I liked the first challenge and this could be interesting but the āuse it and lose itā nature of the Tavern makes this a bit more of a gamble than last time. Especially with unleveled low star heroes, ie: paper tigers.
Just genuinely curious, how did testing go pre-announcement? What was your subjective assessment of difficulty? Easier/harder than expected?
I do have a list of potential challenges. Iām open for suggestions on others too.
One of the challenges with these events is not being too restrictive. I was originally thinking an all 2* team so I tried it last event and had to use a good number of items to survive. Itās not the mob levels, but the boss.
Noting the āone-shotā nature and this wasnāt tested in beta, there wasnāt much testing, which is why I try to err on the easier side. I also want it open to more players.
Personally, Iām skeptical that unlevelled heroes will take the needed hit. You can always use a lot of items, but I find it more fun not doing it that way unless absolutely needed.
Iām thinking 3-3* and a 2*, all fully leveled, is the ticket. I think a 3* on ascension 1 could work too, but theyād more so be for color stacking and survival
of the other heroes.
Another factor - we donāt k ow who the boss will be.
Another thing. I think some players may be able to get higher if they use less than 5 heroes on the earlier levels. I was hoping this challenge event would open that concept up to some people.
Donāt worry, my strongest team always become backup team in case I fail a stage. As of now, they never participate in Taverns of Legends because I never fail a stage. Besides, Tyr is a hero I recently got so this will be his debut.
This is interesting and something I know I had never considered. Could be opening a brave new world lol.
Yeah, Iām sure itās tough to find that balance, and if it takes a few tries weāre not necessarily boned for later stages since theyāre probably lower heroes lost. Should be a good challenge.
Yeah, that was kinda my deduction too, especially since it would take some time to chip away at two 2900 hp bosses without any real oomph behind my hits. Some of the suggestions with unleveled heroes just got me wondering how that could be possible, iirc stage 3 was hitting pretty good on maxed 3* last time. Think Iām gonna stick with maxxed extras too.
Has been interesting seeing peoples thought processes on this. Iād considered using my unlevelled Baldur with Brienne and health pots but chickened out.
Sorry you missed it. We knew that was a risk with this one. We tried out best to bump the topic so people would see it, but not surprised we didnāt get all. Look for future challenges.
Awww I rush-finished the tournament before seeing this thread (was deprived from the forums)! Can I get a consolation entry for still making it with TP 1858 (2 items used)? Minor mana pot, maybe?
