Challenge reward time. Fairly straight forward, pretty much the same as the last few Frontier dungeon events. Get your grind on folks, this is your opportunity to get hold off Major Malakov if you don't have him yet.

Honestly the "10 frag" rewards seem really, really pitiful. I realize they can stack via repeats to 100 frags. But quite frankly, doling out more frags, even if the cost of the actual items is increased in comparison would be better. It's just nicer getting 50+ frags for some challenge.. so max it out at 500 frags.. and then subsequently increase costs by 400 frags as well. It's about perception more than anything. 10 runs for 10 frags seems like it's more of a joke.

Wrong run count.
20 runs were made, which is correctly reflected in the achievements (Malakhov), but only 3 were counted in the events. Accordingly, there is no correct classification for talis.
SoT score is also incorrect

The art for Hard mode has improved so much! Sry to say this but trooper dungeon was kinda flat and ugly. Now it's different, and the history in it also it is a plus, nice details!

Btw I have been running Blight talismans on several toons in the last weeks and they are not preventing toons of using their fury. In this case, in this dungeon (but not exclusively) Scream For Me Eddie keeps using his Fury even if he wears Blight and Marks/Cosmic.

This also happen with Horus in Powerslave, and I read reports of troopers having the same problem with Blight in NotB Eddie.

Btw thanks for the trooper keys with the rewards it's a pretty straight forward event. Just sad we are not able to collect all the trooper shards for awakening toons without spending extra ironite.

The same thing was happening to me when I was using the blight talismans on Scream for me Eddie, but then I found that it was because I was using Warrior Odin in the same team and Odin's passive "disables" the blight talismans because of the: "Grant Immunity to Blind, Silence, and Seal including innate effects" part, this same thing happens with the Gunner Pharaoh Dog King

That theory and conflict among talismans sound logic! but it would blow away the meaning and utility of blight :/ Also maybe Horus max passive it's in conflict with blight maybe. However, good point there Andy!

Would like to say once again, how wonderful it was to see a bit of story added to this dungeon. Looking forward to seeing more like that in the future :)

Is this the first Dungeon story that hasn't had an Eddie? Seemed odd doing a level without him :)

My event runs are not counting properly. I had exactly 200 runs done before. Used a key and played for 1 hour and only 14 registered. The achievement tab is working correctly and shows that I actually did 256 runs in total. 42 runs missing. I don't have any Major Malakhov troopers. Add to that the trooper dungeon only lasts an hour and I need to do at least 400 runs to get T3 and awakening shards! Everyone do check your tabs. You may have been wasting your keys.85968597

Are you sure it didn't "lap"... i.e.. 50+14 (56 runs) .. and with the 50 you'd hit 100.. +14... (56 runs)


Math be hard.

It is funny how many just automatically assume there's a "problem".

The other thing is he may not have been running the dungeon on HARD since only HARD counts on those achievements...

But.. 21K ironite is impressive..... Hope all the Odins have been bought :)

Of course it did lap. But it doesn't tally. You can count the total runs there. 100×2 + 14 = 214.

And I never played in easy level either. The achievement count is the one with more numbers (256). It specifically states that it is in 'hard'. That means 256 runs in hard.

Yeah saving ironite since February. I only spent it when I really wanted a character. Right now I have one Odin and I still need resources to max 6 other characters before I would try to get and awaken another Odin. The only resource I don't have much is the time to play for long time to get those awakening materials. I enjoy playing casually and I am hoarding gold because of the variety event at the end of this month. :o

I suspect that the "Clear" the level event counter for the event may mean you need all toons to survive.

While clear for the Malakhov/Calvary Ed achievements don't have that requirement.

Not sure on that, but it would explain your experience.

I've had a couple of runs end with one of my characters dead, and it still counted. Not sure what went to stop it counting for you like that, but hope you're able to get through the rest of the event without any more trouble!

56 runs for one key it's impossible. You need to have an average 0:30 for 1 run

It is not, I already completed 500 runs and it was more than enough to buy the 6 final awakening materials (for Azov or Redan) plus the Crimean T3. My best time was 31 seconds with an average of 45 - 50 seconds

"average 45-50" is not "average 30".
My average time is too 45-50 s and it's about 40+- runs per key. Don't forget about animation after battle, waiting 10 s between battles and loading time.

I didn't do 56 runs in one key. The gap between achievement and mission numbers increased over several keys. The last key I used only counted 14 runs and I was elaborating on that. Anyway 3 new keys with the evolution event means I don't need to buy more keys from store. So it is all good.


Hmm... this has my curiosity piqued!
Those variety events usually have goals involving spending resources including gold, fc etc. I didn't have much gold or fc hoarded in the last event and missed the T3 red cosmic talisman. So this time I am hoarding just in case...

Ya, for me too was about 45-55s/run avg, but takes ~30s between each battle, so only getting 40+ runs/key. Wish they'd shorten the wasted time between runs by a lot when on auto, especially for those dungeons that are only open for 1 hour, and the 30s breaks are much more significant overall.
