They are all half right. LAst two to three levels harder than boss. Normal vikings till you get chieftan, then mix untill chieftan level higer. Then all Chieftan, then towards the end max out the barrel dudes, only need 6-10 ( your preference). get ship weapons to level three near the middle, should be maxed by end. All levels will be a piece of cake
