I tried my luck today and summoned 5 more heroic souls which gave me this:

Now save heroic souls for baroness redan.
Nice one. I am hoping for The Count and then Redan too - I doubt it though as I am not really ever getting any luck with this game and these types of events - I usually have to grind the game into the dirt to get anything like Gunner Krampus for example - so many xmas souls used and not him or hi sbrother dropped once!Quote:

I completed inflict increase negative, Inflict Flame, Inflict Flare, Inflict Scalding Burn, and half way on Inflict perfect death over night in LoL X auto farm. I also used a set of freezing talisman to work on that, but it only triggered about 50 times.Quote:

Freezing talismans were only Lvl 1 3 stars, Wrath died a lot, so the freeze didnt trigger often. I dont think the talismans really matter, just put in any maxed sets you have, but i listed them since people seem to always ask.
Over the last week i was farming LoL X each day for materials. I accumulated a large amount of rare souls in there. I ran about 500 SoT thru LoL X last night to work on the event and I didnt get a single rare soul.... So I would say LoL X is the way to go, but currently it isnt working.Quote:

They shouldn't have fun with this crap.., they should hate it!
There will be still stupid people who will waste there money on us!! $$$$$
DEVS don't forget to remove the Rare Soul drops in Sacrifice we need to kdding these stupid idiots that they can earn these new Heroic Legendary Soul Fragments.., but they can't! HAHAHA because sacrifice won't drop any and they need to buy them.. HAHHAHA
Why should we make a great game based on a great Band?? Because we just use the NAME of this great Band just to milk the money out of all these stupid metalheads.., the time when this game was fun is no more.., now we only want to ruin it and milk money as much as possible!!!"
Oh I stopped buying stuff long time ago ... Those are saved souls from Gauntlet and former sac events ... my post was rather ment as a warning for people considering putting money into it. It is of course their own choice but they should do it with low hopes and not high ones. Otherwise disappointment is certain ...Quote:

So to me, was a good event.
I think it is funny when people complain about the odds and spending money on the game. What do you think lotteries and slot machines are made to accomplish? This is a for profit game that actually is a very useful teaching tool. One event is great when the odds are in your favor, then the next event it is terrible when the odds are against you.
Every event we hear the same complaints, while a lucky few pull the grand reward. What is it called when you do the same thing over and over and expect different results.
I have been losing interest in the game the last few months, not due to the odds or content of the game. I am just finding other things that I enjoy to occupy my spare time.
Good point .... "games" like this should actually be called slot machines because that is what they are deep down.Quote:

Not gambling with real money here - 109 Euro for a quick kick of swiping something into big mouth is ridiculous - well at least for me. :)
I still enjoy the game. The new game content recently introduced has been a good diversion with decent rewards. For long term players any content introduced will not end up being a real challenge, just time to figure the mechanics out.
Events like the current one is a very good learning tool for new players or players with limited rosters. The long term players this is just a different grind.
I haven't seen any complaints about the last several sacrifice events, memory can really be short term. I also haven't seen many comments on the reduced bug encounters in the arena/gauntlet except game freezes. The bugs have been reduced or better understanding of the mechanics explain some of the so called bugs.
I keep seeing complaints about talis combos not possible in the gauntlets opponents. It is not a bug, they are just making the game a little more unpredictable and challenging.
I don’t mind the challenge but unpredictability can be unfair at times. It means you will have to take a team that can deal with any situation. I was up against a team where none of them could equip primodials, yet they had primodials.Quote:

I can say how the coin toss can be unfair but at least we know that’s a thing and we prepare for it. But we can’t prepare for unpredictable talisman setup. At least not without ending up using characters that are not needed for a fight which in turn hurts when up against a stronger team down the road.
But I don’t complain about it. My only complain is me getting tired of swiping left lol. Hope the devs come up with a better interface for talisman setup. A simple “unequip all” helps a lot too.
Don't know if something like this has already been posted here (Just got back for today, so haven't checked much), but I made a little table of all the characters to use in this event. If I've missed something, please let me know and I'll fix it. Cheers \m/
Attachment 5117
heal reduction green reindeer does it on basic, 100% chance.Purple reindeer basic at 50% chance
400+ rare souls opened (not a single Night City character btw) and no 5* from the heroic legendaries. Did not touch the two heroic mythic souls I earned yet, since I think I may get one or two more legendaries during the event, or the "standard" heroic souls I have saved. At least I got tons of sacrifice fodder for the next sac event. Nearly got a whole vortex filled with only the 3* dupes I got from all the souls.
Thanks once again deathbat, really useful (as always)! And thanks as well Natasmai!
Thanks man!Quote:

From my point of view the event has its pros and cons. Heroic souls are becoming more and more important because of the increasing number of event characters that are not included in the normal soul pool. So it was clear from the last Gauntlet special, that something would happen to the mechanics so that more myth heroic fragments would become available. I thought that also the next Gauntlet might give them or some other permanent addition would come but no - it is this event.
What I really cannot understand is, that only normal rare souls give fragments during this event! Why?? In my opinion all types of souls should give fragments, depending on their rareness including legendary souls that should give like 5 times the frags of a normal rare soul. G/A rares sould give somewhat 2 times the frags of normal souls given the higher value e.g. seen in the Trooper Badge prices in the shop, W/S/M rare souls something in between.
If you really want to benefit from this event you want to create some myth heroic souls. For 1 of these you need 250 souls! That's a lot! Some of us might have 250 saved or even 500 but I guess no player has 750 or more rare souls in the inventory. You want to farm them? Nice, try your luck in LoL or via sacrifice....but it was often the case that exactly within the period of an event of this type, no rare souls seem to drop anywhere or at least far less than normal. Coincidence?
And here some final math for those that think about buying souls in the shop (and yes, Amarthir I also remember the times when during such an event the rare mega pack gave 20 souls instead of 10...):
10 rare souls cost 675 Ironite. 250 souls = 25 packs * 675 = 16.875 Ironite (wow!)
The Pharaoh's Treasure ("Best value") gives 4.000 Ironite for 100 bucks. So you need to buy 4 of these if you have 875 Ironite saved up.... this means 400 bucks for a CHANCE for your desired character. I doubt that it is a 50:50 chance there.
I was somewhat lucky to get the Count with the myth heroic soul I claimed after opening several rare souls plus the frags I had from my first bigger attempt at the gauntlet (#37 woohoo). But the 6 legenary heroics (and I also tried some 30-40 normal heroics) on the way there gave nothing good, mostly red dogs... So to be honest I thought I would get AH Ed from the myth soul, but I was lucky this time!
So to conclude: Yes, it is an interesting event and giving the players some options to acquire special heroics is a great thing for sure. But in my opinion the conditions are rather unfair. What if you have all characters that you can get from normal rare souls but you are obliged to open them just for the fragments? Why are legenarys or G/A souls nothing worth in terms of fragments, even though they cost more than normal rare souls in the shop or are set as rewards for the higher PvP ranks? Please, devs, rethink these conditions for future events of this type. 250 souls are a lot, even if we are "allowed" to use all type of souls we have.
This is meant as a warning and I just wanted to share my thoughts. Do what you want to do - it might be successful, but there is no guarantee. If the (g)odds are against you, this event can only result in disappointment and a huge drainage of your souls and wallets... Good luck everyone!
Deathbat, it doesnt appear warrior demon spawn passive reduced healing is working, as previously stated. Warrior newborn of light can reduce healing. 30% unsharded, 75 % sharded, hits all targets so this is a good option for the mission.
I think you need to redo your math. I believe you get 10 frags per rare soul, you need 25 rare souls per mythicQuote:

As for my thoughts on the event, it's certainly a weird one. I only had around 30 souls and no Count, so I thought I'd open them up and see if I could have a shot. No Count, but did get another Doomsday. I'll certainly give it a go, even if I end up just keeping the rewards and forget the rest of the event. Seems weird to have this event before a sacrifice though..
Unfortunately not. 25 rare souls for 1 mythic would be heaven!Quote:

Nice job as always Deathbat! Muzzleloader is right about the warrior demon spawn not working. Like Natasmai said, the Sentinel Festive Wickerdeer does a single heal reduction with his basic. I had 2 of them, so I put on freeze talismans and let them run through with my troopers.
I think, it is not the Newborn of light, but the Warrior Golden Sun, you are talking about. Just that one I usually use for sacrifice :DQuote:

To me, as I am playing the game regularly for about 5 months, it is an nice event with tasks, that will make me get to know my toons a bit better -> and will make me miss again those, I usually throw away ;)
The benefit of it does not catch me at the moment, as spending 25 rare souls for one heroic legendary seems quite expensive to me. I will go through the event missions and see, what will be left. Of course "The count" would be a great thing, but there is a pretty high chance of dissapointement with that Dog and Bomber boy in it.
yes i just realized you skipped the legendary and went straight to mythic. i understand now. apologies.Quote:

So at least, i think the autoplay options should be improved:
For example, why not adding a flag to prevent your team to use power abilities? This would make it quicker when you have to use basic abilities to reach a reward, so that AI won't make them use power abilities and make you waste time.
I think this would be very useful to help us at least with autoplay.
This was just an example, many other options could be added to the autoplay menu to personalize the battles
What is wrong about that:
Have grave on enemies from ass. demon spawns passive, use Viking Eddies maraud to increase/ extend negative effects for 1 round, doesn’t count!
I just wish they would retire these one star toons and common souls. I'd love to see new usable toons replace them. It's a hardship for new players who find their roster is useless, once they rank up into higher worlds.
Huckfinn, if they replaced the older weaker toons with stronger ones the gauntlet would just become more difficult and you would be in the same place. Some of the weaker toons can hold 6 set talisman were the talisman is more important than the toon itself.
Yeah, i never bought anything, because, it's a smartphone game.., and i know, that these kind of games, aren't worth it to waste the money..,Quote:

This - So much this! There should be an ability to save sets and move them around as a set etc. That is my #1 gripe about the game!Quote:

And when I saw the "prizes" I said f*ck it, not worthed spending money for a chance of a few characters that are not exclusive so you can get them eventualy in any other soul.
opened my first 10 rare souls and got Icarus. I will probably opened 15 more rare souls and keep the dupes for the next sac event. If I'm lucky to get The count then nice. Otherwise, I don't mind.
Just playing your troopers daily with the proper toons should achieve most of the goals. As someone said this event gives you some additional rewards for the your daily grind. Meaningless or not it brings some variety in this regard.
@Muzzleloader I know. It's just arriving to pull common souls and get one star toons. I just sacrificed a thousand and didn't even get half way around the vortex meter. We should be able to trade for rare souls before sacrificing. Then it wouldn't take so long and the rewards be more with the time. I'd trade 1,000 coming for 500 rares.
Oh man thank you so much for this!Quote:

If you pull a 4* it would take 50 common for each rate souls. A 2 to 1 trade would be way to generous of a trade. You cant rule out the SoW and SoT earned from common souls for their value.. many of the common toon can hold 6 set talisman, so they are not totally worthless.
Thus far.. seen Aces High and Doomsday each 3x.... seen the Count 0, which is all I really want.
(also pulled a Cyborg Ed and a Madam from the rare souls. Everything else from rare souls has been shit.)
Struggling with scalding burns.. I have zero pyro soldiers or the S Trickster since they are essentially worthless for everything other than crappy goals such as these.
Just got Taunt left now. All the rest are done. Then I might redeem some of these souls, as I tend to collect them up a bit then dump them all at once.
