Iām actually annoyed that the S1 pull rate is back to 1.5%. Got domitia because of this, not amused. They need to fix this.

It has always been like that for challenge events.
Is it? I thought all portals dropped to 0.9%
Correct me if Iām wrong.
This event is basically a hunt for that 1.0% chance to stumble on one of the new 5* and more or less everything else you could get in doing so is anything but flashy/can be obtained on other ways.
It appears Zynga have spent a lot of money to acquire SG and donāt expect their mortgage plan to be lengthy.
The epic heroes trainers in an event are awful, thereās no other way to look at it.

Did some pulls, wasnāt too sure on these hero-- i mean, villains! Manages to draw hotm, so i am really happy about that!
I thought that was my āluckā used upā¦ untilā¦
Never had this happen, damn 
Iāll gladly take some villains, Iām glad to have a fast 5* healer <3
As for the challenge event itselfā¦ ohhhh boy! Francine really came in clutch here, sheās the perfect clensing counter for these new DoT effects!

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

No, they are normal. At least Dark Lord, Crystallis and Toxicandra.
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
Pass me your luck please. Save me from this brutal portal!
Only a few portals are down to 0.9% for season 1
Small sample size alert!
I just filled my monster chest on rare-2. I recorded the loot and compared it to [Season 1 8-7] on a per flag basis(Barry Farmz Here -- Comprehensive data driven farming guide for Season 3, Season 2, Season 1, Elemental Chests, Atlantis Rises, Missions, and more)
| Category | Rare 2 | 8-7 |
|---|---|---|
| XP | 540 | 272 |
| Recruits | 1.5 | 3 |
| Monsters | 4 | 4.33 |
| 1* Crafting | 0.83 | 1.107 |
| 2* Crafting | 0.5 | 0.373 |
| 3* Crafting | 0.6 | 0.148 |
| 4* Crafting | 0.5 | 0.039 |
| 1* Ascension | 0.79 | 0.7 |
| 2* Ascension | 0.6 | 0.3 |
| Heroes | 0.5 | 0.167 |
| Troops | 0 | 0.067 |
| Food | 0 | 553 |
| Iron | 0 | 1183 |
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 find them average as well, not OP at all.
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¦
