# Current Event - “Knightly Summons”

Basically, use Princess Elspeth in PvP to summon Knights. Other troops should work, like Sir Gwayne, but Elspeth is probably the safest bet.

# Current Event - “Lessons in Summoning”
**Week** : August 21st 2017
**Goal** : Summon troops in _PvP_ or _Explore_.
**Where** : Anywhere in PvP or Explore.
Make sure you use summoning troops. A team of fully-traited Elspeths helps a lot, especially if you don’t mind losing. Remember that, win or lose, you have to finish the fight to earn snotgems.

My fastest strategy so far has been entering an explore battle with 4 Elspeth (Lion Banner), cast the top Elspeth on herself and then keep the top-most Elspeth that is ready to fire to sacrifice the first troop.
If no Elspeth is ready to ready to fire, try to win the battle. As soon as you leave and can start a new match, you’ll gave Elspeths ready to fire again.
EDIT: On second thought, it’s probably better to sacrifice the last Elspeth and whatever troops occupy that spot.
