Added stats

Oracle -> Demi-Power

• Make sure to receive your blessing every 24/48 hours.
• Stick to one Demi Power, preferably the one that gives you a +5/+10 bonus.
• Each Demi grants a different item as a final reward, these are very important for duels and monsters.
• Besides rewards, you get stat bonuses: Ambrosia - Energy, Malekus - Attack, Corvintheus - Defense, Aurora - Health, Azeron - Stamina.

Town -> Land

• Buy land in sets of 10 only. Price goes up after each purchase and buying 10 at a time gives most land for least money.
• Don't buy too much of 1 type of land. I recommend 10 towers, 10 temples, 20 marketplaces, 20 mountain keeps and 10 each of all the rest.
• Before buying, sell whatever land of that type you got for free from monster fights to amount owned to 0 or 10.

Quests -> Quest

• Don't jump too fast from land to land. You need to build up enough income to offset upkeep costs.
• Do each quest and subquest 4 times. Each time you complete a quest, you get a stat point. Also, you get achievements for completing a certain number of quests.
• Do Demi Quests. This is one of the ways to get magic and also you can get energy potions and upkeep free units.
• Make sure to use the general shown in the picture or you won't gain influence.
• SubQuests don't have a general requirement. Use Sano to do these to gain influence faster.
• Use subquests to quickly level your best generals, Celesta, Sano, Dante and Vanquish.
• Switch to Sophia, Elena, Terra or Elizabeth Lione before doing a quest that will push you to next level to get some free energy.

Keep -> Achievements -> Monster Achievements

• You get achievements for doing assists so do these even if you're already in the middle of a fight.
• To get a monster achievement, you need to slay a certain number of monsters, but, you need to also deal a minimum amount of damage or the kill will not be counted.

Heroes

• Use Sano for subquests.
• Use Celesta when defending in monster battles. Switch to Dante once you're able to get him.
• Use Zarevock when attacking in monster battles. Switch to Vanquish once you're able to get her.
• In each land, there's a general that gives a max energy increase. Use these before leveling for some free energy.
• Use subquests to quickly level your generals.

Keep -> Monster

• Don't fight too many monsters at once, you need to deal minimum damage for a monster to count towards an achievement and you need to deal enough damage to get good loot.
• The more damage and healing you do, the better loot you get once the monster is killed.
• Power attacking deals more damage than attacking 5 times.
• It's possible to get items, like Poseidon's horn or Dragon Charm, from a loot drop and not have to craft them.

Battle

• You can earn 10 demi points per demi power per day.
• Invade uses army size, Duel uses stats and best items.
• Don't attack players who's rank will give you no or very few batle points.
• As you gain more Battle Points, you'll gain ranks and will be awarded skill points and items, however, you can get much better items from monster fights.
• Winning a certain number of invaasions and battles will grant you achievements.

Keep -> Stats

• Never, ever spend skill points on health, ever. Having more health just means it'll take longer to kill you, you'll still lose the battle.
• Don't waste favor points to increase your army size. You need to friend real people who will send you gifts and will help you with boss battles and vice versa.
• I tend to put 2 points in Energy, 2 in Defense and 1 in Attack.
• Don't forget to increase Stamina, but don't waste all your points on it. It's good to have enough Stamina so that it's recharging while you're not playing.
• Don't forget you get free stat increases demi powers.
