Nope, new mythic is from Merlantis Undine ---

> [@Strat](#): > > I had always thought Event Chest worked that way on purpose, that the new Legendary was 1:2 of an old one. > > So to get x6 copies of her it took me 600 Event Keys, and in the process I also received x16 copies of WebSpinner. Almost 1:3 for this example. The devs always said that the drop rate is the same for old and new legendary but its definately hard to believe. And when the new legendary is the 3rd released in a kingdom, its even worst. Congrats for ascending the troop to mythic. For me it was not an option as I needed ~400 Event keys to just pull 1 copy! šŸ˜– ---

I also tried both new troop for daily task and it was surprisingly nice and fun Webspinner Tomb spider Giant spider Widow queen The poison x3 damage + hunter mark is brutal ---

Thanks, it may be they indented it that way. I was just referring to my personal experience specifically using Event Keys to pull new Legendries, but my sample size is small: only a few thousand Event Keys, so they could easily be the same. Just as an future FYI the taransworld chest data is not a reliable source with regard to what is actually on Console, never has been. ---

Yeah Iā€™ve used: Tomb Spider Dark Maiden Talā€™Rae Widow Queen And Webspinner Dark Maiden Tomb Spider Widow Queen Both fun, but lose a troop and the flaws in the Queens kit become very obvious. ---

I ended up decided to set Widow Queen on Guild War blue day. The team isā€¦ Tomb Spider/Sunbird/Forest Guardian/Widow Queen. The reason for this team is because itā€™s buffed beast week. Double buffed Tomb Spiderā€™s skull will hit hard with enemy suffered from both web and hunterā€™s mark. Widow Queen is only there for web inflicting, so she get intentionally mana-blocked. Thatā€™s way she canā€™t cast spell too early and wreak the team. And itā€™s on blue day because Iā€™m bored of Amiraā€™s true damage team. lol ---

Xbox One: Decided to go back and pull a few more The Widow Queens. Chest pulls seemed fine compared to that first hour. (The reason it feels fine because they werenā€™t being stingy with Tomb Spider, the event troop). Got 4 copies of TWQ in 242 keys, which hurt, but seemed ok compared to first hour. (2 in 336 + only 11 Tomb Spiders). Plenty of Webspinners though. That memory leak from pulling 1 at a time (does it apply for multiple 10/50 at a times too?) though really needs to be looked into. ---

I always have to spend at least 50 and usually 100 event keys to pull 1 of the new legendary troops (this week it was 100 I do 50 at a time as I have zero luck any other way and the 10 option has been removed ā˜¹ ) ---

Yeah, yesterday, on Xbox One, also, I was able to make the game crash while opening Event Chests in batches of ten. Second and third batches lagged the game for like ten seconds each opening, and the fourth batch froze the game and kicked me to the Xbox One Home screen. šŸ¤Ø ---

> [@TheIdleOne](#): > > That memory leak from pulling 1 at a time (does it apply for multiple 10/50 at a times too?) though really needs to be looked into. It also appears to apply to opening any amount. Memory footprint increases regardless of which one is pressed. But, oddly, only the event key screen is affected as far as I can tell. Probably not as prominent because nobody can open more than 5 batches of 10 without exiting (because if you have 51+ keys, you donā€™t even have the option to open 10 keys) and very few people can open enough batches of the other amounts to trigger it (it usually becomes a major issue only at 8+ presses). ---

> [@Mithran](#): > > But, oddly, only the event key screen is affected as far as I can tell. Iā€™m not versed in _code wizardry_, but maybe it has something to do with how the request to pull the troops from the table is handled and how it calculates each possible drop since the Event Chests need to self-updated on each passing week? Again, i have just some very basic knowledge in this area, but i can only imagine this spike of memory usage is due some old and untouched piece of code still being used instead of receiving some proper review and fix/rework. ---

Yep, this bug is exclusive to event chests. ---

Please [bump the bug thread](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/severe-memory-leak-when-opening-event-keys-1-at-a-time/37036/24) for the memory leak. Post every time it happens. The devs respond most quickly when players keep the issue in their face. Soulforge received a change 8 days after the first thread complaining about it, and weā€™ve worked for 5 months to try and get the rest of the promised changes (ā€œsometime this yearā€). We need a few hundred more posts in the event key memory leak thread before it ā€œlooks like an issueā€. ---

To follow up on that, the result of that team is quiet good for Branket 9! ^^ ![40](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/4/f/4f65d5af2038eccb968b2bff1a34967988b982e5.png) It might mostly due to fast & self-healing Sunbird than new troops, but Iā€™ll never know. šŸ˜› Just wish Blue day come after Friday instead of Thursday, so I could test my new Undine card! ^^ Still able to set full-yellow Bard-Dawnbringer team on Sundayā€™s yellow war though. So there is that! šŸ™‚ [Previous page](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/spiderbait-weekly-event-post/37773.md?page=3)
