[New Feature] Heroic Mode Is Now Live!

[B Legit]

Same here. Sometimes I get them with a special, and sometimes I get them with a regular. I think crystals are being treated like fusion stones where they randomly drop regardless of how the boss is killed off.

It doesn't seem that Special Attacks is needed to trigger drops from the Main Boss, so it is more beneficial to use it on the Minion just before the Main boss that drops the 4* material. Also the drop rate seems to be right around 50%, I've collected 30 fragments so far and I'd guess I've gotten frags on half of the kills, special attack or not.

@Lord P- remember these each last 28 days, dual elements won't be here for 5 months if they do the usual and run through mono's first.

Now only please raise the armor inventory slots to a minimum of 1000, as many of us can't even craft regular stuff anymore...

And then there comes one who buys more chests and wants even more armor slots. Gree doen't force you to buy chests. When i buy chests, it's because i need stuff to enhance an armor with.

This is very fun. The EB is taking a back seat as I am using up all my friends, but that is part of making having to make a strategical choice.

I am also guessing every heroic events will change the Heroic bosses. Which is great for recycling what you already have, and for new people to see the artwork.

Bag space issue is addressed with smelting. Not my first choice, but it gives us options.

I think this might be my favorite addition in K&D ever. Great Job Gree.

The only positive criticism I would give is to tune down the wars. My favorite layout was "Guild war, blitz war, raid, blitz war", rinse and repeat. Currently it in too frequent and to intense. Some say you don't have to participate in all of them, but as a guild master you have some obligations.

5/5 for Heroic mode

Good job, Gree!

Really enjoying Heroic. It would really help if you could increase armor inventory next please…300ish would be excellent.

I am really enjoying this Heroic Mode. Summoning the current Epic Boss during the fights is very helpful. What I like to do is fight to summon the boss, but would keep fighting in Heroic until I am out of health. Then I would fight the Epic Boss once I was done.

I am running out of space for armor.

Got a shock when I saw the price for Starsong Shroud 4 star from Siren drops in Heroic mode - $200000 Are you kidding me? More than double EB price with less than half the stats. Expensive fusion fodder!

Hi clementine,

With this new influx of epics from chests and this event, could someone please look at fusion chances of two epics together. Very rarely do two epics fused together produce another epic. It seems like the chances are the same for fusing 2 4* and getting one as fusing 2 5*. Another thought is to allow two of the same epic which are both maxed to be combined to get a lvl 1 + version of the same epic. This would allow for a slight extension on the use of older epics. Thank you.
!

I think they need to look at fusion chances in general (not just epic with epic) and revamp them.

Any thoughts on this Clementine/Reversal?

So far this is fun and great.

The new armors are kind of crazy high in cost for 2 ☆

[Konny]

5/5 rating for Heroic Mode from me too. I like it :-)

Maybe you haven't been playing long enough, but way back then when Starsong Shroud was the current EB, the 200k was the normal cost for the EB armors. That was lowered in August 2013 to become the current 75k. And even before the 200k, really old ones cost only 50k. The price hasn't changed from what it originally was. Also the crafting time has been different, oldest EB gear had it as 48 hours instead of the 72 hours we have had now for a very long time.

Why shouldn't Heroic mode trigger the EB? It's set up as a normal level where you grind through minions on the first 5 stages, then the boss on the 6th. Personally, I think it's great that it triggers the EB as it means no more meaningless farming of Skeleton tombs for me. I haven't tried, but I'm willing to bet that the Heroic stage in the Kindgom of Darkness doesn't trigger the EB since each stage has a boss.

Because epic boss and heroic mode health regen are on different timers.
You used to farm for levels and 3* mats for fusion at KoD exactly because the locations before it triggered epic boss and KoD doesn't.
You'll run into plenty of times now when you are full health but can't run Heroic, since it will mess up your planned epic boss run or if you do run Heroic, you will have to wait 2 hours for the boss to disappear again to run the boss safely [1]. (which could mean epic boss capped at 10 energy for part of that time) There is no optimal solution for both epic energy and health at the same time.

Last 200k one I see in my armory is Assasin. (I started at Deva)

It doesn't seem that Special Attacks is needed to trigger drops from the Main Boss, so it is more beneficial to use it on the Minion just before the Main boss that drops the 4* material.

Well, the main boss is also an old epic boss. For Relic Ruins it drops mats for an antique 2* epic boss armor, for Thieves Cove it drops mats for Chit. (yay, I can craft a Chit+! )
You will have 2 different drops from the mini bosses and main boss each location it seems, for a total of 32 different drops in the event I guess (haven't gotten around to the later locations yet).


[1] as in: you have a margin to do a 2nd run at 5 or 6 energy if you don't succeed at the 1st one.

^^^Heroic mode triggering the EB is no different than when you originally had to grind through the game. I guess I just don't see the point you're trying to make. Also, who cares about the EB now that you can pick and choose which legendaries to craft? If you are strong enough to do heroic mode, then legendaries are already just fusion fodder for you.
