War of Wits Event
- War of Wits is the new type of card-drafting PvP event.
- You will get matched with another player randomly.
- 4 cards will show up on the screen and one player is chosen randomly to pick the card first.
- Relics and hero cards are both available.
- Each player will pick 10 cards.
- The unchosen cards will be leveled up in the next round but when any card hits level 7, it will be removed.
- Pick the same card 2 times to level it up. However, the hero pool is limited to 40 heroes only (scroll down) so just don’t wait for a good hero to do a combo.
- Set up the team formations using the heroes and relics you picked!
- Heroes only have 2 skills in this event. You can tap on their card to see more details.
- Heroes don’t have Signature Item or Furniture abilities here.
If an identical card is selected, the two cards will be combined, resulting in an upgraded card with the sum level of both cards combined, but cannot exceed the maximum level of 9.
When there are 3 or more heroes of the same faction or hero class in your deck (not your formation), they will all receive a special Union bonus that will take effect during battles.
Once the player has made a selection, their opponent will then pick a card. Meanwhile, any remaining, unselected cards will all be upgraded by 1 level.
Unselected cards can be upgraded 3 times, if an unselected card is upgraded for a 4th time, it will be automatically destroyed.
Available Heroes
There are only 40 Heroes in War of Wits. Each faction/role have 2 heroes and there is no hero coming from special Factions (Celestials/Hypogeans/Dimensionals).
Relics
Relics are very important because after picking your team heroes and there isn’t a duplicated hero on the table, you want to either get Relics or counter-pick your enemies, making them not able to level up their cards.
- Reduces energy recovery rate of heroes at level 3 or lower: At the moment, this relic is useless most of the time because the lowest hero level in this mode is level 3.
- Strengthen heroes level 7+: Same as above. Pretty useless because level 7 is highest and hard to get!
Bonuses
Get 3, 4, or 5 cards of the same faction/class to activate the special bonuses. You can activate multiple bonuses at once and they are all active no matter which heroes you use in the battle.
