#### BEAUTY CONTEST

**New Epic Troop: Horned Hag**

[![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/7/e/7e8d2d8195a0511d9a7a9d594d048f5abd3b43a1.jpeg)](https://gemsofwar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/HornedHag.jpg)

The Horned Hag will be available this week for 400 Glory in the shop as well as in Event Chests, and will appear in Glory, Gem, and Guild chests in 3-4 weeks’ time.

![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/optimized/3X/9/2/9210b22576b950c38231f287a290333677c9bcf4_2_690x34.png)

**World Event: Hidden Treasures**

There are 6 battles that players can encounter during the event: Hag, Plaguecrafter, Sister Ebony, Night Hag, Sycorax, and Horned Hag. The first 5 battles are randomly chosen, but they all have an equal chance of appearing on the map.

The battle against the Horned Hag will only appear after the player wins 4 of the other battles. However, her battle will not hang around; if you don’t fight her immediately, she will vanish! Either way, after that, all battles reset, and you’ll need to fight another 4 to spawn the Horned Hag again.

_Scoring_  
You can find the following rewards for each of the different battles you may encounter.

- Hag: 1 Crystal
- Plaguecrafter: 4 Treasures
- Sister Ebony: 6 Treasures
- Night Hag: 2 Crystals
- Sycorax: 8 Treasures
- Horned Hag: 3 Crystals

Each Treasure is worth 3 points, and each Crystal is worth 10 points.

**Available in Chests after Weekly Reset: Nexus Kingdom Pass Troops**

King Heliodor, Waterborn Priestess and Stoneborn Lion will become available as possible drops from Glory, Gem, Guild (at correct Levels for their rarities), and VIP Chests after weekly reset. They will also appear in Event Chests during Nexus event weeks.

Infinity Plus Two has repeatedly been found to sell loot boxes missing the best items or containing them at significantly lower than advertised odds. They always deny this at first, deliberately spread misinformation and ultimately refuse to communicate further once enough proof has been presented. Avoid spending money on this event, you may receive something inferior to what you paid for, their support will just close and lock your compensation request.

For the most recent case of faulty loot boxes and how they were handled, see [this thread](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/spin-me-right-round/72024) and [this summary](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/arachnean-weaver-compensation/72178).

_Beauty Contest!_ Awful outdated sexist title. Even for a game. So out of touch with anything reasonable in title terms. Think about your titles . Think about your game. The values you should responsibly espouse. There are plenty of fun word choices for tiles without implicit sexism.  
To the Consumer Alert above; I add a Values Alert- what values?

And while you are not thinking, as an accident, fix the terrible server speed, as a non negotiable.

There’s a pattern. This gimmicky bull shit scoring has occurred at least 2 Guild Wars weeks in a row.

Taking advantage of players being distracted is almost as scum bag of a tactic as racking in millions and not spending any of it to improve the infrastructure of the game.

My explore mode still crashes daily and game is back to 1x speed thanks to the intended lag. 👍

When is the title **‘Silent Treatment’** coming for an event? Would fit the Devs as well as Moderators quite well.

I am frustrated yes, you got me right.

Defeated Horned Hag, so the board reset, and this is what it reset to:

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/b/a/ba19e4d362133fc106b67a524347a07c0137b214.jpeg)

Merry Christmas to me? After I did the first and second Sycorax, I got another Sycorax. So I just did 4x Sycorax in a row before Horned Hag spawned. Given that the enemy points don’t scale with level, 4x Sycorax is the most points (8 treasure \* 3 points \* 4 spawns = 96 points) you can get in between Horned Hags.

Is Hawthorn available, too?

According to the original post, he should have been in chests for a long time already.

 ![Screenshot_20220215_013031](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/5/9/59778c184a8f43d8a949e338e971479ab171afac.jpeg)

But neither me nor my guildmates have managed to pull a single copy of him. Is it a bug or just bad luck?

It took me 2000 glory keys to get a single Stoneborn Lion! That is a horrible luck I think as it is just an UR?

It took me about 1000 gem keys to get my first Waterborn Priestess, luckly a King Heliodor got dropped as well, as I did not expect nor aim for.

Wouldn’t surprise me in the least if they forgot about him. Be interesting how they handle this one. Many keys spent hoping to pull x y and z but z wasn’t in there.
