Game Guide: Ever Legion

11/14/2025: No current offers available for this title.

When it was first offered, this was like RAID or AFK Arena, where you needed to merge characters into a Legendary. Now we have to clear the chapters.

Offer Terms

The offer currently requires you to complete chapters of the Storyline within a set period.

Previous versions of the offer required users to collect Epic and Mythical Heroes to get rewards.

The offer time limit has been increased to 45 days to finish all objectives. The goals are time-based, so you will need to rush at least for the first week.

MyPoints (Obsolete) $483

MyPoints 2024
Swagbucks 2024

Ayet (Obsolete) $414

The offer terms for the Ayet offer wall now mimic those found on Swagbucks and MyPoints. The reward was reduced to $274 (in September) to finish all terms within 45 days. The new final reward is for level 31.


Ascension Chart

Upgrading Heroes

As you can see from the chart above, the game runs on the same system as AFK Arena, with users collecting multiple copies of the same hero card to upgrade a single card.

Three of the factions use a simplified upgrade plan. If you look at the bottom of the chart.

A single hero card raised to Legendary can then be upgraded all the way to Mythical using additional duplicate Epic+ hero cards.

The four standard factions, Vitalus, Ardent, Illuminated, and Eternal, use a slightly more complex combination.

You will need to use two random Epic+ and Legendary+ hero cards at select stages of the upgrade. This differs from the upgrade path at the bottom of the chart.

Game Progress

The bulk of the game’s features and functions will be unlocked after completing Stage 2-5 of the campaign.

I can’t provide any suggestions for completing the campaign other than to get some strong heroes fused. Usually, clearing stages is not the focus of game offers.

Game Strategy

The game runs top-down like similar games in the genre. Your town is located on a small island and you will use Ships to battle monsters, gather resources, and complete storyline missions.

Your ships will be crewed by pirates that you train at the Pub. You’ll need to make weapons for the pirates, and cannons for any ships you build as well as cannons for upgrades to your Gate (town wall).

You will be limited in the number of ships you can have in your harbor depending on the level of your Dock. Ships are built at the Shipyard and then launched into the port.

I wouldn’t suggest replacing your ships with higher-tier ones unless a mission objective requires it. You will get upgrade parchments later on that can be used with Gold to tier up your ships to Galleons.

Every day you can speed up any construction timer by 100 minutes, up to 10 times by watching a short 20-second advertisement.

You also get similar advertisement speedup options available when healing pirates, upgrading ships, crafting gear, and the Free Daily Rewards.

The daily rewards have 10 stages that will reward you with 100 Gold each on the first 9 and then 1,000 Gold on the last one for a total of 1,900 Gold each day.

Gathering Resources vs Production at Island

The basic resources in the game are Food, Lumber, and Silver.

The silver mostly gets used to upgrade ships and gear until the later stages of the game.

I found gathering resources to be incredibly slow, the same can be said for Producing resources in your town. The skill boosts you get from leveling up barely make a difference in the speed.

If you look below, you can see that a level 10 Farm produces much more resources than the upgraded Lumber Mill and the Silver Mine.

I would suggest only building Farms. You can build a single Lumber Mill and Silver Mine to complete the corresponding missions.

You can handle most of your early game Food needs this way and then you only need to focus on Gathering Lumber from islands. You should get plenty of Silver from mission rewards and Events.

When your power level sparkles tap on it to get chests with loot

Monster Hunting

The best way I found to get resources was by using the Monster Hunting function.

You can send out your ships to hunt critters or merchant ships and you will get good rewards when you win. Better yet, you can turn on the Hunting Streak which sets your ships on auto-pilot, they will keep hunting monsters of a set level until you either run out of Stamina or use Auto-mode.

Some Events run weekly and require you to hunt monsters using Tacticians of set Elements like Fire or Wind. I received a chest with 100,000 Gold from this Event.

I was able to skip a couple levels with all the Gold I got.

Use stamina refills whenever you utilize the Auto-Hunt function

Alliances

Alliance: Your guild or clan will be able to help with speed-ups and boosts to gathering within the territory of the alliance fortress.

You will also receive Chests every time someone completes various tasks in the game or buys something from the Store. It’s also good to keep plunderers away if you are in an active Alliance.

VIP System

VIP: You will start the game at VIP level 1.

At the basic level, you get a 5-minute free speed-up to complete buildings. At level 2, this speed increases to 7 minutes. It’s not particularly appealing.

A good thing though is that you will get all of the Gold rewards from the previous tier that were unclaimed. So about 3,000 Gold, which can be very useful in the early game for upgrading your Castle.

In addition, you will be able to use the “Claim All” function on Alliance chests so that you are not tapping forever claiming them.

To reach VIP 2, you will need to acquire 50 VIP Points.

When I first checked my VIP level it said I had 30 Points accrued, although I couldn’t remember how I got the first 30 points.

You will get 45 Gems as part of the Tutorial which can be spent on a Shop item that gets you 10 VIP points.

Theoretically, this would mean that you would only need to spend $1 on a basic pack in the Shop to level up your VIP ranking.

For just a dollar you can raise your VIP level and get 3,000 gold


Swagbucks: Call of Antia

I did this offer for Call of Antia through the aYet Studios offer wall.

Unfortunately, they did not credit me the correct amount. I only received 50% of the advertised rewards. I sent in a ticket, and they said to wait 7 days to see if it was credited.

Call of Antia 5,066 SB offer I started

I emailed back that they were misunderstanding me and that I had already been credited, but that it was the wrong amount. No response.

Ruby & Rose the 5-Star hero I got

7 days later, I replied to the ticket message that I was still without the credit. No response. I checked the offer wall, and the game wasn’t listed under my pending offers. 10 Days later, I replied again to the ticket. No contact.

offer terms clearly show the correct amount

The offer requires that you purchase a “Battle Pass” for $9.99. I ended up barely breaking even on this offer after the purchase.

I now see that they have another Call of Antia offer up for 21,250 SB, and that you need to collect 8 of the 5-star heroes. This is quite impossible without spending hundreds of dollars.

You can buy 1 5-Star hero for $99, and you get a 5-Star for every 85 Sacred summons using Orange Summon Stones valued at $1 each.

Unless you get lucky on your summons, you are looking at close to $700 spent to complete this version. And aYet Studios may not credit you the correct amount.

they only paid 50% of the advertised reward

I would definitely advise against doing this offer through the aYet Studios offer wall, if at all.

Game Guide: Puzzles & Survival

This is a variant of Puzzles & Conquest but with Zombies.

Update 2023: I am updating this guide to match the current offer terms on both Swagbucks and MyPoints. You have 30 days to complete the offer. It utilizes the Tiered Objectives method, allowing you to stop at any point you decide.

You may have read my guide to Puzzles and Conquest; this one is a reskin of that game, or maybe the other way around? If you have completed the other offer, you won’t have any trouble completing this one.

The rewards shown below are using the MyPoints calculation of 150 points = $1.

  • Unlock a 5-star hero = 500 points ($3.33)
  • HQ Level 11 = 1,700 ($11.33)
  • HQ Level 16 =4,250 ($28.33)
  • HQ Level 23 = 20,400 ($136)
  • HQ Level 31 = 34,000 ($226.67)
  • Total Reward = 60,850 ($405.67)
Puzzles & Survival offer terms and conditions from the MyPoints website as of year 2023.

My total spending on this offer


If you are not already a member of Swagbucks, MyPoints, or InboxDollars, I strongly recommend signing up. These sites are a great source of extra income for spontaneous purchases.

Game Strategy

Put most of your Talent points into the Economy skill tree. The Fast-Build ability will reduce construction time by a considerable margin. Make sure you first activate the ability and then start the construction. It also works with Research timers.

Alliances

Find an alliance early on and don’t fret about jumping to a different one if there are not many active players. If the alliance leader has not set a custom name or their power level is lower than your own, you may need to either switch alliances or depose them and take over the alliance yourself. Construction speed boosts and Shields may be purchased through the alliance shop. These are useful for completing the offer.

Don’t worry if there is no one online when you want to raid. The game will provide assist marches to your raid, allowing you to successfully solo Monster Lairs.

You just need enough troops to win the battle. Hero fragments for Chester, Otto, Flint, and Requiem can all be acquired from battling monsters on the world map.

I would advise you to focus mainly on the raids as they provide Chests that contain large amounts of Player EXP. You can also save your chests to open only during events that require you to collect specific resources or hero fragments. Often, having a cache of chests available will make the difference in reaching the highest tier of Daily or Weekly events.

Hero Types

Just as with Puzzles & Conquest, I really want to stress that you need to focus on your Economy heroes. They will reduce your construction resource costs to zero; the same goes for Research. You will get a bonus to your Lord’s experience gain, Free Time on building speed-ups, and big boosts to resource-building outputs, as well as gathering speed and marching speed.

You will need 10 fragments to unlock and add a hero to your collection. Skill unlocks are based on hero level (31, 71, 131).

The strength of the skills is based on the Enhancement Tiers shown here.

  • Unlock = 10 Fragments
  • First Enhance = 10 Fragments
  • Second Enhance = 20 Fragments
  • Third Enhance = 35 Fragments
  • Fourth Enhance = 50 Fragments
  • Fifth Enhance = 75 Fragments

Special Hero List

Got a nice visual display here to help. The heroes you want to focus on are as follows:

Kento (2 Star): Take Kento to level 31 and stop. Enhance whenever you get enough fragments or whole pieces.

Xavis (2 Star): Take Xavi to level 31 and stop. Enhance whenever you get enough fragments or whole pieces.

Flint (3 Star): Take Flint to level 31; you can even go to 71 if you want the extra bonus. Enhance whenever you get enough fragments or whole pieces.

Chester (3 Star): Take Chester to level 31, you can even go to 71 if you want an extra bonus. Enhance whenever you get enough fragments or whole pieces.

Otto (4 Star): Take Otto all the way to 71. He is also good at the Campaign.

Varvara (4 Star): She is also good to take to 71 and get the full bonus. As a 4-star, she will fight well in the Campaign.

Anahita (3 Star): She gives Free Speed on timers. The only other way to get this benefit is by getting higher in your VIP rank.

Other Economy heroes can be leveled to either 31 or 71 as needed. Your Combat heroes, including Fighters, Riders, Shooters, and Vehicles, don’t necessarily need to be leveled up. You should select a team of five to serve as your primary heroes for all battles. These heroes you will want to level to the max as resources permit.

Strategy Continued

This guide was originally for doing the offer without spending money. However, the current offer terms do require spending some money, in my opinion. I would suggest spending $4.99 on both the Builders and Researchers gear sets. They will reduce the Resource costs for all construction and research up through Headquarters level 16.

In my first attempt at this game, it took me 5 days and all my resources and speed-ups to get to HQ level 15. Sadly, I missed out on the extra bonus at the end of the Beginner event. I still got my 5-star hero, but not the extra fragments to enhance him. It takes 2 days to upgrade from 15 to 16, with about a 14% Construction Speed boost. You get the War set of Gear for free initially and can start crafting Gear at Forge level 16.

I would strongly advise not using the Recycle option to try to unlock a 5-star hero. The stat bonuses you can get from your 2 and 3-star heroes are worth more than the combat advantages a 5-star hero may impart in the early game. Also, after the beginner event ends, 5-star heroes can be acquired through weekly events and various minigames.

Something else to note: the 5-star hero unlocked through the beginner event can be upgraded if you manage to reach HQ level 17 before the event ends. This will require rushing the construction, as the building time exceeds the time limits of the event.

Answers to Fox’s Test

Other games in this franchise include Puzzles & Conquest and Palace & Puzzles.

Game Guide: Puzzles and Conquest

There are varying versions of this game offered on Swagbucks and other platforms. This guide is for an older offer, but the gameplay tips are still very valid.

Puzzles & Conquest is a Build & Battle mobile game that incorporates Match3 mechanics for story progression.

This one is potentially a money maker, although you can do it without a purchase if you’d like. Puzzles & Conquest can be found in the SB Live app and it should be listed for at least 1,981 SB.

Offer Terms

Offer Terms require you to reach Castle level 15 and to acquire a 5-star Hero to get the full reward.

2023 Terms
2021 Terms

Total spending for the offer


P2W

Very easy. After you complete the tutorial there will be a pop-up offer to buy Lucifer Hero for $4.99, he is a 5-star hero.

Beyond that, you only need to reach Castle level 15. You will get a large cache of Gems when you buy the pack, which can be used to speed through building upgrades to reach castle level 10.

F2P

If you are going for the full reward and don’t intend on spending any money on packs or heroes this is what you’ll want to focus on.

Your Economy heroes will give big discounts on Building/Researching Costs, Construction Timers, Troop Training Capacity, Gathering Speeds, and Resource Output Speed.

Our goal is to get the Castle up to 15 ASAP and clinch the 800 points in the Beginner Event: Saurland’s New Dawn. This will earn us our first 5-star hero.

Nilesh: Economy Hero

Summoning

You will need 10 Fragments to initially summon the Hero. The bonus the hero provides is based on their Level and Enhancement Rank.

Heroes can achieve 8 Ranks from collecting Fragments; however, the Economy heroes only go to 5th rank.

For this offer, you will want to collect Scarlet, Harald, Sakhir, Albertus, Lamassu, and Elros.

You get 5 free summons per day at the Basic level and 1 free rare. You also get 1 free Deluxe summon every 2 days. Playing in the Campaign will also earn you basic summon tokens as well as Blitzing the campaign missions for rewards.

Several events will play out in the first week that will provide additional summoning opportunities.

Tips & Tricks

You should wait until you have 9 tokens available and then do the discounted (10x) summon option.

You will get both Fragments of Heroes and also have a chance at a “whole” hero. Since we don’t need to clear many levels of the Campaign for our strategy you won’t need to only level up Good heroes.

Just focus on getting your Economy Heroes all up to level 31 and then Enhancing them with your collected fragments.

Recycling

In the Hero tab under Bag, you can Recycle hero fragments that you do not need.

You will get points for each recycled fragment and these in turn can be used to get the Economy fragments. If you exchange your Military fragments for Economy, you will get a large amount.

Hunting

You can Hunt Monsters on the world map to get Scarlet and Nilesh fragments.

Monsters levels 1-9 will drop Scarlet and 10-19 have a chance at Nilesh or more likely Scarlet. Getting Scarlet to max rank is easy due to the numerous drops of her fragment in the game.

Hero Bonuses

Economy Heroes and their bonuses, at level 31 Rank 5:

  • Scarlet: +500 Troop Training Capacity, Research Iron Cost -100k.
  • Harald: Gold gathering Speed +30%, Hunt March Speed +30%.
  • Elros: Gathering Troop March Speed +30%, Gathering Speed +10%.
