The accursed giant Balor has arrived!

Balor is a 5★ Warrior and ruler of the Fomorians. This high damage True Damage Dealer comes equipped with the Scorched Redemption passive that makes him immune to Magic Damage. He’ll also receive a permanent increase in select stats when targeted with Physical and True Damage Attacks!

The Eye of Animosity Soul is a limited time event soul which guarantees a 3★ to 5★ character of any class. This soul has a 2x chance of summoning 5★ non-highlight characters, and has an exclusive chance of summoning Balor.

Each Eye of Animosity Soul summoned will also grant the following bonus rewards:

400 Talisman Gold Red Soul Fragments guarantees a Tier 1 to Tier 3 Gold or Red Cosmic Talisman and 5★ Gold Idol.




Many of these event challenges will also provide Eternal Essence Currency.

Eternal Essence is the event currency of the Gateway to Avalon Event.

Grant Immunity and Perfect Hit to all allies for 2 turns at the start of battle. Remove All Silver Effects from self and gain Physical, Magic and True Block for 1 turn if Perfect Hit effects, including Golden and Innate effects, are active on self at the start of battle, after every action and when you take damage. Remove All Beneficial Effects, including Golden effects, from all enemies and inflict Stun and Passive Disable on them for 1 turn if any ally is suffering from Passive Disable effects, including Silver and Innate effects, at the start of battle and at the start of your turn.

I’m glad you’ve been able to make an event where it’s possible to actually work to get the character and doesn’t require the RNGod’s to be on your side

From what I’ve seen so far, this is probably gonna be a decent event

This might be a little more fun if it weren't looping when we got a win, with the golden skull popping up over and over and the last toon you killed dying over and over, and then giving us a loss after all.

Yep, two fights here - two disco bugs.

The hamster must have died on the wheel again. Can't even get a cosmos battle to run. The devs must have run out to Petco to grab another. Be back in a couple hours...

Maybe if we all use our useless souls we can pull another hamster from them. I mean there’s got to be at least a .003 chance to pull one. I wonder if we can save up enough fragments this time to get one. Hmmm.

Two hours after reset and still can't access store or arena. The dreaded inescapable spinning logo of Death continues....
Was able to check out the challenges for this event though, and it looks daunting. Probanly one of the most intense arena challenge list i can remember. Hope there's plenty of weak defences out there, for everyone's sake. Good luck to us all we've got 6 days and it hasn't started smoothly..

This is a different kind of broken. It looks like the game loads ok but arena matches glitch at the end and every other mode won’t load properly.

Has about as much to do with Iron Maiden as Baphomet, King Arthur, Merlin, Norse mythology, Charles Dickens, and the other crap they've come up to try to flesh out the need for new toons.

Personally, I want Buggard. Sounds like a character that was written off of Blackadder :p

Hello Troopers,

Thank you for your reports this evening. We have discovered an issue in the Scorched Sun event that was the cause of the loading issues throughout the game.

We have found a resolution to this issue and the fix is now live.

We plan to release a compensation pack to address this on Monday.

Thank you so much for your patience and understanding.

Things still aren't working for me.

I keep getting kicked out of my battles and they the only thing that tracks is a loss in victory points and my sands of war get spent.

EDIT: Figured out a "workaround". Had to get a team strong enough to win on the first turn (which makes working on the other challenges difficult) and not give the game a chance to freak out.

But it still sucks to have multiple battles played but only 1 actually count for the event challenges.

Challenges are "Play N times arena battles", but in fact it's "Win arena battles".
No one of my defeats didn't count.

Can confirm. Losses are not counting. This needs to get fixed ASAP. Getting that many wins in a week just isn't a reasonable goal. Heck, Playing that many times is straining reason.

I came here to report the same. The event tab says "play arena", yet so far only wins are being counted. Seems like we need another hot fix.

Zero support on weekends. I thought it's a premium game because of the premium prices in the game store, but it's not.
For what should we pay them? Same bugs on and on...for years...great work!

With it working properly, this is how I would like to see arena events in the future. That is, if we still insist on having events in a part of the game that is neither fun nor worth it 99% of the time.

I particularly like the dynamic that the challenges which are "a huge number of battles" coupled with "you don't need to win" (recently fixed) set up. I'm finding myself fighting battles that I wouldn't have bothered with in the past and winning more than I expect to. Having an incentive to try new things and learn from them is a big win in my book. Good job, devs.

Hello Troopers,

We have just pushed a new server that contains the Scorched Sun compensation pack. You can find this pack in the Specials tab of the 'Main' store. It will be available to collect until Jan 28th!

As we have just completed a server restart, please allow for some additional loading time.

Thanks!

With 2 overlapping short time frame events, you keep taking time away from players with server issues and resets. Your servers can’t handle too many players at once as is. This doesn’t seem well thought out on the developers end...

I can't even enter in the Arena since the restart. And for what? Launch a compensation pack for the previous troubles.

We can expect another compensation pack tomorrow, right?

Most of yesterday was a write-off and now the game is dead again today. How are we supposed to finish these two overlapping events? Everyone is now going to be last-minute cramming to finish, which is prob also not going to sit well with the servers.

Extend the events a couple days plz to give us a reasonable amt of time to finish.
