I hate to be this person since i know this forum has been advocating for making sure the newer heroes arenāt so completely OP, buttttttt does anyone feel like all the Villains kind of suck (besides their base stats) ?
I read through all of their abilities and none of them jumped out as anything i really wanted on my team. The only ones that seem somewhat appealing are toxicandra and chrysalis.
Also, minor thing but why the ā ā ā ā does TOXICandra not have the toxic ability the other villain has??
Holy crap! I would highly advise you go buy some lotto tickets with this luck going on! Or maybe not since you just used up all your luck on this?? Hahah
Idk about Dark Lord. He still seems a bit meh. He seems like 50% sniper and 50% control hero.
Like he is not strong enough to be a sniper but heās a weak sniper with some control abilities
Heās not a strong control hero but heās a weak control hero with a little bit of fire power on him.
I guess he would be helpful for people without a deep bench and need versatility but i donāt really see him in high level play as many other heroes fill the role he would fill better
Rare 2 is clearly better for XP (not that 8-7 is the best xp per flag map stage). Itās clearly inferior in food, iron, monsters, and recruits. I have not made any conclusions so far on crafting or ascension items.
I think Iāll keep using Rare-2 to fill the chest and farm when I have extra world energy. If we count each chest as 30 gems (10 coins to do a pull worth 300 summons) then itās probably worth it to keep farming just to get those coins.
I think that if I had to choose between the heroes of this events, Iād go with Toxicandra as well. Apart from Grazul and lady Wollerton, there arenāt more fast healers (if Iām not wrong).
Regarding Chrystalis, I remember that @Ruskin505 said in the thread about her that she was quite similar to Vela, who I still like even with the nerf.
And yes, itās ironic that someone with toxic in her name doesnāt make any corrosive damage.
I agree with you regarding the heroes. After reading them this morning, my first thought was, I must be missing somethingā¦ Most of these do not seem that good. The corrosive effects only last 3 turns, and losing 10% per turn? Iād rather just fire someone off to lower by 34%-44% for 4 turns. Or, shortening the length of buffs by 1 turn? Iād rather just dispel the buffs entirely. The only thing I can see the buff shortening working on better than dispelling is elemental links.
Personally, I think Toxicandra is the only one worth leveling out of the 5*. Maybe Karnov if you are at a point where you can afford niche heroes. Otherwise, all of these heroes are just a pass for me.
Iām glad you said that. Helps to resist temptation. Iām a sucker for a gorgeous looking card, but sometimes you actually want some performance out of them. Sighā¦
Pretty happy with rare performance, but I have no idea how this compares to usual challenge events. Iāll fill out Epic and Legendary later as I complete them.

The only chest Iāve seen has been on stage 6, but that slowed me down a bit more than helped there.
Eeeehhhh I donāt like the designs / artwork of most the villains. The fact 4 of them are recycled assets is kindaā¦lazy? Lame? I dunno, I suppose it makes sense for the Dark Lord to bring his posse with him, but Iāve seen those characters so much that they just donāt excite me.
Kinda sucks that their avatars are only for people on the top level, as if the heroes and ascension mats werenāt enough.
If there is a challenge ongoing, they should add all new avatars to gem store so that everyone would be able to get them. Why limiting something so basic as avatar for winners only ???
Huge bummer
Event itself is fine, Iām happy there is less stages, just wished rewards were betterā¦
Also disappointed about that. I like farming those for challenge coins. I like that it only takes one energy and since those wretched chests are so rare, that 1 energy cost really helped.
So underwhelmed with this event and these heroes. The art ranges from ok to terrible (looking at you Edd!), and it just feels like they rushed the whole thing out.
I did one 10 pull and donāt plan on doing anything else.
