I think legendary drops scale off of current equipment strength. What I usually do is use up all the gold till I can't buy the stuff in the shop anymore and roll to hopefully get something that's not completely useless. btw 10-5 is easier than 10-4 for some reason. I'm pretty sure you can, in fact, skip levels since the badge tracks whether or not you completed level 40 or not. Archer is very RNG, can be really really clutch at times but genuinely sucks at shooting fat targets and small targets alike. Enemy mages take forever to kill unless you trap them, but your cleric will die in two shots. Have fun :)
You "slide tackle"? That's a complete penalty. After that, making the guy faint? An injury automatically and a roughing major. Also, you should make the faceoff guy not able to move around that quick. The sprint also should be faster and the goalie better
