Crush the Lord of Light for Soul Fragments to earn a guaranteed 4⭐ character!

From now until January 23rd, 4 PM PT, each battle in the Lord of Light dungeons has a chance of dropping Gunner Caria Soul Fragments. Collect 200 and you can redeem them in the Book of Souls’ Fragments screen for your very own 4⭐Caria, Woman in Uniform!

Caria, Woman in Uniform joins the cast as a new 4⭐Gunner in Legacy of the Beast. Caria never leaps into combat without making all necessary preparations. She automatically starts with full Power and Fury, and gains Perfect Trap for the duration of battle. She is also able to remove Shield and invincibility effects, and inflict Perfect Death and Heal Block to enemies!

Normally, when the fragments drop, you’ll earn 5 or 10 fragments, but if you’re lucky, you could earn 50 fragments from one battle, so don’t be afraid of that 200 requirement! Additionally, you can earn as many Gunner Caria Souls as you can collect the fragments for, so feel free to grab some extras for your next big Sacrifice!

This Fragment event will also feature 3 Event Challenges that will reward various Frontier Key Souls, XP Shards + MORE.

Grab an additional boost of Gunner Caria Soul Fragments to trade for more items in the Event Store. This Fragment Mega Pack also contains Talisman Soul Fragments, Frontier Coins, Ironite and more!
Various talisman packs are also available that work well with Caria, Woman in Uniform, including Light Talismans, as well as a T2 Gold Cosmic Talisman with a Dominance Set Effect!


Light Talismans are yellow Talismans with a 5 set effect. Equip them to grant Grant Perfect Immortality to all allies every turn for 1 turn. These Talismans also permanently increase a random defensive stat on each ally by 1% whenever you take damage and will heal you for 50% of your MISSING HP when taking damage while below 50% HP.

Please note that after the conclusion of this event, collecting more Gunner Caria, Woman in Uniform will not be possible, but any extras you have can be converted to Precious Soul Fragments. Additionally, this character is not available in any other souls, so if you miss your chance to recruit her, it may be a very long time until you get another chance!

Nice, she looks good!

I might have missed it, but is there an increased frag drop rate in the LoL Frontier Dungeon again this time?


I'm increasingly concerned with how grindy these events are becoming though. It's good that newer players can still get a good character without too much difficulty, the natural sot refreshes were usually enough for me to get them in the past. But all these new and expensive things you've been adding lately is diluting things. Wonderful to have another chance at Vipers and the Cyborg Cosmic, but three days of non-stop grinding, for non-guaranteed drops, is a big ask. Please don't over do it.

And I know it'll be more difficult for you to work out rewards, but could you split up the 2,500 frag spending stretch goal into 10x 250? Huge gap between the two. Really liked how you did that in the Powerslave Frontier launch event, with all the little goals working together.

The relation between the fragments drop rate and cost of the items in store, and the fact that this is a 2 days event, is absolutely ridiculous.

I got 15 Caria frags with a full refill.

The LoL Frontier Dungeon has increased chances of frag drops (Floor XI to XV) compared to Floor X and below.
Also in terms of quantity Floor I to X drop 5, 10, or 50 compared to Floor XI to XV which drop 10, 20, or 50 fragments for character event fragments.

Awesome, thanks Ruby!

Will use this as an excuse to pop a couple of LoL Keys:D

Why is she named Caria? Is that just a name made up by the developers or is it related to the song or one of the girls with Eddie on the original album cover? It’s one of my favorite songs and there are specific names in the song, but not this one. So I’m curious.

This!

Also, did the servers just do a reboot? I got kicked with a MACL11 and said I had to restart....

Was wondering about that when January's events were revealed. There are some differences in the lyrics between the original song and Maiden's cover, but neither mentions a Caria. Didn't have much luck googling either, other than the name of a place in Ancient Greece. Will be interesting to learn the names of the other characters in the cycle, to see if there are any patterns.

...but..... 8 SOT vs 35 SOT You'll get 6 times more runs in on LOLX...that 6 times the chance for 50 frags... so... it's a user's call :) Every run does not drop frags.. it's random. If every run did drop frags, then sure LOL XV.

Anyway you can get enough frags for the toon by running your troopers in X. Personally I needed to grind XV anyway, but 2,500 frags worth is ridiculously excessive of a next step after 250. Think I'll stop at the 3 Powerslave keys.

If there were some intermediate steps I would be in XV all day tomorrow, but no way I'm putting out the SoT to hit 2,500, so why bother?

This character seems worth the ‘grind’

Ydex

You can get the character in one run of troopers in X. That's it, there isn't a grind-- its ridiculously easy... and then, there's nothing else to do but spend like 2k ironite to get 3 Eternal keys.

Nice toon, nice event, but yes, I agree that the things to buy are extremely expensive, if you need a set of vipers, you need to spend 1500 fragments!! that's crazy, not to mention the Cyborg Cosmic Talis...
Anyway, I will try to get the toon and 2 or 3 vipers and will have to wait to get them in the future again.

Yup

It's not that bad really...

loaded up 2 mega-refills.. let it grind LOL X.... Roughly 1200 frags ... got the character and 3 Vipers...

loaded 2 mega-refills .. let it grind LOL XV..... Roughly 500 frags. But, also get the awakening frags and the absolution/resolution frags and awakening materials.. so it's a trade off.

But if you're only seeking Caria frags.. LOL X seems to be the better grind.

Yeah, seems nice and easy to get her at least. Not sure I can be bothered with the rest of it, although I do need to grind XV in any case I suppose so I will see where it goes. Do not really need more vipers but it cant hurt to get another set I suppose.

I think its worth throwing a mega refill at. Toon seems like a good one and I only need 1 viper to finish a set. If I get anymore toons Ill toss em in the pit next sac event.

Spent 720 SoT and grinded LoL XV for 350 frags. Had to restart the game 4 times because it hanged so 140 SoT went wasted.

I'll switch to LoL X to see the frags there, but I believe they will be in line with what Yup stated.

I've done 1240 SoT on LoL X for only 630 frags.

Given Yup's results, I seem to be off by 100%. Dunno if they've tweaked the drop rates in the meantime, but it feels bad.

I have Cyborg cosmic and Viper, so I won't grind. Another set (on BHE) of both would come nice though.

She is a decent character. For a 4 star she hits well and has enough defenses to keep her alive a while. The heal block is nice... I ran her through the Labyrinth dungeon a couple times. She held her own. but was not as useful against FIE at the end and losses occurred... so switched her out for G LOL again.

Beddie

She’s probably one for the Gauntlet and some event missions

I mean she’s a gunner class and she’s called Caria

Yes, you're right!! this morning the drop rate looked like poor, but then it got much better, I almost have enough for the toon, and haven't played the whole megarefill yet.
I will give it 2 or 3 megarefills more, since I need 4 vipers (only have one!) and a lot of "awakeningware".

Madrik
01-22-2020, 06:52 PM
I’ve just got her, used one mega refill on lol x, and drop rate wasn’t bad 3 lol keys, 3 50 frag drops the rest in 10’s and 5’s so still got some SoT left, got the light tali set but it’s not much use to her so will just use that on another gunner, she needs a blend of atk and magic to be of any real use tbh

The light talisman can be very useful. It gives perfect immortality to all allies each round. It can be put on someone who isnt the strongest but gives good buffs. It can be very annoying if you are not prepared for it.

Like someone with the blocker passive

She doesn't get full Fury in Arena/Gauntlet battles. Is this intended on purpose or is it a bug?

I noticed the same thing. Tested Caria in arena today and she only gives about 3/4 bar of fury. Full power, but fury always falls short if my team goes first. If my team goes second she seems to give the full fury bar. Repeatable. Happens every time. Caria's passive is not working as written in Arena.

Madrik
01-23-2020, 06:30 PM
Not tried her in arena yet, but doesn’t always work anyway, neither does the light tali set doesn’t heal allies most of the time, defo think there’s a bug
