šŸŽ­ [MASTER] Updated Costume Event ā€“ The Masquerade ā€“ FAQ, Discussion & Summoning Results

OMG, not just C Gormek, but also C Kiril! I did gem pull after hardly earned 350 gems and I finally got C Kiril too! For quite some time I wasnā€™t doing any single gem pulls, but this one paid off.

So itā€™s only Caedmon, Scarlett and Wu from 4* costumes missing excluding the new Kelileā€™s costume.

As there are request and several discussion about the event being to hard, and there are request for a topic like what I had for Gargolyles I have added a similar topic for this event too:

I did about 60 summons, not the one I really wanted but Iā€™m very happy. On my final summon a 5* arrived. :star_struck:

I beat the event and, truthfully, I liked it. It is admittedly not perfect though. The biggest con I have is the loot. As others have said, you should get two summons from levels 1-10. Levels 11-15 should be harder and ā€œbonusā€. I do think newer players should get the two free pulls per event. The trainer heroes are not an adequate pay off IMO.

This is significantly harder than the previous version. That being said, I still think CoK and some newer stuff is harder than this. I think what makes it seem so bad is comparing it to the previous masquerade. When compared to the other newer events, itā€™s on par.

There definitely need to be things that challenge deep rosters and veteran players. I enjoyed having to think a bit and not auto play. That does mean there will be content that not every player can beat. That should be the case though. Whatā€™s the point of the latest and greatest, not that I have that, if you only ever auto play with them? This is coming from a 4 year F2P.

Even if it means I canā€™t beat everything, I want to be challenged still. I think it was challenging enough, while still accommodating plenty of different ways to beat it.

Anyways, here is my team and the final stage (Glenda putting on the finishing touch):


I donā€™t normally mono, but tried it for this. It is admittedly a stacked team in terms of emblems, etc. all the elemental links of Raffaele, Glenda, and Athena played perfectly. Azmiaā€™s passive kicks in enough to make the difference. Azmia was probably MVP. Raffaele is a monster though. Azlar would be my biggest pain, so aside from blue being probably my strongest color it also made Azlar a non factor.

No mana control aside from time stops (time freezes on 15) were enough. Otherwise aside from some mana pots and bombs I didnā€™t use much else. I donā€™t think I drained an item on any stage aside from bombs on 15. That was because the boards were not blue friendly at first and had to make accommodations. I would hardly call it an item heavy event though.

Athena did die on 13, but it was so late in the match it didnā€™t matter. I think two people died from a hit again on 14, but same situation. I made through 15 clean.

4 pulls netted me 2 4* dupes, a 3* dupe, and new Jahangir. I got a bonus chest which was kind of lame:

If blue stopped working I had some back up teams that were SUPER grindy. Would have won, but taken forever. I was trying to avoid that. Keys left me 1 short of a 5th summon. :man_shrugging:

Anyways, I am mostly a fan and will play it next time. I definitely think the loot structure should change though.

Good luck to those still going on at. If you need help I am sure someone in the FTP Rebellion page can chime in if you post your roster.

:beers:

I just finish the event. It is hard and I really have to use the battle item. I have to use about 5 minor mana pot to finish the last stage. In the old costume event, I actually use auto-run to finish the whole event. But the new one is too hard for auto-run and really force me to use some the battle item.

My team auto-run is C Ariel, WIlbur, Mielikki, Kara, Frosth. It is Overheal + Share Damage + Minion + Atk Down + Taunt + Moderate & Small Mana over turn. I also use this team to auto-run S5 hard and finish S4 last stage (Replace Kara with Noor for S4 last stage) :sweat_smile:.

The hardest stage for me is actually stage 14. C Azlar costume bossā€™s burn deal 2758 damage in 2 turn that canā€™t be cleansed. I have to use 2 Timestops to stop the C Azlar boss.

I wish I can auto-run to finish the whole event again :sweat_smile:.

Annoyingly hard and no rewards.
I stopped after stage 11.

Would be a great improvement for next time, if everybody gets to chose which version of this event to do: either the old event or the new event

Stopped at stage 10.

Donā€™t worthy the resources wasted compared to the poor rewards.

The costume event was almost over so I did a few pulls with the keys I had saved.
4 pulls and 3 5*. I thought my heart would stop.

Btw, itā€™s the first time I got Vivica after playing for about 2 and a half years.

You are lucky then. Over 50 pulls for me from what i had saved and purchased some, and not even a single new hero, and of course zero 5 stars. This will be my last purchase for this portal. Yes i know nothing is guaranteed, but ill save for something else

I chucked another 5 summons in to get the bonus chest.

5 pull got Obakan (really on the fence thereā€¦but I do really like Isrod & Sifā€¦never thought Iā€™d put Obakan and spending Tabards in the same sentenceā€¦)

And then bonus darts.

I think I shall quit when Iā€™m ahead. Ended up doing 30 pulls in total and have got Viv, Obakan, Grace, Tome of Tactics and Darts.

And yet the search for Alfrike is into the hundredsā€¦.:unamused::unamused:

I feel the exact same way as you, got lucky enough to pull Obakan but the thought of using tabards on him just feels so strange haha. But when I look at his awesome stats, he would probably be a really good tank.

I thought Iā€™d try some more pulls to get Viv, no luck but super happy I landed my first C. Marjana :slight_smile:

I watched level 15 and really the guy got pretty lucky and made some terrible mistakesā€¦including firing off his yellow diamond while Gulli was already charged up.

Still an impressive feat though. Like most have said, you must have a health booster to complete.

Thank you @Elioty33

It seems Staff have indeed reduced the difficulty.

The last stageā€™s difficulty now seems like stage 9 / 10 before the change.

Are the suggested TP changed for stages ?

2 Likes

Its a very positive and welcomed change! It would have been great if they also threw in 5 extra keys.

2 Likes

Yep, the difficulty reduction will be a welcome change :smiley:
They didnā€™t change the advertised suggested TP but itā€™s only an arbitrary value they choose anyway, itā€™s not computed by the game depending on some settings.
And more often than not, you can complete quest stages with teams with 1000 or more TP deficit without a problem with the right synergies and battle items (like I did during the Super Elemental quest hahaha).

Thx, I have just asked it as this adviced TP is usually on the guides.
