Don’t get too attached

Details from Beta, especially brand-new Beta content, don’t tend to be very reliable for actual release.

It’s incredibly common that features are changed during Beta testing, or sometimes even after testing but before release. That is, after all, the purpose of Beta testing.

So I wouldn’t get too attached to any of this — it’s not unheard of for entire portions of features to be removed or reworked, or for radical changes to functionality to be made.

Aether Summon

This is new summon portal where you can summon for Aethers with Trainer heroes.

The possible outcomes of pulling in the portal:

Combo Name Aether count Aether type Trainer hero count Trainer Hero Type
Rare Aether Combo 1 Aether I 1 1* Trainer Hero
Epic Aether Combo 1 Aether II 1 2* Trainer Hero
Legendary Aether Combo 1 Aether III 1 3* Trainer Hero
Alpha Combo 1 Alpha Aether 1 3* Master Trainer Hero
Super Alpha Combo 5 Alpha Aether 1 4* Master Trainer Hero

The Aethers and Trainer heroes are from the same element for Rare, Epic and Legendary Aether Combos.

Portal odds

  • Rare Aether Combo: 50%
  • Epic Aether Combo: 35.5%
  • Legendary Aether Combo: 7.5%
  • Alpha Combo: 6%
  • Super Alpha Combo: 1%

Summon Cost

  • 1x Pull:10 Aether Crystals
  • 10x Pull:90 Aether Crystals

Pulling with Gems is not available.


:question: F.A.Q

Will be there a quest to get Aether Crystals ?

Will be there another way to get these Alpha Aerthers ?

So, it’s a portal to summon Alpha Aethers, which are required to further train up our Heroes another 5 levels?

Summons odds:
Rare combo: 50% (1 aether 1 and 1 trainer hero)
Epic: 35.5% (1 aether 2 and 1 trainer hero)
Legendary: 7.5% (1 aether 3 and 1 trainer hero)
Alpha: 6% (1 alpha aether and 1 master trainer
Super Alpha: 1% (5 alpha aether and 1 master trainer)

I wasn’t paying enough attention but looks like trainer hero rarity increases with combos.
One summon currently costs 10 aether crystals. 10x costs 90. 7% chance of doing a pull and getting an alpha aether. Due to the way this is gated, and unlike aethers 1.0 which you got from a quest, some players won’t have alpha aethers for a while.

This is screaming the portals arent pulling the same revenue as they once were and here is another way to create revenue. Honestly, this is something that would sit really bad with myself. Others might be great with it but I dont see anything good about this. It was stated the Aethers wouldnt be up for sale and hence, they’re always up for sale
For me, it wont matter too much being I’ve gone vc2p but still, I really dont like this at all and didnt like it when they did the 1st LBs

Now we will have to be “lucky” (or spend more) to upgrade our heroes? Nothing guaranted?

Joke…

Definitely against this. Especially with PVP coming.

This move screams PAYWALLED and will only create bigger gap between those who spend, and those who don’t.

Zynga will definitely sell aether crystals in regular and FTW offers. More gambling.

Other games with this concept are more “humane”: give some from quests / events or farming certain (very difficult) maps to get super aethers, and selling some at comparatively higher prices.

Some even have “wheel of fortune” lucky draws offering a gamut of valuable stuff, with at least 2 spins free, and the rest purchased.

This is the first game with a portal for AM, for me.

The odds being what they are, it will be like pulling 3* heroes from a hero portal.

This will be the 1st time SG has made getting AM through a portal. Be careful guys, it’s just the beginning of what’s to come. I can only speak for myself but this will most likely be the end for me.

Just wait, they will be adding a LB to the troops soon. The LB will take them to level 34 and add 1 more level to each of the and will cost the same amount of mats and feeders to go from 30-34 as it does to go to from 1 to 29

I don’t suppose these aether summons at least count toward FS, right? That would be too “generous”.

I can’t even tell what the feature is, but it sure looks like everyone who does understand it is angry.

Zynga, do not kill your golden goose…Don’t do things that actively anger your player base!!

Wouldn’t put it pass Zynga to introduce troop LB. I suspect that Zynga will release another more powerful troop first before doing that.

OP troops generate plenty of sales: ham, feeder troops.
