story of the coin on a busy street ver2

 Once two friends were walking down the sidewalk on a busy street during rush hour.  There were all sorts of noise in the city; car horns honking, feet shuffling, people talking! And amid all the noise, one of the friends turned to the other and said, “I hear a cricket.”

“No way,” her friend responded. “How could you hear a cricket with all of this noise? You must be imagining it. Besides, I’ve never seen a cricket in the city.”

“No really, I do hear a cricket. I’ll show you.”  She stopped for a moment, then led her friend across the street to a big cement planter with a tree in it.  Pushing back the leaves she found a little brown cricket.

“That’s amazing!” said her friend, “You must have a super-human hearing. What’s your secret?”

“No, my hearing is just the same as yours. There’s no secret,” The first woman replied. “Watch, I’ll show you.”  She reached into her pocket, pulled out some loose change, and threw it on the sidewalk.   Amid all of the noise of the city, everyone within thirty feet turned their head to see where the sound of the money was coming from.

“See,” she said. “It’s all a matter of what you are listening for.”

Story of the coin on a busy street

 Gerry was walking down a sidewalk in Washington D.C., with a Native American friend who worked in the Bureau of Indian Affairs. It was lunchtime in Washington. People were husslin’ and busslin’ along the sidewalks, and car honks and hurried engine noises filled the streets. In the middle of all this traffic, Gerry’s friend stopped and said, “hey, a. cricket!”

“What?” said Gerry.

“Yeah, a cricket,” said his friend. “Look here,” and he pulled aside some of the bushes that separated the sidewalk from the government buildings. There in the shade was a cricket chirping away.

“Wow,” said Gerry, “How did you hear that with all this noise and traffic?”

“Oh,” said the Native man. “It was the way I was raised … what I was taught to listen for. Here, I’ll show you something.”

The Native man reached into his pocket and pulled out a handful of coins … nickels, quarters, dimes … and dropped then on the sidewalk. Everyone who was rushing by stopped to … listen.

Titan War Newb Guide

 : Server: SA WAR114

: Name: dmax23

Below is a Guide for newcomers for TITAN war

To start - The game will start easy. You may pick any Hero, but i would recommend Barton - due to his range and damage output as well as his healing capabilities.

Faction to choose? - recommendation is to choose either techno or Super power. then select one or two nature as your healer

 - Nature: mostly are healers

 - Techno: heroes are all around, this is the most recommended

 - Super Power: Almost same as techno, though in my experience this faction has more damage output than techno

 - Lost: Mostly damage over time heroes.

 - Void and Deity: unless you have the cash, i would not recommend this faction.

- i am taking the techno route.

What hero to pick.

- Generally you need a tank, a healer, and a damager

Tank - who to pick?

 - Ideal Tank would be the abyss lord Jason of the Void faction. This is hard to get hero. 

 - For Mythic Heroes choose either. The Stun skill of both heroes below are very good on opposing heroes.

      :Blue Slicer Larissa of Techno faction. i would recommend this, as this is a very eassy hero to get. 

      :Ogre Champion Gu'Gunnar of Lost faction. 

Healer - who to pick?

- Ideal healer would be the Fairy Drake Esther of Void Faction or the twin angel of Deity Faction - both are hard to get BTW. 

- For Mythic Heroes choose any of the heroes from Nature faction, but i would recommend Magic Kitty Hallen. 

- if you would go for the techno route add Cyberpianist or Electro Boy Simon on your healer list. 

Damager - who to pick

- My personal preference would be the Desert Empress Diana, as his damage is based on his Sand Golem. 

- For Mythic Heroes my preference is Galaxy Guardians Anakin , this is a very easy to get hero. 

- if you would go the techno route, then get Agent Zero Faroe as your Mythic S+. this is fairly easier to get than Wind of judgement Doris. But if you can get Doris then by any means do get her. 

Recommended hero if you have the cash flow are: 

- Jason of Void as tank

- Esther of Void as Healer

- Diana of Super power faction as Damager

- Magic Kitty as back up healer or Vindicator Jeanne from super power faction for the faction bunos

- Damager phantom Edge Tous from Super power faction as 2nd damager

Recommended for Free to play players

- Larissa as Tank

- Magic Kitty as Healer

- Anakin as Damager

- Faroe as Damager

- You may chose either of these three as 2nd healer-  Sophia, Simon, or Adriana

Tips:

Focus on the damager on upgrading stuff, then the tank, then the healer.

- provide the damager on the best equipment, also upgrade all you can upgrade on the damager. Then follow it up with your tank.

your resources is scarce, so you need to prioritize where to put them.

Prioritize to awaken your damager, if you would not use the hero, you can use them as ingredient on awakening.

Event origems are scrap, do not use them, or even participate on them.

always roll with 10 scrolls on summoner spire

Hope this helps.
