Official 1p rPvE Contest - Resurrection of the Lost Soul - Difficulty 8 - DONE

[Minashigo Hiko]

Hello Skyladies, Skylords and other Skybeings,

Welcome to a Halloween-Season PvE event!

I remember, long was it ago,  
When I vanished, beneath earth's solemn throw.  
An Event Manager once, lively and grand,  
Whose absence turned into legend, across the land.

But now the Spooky Season calls my name,  
Awakening my spirit, rekindling my flame.  
A Lost Soul, rising from the earthly bed,  
With haunting ideas that fill the night with dread.

No longer gone, I’ve returned to my post,  
To host a Skylord Reborn's event, let's raise a ghostly toast.  
For this Halloween, let eerie magic unspool,  
A resurrection, from the land of the ghoul.

So come forth, brave warriors, if you dare,  
For this event promises a spine-chilling scare.  
I’m back to bring you ghoulish delight,  
Happy Haunting to all, and to all a frightful night!

I have to take T2 right, I can't just stay T1 and finish the map with Master Archer spam?

If you can make it, there is no rule the forbids you to stay on T1. Only IF you go T2, you are limited to Lost Souls units.

One of the Goals is to reach T4

(Question Added to FAQ)

[LichterLoh]

It doesn´t matter how fast we win the map right?
It´s just a winnining condition.

The actual time is based on finished construction of the T4 monument? right

[Volin]

Hey all,

you want to beat the map with a low-, no-budget deck? Lost Souls is perhapy usually not "your" color?

Fear not - come and see how you can participate easily with almost no budget here:

You don't need to see the full stream for an insight, I begin with the rpve contest.
The played deck is:

So i have a question. I know that we're not allowed to summon more units T1 units, but we're still allowed to use any T1 units that are still alive right?

Yes thats right, the clear time of the map is only looked at, when the finished construction time of the T4 monument is the same as another player.
Adjusted the Post for clarity

Yes thats right, you are not forced to instantly kill all your T1 units once you reache T2.

You are just forbidden to spawn any extra T1 units

[KrynWinterbourne]

Another question. So based off the rules, we can join up with others for this. That said, will there be any difference between a team of 4 vs a single player run reaching t4 for rewards and placements?

 

[Eirias]

Probably obvious, but t4 must be obtained by building the monument, not using amii monument, right?

 

And per @pierakor's question. You could finish the map with all master archers and then build t2-4 when the archers are already amassed, right? As long as you don't summon more of them by the time t2 is available.

Do we even need to beat the map or can we quit once t4 is up and chests are open?

This was asked before, and yes the map must be beaten. Map completion will be the tie breaker for T4 ties.

As this is sadly a singleplayer contest, you won't be able to participate with a team of 4

Yes, I corrected this in the goals.

Theoretically yes, you would need to leave 1 enemy alive tho to build up your t4 as reaching t4 is one of the goals.

There are 3 goals and you need to complete all 3:

• Goal 1: Win the Map
• Goal 2: Open all Gold Chests
• Goal 3: Reach T4 without Amii Monument (The faster, the better)

So, you would still need to win the map after reaching t4 and opening all chests

[itap]

Hey guys, one more question.

After we got t4 and completing the time challange we have to finigh the map.

Can we only use lost soul units or other units to?

As you have to complete all goals under the two restrictions, you are still restricted after reaching t4

[GevatterTODdy]

-If i hit 4 monuments and lose it, does the time count on which i finished the building first?

-replay name timer: which time u want? start of building T4; finished building T4; finished map time?

- Yes, but you still need to rebuild it before finishing map.

 

- oh my bad, will adjust this for more clarity. I was referring to the finished map timer.

 

 

[shaulani]

What's the point of the finished map timer, if you rate acording to reaching t4 as fast as possible? I'm confused now. I've finished with more than 10 minutes on the clock last time (but I couldn't find the last chest). So do I have to focus on rushing t4 or on clearing the map?

t4 15 minutes finish 20 minutes

t4 10 minutes finish 25 minutes

Who would win?

Map clear time may work as a tiebreaker. So if there are two same times for T4, then the fastest map clear wins, I believe. 

[Vrizz]

There are 3 chests or I am missing something? ^^

Yeah I was wondering that myself because I expected four.

There are only three, one on the T2/T3 position each and another one in a bandit camp.
