Eternity Warriors 3 is a huge improvement over the previous games in Glu Mobile's series. While its co-op/PvP options are sorely missing, there's still enough to keep you busy, between three unique characters, hours of quests, tons of loot to collect and new skills to master.
Here's a rundown of tips that will help you get the most out of the game.
How does the Warrior work in Eternity Warriors 3?
The Barbarian is best for those who like hack-and-slash action, but also prefer a good sense of range and durability. His sword can hit multiple enemies at once, and he can level up super attacks, such as a rush ability or a multi-hit flaming sword attack, that can really dish out damage to larger bosses in the game.
How does the Mage work in Eternity Warriors 3?
The Mage works with distant attacks, using magic to hit multiple enemies at once. She isn't much good at close range, but power her up enough, and she can take out a slew of foes in one shot. You can also combine attacks to put together some very effective combos. She's the weakest of the bunch, though.
How does the Monk work in Eternity Warriors 3?
While not as strong as the Warrior, the Monk can really deliver the hits. With a pair of blades attached to his hands, he can put together some great slash combos, and has the ability to knock enemies back, temporarily incapacitating them and swiftly moving in to finish them off. His dodging techniques are also superb, which is useful during fights with bigger enemies.
How do special moves work in Eternity Warriors 3?
As you progress through the game, you'll have the ability to learn new skills, such as the Warrior's dash attack or multi-hit sword technique. However, you'll want to use these sparingly, as they can only be used so often before you need to charge up again. A countdown will show just how long you have to wait before you charge them again, and thankfully, it's not too painful - and don't forget you'll have your basic techniques on hand until they replenish.
How do I unlock skills in Eternity Warriors 3?
Go into the Skills sub-menu. There, you'll see what skills are available to each of your characters. You'll either need a certain amount of gems or coins to unlock them, so make sure they're useful abilities that will help you out. You can upgrade them as well, but you'll probably need to pay some real money to help increase them right away. Otherwise, prepare for several missions worth of play.
How do I forge items in Eternity Warriors 3?
You'll want to visit the Inventory sub-menu in the main hub. Here, you'll see what items you can combine with your main weapon, such as the Warrior's Brutal Sword of the Butcher. These include armor pieces as well as other secondary items.
Forging them together will make your weapon stronger, capable of bringing down enemies quicker. You can also evolve your weapon to a higher level, with more XP and hit power, though it'll need to be at its maximum fusion level first.
If push comes to shove and you don't have enough items, you can always purchase them with gems and coins - though that may require an in-app purchase if you're impatient. It's totally your call, though.
How do offerings work in Eternity Warriors 3?
At first, you're given an offering for free - in this case, appeasing to the Iron God to win a random item, such as a piece of armor or gold. After that, you'll need to use coins or gems in order to earn new goods, some of which rank as Rare, Epic or Legendary. These can really help out in battle, though you'll pay a pretty good amount to get the chance, and it's not always guaranteed.
Your best bet is to watch out for freebie giveaways and stick with the Iron God for the time being. He won't cost that much, and you could win Rare items, which in turn helps you get more kills in battle - and earn more currency to go towards the Silver God or God of Gold.
Do I have to buy items in Eternity Warriors 3?
The option is yours, but the truth is, you'll pick up various loot over the course of battle. These mostly come from boss enemies, though smaller foes could have them later on in the game. Stick with finding these first, then if you feel the need, drop some money into gems and see about trading up.
What can I do with friends in Eternity Warriors 3?
Although you can't play in co-op or PvP, you can still form a Guild with your teammates and share loot together, or converse in the main menu hub. It's a bit limited, but it certainly beats nothing. You can also see what kind of inventory they have when it comes to health potions, magic and even weapons.
Keep in mind you need to be at Level 5 with your hero - and have 1000 GS coins (which are earned in battle) - before you can start a Guild. However, in the meantime, you can always find online friends by typing in their names.
How much do gems cost in Eternity Warriors 3?
If you don't feel like grinding through the game to earn them, you can buy 110 gems for $4.99; 260 gems for $9.99, 640 gems for $19.99, 2,000 gems for $49.99, or 5,200 gems for $99.99. It's ridiculous, but to the battle hearty, it just might be worth it.
