FAQ

Fiends??

Popped up a couple times so I will summarise a bit:

Fiends are like Minions but different.
They occupy a minion “slot” on the recieving hero.
They are not able to be damaged/ removed by any hero specials (yet) such as by Grimble, Bera, Gobbler, Costume Gormek etc…
They also do NOT trigger Noor’s innate ability
They are NOT affected / blocked by Vela’s innate resistance
They are ONLY affected when the hero special SPECIFICALLY mentions “Fiends” (such as Uraeus).
The only way (currently) to remove/ get rid of Fiends is to:
- provide the requisite quantity of healing; or
- displace them with more minions

If you have additional questions, please submit them below.

Underwild Coins

The first time a Stage is completed, a reward is given in Underwild Coins — which are just like Atlantis/ Valhalla Coins, but for Season 4.

Just the same as Season 2 & 3, Normal Mode Stages reward 3 Underwild Coins, and Hard Mode Stages reward 5 Underwild Coins — and there are 10 Stages per Province, so it’ll be the same 80 Coins per Province that Season 2 & 3 had.

Also like Atlantis/ Valhalla Coins, 100 Underwild Coins are required for a free Underwild Summon.

Biomes

New to Season 4 is a “Biome” effect which applies to every stage in Season 4 Map (so far).

The Biome Effect has two parts;

a passive ability for all enemies in that biome
a status effect/s given every 5 turns to your heroes.

Biome effects are just like normal cleansable Status Effects. So they can be blocked by an Ailment Blocker (e.g. Grazul, Garnet or Vanda) and can be dispensed of by a cleanser (e.g. Rigard or Ariel).

Hi @Guvnor

Stupid question, but what happened to Russula?

I probably missed it…

Thanks in advance

Kerrang

Guvnor · March 25, 2021, 3:39am

Not included in this release:

Kerrang · March 25, 2021, 3:45am

Thanks @Guvnor

I ran out of “likes”

Gorann · March 25, 2021, 8:27am

May I just say how much I like the little icon identifying s4 threads? I’m sure it’s just a stock one but it’s a great choice. Gives me a chuckle.

Guvnor · March 25, 2021, 8:29am

Yeah it’s a stock one but I figure that “underwild” was close to “undercover” so went with the Spy style haha

rho · March 25, 2021, 8:31am

Not sure where to post this but I can confirm that Garnet’s ailment block DOES apply to the biome effects. So by extension Grazul’s must work too (and Gato’s if you want to use him for some reason )

Gorann · March 25, 2021, 8:32am

And sneaking through caverns. Also reminiscent of the Invisible Man (Griffin).

Guvnor · March 25, 2021, 8:32am

Correct, they are still an ailment. Grazul/ Garnet/ Vanda/ Gato all block the application of AILMENTS… Irrespective of the source

Cheds · March 25, 2021, 8:57am

First things first that new map looks awesome. Genuinely stunning.

I love the Journey to the centre of the world vibe with this and the way it gets deeper. I’m in love.

I’m not getting in the OPness of new heroes, that’s for a different day. I just want to applaud SGG on making a cool looking new thing for us to play.

I tip my top hat to you

Tidyup · March 25, 2021, 9:34am

Me seeing the biome gimmick: oh, something to artificially increase the difficulty of your stages. That’s cute, my guardian chameleon says hi

Altius_Virgule · March 25, 2021, 9:47am

There’s another picture floating around to promote Season 4, much like the one at the top of this thread, but it has one major difference I am very curious about. Who is the redheaded woman holding the golden skull idol? I am familiar with the heroes that were released today as well as the artwork of all those who were not, and there are four Legendary females yet to be published (Aouda, Garjammal, Russula, & Zenobia) and the redhead is none of them, so who is she? Mrs. Indiana Jones?

Photon · March 25, 2021, 9:58am

I can see the red head being Zenobia.

Question: Do the Fiends count as minions or no?

Guvnor · March 25, 2021, 9:59am

Yes. But no.

Yes they take up a minion slot on the hero. But No they do not count as a minion in every other regard (they don’t take damage, they aren’t affected by a “minion” hero such as Grimble)

Photon · March 25, 2021, 11:02am

I had feeling that would be it. Appreciate it Guvnor

leejow · March 25, 2021, 11:12am

So due to the dome you’re not able to get the boost attack from Black Knight I noticed. It’s an different effect in my opinion and should just stack like it always does

Altius_Virgule · March 25, 2021, 11:38am

Definitely not Zenobia.

CurtWilde · March 25, 2021, 12:03pm

Can someone clarify something for me please…
On the first province all Holy and Dark heroes have effects applied every 5 turns…that last 5 turns…and that can’t be removed. Wouldn’t it be easier to just remove the 5 turns from the wording considering the effects are permanent anyway? Or am I missing something?

rilian · March 25, 2021, 12:04pm

It is vs Gazelle owners. So, after dance ends, effects will be back)

rilian · March 25, 2021, 12:04pm

How many provinces are opened?
