I don’t consider the frequency to be that high right now
I also would gladly burn through battle items to get the aethers if needed
I remember hearing an argument that for early players, they should spend the 75 gems on rare quests to revive because 75 gems for a four star ascension mat is much better than any other offer you can buy.
I went for tile damage and minions
Yes Uraeus and Joon do give double snipes to one hero, but that’s not what I found to be the “key” to winning.
I have Chao with 18 emblems (no costume) and Leo (0 emblems). I didn’t use either.
If you completed this time, I don’t see a reason to limit break just for the event. Seems like you already have a strategy that works.
I would not emblem for an event that comes around once every six months.
When the rush war with no darks happened I considered embleming Kailani because she would be a good tank. Then I realized it’s not worth embleming her just for one tournament 1-2 times a year. I have 1260 cleric emblems too.
