Formidable Foe Soul Details!

Collect 200 Formidable Foe Fragments to create 1 Formidable Foe Soul.

The Formidable Foe Soul is a limited time event soul which guarantees a 3★ to 5★ character of any class, and has an exclusive chance of summoning the Magus Fomorian, and Gunner Fomorian.

Each Formidable Foe Soul summoned will also grant the following bonus rewards:

• 10 Death’s Journey Currency
• 10 Mythical Soul Fragments
• 20 Talisman Gold Red Soul Fragments

Death’s Journey Currency can be traded for the 5★ Magus Fomorian, and the 5★ Gunner Fomorian in store! Each Fomorian costs 500 Death’s Journey Currency.

Note: At the end of this event, any unspent Currency will be automatically converted into Precious Soul Fragments at a 10% rate.

400 Talisman Gold Red Soul Fragments guarantees a Tier 1 to Tier 3 Gold or Red Cosmic Talisman and 5★ Gold Idol.

Looking for more Formidable Foe Souls? You can purchase 1,3, and 10 packs from the store for Ironite.

I like this event.

Other than buying them for gold or fc, does anyone know if the keys for Road to Valhalla are dropping as rewards from any of the other dungeons yet, since this event now has another 'Clear Road to Valhalla infinite times' task, and I'm sure most of us have already used up all our keys on the other overlapping event?

This is another really good event. It's a nice mix of "maybe I'll get lucky" and "if I'm willing to grind, I'll get the characters for sure." It feels like you're listening to us. Thank you.

Also, it turns out that King Arthur Eddie was "Do all of the challenges and do one set of the infinite grinds (100 dungeon runs)." That was really excellent. If you really wanted him, you could grind a ton on the first week and get him. If you took your time at it, there wasn't much grinding involved. Well done.

One potential issue. Can you check the passive on the Magus Fomorian? It has a benefit if Baylor or the magus one is in your team. Seems like the magus should get benefit from having the gunner on his team, not another magus.

Dank Farrik - done 240 Valhalla runs since it opened to get the Cosmic Valhalla Maiden; thought I'd be safe as the next event was a Boss Run but nope, should have waited. Will learn eventually though :P

Overlapping grinding rewards and no words about that timing.
I hate the non existing communication with the community.
We could have save so much Ironite and SOT.
You want us to burn all recourses so that we buy your overpriced packs?
Never!
Noob company!

I agree with these sentiments. King Arthur Eddie was a particularly pleasant challenge to pursue.

I'd like to see a method of choice for obtaining bespoke talis instead of the urgency in grinding - something like the cyclical Heroic souls (but please not a soul!) or the new sacrifice currency.

I got the gunner Fomorian today and can confirm that the magus passive text at least is wrong. Gunner benefits from having Magus on his team, but Magus doesn't benefit from Gunner. He benefits from Magus. It looks like a copy and paste error and that the Magus got the Gunner's passive.

What do you think about the formorians if you only acquire 1 of them? No balor, only the gunner. As a stand alone character how do they compare to other characters in your opinion? Do they have any recommended uses with other teams? Value for what talismans they can hold?
-speculate.-

I've put my Fomorians in my daily skull dungeon teams to level them up and have done some light grinding with them, but I haven't really put them through their paces yet. I'll play with them in Gauntlet next week. One thing I noticed is that they put Time Bomb on characters without attacking, which would have been helpful in the Beezlebub boss fight challenge and the recent arena challenge. Like you, I've got pretty much all of the normal soul characters (I think there are still two yellow mythical chars I don't have yet, but that's about it), so it's unlikely that the benefit from using two formorians will be worth taking Sniper or Baph or Odin, etc from my A team. Nothing about them makes them particularly useful on Baph or Odin. But I'll enjoy playing with them in early gauntlet rounds.
