In Empires & Puzzles, Loot Tickets are a valuable resource that allows you to automatically complete battles and collect rewards without having to actively play through the entire fight. These tickets are particularly useful for repetitive tasks like farming stages, completing Monster Chest battles, or Titan hits, saving time while still earning rewards.
Loot Tickets help speed up gameplay, making it easier to grind for resources, ascension materials, heroes, and other valuable items that you need for progression. In this guide, we’ll explore how to use Loot Tickets effectively, when to use them, and their limitations.
What Are Loot Tickets?
Loot Tickets are consumable items that allow you to skip the actual battle and automatically obtain the rewards of a completed stage or activity. These tickets can be used on most activities in the game, but they only work for stages or events that you have already completed at least once.
Loot Tickets do not guarantee better rewards, but they save you time and energy. For example, if you use Loot Tickets on a monster stage, you still receive the same rewards you would if you manually fought the stage, but without having to play through the battle.
How to Use Loot Tickets
1. Accessing Loot Tickets
Loot Tickets can be found in your inventory:
- Tap on the menu button in the bottom-right corner of the screen.
- Go to the Items tab where you’ll find your Loot Tickets.
From there, you can use the tickets to automate battles.
2. Using Loot Tickets on Stages
You can use Loot Tickets on most replayable stages in the game, such as:
- Monster Stages (e.g., raid stages, grinding stages, expansion stages)
- Titan Battles
- Special Events
- Chests (e.g., Monster Chests, War Chests, etc.)
To use a Loot Ticket:
- Navigate to the stage or event you want to farm.
- Once you have completed the stage at least once, you’ll see an option to use Loot Tickets.
- Tap the Loot Ticket button to skip the battle, and the game will automatically give you the rewards for that stage.
3. Loot Ticket Limitations
There are a few important things to note about Loot Tickets:
- Loot Tickets work only on stages you’ve already completed. You must first defeat the stage once to be able to use Loot Tickets on it.
- Loot Tickets do not guarantee better loot. The rewards from using a Loot Ticket are the same as what you would get if you manually completed the stage.
- Loot Tickets can be used on completed stages only—they cannot be used on boss battles or other stages where you haven’t yet won.
4. Using Loot Tickets for Farming
Loot Tickets are especially useful for farming resources, such as:
- Food
- Iron
- Crafting Materials
You can farm these resources quickly by repeatedly using Loot Tickets to skip past the battles. This is particularly helpful when you’re working on hero ascension or preparing for Titan battles.
5. Using Loot Tickets for Titan Battles
Loot Tickets can also be used on Titan battles. After battling a Titan, you can use a Loot Ticket to automatically collect the rewards without having to do another manual hit. This is useful if you’re trying to farm Titan materials or get items like Titan Chests.
How to Get Loot Tickets
Loot Tickets are acquired in several ways:
- Chests: Loot Tickets can be obtained from Raid Chests, Monster Chests, and War Chests.
- Special Events: Certain events or quests may reward Loot Tickets as part of their prize pool.
- In-Game Shop: Loot Tickets are sometimes available for purchase in the shop using gems or as part of bundles.
- Daily and Alliance Rewards: You can earn Loot Tickets as part of daily quests or alliance war rewards.
- Leveling Up Heroes: Occasionally, you can get Loot Tickets as rewards for progressing through the game’s different missions or quests.
Strategic Use of Loot Tickets
1. Use Loot Tickets for Farming
Loot Tickets are best used for farming low-level stages or repetitive tasks that require large amounts of resources. For example:
- Farming items for ascension materials or crafting.
- Gathering food and iron for upgrades or hero training.
- Collecting hero XP to level up lower-tier heroes.
Farming with Loot Tickets can help you maximize your resource gains without spending too much time on repetitive tasks.
2. Use Loot Tickets for Events
Many special events in Empires & Puzzles offer exclusive rewards that can help you progress in the game. These events often have time-limited challenges that you can speed through with Loot Tickets.
- Hero Chests: Use Loot Tickets to farm events that offer rare or special heroes.
- Ascension Materials: Certain events reward rare ascension materials, and Loot Tickets can help you quickly farm them.
3. Save Loot Tickets for Harder Stages
Although Loot Tickets are great for low-level farming, they’re also useful for harder stages once you’ve completed them. For example, once you beat hard levels of provinces, you can use Loot Tickets to save time on these difficult stages while still collecting rare loot.
When NOT to Use Loot Tickets
While Loot Tickets are a great way to save time, there are situations where you may not want to use them:
- High-Level Stages: If you need specific drops from a high-level stage (like a rare ascension material or hero), you might want to manually play through the stage for better control over the rewards.
- Limited Resources: If you are low on Loot Tickets or resources, consider saving them for later stages or events where you can get more valuable rewards.
Conclusion
Loot Tickets in Empires & Puzzles are a powerful tool for automating battles and speeding up your progression in the game. By using them strategically, you can farm resources, complete events, and save time on repetitive tasks like Titan battles or monster grinding. However, it’s important to use Loot Tickets wisely and prioritize when to use them for the best rewards. Save them for farming stages, events, or difficult levels where you can still collect valuable loot while conserving time and energy.
