I got Gunner Angel of Mercy for about 10 refills. It should be interesting combo with green angel.

Thanks for the quick and detailed reply Stormseye! The seem to be very powerful then... Great but...pay to win?
--> Very important question to the devs:
When and where will these* talismans be available in the future outside the shop??
*We had several new sets now in the past coming from rewards or the shop, like these energy-creating shields (still sitting on 2 of these, without any use without a third one), shadows, future etc.
Will they rotate into the BNW drops? I assume not, but instead they will be available in the gauntlet, right? Or night city?
I think it would be a highly recommended and very welcome from your player base to give some insights into this topic. How long do we need to wait until we can complete unfinished sets and to farm these other powerful sets?
I am somewhat OK with the idea that you can "shortcut" your way to rewards like talismans during events by paying. But making them completely exclusive for ca$h is very smelly...
I also wonder if they stack at all. So if you had all four in PVP with these on would that give an 80% more HP. Can you imagine that plus a 80% HP relic on the same team plus HP upgrades per class!?! Gulp. Saying that I faced a team today with a set on plus 80% relic general and 50-60 on each class as well - got them in the end but it took me by surprise and I was plain lucky at a couple of stages of the battle - like a sliver of my HP left so I was able to revive the team and that sort of thing.
Sparton posted on this but long story short - The highest damage reduction will be used only. They do not stack. If you have an ally with Destiny Set (20%) and AGP (35%) you will only get the 35%. Likewise if you have all 4 allies with 4 full sets you still only get 20% reduction.
The various Talisman sets that have been featured in events will eventually be added as drops in existing content, purchases in currency shops (i.e. Troopers / Frontier Store), as well as future game modes (such as Gauntlet, Night City, Silent Planet, etc.)
Exact timeline still TBD, but you should start seeing some of the Talismans featured last year and early this year added within the next few months.

Well frag drop seem very minimal. Took me 6 SOT refills running LOL X to get enough frags for ONE G Bat.
6 SOT Refills (480 SOT total) at 30 ironite per = 180 ironite for 1 G Bat.
Cost just seems too high given I got only 4 rare souls, and 130 Lilith frags for all that SOT as well. Low gold payout per run making powering up the Bat costly in terms of gold usage.
Fairly decent character... but well.. not missing out by only getting one if you can't stack the damage reductions. And my guess is that passive of the G Bat only works once, even if you have 2 of them on the same team.
I thought maybe the Destiny set would work well on Magus Lillith but since she is only one I don't have cant test. Interestingly enough the bat will revive itself if it is first to die. I wonder what would happen with two?
I haven't found another ally that would seem suited for the 4 blue set. PDK, Sentinel Undead Rescuer, Edward the Great? Really think it would do well on a blocker since Invincibility buff happens quite a lot. I will probably just keep them on the Bat. I just hit for 20k in PVP with bat with no offensive buff.
Well I was considering CG or Clairvoyant.. and I have the M Lilith, strongly considering that idea as well. There are actually quite a few which could use the 4 blues...Ed The Great, Carriage Rider, Storm Ed, SOL, GRE, Mystic, Wicker Ed, W or M Mayan, M Bat, M Corrupt or Undead Rescuer, G Lilith, A Corrupt Rescuer, M Droid, M dogs, ... just not sure yet.
Thing is I don't really use most of those in PVP, so I'll have to explore a new team, not merely a character.
SSE won't take 4 blue talismans. He has 3 Assassin slots.
And yep.. with skill shards and full power, he appears to be a decent addition. Certainly light years ahead of the Geminis :)
Yea the hard part would be to implement it into a PVP build. The talismans wont really help much in PVE since you can mostly 1 round stages. To me this is one of the best 4* event characters to come out. Even if some are seeing low drop rates, everyone should be able to acquire one bat. You now have a multi-hitter on par with some of the Lilliths with some added heal and a passive.
I've ran through a few PvP battles with the Destiny set on Magus Lilith. They replaced my GPD and allowed me to use another toon and battles have gotten a bit more fun for me. The best part is that she will mostly get a Titan/force shield or invincibility and since a blocker with invincibility will negate basically all damage it makes it an amazing pick for her.
Well crap, seems I'm hitting the ... spend 15 minutes arranging talismans and powering them up only to leave the team screen and NOTHING is retained... repeat.. same thing.
Yeah I have just purchased the destiny set too and put them in my new Magis Lilith, but it could be a while before I see the benefits, I want to skill shard her and power up the talisman, I've been so busy lately powering up that 6 set of red talisman my gold resources are rather low..
I plan on replacing Warrior Lilith in my PVP team occasionally, but we'll see how it pans out..
I just spent 500 ironite for the same "Pocketful of Gold' that's priced at 100 ironite. Because I had to purchase it over and over and over because although the talisman settings weren't retained you can damn well bet they took the ironite and gold.
Contacted support. This shit is ridiculous.
The ONLY way I could get things to every stick was to power up 1 talisman.. relaunch... power up another talisman, relaunch, power up the 3rd, relaunch, power up the last one relaunch.
I set talismans.. relaunched game.. reset talismans.. relaunched game.. repeat 1 talisman at a time.. repeat 1 talisman at a time. repeat 1 talisman at a time... repeat final talisman... that's the only way I got things to stick.
It's not my device .. it's their servers. (kind of noted by suddenly seeing the "7 Deadly Gifts" icon on the main HUD UI, which has been over for 6 months now...)
Need some advice here. Got the assassin one as my first Lilith yesterday and i don't like anything about her. I have 648 ironite and 145 Lilith frags, should i spend it in order to get another one or do i save for the upcoming events? Also, is the X level drop rate that much better then the VII? Should i go X only?
Just tested the AoM Golden Buff benefit since it had not come up during my prior fights, and was surprised to see Ghost come up on the buff list. Needless to say I had to show that Priestess the business end of my claymore. 35k in your face!

Sparton and team - it appears that lots of players are hitting the stack limits for XP and evo shards with these LoL events. At best, this leads to sub-optimal use of these materials (even selling them in some cases). At worst, it leads to MACLx errors.
Would you please consider increasing the number of allowable stacks? Would you also please consider adjusting the tuning of LoL drops to emphasize 5* XP shards more? You could keep the average amount of XPs in the drops constant, but just allocate them more heavily towards 5* (and even 4*) shards. That would allow us to store more XPs per stack. Thanks!
Well, the limit has to be somewhere for save file size reasons, so a line needs to be drawn somewhere to force you to use/sell stacks. It's already really easy for most end-game players to max out whatever character they want when they get it, so I'd be a bit leery of making it so you can have way more stacks of materials, or just making 4* and 5* materials easier to hoard with the current difficulty and scaling of the content.
Somewhat related, while our QA hasn't had a chance to verify the fix yet, we should have improved handling for the issue that can cause MACL12 errors upon stacks overflowing in an upcoming update (either into a second stack or into overflow inventory spaces).
Question about stacking talismans...
If more than one character has Destiny talismans.. does that stack to 40% damage reduction? Or, like different characters, does the talisman set only grant a maximum of 20% damage reduction even if there are multiple sets in play? So 1 set = 2% reduction, 2 sets = 20% reduction 4 sets = 20% reduction?
Minor issue with the bat.....
PvP..
I take prisoner...
other team has the Bat...
Prisoner disables passives on the Bat.
I kill their Eddie (p0M). He does NOT revive due to passive disabled as expected.
They take a turn.
My next turn... I kill their Wrath.. he revives.. So the bat revived the SECOND ally to die. That doesn't seem right.
Not a huge issue (he's no red bat :)).
Battle run at the same time as this post.. in fact i posted in the middle of the battle.
I took on a G Bat team (perhaps the same team) G bat revived Warrior Undead Rescuer after I killed him, he built up a stack of gold buffs on his team, but in the end they all died anyway nothing unordinary to report.
The problem is there's already sooooo many great characters all good but you can only choose 4.
Second problem is choosing the right 4 characters who's qualitys complement one another..
We see a very effective team in the arena and duplicate it or play with it a bit, latest example Assasin Corrupt Rescuer 3 in 4 teams has one.
I can't help thinking we all hold an untapped quality toon, who will it be that replaces ACR?
My newbie son and I have come up with an idea (I'm sure it's been bandied around before) what about PVP teams with all 4 team members being Eddies.
Imagine a team made up of VHE,Pharoah,Navigator and Clansman taking on say POM,7th Son, Trooper and GRE or whatever combination....
Those so called events are indeed the best ones regarding ROI - and they are getting old and are boring as hell. That says a lot about this slot machine. It took me 1,5 days and about 25 refills to get a Lilith dupe - nice. At least the multiple yellow angels are good for flushing down the toilet for more dupes. My device plays a lot (lying next to me) and I play since start (with a short break) and could buy stuff with Frontier Coins. But I am missing Warrior and Gunner Lilith, Clair and Trooper Eddie plus of course Alexander. I have 2000 FC and don't dare to spend them because of what might come next.
Honestly just let me give you ironite and you calculate the average time a battle takes and lock the game that many hours. That would at least not waste electricity. It's just not fun anymore to press a button in the hope you don't get a dupe. (yes I got a few 4* from the rare souls from LoL X - but dupes, dupes and dupes)
If the devs says they are targeting new players by introducing more and more chars and talismans it makes me giggle. A new player will have a lot to catch up without needing even more stuff. It's getting confusing as hell who does what and why and is X a bug or is it intended?
How are other games keeping up the fun? Surely not by forcing the players to do the same old shit for a year without new content but dangling a different carrot every week in front of the donkeys. The expression Groundhog Day has been replaced by Legacy of the Beast - that's for sure.
Probably I am just tired of the bug infested slot machine this thing is. Summer is coming and it's crying for a break ... troopers should be safe as I can auto them.
P.S: Can the guy with the Alchemist please change his champ? On auto when the Alchemist triggers his fury my game always hangs and I have to force quit it. I always have to play this dude manually and it's really annoying. I give you this month before I kick you for having the Alchemist as a champ. :) (also ridiculous that this bug is not solved since everal month - it is game breaking)
Thank you for your reply, Kaz.
It is good to hear that the talisman sets will show up in the future. But the timeline shocks and disappoints me:
Those from last year and early this year...so roughly estimated a timespan of 6-9 months will show up in a few months, lets say these are 3 months. This sums up to 9-12 months. Is it planned to extend this linearly to the recent talis? This would mean that the destiny set will show up again in march-june 2019?? Until then only the buyers will have the benefit? I recommend to rethink, if this strategy really is the way you want to go on with the game. I am pretty sure that many many people won't like that, including me. There are other and better ways to make money without separating your playerbase so obviously. Bring back this adventurer pack for example once in a while, this was a great and fair deal.
Are you the last person that actually thinks the company gives a rat's ass of whether you like something or not? They have proven over and over that regardsless what people say they have their very own track - all the company does is trying to calm the mob and speaking about soon soon soon ... what is the latest thing you actually can think of an improvement or new and not dangling carrots? I guess it's the auto play and that took them nealry 2 years to implement since players were complaining from start that it takes too much time - let me repeat that: almost 2 years ... now do your own math about other shit that will show up soon ...
Autoplay was only introduced to steal our ironite faster.
So far:
850 bat fragments
295 lilith fragments
40% of my ironite spent on refils.
wow thats too many ironite...i am on 220 lilith fragments and that will be my first Lilith
saving ironite or try to find 300 more lilith frag?
The release of the new Talismans is not tied to a specific timeline, mainly just the features. Whenever a given feature comes out, so to will the Talismans associated with them. It just so happens that the Talismans from earlier in the year were designed for content that is about to come out, so that's why you will see them first.

uhh, the new update is coming today ? what u think guys, can we expect the new eddie ?
Why the maintenance break in the middle of an event? If it was truly only 1 hour, then not so bad, but it usually takes longer than that. Last time much much longer. :(
lol just getting one of them was hard. Funny I had three drops of 50 Lilith frags for this event but hardly any for the angel and after I got one today they finally gave me a 50 angel drop frags haha
