It is no secretā¦ For example, a top challenge player as Uclapack, restarts a mission hundreds times until gets the perfect board. I posted this video beforeā¦ Whatch beginning with min. 41
Congratulations @zephyr1.
For me it was rather disapointingā¦ i couldnāt manage to go over 683k in rare.
i did use some flasks but it didnāt work out.
this time i had the heroes (4 x namahae 1 x wabbit) and 2* troops. no emblems, troops not levelled but i think eblems or levelled troops wouldnāt bring me to top 1000 as well.
Meanwhile i just think im simply too slow or unscilled and iām not sure if i should give it another try next time because for me it just feels like wasting battle itmes. i so whish i could have a look over your shoulders / while sitting next to you playing with my heroes, troops, itmes just to see whether it is feasable for me as well to get better or just accept it as a handicap.
It took me a while to get the feel for pacing, and Iām still not that great at it. I find practicing during farming helps a bit.
So you might just need to give yourself more time to practice. 
I posted a few videos last time, which are maybe somewhat useful: š New Fables of Grimforest Challenge Event ā FAQ, Discussion & Summoning Results - #300 by zephyr1
I donāt think Emblems or Troops are at all necessary. They certainly donāt hurt, but they arenāt needed.
This is the first Challenge Event that Iāve had any Emblems on 3* at all, and it was only +3 on Hawkmoon and Rudolph. I put them on for Raid Tournaments more than Challenge Events, and itās only one single attack node on Rudolph between the two of them, so it certainly isnāt impacting damage output by much.
Thanks @zephyr1ā¦
so maybe i give it another tryā¦ Avalon is next right? so mono green i think?
2 x hisan, 1 x berden, 1 x Mnesseus, 1 x Brienne (costum and emblems) and Belith
herowise should be ok right? 5 x 2* troops unlevelled as wellā¦ i think
Kind regards,
Hermann
I think the problem is youāre just not replaying the right stages.
My heroes were not optimal at all, much worse than yours. I made so many mistakes and wasted so much time. Iām not that fast, and Iām not that skilled. This is my first time trying for a challenge event, I ended up rank 500ish, but Iām sure I could have gotten top 100 if I tried.
You donāt need a lot of skill to get top 1000. It must be something else youāre missing.
In terms of skill and pacing, for me the hardest part about challenge events isnāt finding the right combos and making diamonds or whatever.
The hardest part is knowing when to use items, when to use skills, especially when thereās 1 mob with significantly higher hp than the other 2, or thereās only 1 mob left, or when there are 2 mobs with low hp left.
And also the connection between when youāre about to finish off one wave and the next wave, optimizing these points can bring huge improvements for me personally at least.
Does it make a big difference if you Play on your Phone or via the pc?
Did not tried the pc myself yet, but in the videoās it seems they fire items at a very fast paceā¦
Thought about that too. I play on ipad, but when i watch some videos the tiles look far faster than mine. Had perfect boards and carpet bombed etc (battle items also look slower than in some videos i have seen) for not even getting near those crazy top10 stage scores. Or maybe the more you pay, the faster the tiles move 
wait, you can play on pc? i didintā even know that was possible (without an emulator) lol
Called āBluestacksā or so, tried it, but my pc is too old for that!
Thanks for the like @vanZille. Your score was my reference! 
Well, since I already had Jackal and Falcon I was looking for Panther this event but I got Kong. Last pull I did and there was the big monkey.
I knew and know he is not the most popular hero but still happy. A legendary 5* eventhero is always welcome in my roster. Will I give him the rings? I donāt know yet. i have Wilbur, Boldtusk and Falcon so maybe he suits well in my red stack against green titans.
Anyway, time will tell. Thank you SG and RNG for a nice event and a new 5* :-), next stop for a few pulls; Atlantis Rises
Didnāt have any Guardians before this event, so was excited about summoning for Jackal, Falcon or Panther. Did around 18 -19 summons and ended up with the Kong, just like you, and 4 Bats. As my first 5* red he is destined to go 3/70 and wait for a while, without Falcon it is even harder to justify maxing him.
@Oksure Same here, 3/70 for sure. I have 7 rings at the moment but Azlar, Anzogh and Khagan waiting at the bench.
Have Gravy, Grazul maxed with emblems and Ares at 3/70 ( he will not get the rings tbh).
choices choices, a luxury I know 
Youāre welcome.
Yes, Avalon should be next up, now that weāve finally gotten through a round of the revamped Events.
Green is definitely a solid option for Avalon, and is the most natural fit for the monsters. I think Iāve tried red and yellow before too, though. Particularly on the earlier Stages it doesnāt always matter a ton, since mono can do a lot of damage against weak enemies. There are also a fair number of red Bosses. Iāll probably experiment a little.
The mix of green heroes you have is definitely good for building a team for mono green. I think youāll be fine with those.
@Yagster This guide also is great:
Bear in mind that this is using the old Challenge Event difficulty ā I find since the difficulty increased, emblemed heroes and higher leveled troops become more of a necessity for beating the later stages quickly without relying as much on huge combos. But the strategy still remains the same and that guide is still relevant in helping you there.
Thanks,I understand the idea of how to get the best score,Iām more curious about how many and which items do they use,and hero choices.in the updated events.i havenāt seen many videos for the updated ones
That is a great video,I have seen it and used that strategy,I placed 467 in the 3* with minimal items just a mono red n purple team
I would like to see a video like that in the epic and legendary for the updated ones

I canāt speak for epic or legendary myself. I only attempt to compete in Rare because thatās where I have the largest bench depth.
Best heroes to use are those with high attack stats, high damaging and fast skills preferably. Bonus if you include defense down. I noticed in Rare a lot of costumed Gunnar + Namahages or Balthazar duplicates. This was the case for almost all of the top 10 teams ā I had to settle with Gill-Ra myself though my advantage here was that I went with 5 purple instead of a 1-4 stack.
I imagine itās similar for Epic and Legendary though ā I see combos like Wilbur + G. Falcon + Lancelot for Epic Wonderland, and G. Jackal + Joon in Legendary Pirates.
As for Items itās best to go offensive, even in the higher difficulties. Anything that adds damage (such as Axes, Bombs) and anything that can help charge your special skills (mana pots, tornadoes in legendary) are good items. Battle items are very expensive to keep using though, so itās best to save them for a really good run.
That video is for Rare indeed, but you can translate what works in that tier to the higher difficulties. The difference is of course, that resources become more and more expensive in those difficulties ā both in terms of heroes to level up, and in terms of items to craft and hoard.
Ok lol,Right so I guess same idea for the style of play,I think its just I didnāt manage my use of weapons good,Iāll put a screenshot of the team I used.i wonder how many dragon attacks n tornadoes n stuff they prepare in advance
