Before I spend another 1,000 Event Keys that the devs refuse to return to me (despite my literally deriving zero benefit from them), I thought I’d ask to be absolutely certain…

**Can anyone confirm that the Holiday Event troop, “Azaleus,” is in Event Chests this week?**

While I’m at it, have the previous Holiday Event troops been released into any chests yet? From oldest to newest, they would be: Yue-She (Shentang), Azaleus (Vulpacea) and The Sandstone Sentinel (Drifting Sands).

Is there anywhere we can look, to confirm these releases into chests, that doesn’t involve me posting an explicit question?

Thanks in advance.

No mention of Sandstone Sentinel ~~and Gingeraxia isn’t available either to add to the fun until probably weekly reset~~. As for the actual question.. sorry can’t help, don’t really have a reason to pull keys.

Confirmed!

I got the one copy I needed to bring it up to 4x Mythic. About 100 Event Keys.

Thank you for the info! \<3
