🧪 The Beta Beat (v27) – Season 3 Heroes, Provinces & Gameplay, Valhalla Summon Portal; Mar/Apr HOTM – Sharing the Big Picture on What's Going on in Beta

Agree. But Man… so much patience is required to wait for the hero to reach full mana… at raids it’s worst, unless it has a tank role.

I would be more for power reduction and increased speed. :wink:

Beta Update

Beta has reopened, with the return of the Season 3 Heroes, as well as the introduction of the first Season 3 Provinces and gameplay.

@DaveCozy has offered to update the Season 3 Heroes and the upcoming HOTM threads (Telluria and Malosi) with the balance changes in this Beta, so those will come as he completes them.

In the meantime, I’ve added a new thread for the Season 3 Province & Gameplay (also linked in the top post of this thread for easy reference):

Doesn’t this give you hope that those amazing suggestions in the “New ascension mats for s3 heroes” thread might be implemented someday too? :rofl:

“Counter attacker’s base damage can’t be higher than the defender’s current health.”

What does this exactly mean? Can anybody describe it with an example?

Your Aife does 1000 damage to my Boril. Currently, your Aife would take 1250 damage no matter what.

AFter the change, because my Boril only has 15 hp, your Aife will only take 15 damage.

Don’t quote me on this, this is just what I understand from @zephyr1’s posts.

Moderator’s Note

I asked the Small Giant Staff a few common questions about Season 3, and got back answers:

How long will the Season 3 Valhalla Summon Portal be open each month?

The Valhalla Portal will be open from Thursday 7am UTC until Sunday 7pm UTC.

The first Valhalla Portal will be open from 2020-02-27T07:00:00Z until 2020-03-01T19:00:00Z


The announcement says, “Available Season III Legendary heroes change each month” and the Release Notes day, “The available Season III Legendary Heroes, as well as the available Heroes of The Month, change each month” — we know there will be new Legendary Heroes coming, but does this just mean new ones will be added each month, or does it mean that they’ll be rotated, and some available this month won’t be available next month?

New Featured Legendary Heroes will be added each month, and the old featured ones will be added to the pool.


Can you confirm that Valhalla Coins are available only from completing Season 3 Stages? (i.e. they’re not in loot anywhere)

Currently, that is the plan, but it’s still being discussed.

Whenever I see that sentence (albeit that I’ve seen that post many times) I sit up straight and hope to see they decided to fix Atomos, Mok-arr, Thoth & Margaret. Throw JF into that list too. Somehow I always end up with all the junk 5* heroes. Allas, it’s only S3 tweaks. Crawling back under the blanket now, call me when something changes :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
