🎭 [Feb 17, 2020] Costume Event – The Masquerade – FAQ, Discussion & Summoning Results

To be fair, 7 pulls is hardly enough to statistically expect a better result.

Got pretty lucky this time. Already had 16 keys in inventory and my first 4 pulls were all 4*: Sonya, Rigard, Li Xiu, Tiburtus (Really happy about this one!)

Except for Rigard I didn’t have any of those costumes before. Still the double Rigard was fine. I used him to power level my Rigard costume just 15min before the raid tournament began and put him defense last minute.

I spent a few gems to do a few more pulls and also got Melendor, a second Skittleskull and a few 3* duplicates.

May Khagan wait forever! I would max Ares or Jean first. Then Grazul, then Elena. And Khagan never.

@udee On the contrary, it is actually beneficial to have the enemy with spirit link as it will spread a sniper’s high damage to everyone. And the damage from AoE hits do stack up even though it looks small. That is how I beat epic 15 on Avalon no problem this month on my main with 4 passive heroes and one sniper. Granted it can be a double edged sword if your board goes south. But with smart play, it can be a force to be rekoned with. Gunnar is a mini Wilbur. Cause his original does his team while his costume does the opposing team. I was gonna have to use him until Wilbur showed up.

Don’t use him in Avalon cause blue is reflected. I used Wilbur but case was made since their skills are similar. Costumed just has the defense down and shared damage.

Precisely. There is no reason to keep dupes on costumes.

the only reason would be for the tiny tiny bit of hope of some players that HA might also allow costume rerolling

What’s the best part of Lianna costume? Will anything survive her hit for the mana slow to do its thing?

Would give you the hero and costume for just Viv costume. I know I shouldn’t complain from 7 key pulls, 3 singles and 20 pulls.

Also got Elena costume but doubt it’ll ever be used just like Horighal’s.

Depends largely on when.

If you’re using her in a raid with Evelyn then no.

If you’re using her as a finisher in raids, again then no.

Of you’re using her against bosses who have very high HP (e.g. costume quest, event quests etc…) Then they will survive & the mana slow can be handy

Also if you’re using her as an off-colour in a stack (3-2 or 4-1) the mana slow can be handy too.

Personally I’ve mainly been using the costume version since maxing it because the damage from the special is still insane but I have the insurance of the mana slow if it doesn’t kill the enemy.

Best part of the Lianna costume, I think, is how leveling it gives a sizable stat boost to her base form who was already the hardest hitter in the game. Then a 5% mana gen boost too…makes her a top costume IMO.

And as mentioned, you can swap to costume form for higher enemy HP situations. Having both available is such a powerful versatility

Guvs Costume Challenge

Last Time

[Apparently didnt screenshot… oops]

This Time

Used three different teams in this costume event… For the first couple stages I used this farming team:

For stages 4&5 I used a rainbow farming team:

And for the final stage I used the following team:

Battle

Autoplay sorted out stages 1-4. Played 5 with the rainbow farm team and also stage 6.

Battle was pretty straightforward. Used a couple axes (didn’t need then necessarily due to Arthur and Alice) and one health pot along the way.

Essentially went into the final boss stage with specials charged and a heal of blue tiles on the board. Then just lined Elena and Vivica up with the blue and purple tiles. Then came back round to finish off Issy…

Rewards & Summons

Posted my summons up here earlier:

Used my final costume summons from earned keys to get the below pull. Was hopeful cause it started yellow but then… Not Vivica :cry:

In other news:

Partially due to the lack of Vivica after so long but also (mainly) because I have well & truely gotten enough heroes to keep me busy for a long long time…

Nice post, thanks. So wait, how was Lianna costume new to you but you fought the stages with her costume? Lol

Summoned & levelled her before doing the chamber stages :slight_smile:

Must be nice. It’ll take me like 4 weeks lol. Have to level base form too as she’s completely new to me. Very excited to use her though. What’re your thoughts on costume version vs costume bonus version?

I’m honesty I’ve really only been using the costume version as (when I raid with her) I tend to do it in a green heavy DoT team so she’s the lone sniper/ damage dealer…

Events/ difficult bosses the mana debuff is more valuable than the extra little bit of damages

What’s the raid team you use her in?

This team :slight_smile:

Specialises in killing Aegir lol… Am like 99% win rate vs. aegir tanks.
