Oz: Broken Kingdom Cheats: Tips & Strategy Guide

It’s the Wizard of Oz like you’ve never seen it before! Oz: Broken Kingdom takes us back into a re-imagined world of Oz. Join an all new hero, Ophelia Shen, on an epic quest to save the kindgom! Of course, she won’t be alone. Accompanying her are legendary Oz heroes Scarecrow, Tin Man, and Lion. Broken Kingdom plays much like a turn-based RPG, but there are some card collecting elements as well. Today we’re diving into the the wonderful world of Oz, so here’s our Oz: Broken Kingdom cheats, tips and tricks strategy guide!

1. Master each hero’s innate ability!

Each hero has a specific resource that can significantly power up their abilities.

• Ophelia gains Instinct whenever enemies use their abilities. You can Awaken at maximum instinct points. Ophelia’s speed and critical rate are increased for three turns during awaken. Her basic attack Back-Alley Blades is also replaced with Blink Strike, a magic-type powerful attack. It’s easy to get this to trigger with little repercussions if you use shield and healing abilities such as Back-Alley Instincts.
• Scarecrow gains Focus whenever he uses a normal offensive ability. His next ability becomes supercharged when at full focus, causing it do deal more damage. Scarecrow’s innate ability is probably the most straightforward out of all the heroes, as you will be constantly dealing damage with him anyways. Just be sure to save a hard hitting ability for supercharge, and keep in mind that your basic attack and defensive abilities cannot be supercharged.
• Tin Man gains Oil whenever he takes damage. You gain extra mana when you hit maximum oil. Much like Ophelia, an efficient way to build oil is to endure a couple turns of attacks. Offset incoming damage with shield and healing abilities as you build oil. His ability Oil Bath grants him increased mana regeneration. You can then unleash a barrage of attacks with abundant mana once your oil is filled.
• Lion gains Courage whenever he attacks and loses it whenever he receives damage. The higher his courage is, the more bonus damage is added onto his attacks. Play him like you would play Scarecrow – relentlessly attack and don’t let up. Abilities that increase his speed or lower enemies’ such as Bestial Fury and Maim synergize very well with Lion’s playstyle. He has a big advantage if he can get as many turns in as possible before enemies can act.

2. Make the better gems as soon as possible!

You will gain access to the city’s gem crafters once you defeat the final boss of Munchkin Town. You’re probably struggling through the tougher fights at this point in the game, so it’s imperative that you start making the better gems as soon as possible. You’ll need every ounce of help you can get even if the stat boosts don’t seem like much at first. Keep in mind that as you craft the better gems, you can use them to craft the even greater gems! You need to remove them from your heroes first, though.

3. Something not working? Try other heroes!

Generally you’re going to pick the hero that has the type advantage over the enemies you face, but usually levels will have enemies from at least three different types. If you’re having trouble with one hero, try out another one and see what works. Early on, we had a lot of trouble when using Tin Man, as his damage output was just not enough to get through some levels, even with all of his defensive abilities. Ophelia was fast and strong enough to clean up even when against Strength-type enemies.

4. Power up abilities!

I’ll be honest. I had a pretty rough time getting through Munchkin Town, which is just the starting chapter. The difficulty curve of this game ramps up pretty fast, and you’ll be losing battles frequently if you don’t upgrade often.

• Use your coins as soon as you get them. One copper coin is worth a single pull from the Bronze Wonder Pool, which will help you upgrade your existing abilities and maybe even get new ones.
• Revisit older levels. Each level has a specific ability or item it can drop once. If you have found the item in question, a green check mark will appear in the drop list. You can then spend 100 emeralds to refresh the chance to get it, but it’s usually not worth it. Revisit each old level until you’ve collect all of the treasures.
