šŸ§Ŗ Early Information on New Knights of Avalon Challenge Event [Part of The Beta Beat V23]

in atlantis you have always the same heroes all month, just 2 heroes change every month other are the same, i think it would be better if you can use challenge token on the same even where you take them.

Actually, in Atlantis you get the coins though the whole event. Thereā€™s no bulk reward right after the Atlantis Rise is over.

Here you can be literally given tens of coins for placing at certain rank at all 3 brackets. But the rewards are granted only AFTER the event, which is when the summon gate is no longer there to use the coins which kind of sucks.

I think this an excellent point. Maybe instead of the portal staying open for a set amount of time, there should be an option when you collect your rewards to use the coins then or save them. Because if the portal just stays open for a set time, people may miss it because they couldnā€™t collect their rewards until after it closed (Iā€™m presuming SG wouldnā€™t want to leave the portal open for an extended time after the eventā€“part of getting people to spend on summons is the limited availability).

Many limited time currencies do this in MMOs.

It is usually 24 hours after event ends.

This also helps generate IAP from players who waited to see their rewards, and were sniped at the last minute.

It would help to display two timers

Event Ends
Summons Ends

Totally missed this!

Good catch!

I would vastly prefer any winners can immediately spend their Challenge coins.

To be honest, I was happy because of the coins you get on finishing a tier. They are given right away so you can spend them as soon as you get them.
For example, lets say I complete rare and epic tiers, the first gives me 3 coins and the latter 5 coins. Iā€™m sitting at 8 , maybe I was lucky enough to find 2 suspicious chest and now I can do one event pull even with the event still going.

Iā€™m saying this because I usually rank veeery low in every tier, so I canā€™t rely on ranking reward, just on completion ones

Nice changes overall, although I do not see myself competing for the top ranks ever. Itā€™s pretty much out of reach for me as a C2P who only started this year.

My main concern is: will the legendary tier be possible to complete with a team of well-chosen and possibly emblemed 4*?

If not, theyā€™re taking away opportunities to obtain mats from players who, like me, are working towards their first 5* rainbow team.

Tokens: A way for FTP to summon challenge event heroes was badly needed but I was expecting randomly sprinkled drops of ā€œelementalā€ coins (colored hero tokens that work either on their specific color elemental summons OR a challenge event as was suggested many months ago.) I do not like the idea that challenge even tokens are only accessible during challenge event periods. The game is heavily favoring biweekly binge playing during atlantis rises and challenge events. In the back of my mind if Iā€™m scheduling a nice vacation with my wife, I do not want to have to even consider if it going to overlap one of those two eventsā€¦

Bauchanā€¦sigh. Why is he not at least a 4*? His special is totally overpowered for a 3* (and probably for a 4* also being a li xiu plus Ariel minus healing). 4*'s are the lifeblood of the game and there are no new 4* heroes in challenge events? That wouldā€™ve had me excited about new challenge event summons as 4*'s are actually possible to get and worth keeping whereas 5*'s are a dream only available to the lucky few or extremely rich, of which I am neither, and 3*'s are ā€œcuteā€ to keep around and eat up roster slots for raid tournaments but not enough power for war or raids otherwise. Only introducing 3*'s and 5*'s is a really good strategy to have players tap out due to hitting a limit of reasonable growth. I have all the S1 and S2 4* heroes, most at 3-60, and am quite sick of pulling more of them while shooting for 5*'s (and usually failing, I only have 9 with several being not of sufficient quality to spend 4* AMā€™s on). Make Bauchan have 4* stats, eliminate his damage and Iā€™d still want him for war teams at average mana speed. And for goodness sake, please make him purple so there can be at least one of each color in each challenge event! Or- make Black Knight darker by making him purple (and adjust his special for yellow accordingly)!Forgot about Merlin who is Dark, looks like all five colors are Represented in Avalon, hope other Challenge events follow.

I want to choose myself on which event I want to use the tokens. When I have less luck on a specific event it would limit my changes to summon for this Event. It is way better to have it as a multi event token.

Of course it will be. There always have been clips showing exactly this. You may have to nuke some bosses during the higher stages.

Love the changes! The emblem raise alone got my attention! :wink:

Letā€™s see how random those special chests are and how much they will influence the final score. Could imagine top players restarting the stages over and over again until one of those will appear on top of a much desired good boardā€¦

As for bauchan, yes he is quite impressive but I would rather decrease his mana cut to 10 than changing his 24% mana boost to him and nearby heroes onlyā€¦ But he might as well need both nerfes :sweat_smile:

If he stays like this he will be awarded with emblems and I will take him to war :grin: heā€™s definitely a great hero

The first events I completed in legendary were mostly of 4*, and without emblems! Even now that I have a fine 5* roster, there is a couple of 4* that are more useful. Before all this mono+crafts craze, there was a detailed study of each hero possibilities, and creating such a team was a pleasure. So, it can be done, most certainly it can.

So they are adding yet another random variable to your ability to get a high scoreā€¦smh.

Closest comparison. This is power creep. Old 3 and 4 stars need to be tuned up. But they canā€™t monetize it as much so Iā€™m not counting on it.

Nice effort from small Giant, when may this be approved

Iā€™m really looking forward to the new heroes of Avalon and the family bonus. Hopefully have some luck getting the Black Knight dude and the op 3* guy.

Your comparison shows clearly how OP Bauchan is.

While itā€™s awesome that we get new 3* heroes, they shouldnā€™t be so much stronger than regular ones.
If his damage were reduced to, letā€™s say, 110 %, he would still be considerably better than Carver, but at least his damage would not be devastating for a medium mana 3*.

Muggy can get into wars on thin rosters and make a positive contribution at times.

Muggy has shown up in every war Iā€™ve been in since I maxed him. Hisan, too.

Also, if top 1000 in rare gets a 4* ascension mat I may have to get competitive with them.
