This thread is to provide early insights and discussion on the new Tavern of Legends Event.

Notice About Quest Bosses & Enemies

zephyr1: zephyr1: I asked the Small Giant Staff if the version of the Tavern of Legends Quest seen in Beta will be the same one released initially and it will NOT. There will be a second version of the Quest released initially, like happened with the Masquerade Costume Quest. So any information you’ve seen posted about the Bosses for the Tavern of Legends Quest is incorrect for the version we’ll have live this month. Full information will not be available until the Quest goes live.

Planned Schedule for Tavern of Legends Event

There’s no official announcement yet, but we have indication that May 22 is the tentative date.

zephyr1: zephyr1: I asked the Small Giant Staff what the intended schedule and duration for the Tavern of Legends event is, and got back the answer that it’s intended to be a 72-hour event starting on a Friday and ending on a Monday. The exact timing relative to other events hasn’t been finalized yet, but it’s currently expected to fit into the monthly cycle. As always, please heed the reminder that this information is not finalized, and the schedule is subject to change, including after initial release.

zephyr1: zephyr1: I think May 22nd is pretty likely, even if the longer term schedule might get tweaked. I have confirmation from the Small Giant Staff that there’s a sneak peek announcement with the official date coming.

zephyr1: zephyr1: But from what I’ve heard from SG Staff so far, the first Tavern of Legends is more likely to be later this month, potentially May 22. There’s supposed to be an official sneak peek and announcement coming.

zephyr1: zephyr1: And yes, as I’ve said a few times, there’s no official announcement yet, but one is expected this week, and May 22 is the likely date based on what I’ve heard from the Small Giant Staff, but is subject to change.

Don’t get too attached

Details from Beta, especially brand-new Beta content, don’t tend to be very reliable for actual release.

It’s incredibly common that features are changed during Beta testing, or sometimes even after testing but before release. That is, after all, the purpose of Beta testing.

So I wouldn’t get too attached to any of this — it’s not unheard of for entire portions of features to be removed or reworked, or for radical changes to functionality to be made.

New Secret Legendary Hero

The Legends Summon Portal includes a 0.1% chance of summoning a “secret” Legendary Hero.

The Hero’s artwork is blacked out in Beta, and the Hero’s name is listed simply as “???.”

Legendary 5*

Element: Dark/Purple

Stats: 772 / 725 / 1332

Class: Rogue

Absorb Memorize Status Ailments – This hero has an innate ability to absorb memorize status ailments. The latest 5 status ailments that are cast on the Hero will stay absorbed memorized until the Special Skill is cast.

NOTE FROM FIRST VERSION: A few Beta testers pointed out that this innate ability was likely confusingly named — “absorbing” sounds like the Hero wouldn’t receive the status ailment themselves, but they do. They also “absorb” it for use in casting themselves, but they aren’t immune to the ailments.

UPDATE: Clearly the game designers agreed with the Beta feedback about the confusing “absorbed” usage, and have changed it to “memorized.”

Speed: Very Fast

Special Skill: Absordium Deflectors

Deals 107% damage to all enemies.

All status ailments absorbed memorized by the innate ability are cast to all enemies.

Additional Information on ???

As of the second Beta, the Secret ??? Hero can now memorize status effects from every source:

Minions, stolen status effects, passive skills, items etc.

Tavern of Legends Quest

The Tavern of Legends Quest is special one, a bit different than any existing quests — it has a Special Rule:

Hero Roster Mastery

Each Hero can only be used once during this quest. Heroes are considered used when you start a quest battle. The battles will get increasingly difficult, so plan your Teams carefully!

NOTE: I confirmed in Beta that this includes if you fail a Stage. So if you need to retry a Stage, you’ll have to select new Heroes for your Attack Team.

April 9 Update: The Recommended TP amounts were adjusted in Beta. They’re noted below as old and new.

Stage WE Recommended TP Legends Coins 1 4 1800 10 2 4 1900 2100 10 3 5 2400 2500 15 4 5 3400 2800 15 5 6 4100 3200 20 6 6 4200 3500 20 7 7 4300 3800 25 8 7 4400 4200 25 9 8 4500 30 10 10 4600 40

Relationship to Hero Academy

I asked the Small Giant Staff to explicitly confirm that Tavern of Legends doesn’t mean Hero Academy has been scrapped:

zephyr1: zephyr1: I have confirmation back from the Small Giant Staff that Hero Academy is still in the works. The exact timing for Beta testing isn’t certain yet, but it’s currently expected in late April or May.
