This is my formation:
So: 4-man-row: Princess (party buffer) Artaxes (buffs the row in front) Kain for maximum gold output Finally i got Dark Gryphon. The reason i go with Dark Gryphon here is becouse his lvl 100 skill, +15% formation DMG, and I also got an equip that gives +10% for a total of 25%, instead of anything else here.
3-man-row: Gold Panda (Gold increase, also got +20% FDMG item) Nate Dragon (+10% FDMG, also high solo dmg) Jim (Jim and Sasha at higher level are the most gold efficiant/dps for me, also he gives the row +50% dmg)
2-man-row: Sasha (High solo dps, also buffs the row behind her, where Nate and Jim are) Khouri (Heal 1-man-row, Increase damage for Nate, Jim and Sasha)
1-man-row: Natalie Dragon (+15% FDMG , also gives boost to Nate when both in the formation)
This is the most efficient formation for me. Note that Sasha got the Rare shield gear, increasing her DPS for 100%, which may be why she works better for me then other people.
At some boss battles, i can also change the position of Dark Gryphon and Sasha to increase the longivity of Natalie with the heal from Khouri and the -65% dmg taken from Dark Gryphon. This decreases the DPS of the formation pretty much, but it allows Natalie to be able to take the beating anyway.
You could use an AHK script. When I get home (and remember it), I could share mine that I ~~quickly slapped together until it didn't break~~ wrote totally professionally and tested thoroughly. Because I agree, this objective can go and suck all kinds of unpleasant things.
There are a lot of external solutions to this, including AutoHotKey.
Example WinMove command for AHK:
WinMove, Crusaders of The Lost Idols,, 36, 36, 1459, 1009
You can use the Window Spy from AHK to see what position and size a particular window has, so you can see what the settings are after you set the window manually how you like.
Was thinking Norse Mythology... shutterstock has a photo of a statue they attribute to Bergen, Norway... that's close to what I was imagining... link: https://www.shutterstock.com/image-photo/bergen-norway-circa-august-2013-thor-1121587982?src=Aa5nsBDqAvMCDG19q8kbLQ-1-62
LOL - well, no printer (that has ink) so I can't print and color for real. No really cool paint programs. I had paint and a mouse, so I give you Spray paint Dragon Hugs.
