This thread is to provide early insights and discussion on the new Contest of Elements Quest - Dark Version.
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.
Contest of Elements Quest
The Contest of Elements Quest contains 10 stages, which can be played succesfully only once.
Hero Roster Mastery
There will be Hero Roster Mastery just like the Taverns Quest:
Special Gameplay
You can only bring Dark heroes to the battles.
As noted in the rules you bring twice amount of battle items what you can usually do. (Eg: 20 Small mana potions, 10 Tornados, and you will need those as even the first stage has 5 waves.
Hunter’s Lodge items are also allowed.
All waves are like a boss stage, where all enemies are elite enemies.
There is at least 1 boss at every wave, which is a Dark hero from the portal.
The final wave contains 3 Dark boss heroes.
| Stage | WE | Recommended TP | Waves | Elemental Summon Coins |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 4 | 2700 | 5 | 10 |
| 2 | 5 | 3000 | 5 | 10 |
| 3 | 6 | 3300 | 5 | 10 |
| 4 | 7 | 3700 | 5 | 15 |
| 5 | 7 | 4000 | 5 | 15 |
| 6 | 8 | 4300 | 5 | 20 |
| 7 | 8 | 4600 | 5 | 20 |
| 8 | 9 | 4800 | 5 | 25 |
| 9 | 9 | 5000 | 5 | 25 |
| 10 | 10 | 5200 | 5 | 50 |
| Total | 73 | 200 |
Mana speed in the event
As you can read in the rules above all tiles are charging your heroes even the off color tiles.
Off colour tiles charge only 20% of the usual charge, while on color tiles charge your heroes with 40% of the usual speed.
I have created a table about how much tiles needed to charge you heroes at various mana speeds without any mana troop or mana generation buff / stack:

Topic about the new Heroes in the Quest:
Super Elemental Portal
The portal is very special as it contains various heroes from various seasons and events, and the new Super Elemental heroes.
The regular Elemental Portal is replaced with this Super Elemental Portal.

The portal runs on Gems and Elemental Coins.
Super Elemental Dark Chest
Summon 10 times to open a Super Elemental Fire Chest !
