### 3/5 — Needs Work

*2025-05-30*

I bought the ad-removal package because you can literally watch up to 40 minutes of ads per day which is insane.  The game says it gives you 3x speed with that package, but mine doesn’t go past 2x.  Also, I feel like the game could be reworked for the user interface or explanations; I can’t figure out what causes the different elements to activate for the archers.  The explanation says it activates when it gets to 6, but sometimes 2 elements activate and sometimes 4 elements do nothing.

In addition, trying to rotate through the heroes to see what gear they’re wearing is annoying.  The game just rotates to random heroes that aren’t active.
