Maybe for you, running those dungeons is completely abnormal for me since I spend most of my time farming whatever event is running. On the off time I'm either running powerslave for Ironite/leveling or LOL dungeon for those elusive awakening materials.Quote:

These days I'll just buy the cards I want from the secondary market, not going to waste time or money buying the random packs.Quote:

400 is the cut-off you want to reach so you can complete the reward soul with only a single purchase.
Looking over the list, 290/600 shouldn't be too hard to reach:
Daily (40), Trooper(40), Airstrip(50), Viral(50), Raven(50), & Gangland(60) = 290.
Cosmic (40) would add another 40, but could take multiple keys, unless you've got a team that can handle all possible class-restriction variants. That would brings us to 330 fragments.
Then you've got Labyrinth (60), Mayan (60), Infernal (70), and Eternal (80). Infernal or Eternal plus Cosmic would reach 400. Or without Cosmic, you'd need to combine any two of those dungeons. Mayan and Eternal both require multiple keys.
Are my difficulty-estimations correct? Which dungeons would you recommend to reach the 400 mark? Is Infernal doable?
Azagthor, I did all but infernal and eternal. I accidently wasted 50 frags in the store so I'm at 400 and will buy the last 200. I had never run Mayan or Labyrinth before. Mayan isn't too bad if you have the toons, but 3 run limit means at least 5 keys, and I had 3 losses. Didn't have Necropolis for achievement but did run Mayan priestess for that credit.
Labyrinth was a bitch trying to run all toons for the 3 achievements. Lots of losses but I got the runs I needed for this. Not sure if I could have completed infernal or eternal, bit after wasting those 50 frags there was to point in trying.
I think that if you are missing some or most of the available characters in this event, you should try a different strategy. Instead of trying to reach achievements simply try to complete the number of runs needed in the dungeons to get your holiday fragments. If you have the right teams, of course try to also complete achievements along the way.
Infernal is pretty easy with most newer Assassin class 5 stars.... Eternal Champ, Dark Lilith, Prince Wrath, Beast, Van Helsing, Cosmic Shinobi, etc. It's do-able without these, but if you have these, it's kind of a snap.
Bought the last 200 frags needed and pulled Pharaoh Ramesses. With all the grinding, SoT, keys, and $20 cash that was a very expensive pull. Just happy as hell it wasn't another Van Helsing.
Back to grinding Tiny Tim dungeon for a few days. Have all the toons except for Coalgiver, which kinda pisses me off. About 140 souls opened so far and think the odds are about half a percent to get him on each soul, so 5% for each 10 pack.
The daily dungeon is the one you get from a key earned by completing all the daily challeges.
The cosmic dungeon is from a talisman key. It's the dungeon you have to use a specific ific class only team.
Did some first runs in the Maya "dungeon" because of this event. What a stupid coin toss "dungeon", really. Thanks Bakura and Stromseye for your other post. I used Strom's team, but also have several defeats (when I lost the toss and/or magus crimean soldier did not get an extra turn). Labs on Shaman often block all 6 attacks from my Necro...they get one extra turn after the other. This level is a pure rip-off (50 SoT!?!?) in my perspective and I am happy if I never need to go here again (despite dropping some keys (even for maya, lol) as rewards is a nice thing).
Darkmoon Lilith wipes out the Shaman team easily. Add Prince Wrath and get the atk boost, and crave from his passive, plus his Perfect Death infliction. Use VHE (or Celestials) to block damage in case you lose the coin toss.
For the achievements (not just this event) I found fighting in the Necropolis dungeon easier. I used the Necropolis dungeon to complete both achievements.
Thanks yup, but I have none of these (apart from VHE...see my sig), and of course I also want to do the missions to use a priest and necro....
As I said, I use storms team with Alex (Orbit), magus crimean (greed/warlord), warrior maya (celest) and necro (viper). Works good, but it is not 100%
There's another team out there that uses the count. On manual put crave on necropolis and its lights out on him
Yeah the Shaman dungeon is rough for the achievements. Necropolis can be easier once you realize permadeath helps.. and block Physical/True damage and they can't hurt you -- Orbit and Siege talismans help there.
For what it's worth.. Scrooge ed, with his passive to remove gold buffs when hit.. REALLY comes in handy in several dungeons. He's now my go to Ed for LOL 14-15. I ran him in the Shaman dungeon and he worked well.. but I did have Darkmoon Lilith and Prince Wrath along.
The team I used was Angel Ed, count Dracula, necropolis, mayan priestess. Use counts power move to put crave on necropolis and hit with necropolis.
This event is nothing more than a flat out cash grab.
You have to complete all of the tasks to earn enough frags to get ONE holiday soul. You can also buy 1 soul for 60$ or so... (depending on your exchange rate etc.) Or you can buy shards and complete tasks to get ONE holiday soul. Past that you can get 5* cosmic runes, skill shards, or awakening souls for these fragments. Yeah... not worth it.
Devs basically yall did a really nice job of saying here's a set of tasks for a chance to get one of five fairly rare characters that most of you will want to have, BUT here's the thing only part of you will be able to get without any problems. The rest of you will have to spend money to buy the additional shards you can't collect.
Devs... I think you MISSED it here. The people that don't need to spend money are the ones that for the most part already HAVE these characters.
Toss that onto the pre-existing grind quest and the SoT cost there and yeah yall fecking blew it. Then again why should we the fans and the players be surprised by this showing of managements true colors yet again. The greed is obvious.
For what its worth I am not bothering to complete this one. Once I realised the following I decided it was a waste of time, basically it went I have to do all the tasks, I don't have all the keys, the probability of completing one or two tasks is slim, and I had already spent money on the game to attempt to get a character I actually wanted. And while I didn't get a magus hierophant I got 3 sets of the light talisman and would happily have traded all three sets for the hierophant...
Yep, bad event. I haven't completed any part of it. Or even started.
Finished with Tiny Tim's, ran Words of Warning yesterday for Gold, now farming LoL XV.
How about an event that drops LOW-level materials, like 2* evo Runes?
I've completed all the dungeons buy only received 400 holiday souls instead of 600. I Completed all of the sacrifice challenges & only received 4 celestial talismans instead of 5. I'm getting sick of it now. I have put in support tickets
Any chance you accidently made purchases you thought were with snowflake frags but it was holiday frags? I know I did by accident and one other person mentioned they made the same mistake.Quote:

Gathered up the frags, got a worthless dupe, just as expected. Really wish this event was like the 3rd anniversary celebration one where you could actually choose which character you want, instead of RNG picking it for you. So, still no Ramesses for me.
10 min. before the end of the event I finished the last fight in eternal dungeon (with heavy losses and some revives though). But it was totally worth it. Got from holiday soul ‘aces bomber’ 😇🤘🏻.
Awesome.
I ended up getting bored and doing this event. It was fun getting into some of the dungeons I hadn't tried yet.
End result is I'm doing Viral so I can get the Eddie for Gangland. Also working on getting the new Eternal characters.
