I hope the Devs read this: After some time your own champion becomes "useless".
I started building a mage, went into wizard, and was grinding to get better weapons. Then I stumbled upon a followoer on the friends tab that had the best one handed in the game, at lvl 19 (Im talking about the sword that gives 800 str worth 90 crystals). Then I found another one. That was it for my wizard, the damage output and tank capacity from the followers is just absurd. 900 str at lvl 19. Then I found more at lvl 30.
At this point id have to grind for mindless hours just so my champ is usefull again :(
This game is fantastic. I have plaid it 3 times. First one I started right on hard and even if it took me a little time to figure everything out, I had the most fun I have had on a flash game on a long time.
Great job.
