Is there any specific thing/strategy or hero (type of hero) to use or not use for these?
Anyone who’s done the beta testing with it, what tips can you give before I rush straight into it tomorrow?

I have two posts from my beta experience. TLDR: classic mana control strategies (proteus) work

Thanks, 5600 TP seems low compared to the ridiculous 7500 for treasure quest. Maybe they should balance the two.

Is that list of heroes complete? That looks great if there isn’t a bunch more filler.

Know the it’s probably just temporary place holder context, but looks like the top of topic is still of copy pasted content from Treasure Quest.

The quest itself was easier than I had anticipated.
Still just bullied my way through :wink:
The 3 earned pulls was nice, ofcourse I pulled nothing more than a dupe HotM :roll_eyes:

You won’t be seeing me very often in this particular portal. Given the odds, it’s just too expensive for me.
Good luck everyone!

Sorry for your bad luck! You’re right, I thought the quest would be more challenging :sweat_smile:

So they are going to keep pushing insanity… huh…

What is up with this portal?
Prices versus % seem very very off what is ‘normal’

I had great expectations, and it turned out to be a very boring Event… I did the penultimate stage using 3* cards (out of curiosity) and passed it without problems:

Now I’m just waiting for WE to be renewed and I’ll fight in the last stage :confused:

There is absolutely no excuse for this portal to be 3900 gems.

Is this normal? It happened at the end of the boss wave so I didn’t have time to check anything, I just took a screenshot.

That’s the charged effect. It transforms your heroes into these abominations for 2 turns and gives you extra boosts in power

This is one of the best things done lately. Nice mechanics actually the game seems to help you finish. Don’t know about that difficulty level, not everything should be hard. Game should be accessible for most players.

If something is very far off from normal, might it be insane?

I think that you are in to something!

(my gems will not disappear into this portal for sure ;))
