For the medals, don't forget that resetting the raid doesn't reset the event raids. So after resetting, all your heroes are back at lv1 with cheap upgrade prices, but the drops from the event raid are still as high as they were before the reset, so you can quickly farm medals through upgrades instead of battles.

just some advice: maybe post more later
if you do restart raid i know it sounds scary but luckly the blue diamonds you wont need them to re level up the heroes on the levels you allready got. instead its coins. also your castles you bought it does say reset but that means level 1. so you still initially have them. itel also save progress on how many times you leveled them up so if you going for 500 level ups for the blue diamonnds and you were at 300. well now u can pay for them cheaper again. the restart isnt really that bad. you also can get new heroes faster. the time skip is also very useful. i would get to about level 50 on the rogues or whatever side raid it is. just get some where high but also like around level 90 then reset. well if you make it to 50 then use 1 portal to skip u get a LOTTa gold and can essentially re level up all your troops. just some things i found. probably more later. fun game 5/5 stars from me

To BoTDers:
There is a "New Raid" button, introduced somewhere down the line. If you're so close to the Hero Material badge, but stagnating, click the "New Raid" button. It doesn't have a cooldown or anything, so you can click it every time you get stuck, or even every time you lose, feel like you're gonna lose or just aren't winning fast enough for your liking. But: if you're like, 5000 medals away, I urge you to just give up, the shiny ain't worth it.
P.S. it is safe to use portals when doing this; you get medals as if you beat the levels you skipped. But be smart about this; skip the later levels on each reset, not the earlier ones.
P.S.S. The tutorial is B.S., your Fairy should not be 0 speed at the back. She can fight, and she should. Just make sure that if anyone gets overwhelmed, it's not her.

I wouldn't get shiny kongranion because of this "easy" badge. I think BOTD should be obtainable in one one day wihout this pain.

It took me about 2 hours to earn the Brutal Training Badge. Tomorrow's BOTD Hero Material Badge requires 5 times as much.

Don't play this game too long in a row. It wasn't made for that. Play for like half an hour and come back 50 minutes later to claim the gold in the market and upgrade your characters a lot and then play another half hour if you want. Until you run out of gems of course, so you can't increase a skill's level anymore. Then you're stuck until you pay or slowly earn gems through quests, which you won't be able to get anymore since you'll not be strong enough to beat any raids since you can't upgrade without gems. The paywall probably hits before Sunday's BOTD, which takes HOURS to beat. That's enough time for levels to get exponentially more difficult. So much for an "easy" badge. Good thing I can just play Crush Crush to get my 5th BOTD for a shiny Penvelope.

Enjoying this game more then I'd expected. I'd agree with other comments for quality, and wish it was easier to earn crystals as well

Need to save heroes for normal assaults, because annoying to put everyone in place after missions.
Need a better way to have more diamons.
Need a surrender button on battles.

Note: you also get Hero Material from more than just raid fights, Upgrade castles and Get, upgrade and evolve hero's, might help to reset to new raid often to reset raid, castles and hero upgrades.

First, it's not really Idle. It's arbitrary waiting time which you can reduce with cashing. Second, where's the "Pay2win" tag?

Heads up: the BOTD for Sunday will take the entire day to earn. I spent an hour and 13 minutes on 1383 out of 10,000 for that badge. I hope you earned some other badges this week and don't need that one to be able to get the shiny Kongpanion!

Be happy that the game has 30 badges. That means more points to earn. Many games with microtransactions only have 2 badges for some reason. Those are games that can be played for many hours, but only have 2 badges. At least here your playtime is rewarded more.

Game's not loading for me either. Waited about half an hour and it's only advanced five percentage points from 73 to 78%. At least there are other badges ahead, though it doesn't bode well if this gets more than one slot per week.

key to something like this is YOU DON'T PLAY EVERY DAY, just do the daily as far as you want (probably just to stars) and save up for a big sale holiday or something, same as Crusaders of the lost Idol or Dungeon Crusher or Idle Monster Frontier. They are designed to 'punish' you monetarily for single day/week overplay. If you disobey the call of the FOMO and follow a minmax guide from the beginning you can advance very far with f2p, saving up for large event bursts.

What's up with the 30 ACHIVEMENTS
Glad to see new achivements for sure, but this is a bit much!
As for the game, well, it's not the worst. Not my cup of tea tho'.
Doubt I'll get far enough to where I'll have to pay but I do see the option here - and if the reason these games have 30 achievements is because they have microtransactions I am extremely disappointed in Kongregate. With the obscene amount of Achievements, it kinda feel like that's the case, honestly

Definitely feels like the kind of game that's designed to get you to spend money once you've hit a wall. Played for an hour or two and ran out of gems so I can't upgrade anymore. All gem-earning rewards are on cooldown so I either need to wait a day or pay real money. Honestly doubt I'll pick this up again since it clearly expects me to return daily or spend money for any chance to progress from here on. Cool idea, cute, well made, poor/exploitative design choices. 2/5

I spend half my time moving artifacts around so the current guys are using them. Part of me wants a button to auto connect the best artifacts to the active guys, but part of me likes the work of doing it. I'd love it if some artifacts would interact, i.e. three or four defensive HP boost cards combine for added bonus when all applied to the same character.

Fun game. Some cards rarely appear, like the snowman, hunter or green arrow... While their siblings appear much more often. Would like a way to earn / battle / buy / create / transform to form these three cards.

Am I missing something obvious? Where is the New Raid button? I don't get that on my Raid screen, just a button for Schism, Princess and Cave.

For hero upgrades: click and hold the upgrade button to switch between upgrade x1, upgrade x10 and upgrade xMAX. With this, you can quickly spend coins on hero upgrades and get these medals.

For medals: after testing, getting them from hero upgrades seems to be the quickest. You can reset as much as you want to put all heroes back to lv1 with cheap upgrade prices. Resetting doesn't affect event raids, and even losing a higher event level raid gives you enough coins for a bunch of cheap hero upgrades.

Hero Material Badge(Sunday's badge of the day) requires you to get 10.000 medals total.
Protip 1: You can reset raid progress by clicking "new raid"
Protip 2 If you intend to get this badge do like 2-4k per day.You soul will suffer if you attempt to do 10k in one day.

this game is WAY too pay to win. if you dont spend money, you basically have no chance. arena system is MISERABLE, you get matched with people in the billions and you only have like 20k
