The Pantheon of the Gods event would be a kind of successor event to the Raid Boss. In this event, the hero and his allies would enter the Mystical Forest in search of the Sacred Sanctuary to save the life of some iconic character in the franchise (I leave the story to the Devs, just as a suggestion, Sir Gwayne or Queen Ysabelle could have fallen ill and the hero, together with Luther and other allies, looked for a mystical flower in order to produce the cure).
The Mystical Forest, like Apocalypse and Primal, would not be revealed on any of the maps, but it would be explained that it is a point where Krystara and the Underworld come together, a thin veil of reality that unites both realities.
After winning some preliminary battles in the forest, the hero would find the Sacred Sanctuary (similar to the preliminary battles against ZuulâGoth, in the Raid Boss) and this is where things would change.
Instead of, in each battle, the hero encounters a single deity, as happened in the Raid Boss, there would be a Pantheon of Gods in the Sanctuary. In each battle in the sanctuary, one of these Gods would come at random.
I imagined a Pantheon with six initial Gods.
The cards representing these Gods would not have a mythical troop-colored border (like the ZuulâGoth), but rather a red border, like Doom weapons. Here are the troops I would love to see manifest.
- Yasmine.
- Gaard.
- Anu.
- Nysha.
- Zorn.
- Orpheu.
This time, they would not be avatars with the power of such entities, but the entities incarnated within the Sanctuary, thanks to the veil that would link different realities within history. His powers would resemble that of ZuulâGoth, in the Raid Boss.
For example:
- Yasmine: create skulls on the board, fill the lives of allies and hang enemies. Troops with immunities and healing would be essential against it.
- Gaard: create skulls on the board, fill the alliesâ armor and place Burn on enemies.
- Anu: create skulls on the board, increase the attack of allies and put Stun on enemies.
- Nysha: create skulls on the board, fill mana from allies and drain mana from enemies.
- Zorn: create skulls on the board and put a curse and death mark on enemies.
- Orpheu: would create skulls on the board, enchant allies and put three of the enemies in Deep Sleep (new negative status, in Deep Sleep, the affected troop cannot attack with skulls or magic for three turns, however, when three turns have passed or was hit by any kind of damage, it would âwake upâ, returning to normal).
The six Gods of the Pantheon would not be Boss type troops like ZuulâGoth, but God type. In response, a new troop type, True Godslayer, would be added to the battle ranks in order to assist the hero in your new journey.
The six troops would be available to be manufactured in the forge, but requiring different and varied resources for each one, which would give veteran players a reason to stay in the game much longer.
Itâs just a suggestion, but honestly, I would love to see these entities so special in the gameâs history, manifested in battle troops.
