This thread is to provide early insights and discussion on the new “Slayers of Fell Shadows” Challenge Event
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.
New Slayers of Fell Shadows Heroes
A new challenge event = new heroes…

Slayers of Fell Shadows in Challenge Event
As with the Villains & Starfall heroes, the Slayer heroes have a bonus when they are used in the Slayers of Fell Shadows challenge event.
Specifically:
- Heroes of the Slayers family bypass the Elemental Barriers, and have increased attack, defense, and health (+20%) in this Challenge Event’s stages
Some Notes:
- This bonus ONLY applies to Slayers Family Heroes IN the Slayers Event.
- It is NOT limited to Unique heroes only… Any and all Slayer heroes gain the bonus stat boost.
Special Gameplay
A new Event effect added to Slayers if Fell Shadows is this:
Old description
Each time you use an item or a Special Skill, the Rage of Enemies grows, increasing their damage!When the Rage is at its peak all enemies recover health and all their status ailments are cleansed at the beginning of their turn.The Rage dwindles when you don’t use items or Special Skills during your turn, The backwards arrow indicates that the Rage is about dwindle.
New description
- In the Slayers of Fell Shadows event your actions can enrage the enemies! The Rage of the enemies grows every time you use a Special skill or a Battle Item,
- Enemies deal increased damage based on the amount of the Rage they have: The more Rage they have, the more damage they deal!
- While enemies have Max Rage
- all enemies receive 50% less damage
- your Battle Items deal 50% less damage
- all status ailments of the enemies are cleansed at the beginning of their turn
- The Rage will be reduced if you don’t us any Special Skills or Battle Items during your turn.
This is not mentioned in the description, but here are my notes about these:
- The damage is increasing with 15% each time when you use a Battle item or Special skill.
- The “peak (maximum) of the Rage” is 75%
and about 10% health is recovered for the enemies at this point at the end of the enemies turn

Challenge Coins
The “Slayers iof Fell Shadows” makes use of the existing Challenge Event Coins currancy for summoning. It also features the Suspicious Chest’s as a rare & random monster which drops 1x Challenge Coin as bonus loot.
The premise of Suspicious Chests appears to be similar to the concept of Orichalcum Seadragons appearing at random during Atlantis Rises and dropping Atlantis Coins, which can then be used for Summons. One difference is that in initial testing, it appears that Suspicious Chests only drop a single Challenge Coin — but you only need 10 of them for a Summon, not 100.
