Hi everyone. My name is Lovenus. This title is quoted from Sun Tzu Art Of War.

I started this thread with the hope of helping everyone in Pocket Legends ( the best mobile MMORPG game ) and thus making your gameplay more enjoyable. This thread aims to help players to know their weakness / strength before fighting the enemy in game so as to reduce their death rate.

If you do notice, there is actually a circle beside the health bar of the enemy when you click on them before you even start to tap on the "Attack" button.

I will now list the colors and explain briefly about them.

**Please note that the pictures below are for information only and you might not see the same thing with the same enemy in game.**
YOUR LEVEL OR HIGHEST/TOTAL PARTY MEMBERS LEVELS WILL DETERMINE THE COLOR ICON BESIDE THE HEALTH BAR OF ENEMY!

From WEAKEST [ TOP ] to STRONGEST [ BOTTOM ]

Thanks.

Feel free to add "Lovenus' and drop me a PM in game if you have any questions.^^

These icons are not useless. They determine your survival, experience and item drop rate.

Choose to ignore and you shall not reap the fruits of wisdom.

Doesn't matter whether or not if you can solo them. That's not the point of the thread. The colors still affects the difficulty of a mob. It also effects the xp you will get too. Red gets you the most. Grey is no xp.

While you're on the subject of colours, why don't you place together a small guide on coloured power orbs?

Red - attack x 2
Purple/Pink - ??? I think defense x 2?
Green - full health
Blue - full mana
Yellow - speed x 2

hi Lovenus, and gratz on your awesome k/d numbers.

A level 5 character in FH1 can get 24 kills in 4 minutes, and about 150 gold, with a chance of a pretty level 5 item. My level 5 has 3000 kills so far.

This is no risk. Only a total bafoon cqn die in FH1 with a level 5.

So turn of XP gain, and try to beat Lovenus.

Let's see. 100 kills every 15 minutes, 400 kills/hr., that's only 25 hours to get 10k kills.

Once lvl 50 Elite Dungeons come out, PvE won't be so easy, well, at least if you try to solo it lol.

It is actually called the threat level. Whether Twink finds it difficult or no, it still has to be called something.

The point is, Lovenus is hinting at how he got on the leaderboards. Twink only thinks it is easy because he can respawn, which is totally beside the point. Try it without dying, Twink.

Purple orb is dodge, and a thread based on the orbs isn't needed IMO, since people in PVP usually know what the orb does.

Snake, you know I love ya (heaps homo:p) but my lvl 35 pure int Mage, tpaxx, has 0 deaths. I go into ao3 with him a kit. Soloed ao2 and 1 multiple times. Threat levels don't mean much.

I don't think bump stands for anything. I think it just means you're bumping it to the top....

Dude, it has a meaning. ^^ It means Bring Up My Post as that guy above said. However, this is a thread thats why I don't use BUMP.

A thread is still technically a post though;)

Something your topic doesn't take into consideration:
When 3 or more (or was it 4 or more? I forget) L10s start DF1, the threat level is red until you kill 2. Then it turns yellow until you get to 14 (I think it was).

So threat level isn't necessarily just level difference since a party at the correct minimum level can see red TLs, temporarily.

I think the biggest misnomer about threat level is that it sounds like it determines how difficult the enemy is when, in fact, you can have different threat levels for enemies of the same difficulty, as stated above. That difficulty aspect really only applied to Winter Festival where the level of the enemies scaled on the fly. Otherwise, it wouldn't make sense for a dungeon to get "eaiser" as you progress.

All threat level really determines is XP and Drop Level.

Also, I think you need to clarify what your drop rate is actually signifying, if it's even something that can be seen through trials. It's not like red means you have an excellent chance of dropping a pink (or purple for that matter).

Otherwise, it looks like a pretty good introduction to threat level, something that the casual player probably would never think to notice.

I'm not quite sure if you're positive on what you're saying. Assuming you have the utmost best gear possible for your build and stats and also assuming you have a ton of potions and knowledge of the game, go ahead and get fully-prodded up and go solo each Blacksmoke Mountain run. Post a video with your proof of soloing each and I'll believe you once it happens.

The reason you have an easy time is because, I'm assuming, you're running with at least a sem-filled party and are experienced with it. Each toon is built differently and serves a different purpose. Nuke mages, support mages, str mages, dex mages, str bears, dex bears, warbears, int bears, hybrid bears, dex birds, warbirds, hybrid birds, etc, are all used for different things and depending on how your party is composed, determines how easy or difficult such a dungeon will be. Solo all of the BSM dungeons in a single go with any build you'd prefer with a fully-bought endgame set, perfect vanities, potions, and stat setup, and I'll believe there's no challenge in PL's PvE system. Go.

It's confirmed that threat level affects EXP gain.
That's why when you use Enable XP Elixir in Mega Maze, the enemies there still only give about .5/1 EXP per kill (instead of BSM where you would gain 1-2 EXP per kill), as they are way below your level.
