Marlin: Max Out & Dominate!

Building Marlin? Smart move. He's an Archer powerhouse. Here's the fastest way to get him to peak performance.

Marlin shards are tough to get for free. Focus on these:

Hall of Governors: #1 source! Marlin shards are top rewards. SAVE ALL UNIVERSAL SHARDS for this event.
Swordland Store: Buy the 3 shards/week (2500 Swordland Shards each). Save Swordland Shards!
Hero Roulette (Gems): Costly, but big gains. Save Gems and spend ONLY when Marlin is featured.
Events/Packs: Look for limited-time offers.
Alliance Shop: Check daily.

Bottom Line: Ruthlessly save Universal Shards & Gems for Marlin events.

Make Marlin a killer. Always prioritize skills that directly boost his (and your Archers') offense.

Exact Skill Upgrade Order (Match these types to Marlin's in-game skills):

Ultimate Skill (e.g., "Tidal Rush," "Arrow Barrage"): Max this first. It's his signature, highest damage ability.
Archer Attack/Damage % Buffs (e.g., "Sharp Shooter," "Lethality Boost"): Next, focus on passive skills that give your Archer troops direct Attack % or Damage % (Lethality) boosts. These are constant power increases.
Archer Troop Health/Defense % Buffs (e.g., "Vanguard Archers," "Tough Quiver"): After attack, invest in survivability. Health/Defense keeps your Archers shooting longer.
Hero-Specific Damage Skills (e.g., "Focused Shot," "Critical Aim"): Any other skills that directly increase Marlin's personal damage output.
Utility/Minor Buffs (e.g., "March Speed," "Resource Bonus"): Least critical for combat, upgrade these last.

Upgrade Efficiently:

Focus One Hero: All Hero Skill Tomes into Marlin until his core skills are maxed.
Get Skill Tomes: From events, Alliance Shop, Campaign, and Suppress Mode.
Level Marlin First: Higher hero level makes skills stronger.

Remember: Marlin's skills primarily buff your Archer troops. Focus on making that main Archer march devastating.

By doing this, your Marlin will dominate the battlefield. Good luck, Commander!
