I also put a weak team up now instead just a single 3* Ed.
Never realised the difference in awards.
I still don't get why there are players below the top 300 that use a strong defence. It's not that the change of ending up higher in ranking is there.... just saying, I'll pass Banchees and Ferryman's because it just takes way to long... so if more players skip them there are less defence battles to take.
So in the end weaker defence can even bring you further up in ranking I think.
Let’s not forget, that aiming for the 375 victories in order to get the 5 set puts you on hold with progressing in getting new cosmic talismans or getting lucky and pull the right catalyst out of a pool of like 10 different ones to maybe, possibly, hopefully evolve them further than 2* one day (or better said in a few years)...
I have made the mistake and bought 5 soul shard fragments and a catalyst soul before realizing how much would the Alchemy set cost, so that puts me to around 475 victories to get...easy-peasy!!!
not a bad ide overall! but the prices are again so ridiculously high that the rewards are out of reach for even the most HC players, not mentioning casuals or new players...
Well...but you can always get yourself one for 20$....(see the elephant in the room?)
Ok.., i have to say.., i still hate arena events..,
The pricetags aren't any better.., and we need to much grinding.., which is in Arena boring af..,
But the new way of getting rewards is a nice thing.., i like it to get every 10 fights a little bonus.., and every 25th win and so on...
Would be cool, if we could see the defense team in the attack list.., or an autofarm mode for Arena. xxxD
Since some of us can just play Arena on Auto it could help this useless and boring grinding. :D
Thanks for all of the input on teams to avoid. I was already avoiding those set-ups but I was hoping that maybe I missed a way to see talismans on the defense.
That being said I also updated my defense to be one of my dup 5* eddies that I was saving for the next sacrifice event with 2 Sac hearts and a gold idol all leveled up to 100.
if you are willing to spend the 500 ironite, it "only" takes about 210-225 (i forget exactly) wins for a set of talisman. Not that I want to spend 500 ironite on that, but i want to spend 500 ironite way more than i want to gouge my eyes out playing any more Arena....
Natasmai, you are going to spend 500 ironite if you buy the reanaing 2 talisman or if you play arena. The extra 150 wins may cost you 450 ironite for refills if you win all the battles, a little less if you clear your battle lists. You wont earn the ironite if you buy the talisman, but most players winning all 375 battle probably dont need the ironite for relics.
The cosmic materials are also interesting! Hard decision for most players. When will these Talis show up in Gauntlet or somewhere else? So is it an all-or-nothing decision? Getting a full Tali set PLUS some cosmic materials is near impossible - for normal beings! The top is going completely crazy!! #1 already has >10k points, #2 close to 9k, #3 has 6.5k .... this is insane! How much time do they have?? I can't believe it!
I must admit, I really really hate this event. But last time I ignored Arena event, it had tower talismans for prize. And now I have some regrets about ignoring it.
No, they came from a fragment event. The one with the Magus Convict! I did not trade the frags for the towers and I don't really regret it. They are just ultra annoying on defense, but I'd prefer things that help me in the offense. But that's just my opinion :)Quote:

Absolutely true, but it comes down to spending ironite to play more miserable Arena bullshit, or just buy the talisman and end it.....Its an easy decision for me.Quote:

The scaling rewards that let you decide how far you want to go is fantastic and the amount of rewards is pretty good. The only bad parts of the event is of course tying it to arena, and the costs of the talismans and other purchases.Quote:

From the opening post:
Talisman Soul Fragments x25 (50 Gnosis Soul Fragments, 20 per event)
400 per Talisman Soul = 16 times the 25 frags, at 50 Gnotchi frags each = 16*50 = 800 for one new tali
This, exactly. The devs are systematically destroying their own game. LotB's lifespan will basically be determined by how long it takes the fanbase to notice the trendQuote:

If you stick it on a character with high special base stat (do they just work from base stats?) or one with high special talisman it might be a monster in terms of generating fury - maybe not the best but I do think each of these will have a place where they are useful. I am sure there are a few characters that scle of special too that it might work on?
I think anything other than white would be good fo rme - I did get a purple one I think but nothing great but it does serve a purpose.
Joy... just took a look at the where to find evolution runes for cosmic talismand and it mentions "monthly evolution events".... now that's something I'm not looking forward to

Maybe this "Game" is their whole live? :D And it fits to NFs crazy imagination of making goals for Events..,Quote:

You see, that the artists do it with love.., all what you see and all the Characters, and Artworks and Environments are looking awesome..,
And i could imagine that the devs maybe are just forced to do it as fast as possible instead of clean updates and bugfixes..,
It's very sad.., but this are reasons why i won't never ever support games like this.., real money for digital bullshit.., nope!
And yes, i know that every company needs money to go on with things but i believe there better ways than something like this. ;)
It's for a reason my only smartphone game. xD
But don't get me wrong, i still like this game, but the love i had when i started early 2017 for it is gone..
There are a lot other indie game developer or open source software developer out there i spent/donate money for.., because they give us something solid, communicate with their "customers" and do it with LOVE.
And for the Software.., i am willing to donate money to companies who gave me and MANY other people out there, FREE software to make Art or whatever.
Happy "Customers" and fair prices will bring more money in my honest opinion.., but yeah..,
If this game shuts down.., everyone who wasted their money will maybe be very upset. ^^'
But these kind of games are just an easy psychological game.., and sad but true.., it works very well..,
Just got a hold of the Alchemy talismans... Yep they're basically The Alchemist's basic turned into a talisman set. They're basically better angel talismans so say goodbye to ever having debuffs.
Yup. Now add Greed talismans to your KP and you are ready to destroy!Quote:

I think they are, you could definitely make some pretty nasty combo's with them. It's just a matter of who you should try them on.Quote:

does anyone know if they are also cleansing silver debuffs? if not they are not comparable with the alchemist at all...Quote:

Same as Amarthir, today I saw them cleanse Doom and Perfect Corruption but not Seal or Exhaust. Every red negative effect is cleansed though.
I couldn't be bothered with the time and wasted IC for this event so I bought a set of Alchemy instead, I have placed them on my Madam in Arena defence, go and try them out for yourselves if you can find me... I'll give them a try too I'm sitting around the 90's to 100's...
Cheers
Running a set on Madam as well, her passive is acting like a set of Radiants blocking offensive buffs that are popping up everywhere because of Warlords. Very effective thus far.
Not a bad idea. I did a couple test runs and they work pretty well on her. Not sure if this will be my new team but we'll see.Quote:

I don't think I will be able to participate in the next event. A funny thing happened when I opened the game tonight. It at its usual buggyness. I got a screeen showing 7 Deadly Gifts and a chance to get Pharaoh Eddie. It wouldn't let me claim the first gift and disapeared after I tried reloading the game. Did anyone else get this?
I like what you said, so I went looking for other possibilities. MARINER blocks invincibility which the Alchemy talis grant, and he reduces benefits by 1 turn, so most of the critical strike effects are only 1 turn, so he should void it out similar to Radiants, plus you can equip the Frontiers on him.Quote:

Speaking of Warlords.... you should know.
I tried every way to Sunday and could not beat your team.... used Radiants too. I think you have NOTB Eddie, he'd disable passive too. I tried 4 or 5 times..... congrats.... besides Gremlin, I never had my ass handed to me as much. LOL..... I actually have a list to remind me who I need to use the Radiants with my assassin Banshee against. Your names on there..... but I just wrote "move on".
Good job man!
This has happened to me about twice. I couldn't claim anything and once I restarted, it was gone. This game sure can surprise infinitely with it's bugs.Quote:

Back to topic:
A lot of buyers out here, very sad to see how quickly people forget how badly they were treated.
The talisman set is ok, but no real game breaker as far as I see it by now. Had an annoying fight when the new set on madam always converted debuffs into endure every round, but so far I did not lose one single match because of them. I still wonder if it's worth to try to get enough fights for one set.
In general I noticed another slight AI defense boost, as M Lilith gets way more extra turns (without acc up) compared to the last weeks, enemy Alchemist turns golden buffs into debuffs almost every time as well as FFE with his fury. Not so cool taking into account the many other overpowered teams and talisman combinations out there.
I have noticed my magus Lilith seems to be getting more extra trusn at the moment - maybe just RNG of course but I was sure I was getting more in the arena than I did last week.
Also noticed that, magus Lilith is taking up to 6 turns
Not your Lilith of course, only the AI defense :)Quote:

I've noticed that here in this event the alchemist is able to remove doom and cleanse the whole team with his basic move. I didn't think anything would remove doom. I guess I was wrong...
Alchemist has always been able to transform Doom and every other negative effect. I will echo what others have seen though. Magus Lillith’s are swinging on average 4 times, AI FFE fury is transforming at 95% against offensive teams while atacking teams are only transforming 60%. The same holds true for AI controlled Alchemists. They will transform offensive Golden Effects with 90% success while attacking players are only achieving 40% success rates for transforming enemy Golden Effects.Quote:
