What if all I want is Virus Eddie (not skill shards, ICs... etc), should I chose playing normal for frags?Quote:

So if i got this right, you use the green frags to buy keys to earn red frags for the 3* Eddie. Once I get the 750 frags and I have the Eddie, all of the remaining green frags can be converted to precious or souls that make gold idols. The green frags have no other use besides the keys and the red frags have no use at all besides the Eddie?
1.Complete event missions
2.Claim keys in event
3.Play unlocked dungeon to get virus fragments
4.??????????
5.Profit
Yeah was thinking the same, though I'd stop at 750 frags. However, that would require 250 runs meaning 2500 sot (not accounting for sot returns). I'm not sure if I want to spend 21 refills for another bench warmer ...Quote:

Right, hadn't thought about it. The current options aren't impressive. I've been using storm so far since he works better for me than SoL. This new Eddie might actually work well with radiant / immunity. Gonna try that next weekend, thanks for the input !Quote:

Out of interest, if you go look at the virtual eddie shards and click the (i), does everyone else also have the 'expired' comment on the frags? Im assuming it doesnt stop anything as I seem to be getting frags still, but just interested if its just me or not....
yes, I also have, or rather had that. Keys and dungeon still worked fine however and also "cashing" in my new Eddie :-)Quote:

Been strictly running Normal and can confirm Skill Shards and FC's are dropping here. With 5 more runs left, I'm at 667 of 750 frags for Virus. Unless the Froggies shut off the faucet, I should be done today using Ironite for the occasional SOT refill.Quote:

Not positive, but I don't think they stack. After finishing each set of 15 runs, I had to go get another key (and put my team together again because they didn't save each time I had to get a new key or refill ironite).Quote:

Yes - no frags for completing each difficulty the first time.Quote:

Thanks for your confirmation, Liu!
Hm it is a bit strange then, also that you cannot go to madness directly. 300 runs in total times 5 frags = 1500 frags = 2 Eddies.
This WOULD make some sort of sense (if getting a 3* Eddie two times makes sense at all). But ok, so exact 750 frags are the way to go...
@ yup: thanks for killing my hope for some good rewards lol
I was happy to see the first rewards, but looking at the reward info for the dungeon shows no more of the precious stuff unfortunately. This would have made this dungeon way way better!
To those of you having troubles with the team-set-up. Had the problem too. Clearing App's Cache and Data helped me. After doing this team did not reset anymore.
Cheers, will give it a go thanks!Quote:

Has the dungeon increased in power all of a sudden!?
Edit: OK, back to my wining ways... That was super weird!
Anyway, for those interested, the below are the rewards for a full refill, less 60 for those losses (wtf) in madness:
85 ironite (over half the fill back, woot!)
1 SS
33x5* colourless shards
24x4* colourless shards
10x3* colourless shards
A few 3* runes (didnt track unfortunately, but it says 'new'!)
handful of rare souls
a little FC (<100, but didnt track very well either)
50ish SoW
A bit of extra time invested certainly, but am thinking its still probs worth running madness for the ironite returns compared to normal. Also should have spare viral frontier coins for conversion to idols, for moar $...
So while technically running normal is better viral eddie frags per unit of ironite, I actually think madness ends up much better overall.
madness really better now?
Madnes almost always gives better rewards per SoT. It just depends on how much SoT you are willing to spend.
If on madness you get a 50% SoT return then 250 battles will cost about 600 SoT.
On normal I am getting about a 30% return of Sot then 250 battle will cost about 400 SoT.
This doesnt take into account the rewards or the time invested. I know you recieve better quality and amount of shards. On normal I know I pulled a few SS, I dont know about FC or the amounts. I didnt keep track of the actual amounts. I know I earned more than 120 SoW by what I spent and what I have in the bank. This is after 180 battles.
Thanks for the tip! So far I am too lazy to clear data and download it again. Clearing cache alone does not help unfortunately! The reset is really annoying!. It is always the team I used recently to level up in powerslave, leaving one spot open. The weird thing is that the team I use for the dungeon is still somehow selected - at least they appear selected (darkish) in the team row, but are not chosen for the team setup. Really strange!Quote:

One run gave 7 another one 6. This might result in 1 or 2 runs less needed for the 750 in the end!
Just out of curiosity, how many talisman key souls has everyone pulled while grinding the BNW dungeons for the viral frontier fragments?
5 keys! So exactly the 5% drop rate hereQuote:

I pulled 3 in 120+ runsQuote:

Nada out of 100 BNW battles.
I have done only 40 battles on level X and have gotten 3 keys. Already finished my farming on BNW.
Yeah, the event is done now and quite happy with the input and output of it all. He should be a strong 3 star I think.
Anyone else have their win counter stuck in Brave New World battles? I'm stuck at 25 and I had run quite a few before I realized it. I have been working on my Echo/titan shield runs and those counters are working.
Event done. Took about 48 hours of playing. Spent about 400 Ironite give or take. Farmed BNW X. Did not even need to finish all the achievements to get him.
I like him and have been beating a few teams in Arena. He is not ready for defense yet but he does well with the right classes.
Farm team of Madness dungeon
Sentinel Troll - Greed/Inspiration (imho the best dungeon ally to use. He destroys all beneficial effects on enemies)
Ferryman - Hex/Mark
Alexander - Viper/Cosmic
Madam - Alchemy/Cosmic
Average time 2:00 minutes (to midnight)
Best time 1:19 on auto.
Despite spending ironite, the returns on the dungeon are huge. Over 100 SoW plus other stuff. I would like to see more events like this.
I got 1 key for all the BNW runs to finish the challenges.... bit disappointed tbh!
That said, knowing my luck I'd get all the same colour anyway and it wouldnt be worth running! lol
Anyone else see the update to Virus Eddie? Didnt see a post to discuss, so I'm mentioning it here. I knew something was up.... his HP earlier was like 39000+, now its 8000+.
The update post said he was drawing stats from the Boss in the Virus Dungeon, that's why Hp was high and his attack was weak. He hits like a champ now, but Hp is 8k or so.
It just messes with your head when you could have sworn you saw something different before..... anyway, you're not crazy , they did change him.
Well seeing how the event was suspended early on due to a bug with the soul that doesn't surprise me to see a change to Virus Eddie.
I completed the event last night. Only down side to the event was the amount of keys to purchase and having to reset every damn time! If they ever go down this road again I hope they make the keys about 100/200 frags and limited to 30/60 runs per key instead of the 50 frags/15 runs bs. Grinding is hard enough as it is why make it even harder? Unless you want even more players to leave the game? :(
Happens to me too. Does anyone know why or have a workaround? Very annoying to have to get new keys all the fricking time.Quote:
