With those videos posted too, I would call the series "done - for now". Thanks to those who suggested decks!
If you have any further deck ideas, just drop a DM.
 

Even without the "save all replays" option, your very latest game is always there as "autosave.pmv". As soon as you start a new game of course, that one gets overwritten.
So either you save all replays, or you rename the autosave right after the game to secure it.

The stream is now also on YouTube:

Thanks again to @Ultralord for joining the series. Next up are @Zyna and @Ladadoos, both Project Lead, on the 19th of November (19:30 CET).
See you in the Forge, fellow Skylords!

HOW TO SUPPORT


Not so rarely new Skylords ask a simple question on Discord or the forums: How can I help? As we all wish for more players, there are things you can do to help to make Skylords Reborn succeed. Skylords Reborn can be supported through many actions, some of them are just two minutes for some clicks, others are a long-term commitment.
Important Disclaimer: This guide does not rank people by importance - these are suggestions how to help the game succeed, ranked by their needed involvement level. Also, you don't have to “climb this ladder” to become part of the Skylords Reborn team.
Hopefully some of these suggestions speak to you, and inspire you to take some action:

 
 SOLDIER
Quick Tier - the most helpful clicks to settle in
Help drive the most essential metric by subscribing to the official Skylords YouTube channel, and like the trailer. Join the Skylords Discord to stay on top of news, and help build an enjoyable community. Subscribe to the other official Skylords Reborn socials: Instagram, Facebook, Reddit, and TikTok.  CHAMPION
Basic Tier - become a part of the community
Subscribe to BattleForge content creators, and like their videos if you enjoy them. Participate in events - not just for prizes, but to support event hosts. Make sure beginners are welcomed properly: Answer questions, and play multiplayer maps with them. Read the monthly Community Update and help spread correct information about the state of the project. Interact with forum posts or Discord messages through likes, emoticons etc. - the creators will appreciate that. Make a proper bug report when you encounter a bug or crash. This rarely happens, but: report rule violations, either ingame or on the #contact-staff Discord channel. Suggest the game to people you know that will enjoy a RTS/TCG game, but make sure you coordinate with the Skylords team Outreach Coordinator when contacting high profile people or outlets.  HERO
Dedicated Tier - invest some time to make the Skylords experience better
Accompany some Twitch streamers, while the community is still small, one viewer more or less makes a huge difference. Participate in the votes or share your decks on the SMJ community deck section. Become an educator: Help others understand core concepts like void power or faction mechanics, and give advice on expert maps on the ingame strategy channel or on the deckbuilding channel on Discord. Write a beginner guide or a deck building/strategy guide on the forum, or a more general one like the one you are reading right now. Create something: make a painting, a graphic, a short clip, a song, a text, a meme, an animated GIF or just some cookies, and share it in the art, video or meme channel. Become a sponsor of a community contest/event to beef up its prize pool. Join the discussion and give quality feedback on the Balance Discord.
   SKYLORD
 Invested Tier - halfway down the rabbit hole
Become a Contributor: There are several roles that don't require you to join the team, like Map Tester, Translator, Proofreader, Art Critique, or Internal Tester. Get involved into more detail-focussed Discords, like lore, descriptions, mapmaking, or rPvE. Help maintain the Skylords Reborn Wiki by either adding or updating articles. Create an enjoyable community map. Host an event for other Skylords to enjoy, be it PvE, PvP or something else. Contribute to Skylords Open Source projects. Become a content creator on YouTube, or start to stream the game on Twitch.  

Maybe this rather long list inspired you to help in one way or another. 
As a final suggestion: If you have free resources, you might be interested in joining the Skylords Reborn team and directly work on the game to make it better! Please be aware that almost everybody thinks “I'm not good enough” at first. Don't let that stop you! There are loads of different positions for nearly every skill set. 
 


If you have any suggestion about something I missed, please write it in a comment down below, so I may add it!

Yeah I was wondering that myself because I expected four.
There are only three, one on the T2/T3 position each and another one in a bandit camp.

This is a great idea for a series. I'm excited to watch some of these. Altar of Chaos is a card I've never seen!

Check out SMJ: https://smj.cards/community/decks

Hello Skylords,
One of the best things about cards games is the way you can combine cards and come up with cool decks. Yet, too often we turn to the most powerful combos, even when it's not necessary. On rPvE 9 you have much leeway to take a 2nd or even 3rd class deck, and still not be a burden on your teammates.
This series contains many deck suggestions which not only are working in difficulty 9, but also keep the game fresh and exciting by trying out new playstyles. So have a look at the playlist, and if you got a suggestion for a deck to cover here, just submit it to me - I will try it out and might make a video on it.
The following decks have been covered so far:

Here is the playlist with the playthroughs:
CLICK HERE
I hope you find one deck or another that gives you a refreshing outlook on rPvE 9, and see you in the Forge!

Probably obvious, but t4 must be obtained by building the monument, not using amii monument, right?
 
And per @pierakor's question. You could finish the map with all master archers and then build t2-4 when the archers are already amassed, right? As long as you don't summon more of them by the time t2 is available.
Do we even need to beat the map or can we quit once t4 is up and chests are open?

yes

Sounds good! Last place beware, here I come! 

oh I think the question was about human players not AIs, in that case I am not sure maximum amount of teams is probably 217, or 254, both -3 because of mandatory teams (for trees rocks and animals 🤔SpellForce leftover?), or there is some other limit I do not know about.
But lobby shows only team 4 (normal PvE player or team 1 in PvP), and team 5 in case of PvP.

I could see an Abyssal Warder-style Phoenix mechanic. Every revive makes the next Phoenix progressively smaller and weaker until it can't revive anymore.

Hello Skylords,
I was doing the videos for this already, and this patch the achievement got an upgrade - not only 100k, but also the Fire Forge theme gets rewarded for doing this. The challenge I set out to do is doing all six needed maps with one deck, and this is what I came up with:

Deck code: MEUaFhK_K7FKMlKEGGNCPcTMUCNiFAaWLZXFMpLNS

So, to get to the playlist of all playthroughs click the link:
CLICK HERE FOR THE PLAYLIST
Of course, to have an easier time, you may switch out some cards to have an easier time on each map.
See you in the Forge, fellow Skylords!

Tried two times and didnt crash. (before, every try was a instant crash)
So seems fixed? Thank you my'Lady!

Hey everyone,

Fixed a regression that prevented ground units from opening gold chests while in combat. Fixed an issue in the cosmetics paging logic that caused entries to be displayed twice in some cases. Fixed replays displaying the wrong date and time in the replay selection menu. Card Fixes
Soulstone: Fixed the cooldown of Soul Armor (T2 Shielding ability) to actually work. Stronghold: Improved EN/DE description of Cannon Turrets to be more consistent. Improved non-EN description of Bombardment to be more consistent. Improved EN description of To the Last! to be more consistent.
