Midwinter Festivities Summary
Trick to Get Rewards
This is just my personal experience so it might not work for you. A lot of people have already tested this and it’s working for all of them!
- The Final Rewards are usually placed in the outer ring & middle ring (Red/Orange).
Blue, cyan, and red are where rewards are often found. - 2 continuous Islands almost never have the rewards getting placed in the same tile.
- Final rewards are often placed next to the corner (cyan tiles)!
So the priority is: Blue → Cyan → Yellow → Red → Orange → Purple → Last island reward’s tile.

Tips:
- Once you start the battle, you cannot quit so if it’s going bad, you can exit the app and re-enter the game to save time.
- There is no limit to how many times you can re-attempt the fight. At the end of the fight, the game will ask whether you want to restart or take the rewards!
- You can look at the event log to see what other players are using to get their keys.
Niru Skills
- Death Call: Niru deals a single high damage attack against the enemy with the lowest health. The enemy will suffer 2% more damage for every 1% of health they have already lost.
- Life Leech: Niru reaps enemies’ souls and deals AoE damage to nearby enemies. 80% of the total damage dealt is then converted into shields that are utilized by himself and his allies, which exist for 5 seconds.
- Soul Reaper: Niru reaps non-summoned enemies’ souls when they die, raising his Attack Rating and Defense Rating by 20% until the end of the battle. When Shemira or Daimon die, the value gained is multiplied 3 times.
- Soul Banishment: Defeating 2 of 3 bosses shall cause the final remaining boss to disappear and release all of its remaining rewards.,
Daimon Skills
- Soul Feast: Daimon deals damage to all enemies and then uses his Blood Shield ability against 3 enemies with the highest maximum health values.
- Blood Shield: Daimon steals 20% max health from the enemy with the highest maximum health and converts it into a shield that exists for 5 seconds (health stolen does not kill the enemy). Once the shield has expired, its remaining shield value will be returned to the enemy as health.
- Inanimate Companion: Daimon uses his doll, Switchy to attack an enemy 3 times, each attack deals damage to the enemy, with the final attack causing the enemy to become stunned for 3 seconds.
- Soul Banishment: Defeating 2 of 3 bosses shall cause the final remaining boss to disappear and release all of its remaining rewards.,
Shemira Skills:
- Blizzard: Shemira summons a blizzard that deals damage to nearby enemies over 12 seconds.
- Soul Siphon: Shemira continuously leeches life from an enemy target, dealing damage once every 0.5s to them, also permanently stealing 3% of their Attack Rating.
- Inner Yearning: Each time Niru and Daimon have collectively been dealt a certain number of strikes, Shemira will unleash a “Blizzard”. Using this “Blizzard” does not affect the cooldown time of Shemira’s original “Blizzard” ability.
- Soul Banishment: Defeating 2 of 3 bosses shall cause the final remaining boss to disappear and release all of its remaining rewards.
The Frosty Isles
1. Players can acquire Glacial Keys via the Forsaken Winter event, completing Daily Quests or playing The Snowy Front adventure.
2. Players are required to choose an ultimate reward on each new floor before they can begin opening slots.

Should I Get The New Winter Skins?
Shared by Whitesushii!
With the exception of Niru’s skin which is received from “Forest Mania”, obtaining the other two skins come at some form of trade-off by sacrificing other rewards. Notably, getting both of the other skin would mean having to give up a Celepogean which is rather significant. Now should you get it? Skins theoretically don’t give any advantage but as you can see from the Twins skin fiasco, there is the possibility it does although Lilith will fix it eventually. As such, I wouldn’t really make the decision based on the possibility that the skin is bugged and you should in fact do it if you like the aesthetics. Just know that you will be giving up at least 60 faction emblems for the first skin and potentially a Celepogean for the second!
Personally, I quite like the Daimon skin and I use Daimon a lot so I might pick it up (not entirely sure). Compared to the Twins skin previously, this time you give up 60 faction emblems instead of 80 which feels like a discount. As for the Shemira skin, I don’t use her much so I won’t consider it at all but obviously, collectors may want to get all 3 of them
