New PvP Season Begins A brand new PvP Season begins today. Earn rewards from the Season of Honor Pass, and play PvP battles to complete Goals during this season. Just a reminder that when the season starts all VP will be reset to 0. Alliance Ranks will be updated to reflect this. Featured Immortal: Immortal…
Just confirming that Veles Stormborn and Blackmane Montu from last season are in their respective drop pools now?
Why would they be in their drop pools? If my recall is correct, those season-exclusive Mythic and Legendary troops are supposed to be “Soulforge only” once their season concludes.
At least in theory. Because none of the previous PvP Mythics have appeared in the Soulforge.
Oh yep you’re right!
Hmm. Hoping we can get some confirmation that they’ve been added to the rotation.
So let’s see the immortal in burning chests is now better than the featured immortal. I knew this going to happen. Yea I’m done.
I just don’t want to play PvP anymore. It’s so boring and grindy and I face the exact same teams and players constantly.
Guess I’m winding down to the point where I basically do the daily Adventure Board and the Guild Event and I’m done. I just don’t see the point in doing much of anything else in the game anymore.
The rewards just aren’t worth it and it’s become so monotonous and grindy to actually get anything useful.
Also means Bahamata/The Slime Dragon aren’t available..
Hm, so they’re stuck in a sort of purgatory right now until the current Soulforge cycle completes? That’s frustrating… I’m on the fence about whether such troops should be marked as temporarily “gated” on the Taranium. On one hand, they’re similar to other troops in that they’ll be in the Soulforge when they happen to appear. On the other hand, that could be a long time, depending on how far the cycle is from finishing.
You might want to prominently point out that they never show up in chests. I’ve seen multiple players attempting to pull one of the legendary troops with event keys. For tarot cards there’s at least some common knowledge that they are excluded, there’s no way to know for those PvP troops, they look exactly the same as other troops.
Tweaked the note about PvP Shop troops (highlighted here). Also got permission from the wonderful Shirley to use their existing PvP Troops tool, which has more information than I was including.
I find it very odd Sarathiel’s 3rd trait triggers before Immortal Libara or Amatiel’s Angel Gem creation even if Sarathiel is placed in the last slot. (Where as Khafru still triggers in the proper order)
Sarathiel’s 3rd trait is oddly specific and now is also one turn slower than it needs to be. Not sure if its a Groevanga fix side effect, but if Khafru can do the timing right, I don’t see why Sarathiel couldn’t as well….
“The Groevanga Treatment” would probably help Sarathiel tbh. Exploding 4 angel gems when matching 4 or more gems would help control the board and generate more mana after she casted. The delay and the little impact of exploding 1 angel gem doesn’t seem like it’s that impactful, and I’m not going to bother wasting gold marks on a troop that I will never use.
Please excuse my pedantry, but past tense of “cast” is “cast”. It’s like the word “cut”. Past tense is “cut” and not “cutted”.
Sorry, it’s just that I see “casted” a lot. It grates in the same way “cutted” would.
