Completion Grant

Some items are much more important to players than others and are much more difficult to get. Things such as Completion Grants and Ancestral Seals are considered the holy grail of DoA because those that have them are able to advance further in the game. Getting them without rubies can be difficult unless you are blessed by Fortuna... the rest of us being dumped on need a guide as to when to use them and when to NOT use them. So this page will go through which buildings should be upgraded and in which order for non-ruby players.

BasicsEdit

First of all, what is a Completion Grant? It is an item that you can either win from Fortuna or buy using Rubies. One is needed to upgrade EVERY single building to level 10. Since all elite troops from the Outposts require at least one level 10 building and many researches require level 10 buildings, it can make the game difficult if you waste one.

You can train Fire Mirrors in an Outposts with a level 10 Training Camp instead of in your main city garrison. That saves 1 Completion Grant for using somewhere else! Most people don't focus much attention on Fire Mirrors because the research and training is time consuming and they move slower than Christmas, but later in the game some people still train them just to have them since they do not require any special pre-requisite items from Camps.

Elite troopsEdit

What order should I use these in? This depends on what elite troop you want to train first. So first, I'll list which level 10 buildings you need for each elite troop type.

FangtoothEdit

• 1 level 10 Training Camp in your Water Outpost

You do not need any level 10 researches in order to get this troop training! These are effective when farming camps when paired with 1 LBM and against other players!

Granite OgreEdit

• 1 level 10 Quarry
• 1 level 10 Mine
• 1 level 10 Metalsmith
• 1 level 10 Science Center
• 1 level 10 Training Camp in your Stone Outpost

This is a strong defense troop. It is used against other players when attacking and defending, but for optimal use it should be paired with a high range troop such as Lava Jaws.

Lava JawEdit

• 1 level 10 Science Center
• 1 level 10 Training Camp in your Fire Outpost

This is currently the strongest long ranged attack troop in the game. It is very effective against high level Anthropus Camps as well as against other players. Players covet LJs because of their effectiveness against even the most defensive players.

BansheeEdit

• 1 level 10 Training Camp in your Wind Outpost

These are the kings of farming! They are fast and can carry a lot. They are very effective at farming other players, but if the defending players are well equiped, it would be wise not to use these. They are extremely useful early in the game because of their farming capabilities!

Soul ReaperEdit

(Must have Spectral Ruins)

• 1 level 10 Training Camp in Ice Outpost

These are a special troop type just released for the Ice Outpost. These troops are strong on defense, no range/ranged attack so they are not built for offense. They are the same stength as a giant with more defensive power and more speed, less health though. These troops can capture the souls of an attacker's troops when used on defense! They have high defensive stats and high melee attack stats. Clearly if you do a lot of defending, this is the troop to have! If they are used against a Wraith Dragon, they will not die but you will lose your resources still.

Venom DwellerEdit

(Must have Spectral Ruins)

• 1 level 10 Training Camp in your Sunken Temple Outpost

These troops are comparable with Fangtooth in stats. They have both a decent ranged attack and melee attack (similar to the Fangtooth). Although they have slightly lower attack and defense stats, they have higher range and life. But they have the special ability to inflict extra damage against Ogres (100% +). This will be updated when more information is available as far as usage.

Frost GiantEdit

(Must have Spectral Ruins)

• 1 level 10 Training Camp in your Ice Outpost

This troop type is a slightly upgraded version of the normal Giant. It has higher melee attack, life, and speed. It also has lower defense stats. Because it is available on Kabam.com only and requires a Completion Grant to build, where as the original Giants do not, this is a relatively low priority troop to build unless you are advanced in the game. This would NOT be a troop you would want to focus on right away. It has the special defense ability against Lava Jaws, and therefore would only be effective in PvP battles and little use for Anthropus Camps and Wilderness. Lava Jaws cause less than 50% damage against these troops. This will be updated when more information is available as far as usage.
