Earn rare rewards by completing challenges in the Arena!

From now until May 16th at 5 PM PT, there are new event challenges added to the Challenges screen. These reward you for completing specific objectives in the Arena before the event is over. Objectives include winning Arena battles using only Basic Attacks, as well as using specific classes.

Rewards include Chosen Fragments, a variety of Frontier Keys, Iron Coins, Gold, Awakening Shards and more!

Trade Chosen Fragments for Rewards!
Chosen Fragments can be traded for a variety of rewards including Cosmic Valhalla Maiden Talismans Sands of Blood and more!

New Cosmic Valhalla Maiden Talismans can be equipped to any Valhalla Maiden! They will increase all stats in battle, reduce incoming damage and will also reduce the healing of all enemies by 50%. They also give Immunity to Stop and Stun effects to all allies, and will inflict Punishment and Accuracy Down on a random enemy for 2 turns every action.

Since Chosen Fragments are meant to be spent in store they will ‘loop’ if you claim a Chosen Soul (if claimed, a Chosen Soul will simply produce 500 Chosen Fragments, and 1 1* Gold Idol, thus returning the fragments used to create it, and the Gold spent to summon it). If you do not wish to spend these Fragments in store, you can always convert them into Precious Soul Fragments.



Many Eternal Encounter event challenges will also provide Forged Soul Fragments.

Forged Fragments are the event currency of the Forge of Destiny Mega Event.

Trade your Forged Fragments in the Mega Store for rare rewards including Freya Cosmic Talismans and Odin himself!

You can learn more about this Mega event in the Forge of Destiny event post here! (https://forum.ironmaidenlegacy.com/showthread.php?13359-Forge-of-Destiny-Mega-Event-Info-and-Discussion)



**BONUS: For the duration of the Eternal Encounter event, Eternity Soul Fragments you earn from the weekly Arena resets can be traded for Eternity Talismans!

Eternity Talismans are purple talismans with a 5 set effect that is not available anywhere else! Equip a full set for the following effects: Grant Perfect Hit to all allies at the start of battle for 2 turns. Grant Physical, Magic, and True Block to self for 1 turn if Perfect Hit, Regen, or Charge is present at the start of your turn. Remove All Beneficial Effects, including Golden Effects, Stun, and inflict Perfect Disable for 1 turn on a random enemy if Passive Disable is active on any enemy at the start of your turn. Fully heal and removes Doom effects from all enemies if the wearer of this talisman has the Shawl of Styx passive.




Finally, we have a few deals available in the store to help you complete the challenges ahead:

Grab an additional boost of Chosen 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!
Grab our Any Class Power Up Pack! This pack provides Ironite, a bit of gold, 5★ Colourless XP Shards to power up any class of character!
Eternity Relics are purchasable with Gold in the Event Store!

Eternity Relics grant players up to a 50% increase in HP, Attack and Magic stats in the Arena for a limited time. There are two kinds: Eternity Arms (Increase Stats on your Arena Offense Team) and Eternity Armor (Increase Stats on your Arena Defense Team).

Please note: Each Eternity Relic can be purchased twice and will expire 2 weeks after they are purchased (Note: Earning additional levels of these Relics will refresh the timer!). These Relics will not increase stats in the Gauntlet.

Well this is a neat event, but I am curious: what was the original version of this event supposed to entail? Like the one last year?

So the clan's bit was just left on in a copy/paste error? I don't see anything about there being clan challenges except for the clan challenge disclaimer

Hey everyone!

Sorry for any confusion. This is definitely an error on my part in writing this post. I can confirm that there are no Clan Challenges in this event (and there are not meant to be). I'm going in to remove those details from the post now. Cheers!

Yup
05-10-2020, 01:51 AM
Yeah.... does seem like there should have been more. perhaps due to the mistaken store leak it was changed to not reward was was originally intended.

Hah, this could be a rough event! If you want the T3, you'll need 300 WINS. Also worth noting there are FIVE 5* Warrior Awakening Shards for the Special Edition Eternity characters.

Hope to see lots of weak defence teams this week everyone. Best of luck! :)

EDIT: Originally forgot to include the repeatable goals in the Iron Coin total. Have re-uploaded the fixed version.

Yeah, Arena events suck. They incentivize either losing the week before so you can breeze through them or you wind up throwing a bunch of matches during the event so you don't wind up too high on the list where you can't complete any of the challenges that aren't just "Win X battles".

My gauntlet was showing wrong rewards. But after restarting the game, it has come back to normal.
(Everytime I try to edit my post, it gets deleted instead. The mobile version of this site sucks)

Cosmic Fate doesn't register for the achievement.

And it's crashing.... like.. A LOT.... often mid-battle. Normally the arena is pretty crash resistant here.. not now....

What I miss about arena events was that more people used to run weaker defense teams so one could at least achieve most of the challenges without much work. Most of these challenges could be completed in the first few days, if not sooner, if even half of the top 1000 players ran a weaker defense like I do. Arena rewards are shit for the most part besides a bit of ironite, here we actually have some good rewards but its a grind to achieve if no one changes their defense.

Overall the achievements weren't too bad. Would have been a lot easier if more players set fun or easy defenses instead of meta heavy teams. The fact with a little bit of careful team construction and finding a weak defense could mean progress on multiple achievements helped immensely.

I do imagine that those who didn't spend this weekend grinding out those achievements will have a harder time as the event progresses with more and more players switching back to a normal defense once they have hit their goals. I would have loved to get at least 2 of those T3 talismans (with a max of 5 as I assume there will be 5 Valhalla maidens) but I think I'll have to just be content with 1 after 300 runs.

The only things I would have liked to see changed with the event is a switch back to battles instead of wins(let's everyone play arena how they want and doesn't create the animosity towards that players don't update their teams to be weak) and adding event fragments to the challenges that weren't just "win x battles".

Not the worst arena event by far but, for me, has reached the point where it's just a mindless grind with no real skill or challenge.

I have always used a lone Eddie defence ever since I started playing 9 months ago. People with full teams attack me occasionally, but I don't bother revenging them. That will result in my revenge list filled up only with lone Eddies. I don't care about rankings, only iron coins. I have managed to play 80 battles since yesterday and have reached King 4. Should have no problem finishing the event within the stipulated time.

Despite the fact that Arena events are really tedious, this one has a good balance in different things to do and goals (except the 300 wins) 10 / 25 / 30 / 50 are really achievable achievements (?) and they keep you interested. Good job there! The variation and importance of rewards are also good!

About the 300 wins, Iīd rather prefer 150 wins and 300 plays as a better option for the achievement. But well, you canīt have it all :P

Can anyone remember if there is a talisman set that grants cleave?

Yup

I don't think there is.. I could be wrong though.

The Compendium is missing at least two characters that inflict Cleave... Dark Prince Wrath and Assassin Werewolf .. At least when searching by ability.

To 25 and the challenges are basically impossible.... No one running weak defenses.... At least I've got 6 more days to try and get 30 Cleave inflictions.

I've been using a weak defence since Thanksgiving. I never stop below 2800 and end up at 3200 - 3300 by weeks end. I've been battling the same 8 people since then, losing only few due to the system stopping us. I only attract weak teams like mine and we all gain from it. I've not had a real battle in over 4 months. So, a weak defence doesn't hurt your real that bad. I always get the level I'm wanting. Note, I have no desire to reach the top. I'm happy where I am. So this is only good for those who want to maintain a certain level. Enjoy and play the game you want. ��

Hear hear. It made arena events fun when it felt like everyone set aside their egos for a few days and we all helped each other through the challenges. Now they're a drag that just confirms how petty folks are. I can beat a lot of people's strong defense teams -- but not while inflicting cleave with an all assassin team that has to survive. Running a strong defense just makes it harder for other people to get a break. What's the point?

Thor can generate Cleaves like crazy.

Great grinding event. Like usual. For a lame talisman lets waste energy and time for a mere 300 (!!) arena wins. In an arena that is super broken. Thanks devs, we really needed that.

So, now that you fixed the extra turn issue with cosmic lilith, OH WAIT, she gives now turns to the other characters as described in her basic attack description, but even if she has echo x9 she will never get an extra turn. You fixed the issue by breaking a character once again.

The other terrible problem is how Mariner gets passive disabled and Apparition will never trigger to the enemy, and of course the Mariner is not wearing grails or angel talis. When brave talis are on him he never gets any sign of passive disable.

No dear friends at NF, I will not send a support ticket and a screenshot, because I got tired of it.

Stop making arena events a torture and fix it for once!

Brave has nothing to do with it. But this can definitely happen. Before the update, I met a team with Mariner. The alchemist could not block passive, but the moon child did it.
Now Cyborg does not fill the scale completely after fury8336

I honestly don't know if this is the case> I only know that I had an yggdrasyl equipped Mariner, who stood last and I used Moonchild's power move, then alchemist and you name it character that passive disable and he never got a debuff like that. I had to finish it another way. The thing is that passive disable for Mariner in most of the times is seriously bugged, resulting in waste of time. Not to mention that allies escape apparition most of the times Mariner has passive disable icon on him.

A tedious challenge for sure .. almost there!
I don't have Mariner unfortunately, but is he able to cleanse at will? I don't see it mentioned. This one in particular was equipped with Yggdrasil/advantage and did have passive disable applied. Yet when Apparition was cast, Mariner was cleansed and no apparition. In all attempts apparition was only applied once (sadly not to Mariner). Teamed with Thor, Moony and Alchemist (Serenity/Angel- but that's self cleanse right?).
Also, when equipped with Artifact talisman it feels like a 95% remove negative effects, not 20% chance :rolleyes:

Why do we have the Valhalla Maidens and the Valkyrie Hunters get no mention or updates? Were they named wrong from the beginning?
