Agree, now is totally disaster. NF really wants to squeeze us......
For me, I am just lazy to farm those dungeons.
But in the end, I still have to start farming.
Thank you again.

I'm still very new to awakening and Frontier LoL, but those awakening packs seem like really good value for the low level ones, and incredibly expensive for the highest ones. As the price in awakening fragments increase, the amount of shards decreases.
I spent a bit of time in LoL XI and LoL XII yesterday, for the Tiny Tim fragment event. Decided to track my loot drops, because I'm a massive nerd. Still sifting through all the data, but noticed a few interesting things:
- Light talismans don't drop on XII, only on XI.
- Only Warrior soul fragments drop on XII, but XI has Warrior, Magus, Sentinel, and Heroic fragments.
- XI can drop a single SoW.
- XII drops enough SoT to effectively reduce the entry cost from 20 down to 15.
- While neither were great for coloured awakening shards, XII was slightly better for colourless, as expected.
- The big fancy LoL Awakening Material can drop on XI.
I'm still not able to farm XIII, but XII isn't too much more difficult than XI. Startfires still work incredibly well against the waves that attack you first. Only real slow point is Lilith's Brave talisman, you have to kill her twice. (Unless you have a fully awakened Dark Lilith who prevents all reviving, but if you already have her, you're not going to me messing around with XII anymore!)
I'm also still new to farming LOL for awakening, but unless I'm misunderstanding the value of the 10 colored material (forget what they are called), buying the individual awakening items for frags seems better at any level except maybe the 1000 frag. From all of the awakening souls I've opened you get the 10 colored and 4 different random materials. Even the expensive 1000 frag bundle gives 4 high level material. I'm pretty sure the cost averaging is much less expensive to just buy what you need and not souls. That is, unless those colored shards are insanely impossible to farm?
Deathdealer, the colored evo shards are not impossible to farm, but you need 375 per toon. So you will need to extensively farm other dungeons or LoL. Its all a choice on where you want to farm. You will also need extra shards to evolve all other new toons you may want.
Buying all the awakenable materials will become very costly using awakenable frags with all the availavle awakenable toons and future releases.
W LoL is a very useful toon. The choice to buy the materials outright now compared to try earning some while building shard inventory is a tough choice. It is wise to save some frags for when you really need them to awaken a toon. Inventory management is key to how fast you can progress.
Spending all your shards to awaken one level vs saving for toons acquired is hard. Instant results vs long term goals is always a trade off. The maniacs who have all the maxed awakenables have either played a long time and had stockpiled resources or spent some real money to earn them. That also goes with investing lots of play time.
Each drops different level materials.
Fred, yes I am one of your troopers. I believe all keyed LoL levels drop awakening frags. I havent paid attention to how many frags drop in either level.
Only farmed XI and XII myself so far, but have been told how many XV drops. Could guess at the other two, but I'm sure someone who actually knows can fill in the gaps. They're guaranteed drops, always the same every time.
XI = 3, XII = 5, XV = 20.
Also, while running XI the other day, I threw this together. Was interesting to see only the final wave had any talismans.

I have max awakened them all. I got both Lucifer and Dark Lilith from event and I used all my reserves to max awakening them. My other awakening enabled chars are very low level. So in the beginning of the last week they were the only maxed chars I had. And Moonchild was not so expensive to awaken.
Many have all three maxed because they either got lucky and pulled Lucifer and dark lilith or they spent ironite by grinding or buying frags. They ones who do this have probably played awhile and earned moonchild in the gauntlet.
If they have been playing awhile they probably had cached resources of gold and evo shards. They grinded the LoL dungeons for the awakenable materials. To be on top is not cheap and you have to be willing to spent alot of time in the game. This is a freemium game where real money gains you an advantage.
When you get enough frags for moonchild and create a soul, you will see the soul and next to it the final awakening frags. They come with moonchild. You do not have to earn them beyond earning moonchild in gauntlet. There was a whole stupid thread about this that got locked a month ago. Just get moonchild and enjoy playing.
What is the benefit of running LOL XV vs just running XIV, if any. I still get occasional deaths in XV so do t want to run it unless I have to. Also just noticed that out of about 30 5* class specific evo shards I have zero magus. Have enough 5* for every LOL but not one single magus.
Anyone able to offer suggestions on a team that can successfully auto XIII and XIV? My biggest issue is that I don't have Charlotte yet (is there an easier way to get her that doesn't require a crazy amount of iron tokens?). As far as the other characters, here's what I do have at the moment:
Alexander Eddie - Steel/Paralysis (still working on a full set of Orbits)
w LOL - Viper (still working on a Cosmic that will be useful for him)
KP - Vorpal/Ruin/Cosmic (I haven't seen any Greeds yet).
A few others of note:
Madame - Singularity
Gambler Eddie - Yin/Yang
BH Eddie - Light/Cosmic (the T3 from the recent event)
Clairvoyant - Alchemy
Golden Sun (gunner) - Primordial
Please feel free to check my profile (Huzya-8012). I'm a relatively new player still... and admitedly a noob. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and Happy Holidays!
I used 4 keys during the last days for the event achievement and to finish the warrior LoL mission. After that I switched to a faster team (Gambler, KP, A.Werewolf, Charlotte) with only one loss and a new personal record (56 seconds!). Everything in LoL 15.
Most of the time I was embarrassed with the drops when I watched the screen. So often I just saw some 1* awakening stuff...for the hardest level? I also got several corlorless 5* shards, I think the drop rate here is ok. But again not a single colored 5* shard from 4 keys...~200 runs!? So much time and Ironite for SoT with so little rewards.
I also opened 10 awakening souls and got a total of 4 colored 5* shards, of course including 2 red ones as I have a maxed red LoL already. I bought magus LoL to hit the event mission for spending FC. With all the runs I did so far in the dungeon I could not even awaken him once! Easy to buy some of the low * shards, but still...this feels wrong.
Dear devs, please rethink the drops in this level, and maybe also from the awakening souls. At the moment it is pure frustration. Thanks!

I've run like 3000 LOL, mostly XII, XIV, and now XV. I ran XIII like 4 times and from what I recall, if you don't have Starfire talismans you may be better off skipping to XIV.
what happens when you try XIV now, with Alex, w LOL, KP, and maybe Madame with Singularity? If you go back through all of these posts I know there were a few Alex teams, but most use Orbit. Think their were Gambler teams, but again Orbit probably was involved.
At the moment, I'm stuck on XIII. I'll try it again tonight and see if I can get more info on where exactly my team gets squashed.
It took me more than 5000 runs to max all the LoLs but finally here I am. Now just 300 runs between me and and LucyAttachment 7258
What a grind this is! For those who have been playing the game for a long time, it was a lot easier. For younger players like me, it has been a ridiculously hard challenge. It costs so much gold just to get enough talisman up to speed. And then the cosmic talisman?! Then it takes more than 20 million gold to get a character fully evolved?! I am only about half way to getting Lilith! Congrats on those who have her and are kicking my ass. Seems like everyone has Moonchild, Lilith and Lucifer in the Arena. My complaint about the game is that there is not enough variability in team builds because of the continued OP characters that come out! I think it detracts from the game, honestly.
You are not alone. I think alot of us who have not been playing since day one, found it hard to catch up to the original players..... but it can be done.
I started in July 2018, about a year and a half or 2 years after it started. But with a little $ and much time invested you can catch up. Getting all the relics and the majority of new toons & talis will do it.
I knew when characters became Awakenable, that would possibly discourage new players or overwhelm them, but many have acquired these New toons and leap frogged their way into the top arena.
The game has advanced at a rapid pace since Navigator Games took over a year ago. So many new dungeons, talismans, and characters, plus Awakening.
Be patient and have fun!
Having everything or winning doesn't make one person better than another..... so don't let it get you down. Just keep going.... Besides, even more advanced players can fall behind if they don't stay current.
It seems the Devs are trying to keep the older players interested while attracting and retaining new players.
The divide is ever increasing.
It would be fun if instead of clans, that they create new arena divisions, and that they would also award cool prizes, or even older characters and talismans (ie. a Horus & Eternals.) Maybe similar requirements that they have in the Arena event challenges.
For example:
*Battle w/ originally 3* or 4* toons only
*Battle w/ Sentinel/Assassin toons only (like in gauntlet)
*Battle w/ all passives disabled
*Battle with no revives or healing
*Battle w/ magic damagers only, etc.
You get the point.
Maybe this would level the playing field or make it more challenging..... if anything "different."
Good Luck.... hang in there!

I believe they upped the cost. I didn't start doing the high level awakenings until last week so I've never see the lower cost, but recall seeing some negative comments on increased costs somewhere like a month ago.
thanks for info, thats one helluva price increase
I think the Arena specific challenges would be a very interesting addition. It would make the game more strategic (coming up with the right combination of characters--not just combining the latest OP characters). Patience is definitely a virtue in the game. I started LOTB last year just prior to the Gunner Krampus Christmas event. I've made good progress, but I'm definitely challenged with getting above 4500 in the Arena, since I do not have Moonchild, Lucifer or Dark Lilith.
I only try during arena events but thats just if there's the typical win 100-800 challenge, but do agree that would be fun to have those restrictions if it was different for each rank level, funnest part is when my defense is what gets me up in levels.
though my cryptonite is gunner minotaur: never beaten one as one hit has wiped my entire team, though that was before i got the starfire/frontier talisman and wrathchild
The most updated Awakening stages for LoL is on page 18, here's the link:

As stated in that post, there is about 300 gold difference in cost for Assassin vs. the other LoL's.
