Release Notes

[NEW & UPDATED CONTENT]

Contest of Elements Oct. 10, 07:00 UTC – Oct. 13, 07:00 UTC

Contest of Elements: Holy

• 10 stages

• Only Holy Heroes can be used

• Hero Roster Mastery (previously seen in Tavern of Legends):

  • - Heroes can be used up to 2 times in the event (Costumes are not considered separate Heroes and will share this upper limit with their “base” Hero)

  • - Contest of Elements Event Heroes can be used up to 5 times

• Battle Item capacity is doubled

Unique rules for this event:

All shields on the board — regardless of element — will release HOLY Troops when matched

Matching NON-Holy Shields:

• Gives some amount of mana to all of your Heroes

Matching HOLY Shields:

• Gives twice as much mana compared to non-Holy shields

• Always releases STRONG attacks (= as if there’s an elemental advantage)

• Charges up Elemental Chaos

Elemental Chaos

• Turns random non-Holy shields into Holy shields

• Matches generated with Elemental Chaos do not charge Elemental Chaos

Super Elemental Summon: Holy

All Holy Heroes older than 180 days are obtainable from this Super Elemental Summon. (180-day restriction does not apply to the two new Contest of Elements Heroes.)

New Super Elemental Heroes:

• Legendary

  • - Jequn

  • - Zandria

• Super Elemental Family Bonus: At the end of each turn, for every ally (including this Hero) that shares this Hero’s element, one shield of this Hero’s element turns into a Power Gem. A Power Gem will deal damage to a random enemy each turn until matched. Power Gems do not fire on the turn they spawn. New Power Gems will not spawn if there are already 5 Power Gems of that element on the board.

• Super Elemental Bonus Chest: Holy

• Test your strength against waves of enemy Heroes standing in PvP formations!

• Battle Items cannot be used

• Account level must be Level 25 or above to participate

Schedule

• The Covenant Quest is currently set to be held once every 2 months, but do keep in mind that our regular event cadence receives somewhat frequent updates. Please make sure to refer to our official event calendars (available on both our Community Forum and Support Center) for the most accurate schedule information!

• The Covenant Summon (where your Covenant Coins will see use) is currently set to run on a “travelling merchant”-like cadence, just like some of our rarer quests that recur with some regularity but do not stick to an exact schedule. Please note that its opening hours thus may or may not coincide with the Covenant Quest.
