The only 5* family hero Imhave leveled in my roster is Krampus! :rofl:

If I join this event, it will likely be for much the same reason a movie critic makes themselves watch awful movies: the act of writing really scathing reviews is almost worth the masochism?

Worse.

This would be true for pretty much every possible family, since I’ m not at all deep in any one family, but in particular I have one trained 5* Bard hero, one Christmas, and none Magic.

The featured classes wouldn’t immediately be as bad, but I’m a long way from anything like “I have the ability I want in the class with a boost,” so if I were to start winning early, I’d very soon be in, e.g. the Fighters Who Do Everything land while making choices between getting a stat boost that might let my heroes not immediately die versus abilities that might let my heroes not immediately die.

Since I’d be unlikely to receive sufficient boosting for using an unemblemed, un-LB’d, uncostumed S1 or before-the-dawn-of-time HotM to be worth it, I’m gonna go with “very likely not.”

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

cough

As if I could even really powerlevel, period, much less that I would even try to do so for an event I’m hardly keen on in principle and with no real rewards.

In a parallel universe in which I knew what the featured families were for next League, presumably to start about nine nanoseconds after the first Beta-not-Beta finishes, and in which I have multiple heroes of each family lying around awaiting ascension, and in which an event would reward expending in-game resources by offering more and significant such resources as a reward?

Maybe.

But I do not live in such a universe.

Oh… like… what if I could shift heroes into favored classes because I have costumes for my favorite heroes and could continue using them while getting favored-class bonuses?

What a cute idea.

Given that the results for my various Raid, War, and even Tournament defenses pretty much look like the results of a random-number generator with essentially no correlation with the amount of thought I put into them, probably pretty much “whatever.”

Maybe “whatever” with a slight bias toward whatever’s currently featured that I actually have? But given that battle-matchup RNG is capricious at best… pretty much “whatever.”

Gosh, it will be sO aWeSoMe to face five-fighter defenses in which every enemy hero has a 100% res chance upon death, or five-monk defenses with 100% status ailment immunity, and/or five-Magic-hero defenses in which the Family bonuses and not-so-passive Passives are going off so much that the actual Specials are only part of the apocalyptic fireworks…

I’m pretty much expecting the usual capricious sadism in which a few theoretical victories rapidly lead me into You’re Way Out Of Your League Land, in which any further victories or defeats lead to successive matchups ever-worse than the ones before.

Cant say im looking forward to this, but I will give the first one a go.

I dont have the squad depth to field featured families in defence, so i will be falling back on my trusted raid defence and hoping for the best.

I expect to make it out of week one but beyond that its anyone’s guess.

So if I understood (please tell me if I 'm wrong) you can use any hero you want. But the featured families will take the bonus.
So do we know what the bonus will be?
Does the bonus make a 4* of the featured families preferable than a 5*, both LB 'd?

Correct.

Here it is the bonus:

Guys, before asking questions, please read the OP in this thread… @PlayForFun does a tremendous work to gather all the information in one place, other creators also make great graphic guides which are also included in the OP, you better make good use of it ! And that stands true for anything in the game, read the OP of the master topic before asking.

My exact same thoughts. I will always try new things in the game at least once just to see how I like them.

Then use the damn search function, it’s working pretty good, especially if you type in the “master” keyword for stuff like events and such.

No levelled bard 5* (no impetus to level Wini)
Only Milena for Magic 5*
Only Mono for Xmas 5*

Currently intend to sit out this beta. Spectate and maybe participate in betting on eventual No 1 (if there’s a side bet going on) :joy:
