🧪 Early Information on Contest of Elements (Ice) Event [Part of The Beta Beat v54]

NOTE: Please do not, under any circumstances, share IMAGES OR VIDEOS from Beta in this or any public Forum thread. Violations can cause players to lose their Beta accounts, or threads to be closed down.

This thread is to provide early insights and discussion on the new Contest of Elements Quest - Ice 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 structure is similar to the Tavern Legends Quest as it 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 Ice 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 Ice hero from the portal.
The final wave contains 3 Ice boss heroes.

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:

The regular Elemental Portal is replaced with this Super Elemental Portal.

The portal runs on Gems and Elemental Coins.

Yes, no costumes in the portal.

I found this to be the easiest Contest of Elements so far. I completed with the following teams:

Stage TP Healer EDD D-Down Mana Control Mana Up Tiles Minions Hitter 1 Hitter 2 Hitter 3
10 4,646 C2.Kiril Frida CB.Isarnia Jott Glenda
8-9 4,357 Aino Nordri Grimm (Aino) Glenda Lord Loki
6-7 4,052 Kiril Nordri Frank C.Richard Vela
4-5 4,080 Raffaele Frank Magni Skadi Sonya
2-3 3,432 Helo C.Gunnar Thorn CB.Karil Jouk
1 3,281 Frosty Ulmer Valen Valeria Yao

So what made it so easy:

-Aethers: Blue has had the most limit break quests available
-Bosses: One of the heroes has limited use outside of fire heroes and the other doesn’t directly do damage
-Healers: blue is notorious for having an abudance of healers

The hardest thing is if you let the counterattack go off and don’t have dispel. Since all tiles do damage, you don’t have much of a way to deal with it outside of a straight dispel. I focused all of my damage on Anzia at the start of the boss wave.

Yeah, I also noticed that this was the easiest for me too.

But it can be because of lower stats of the enemies.

Sounds like Zynga is dumbing down event difficulty level for CoE to allow for higher completion rate.

=> Bigger pool of happier players
=> Higher retention rate ?

=> Higher activity level for SE portal
=> Happier players spend more ?

@birksg At stage 10, you have a Misandra marked twice on the waves. Is this a mistake?

These were my teams in the same order from top down. Ariel, Frosth and Snow were all 1-1 as they came in the last month. The rest were mostly fully leveled.
The event was a breeze. Needed 3 antidotes in 3 levels to get rid of the blind.
