There's no rush in CQ, but you could get stuck for gold/bread shortage, hero level, damage problems, armor problems and honor problems. Honor over time becomes useless, so you shouldn't worry about it. If your tank keeps dying quickly, you are missing armor from your paladin weapon. If you don't have gold, watch your spending, you could be using too much on training for low level breads. If you are having bread problems, you'll have to be patient for daily oven and thursday bread dungeon. If you don't have heroes, you need to be patient and keep the ones that are getting you by now. You can save up all the free jewels from quests, tome, level ups, hangame and pvc for 50 jewel pull or use those same jewels to train and work your teams. If you can't get beyond a certain point, it could be you aren't ready to take it and your heroes need more level ups. If your heroes feel too weak, you probably need to upgrade your weapons or gain new ones (5/6 star are what you are looking for), they are more obsolete now if you can just patiently get free stuff to make Soul Bound Weapons. Maybe your heroes need the right skills, the recommended "skills" are on the right side of this reddit. Once, you've made improvements, you'll probably see better results in PvE and PvC.
