranking reward categories (and I mean stocked up). Otherwise, settle on just completing it with what you have. You will need something to help get you through the last level or two.
Second - this should be very obvious. DO NOT bring a hero in that matches the events reflect element - unless you have no other choice! There is that rare case where one is such a great strategist that they can do so.
Third - know who the Bosses and monsters are in each of the 10 levels so you plan appropriately with your battle items, hero team selection & placement from the beginning! Fortunately @Mariamne has documented this for us:
CE Boss & Monster Map
Fourth - this applies to the few - having a deep bench of fully or near fully ascended 4 and 5 star heroes of the opposing element (to the events reflect element) gives you the best odds of landing on the visible leader board! Honestly - any element other than the reflect element if you have the deep bench - the idea here is maximum damage! Logic will assist you after reviewing the map above.
I Feel there is still value in the hero cards being available - @FraVit93 put it in my head to make it so.
