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.

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.
