📦 [Master Discussion] Shadows of the Deep Quest – FAQ & Discussion

I completed with one repeated level due to bad luck with the insanity – my team destroyed itself and couldn’t recover. Just ran my standard farming team, which is close to my strongest rainbow, but not quite.

Drew Gloopy and Februus (who now weakens mega-fiends, but don’t know if that’s enough to level him).

Yeah this was much easier than I was thinking it would be.
I used my defense team which is rainbow.
I did use a few arrow attacks for the mob waves, but other than that very easy.

Vodnik + Cillian for my 2x free pulls.

And I passed the whole quest… Unfortunately, it was not a difficult challenge :confused:

I am too lazy to think about it, what should I use for autofighting? Just anything fast/very fast to get the counters up?

From the cutscenes, it looks like this quest will be in a serial form. We haven’t seen all the Investigators, Cultists, and Elder Ones yet.

For those, who play without music (I usually also), there is a new “soundtrack” during this quest.

Can you beat Ludwig triggering insanity with 5%? :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

I see that dragon healing doesn’t affect the insanity value. Is that expected behaviour? Dragon’s heal is direct.

Somewhere in all these pop up texts it lists exactly, which effects lower insanity and assist Dragons are not on there.

BTW it´s plain silly if I have to read through 3 pop-up books just to play a dumb little event, if you want to call it that, that takes less time to play than it takes to read the instructions…

idiotic insanity effect… Anyway better to have this effect in the event than in the war, if it has to be somewhere.

yeah it’s ridiculous! I honestly just skipped them all and played, and figured things out myself. Most cases it’s easy to see it

They could copy all that text into chatgpt.com and ask the AI to “better write it with less words” and it would be better. Zynga has VERY bad writing editors. They write too much and the information is always messed and misunderstanding. Look at the 3x chance portal too. Lmao.

Well…

The event is fun but the portal is only not worst than Pick Up a Garbage Summon. So it’s probably the 2nd worst of the game RN [not including old and unfinished season portals].

Summon 1 = Treevil, dupe
Summon 2 = Costume Hansel, dupe

This quest should be a sign to everyone that insanity wars aren’t going anywhere. Developers have no intentions of getting rid of that mechanic even though they’ve been told it makes playing their game drastically less fun.

My thoughts about Shadows of the Deep

It is by far the easist event ever developed, the power level for both parts is really low even for new players.
The broken mechanism that counters insanity (which is a broken mechanic by itself) can be easily exploited with some mana potions and tornados.
As usual the summoning odds for me are the worst possible and all I’ve get were Treevil and Goopy.

I really liked the approach on Lovecraft’s folklore: the atmosphere, the gruesome appearance of the heroes and minions, the soundtrack they all fit together really well. This event could/should be transformed into a full season.

One last thing to finish - The new costume for Brogan made me think that Zynga should create a new event - Allmighty Brogan - where we battle against every one of his previous costumes.

I like it too. There were some Lovecraft’s related characters in 4th season (like Strategist from R’lyeh), but I have nothing against seeing them more/again :+1:

Yeah we’ve seen those references since season 1 and I thought the final boss for season 4 would be some Lovecraft inspired interdimensional being, instead we got the disappointing Demi-Moreau

They never put any effort on the game when it’s not about offers so I’m just no impressed at all.

Costume Guardian Gazelle triggering on consecutive casts (with 5% and 15% insanity, respectively) against the boss wave of the next-to-last stage in the quest? I just fled out at that point and restarted it, lol.

I don’t understand the placement of the new shadow heroes in the Hero Roster on the bottom bar. I selected only ORIGIN and Shoggo and Cthuwu are positioned immediately after Season 1 heroes but Zavinia, Rashan and Dolores are at the bottom of the list following Heroes of the Month. Weird since 4 of them are Cultists and 1 is Investigator. Thoughts?

It was much easier than I thought but it’s a tricky quest

Mena and Luna were the MVP as they prevented the enemies from getting full mana most of the time

I liked. So sad I don’t have any insanity hero and couldn’t pull any of them

I did a 10 pull and got „fogg“. He is a legendary Hero, but I didn‘t Receive any bonus pull.
I expected to get 3 additional pulls.

Did I get the given Chances wrong?
