The devs are working on a fix as we speak.

last time in the Deep Hive.

This time:

3,200 to get epic to mythic  
5,200 to get legendary to mythic  
5,800 to get ultra-rare to mythic  
7,600 to get rare to mythic

9 epics from Faction shop, sitting on 10 Mythic Ironjaw after

Big difference on every number, but less shard cost for the rares. Interesting.

Forgot to write down treasure count before pulling though.

So the kingdom was released broken as well as Tartarus’ 3rd trait. Always good to see things tested before release 👍

Testing cost money!  
Why you should invest money if you can use the players as betatesters 😇

Good its just a game and not a medical device or a plane

Earned 27,400 shards since last delve.  
Spent them all because why not?

Received:  
98 CP  
331 GR  
179 PC  
84 KC  
44 GL  
15 ST

Enough to take hoard to 299, but I only wanted to go to 200 so I used 15 ST, 44 GL and 16 KC to get exactly lv 200. Gold cost was only 1,608,000. I’ll update post with how much gold I make taking delve to 500.

Interesting note: Last delve I spent 5 more SC and gold cost was 229,000 less.

anyone else notice that the Depths of Sin artwork(backdrop) doesnt match at all with its place in the underworld? the backdrop is of the center volcano but the delve is placed along the coastline…

Junky artwork probably suits a tedious delve team.

Another mediocre at best faction team.  
1 troop deals -some- damage with its spell.  
1 troop generates mana, a bit garanteed for your team, but likely to create an extra turn for your opponent.  
1 troop generates skulls, mostly for your opponent  
1 troop removes skulls to gain some life and armor, oh goody.

If the goal was to outlast your opponent this team might have something going, but it’s pretty weak imo.  
(On a side note, I have the same problem with Whitehelm in this weeks Raid. Few troops which deal damage and none of them scale.)

Patience  
Ethereal Sentry  
Gargoyle  
Earth’s Fury.

EF zaps ZG’s armour and boosts everyone’s Attack, especially Gargoyle.

ES also boosts Gargoyle’s Attack.

Patience kills ZG, then Gargoyle wastes the rest 👍

Just like The Deep Hive, I enjoyed this one as well. I know the devs have hit obstacles trying to make previous Pure Faction runs less soul crushing (please keep trying & save me from Crypt Keepers) so I appreciate what’s been done with these newer ones. Thanks.

EVERY delve should only require 3 rooms to complete like this one did.  
Devs you’ll never know how much more enjoyable you make the Faction by designing it that way. Because you’ll never know how much more of a grind a 4 or 5 room faction can be.  
And by the looks of the current leaderboards, it doesn’t seem to be hurting you “gems economy” wise.

In fact, I can argue that more gems are spent when Factions are 3 rooms required than when they are 5.

@Saltypatra @Kafka I believe the wrong data was linked to the in-game announcement about Depths of Sin becoming available. (This looks like a new Legendary troop announcement, from the “?” button.)

I am just grateful it was 3 rooms (later on because I dont have the gems to shortcut until level 300). But it was all in all not too bad. Horde 100 was plenty…1st pure fight at faction was a success and it didn’t take long at all. Happy
