Gauntlet Fall Tour - Win Gauntlet Battles to earn debut Mercy Talismans!

Attachment 8811

Earn Heroic Mythical Soul Fragments, Mercy Talismans and other Rare Rewards in the Gauntlet.

The Fall Tour starts now and will run until November 22nd 4pm PT. Battle through 11 Grades of Gauntlet, each presenting unique challenges and rewards to earn a place on our Ranked Leaderboard. The Ranked Rewards for this Special Tour will feature Heroic Mythical Soul Fragments, and our latest 6-set talisman - MERCY TALISMANS.

Mercy Talismans are yellow talismans with a 6 set effect that is not available anywhere else! Equip them to make the wearer:

Grant Immunity to all allies for 2 turns at the start of battle. Remove All Crave, Heal Reduction and Heal Block effects, including Silver and Innate effects, from each ally and Heal them for 100% of their MAX HP when each ally dies for the first time in battle. Grant the following 3 Blessings of Mercy to each ally whenever this talisman becomes active and at the start of your turn: 35% Chance to take no damage when attacked. 35% Chance to Remove a Negative Effect, including Silver effects, when taking damage. 35% Chance to gain a Random Healing or Defensive Effect, including Golden effects, for 2 turns after every action.

BONUS! For the duration of this event, Frontier Eddie Soul Fragments can be exchanged in the Event Store for Frontier Talismans

Frontier Talismans are green talismans with a 5 set effect that is not available anywhere else! Equip them to reduce all Damage taken by 50%. These talismans also permanently increase a Random Stat by 5% every turn and by 2% whenever you take damage.

Players who make it to Grade A and above will also be awarded Final Frontier Eddie Fragments!

Final Frontier Eddie Fragments can be collected over several Gauntlet seasons. Once you have 1,000 Fragments, you will earn a Guaranteed Final Frontier Eddie.

I'm noticing a pattern of Sin talismans and Heaven talismans; the 5 sets are the sin ones like prideful and envious, whereas mercy and peace are the 6 set heaven ones.

You know that whole saying about insanity is trying the same thing and expecting different results?

I think the players and the team are insane. Every major reset (Gauntlet, Arena, Clan, and Event) all come with massive delays and yet here we all are just magically expecting the game to work.

Who's expecting different results?

That used to either extend event dates or give compensation packs, to alleviate the reset issues. They don't even do that anymore.

Good observation, I had not noticed the set-size connection!

Allow me to add the Virtue 4-sets to the conversation, as they're more of a fitting counter part to the Sins 5-sets. We've only seen Temperance and Prudence so far, although I wouldn't be surprised if we eventually saw the other five, being Justice, Courage/Fortitude, Hope, Faith, and Charity/Love.

We've seen more of the Deadly Sins so far. Lust, Pride, Envious, and Gluttony, with Wrathful mentioned as being part of the ongoing Forbidden Knowledge mega-event. Which only leaves Sloth and Greed. Greed is debatable though, as it already exists as a 4-set talisman. It will either remain the odd one out, or we might see a new set called Avarice at some point.

Mercy and Peace are rather interesting, mostly due to the symbol featured on each other them. Unlike the sadly made-up sigils used to tease the Pilgrim, these two symbols are "real", and represent the angels Raphael (Peace) and Uriel (Mercy). Considering how Uriel is often associated with fire, summer, or the sun, the artwork for the Mercy talismans suggests this is no coincidence, the symbols weren't picked randomly. We know we'll be seeing Gabriel as a character soon, and I wouldn't be surprised if Raphael, Uriel, and Michael will also be gracing our screens in the future, those being the four Archangels most commonly mentioned in various different belief systems, including Anglicanism (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_Archangels). Other lists have more than four names, but those are typically more varied with less cross-over.

Another interesting to note, and all praise to the artists for this, is all three of those talisman cycles have their own unique icon frames they all use.
