Lunar New Year

**Lunar New Year** is the sixth of Seasonal Events, introduced in January 2023 (version 54), running during the real-time Lunar New Year – just 18 days, Thursday 19 Jan to Sunday 5 Feb. Like the other seasonal events, there are three difficulties, but due to shortened run-time with only 10 stages each; the completion rewards emblems, player avatars, Trainer Heroes, and Ascension materials.

The special daily **Lunar New Year Offers** were first announced as free only on the first two Sundays, 22 and 29 Jan; however this was changed during the event and the final 5 Feb was added also as free.

## Event Conditions

The special tiles that explode and damage the team are **Firework Rockets** this time: If matched within 3 turns, they advance **Grand Fireworks** counter. After matching 5 Rockets, it can be activated, damaging all enemies for 20% their max health.

## Event Heroes

During the event, epic hero tokens can be used in the Seasonal Summon for a chance at a Lunar Year hero based on the Chinese Zodiac animals (i. e. tiger and rabbit in 2023).

However, since there are just the two Legendary heroes and no lesser rarity, the chance to summon *any* event heroes is only 0.8%, with the rest divided between Classic heroes, so rather worse than in the other events.

## Event Stages

The Lunar New Year event features a total of 30 stages (10 per mode/difficulty) with the bosses mostly coming from the War of the Three Kingdoms family.

Zartanis has put together a list of what you can expect from each stage:

Missions

*Not to be confused with Wanted Missions, colloquially known as "Chests".*

**Missions** in Empires & Puzzles are what most games call Achivements, i. e. goals during gameplay that will afford a reward for the time and effort put in.  Requirements may range from building a Level 5 Farm, to killing the Dark Lord and thus completing Season 1.  A typical reward is a handful of gems, though some rare achievements (such as killing the Dark Lord) offer much more; on the other hand, many consist just of a player's profile avatar.

 When a mission is complete, a small red number will show on the Missions button in the bottom menu of the Base screen.  The reward may be claimed in the Missions screen by tapping "Claim" on the mission completed (it is necessary to scroll down and find the proper mission; unlike other such results, the game doesn't auto-focus).

Note: The in-game decriptions of categories are different from those listed above. The titles above were chosen for clarity and filtering purposes due to the in-game categories not being utilized to filter achievements, nor being entirely accurate. See the table for comparison.

Minions and Fiends

Some Heroes have the Special Skill or Talent to **summon Minions or Fiends**. These serve the benefits of the player's team or hinder enemy progress.

**Minions** are small friendly companions or familiars that support their "**owner**" in both defense and attack:

* Firstly, they act as a "meat shield", absorbing any damage the owner receives, until they are destroyed (Minions can't be healed, only re-summoned) either through attack damage or anti-minion Special Skills (see Category:Minion Destroyers).
* Secondly, they attack a random enemy at the end of their side's turn; while their attack is rather weaker than the Heroes', especially in larger numbers such "supporting barrage" is useful to mop up the last enemies at the edges of the field when tiles are going badly and special skills aren't available or advisable to use. (Of course, the Minions' uncontrollable nature can also make this inconvenient when the player doesn't want to kill the last enemy yet, collecting mana for the next wave.)
* Many minions have extra abilities, against the target they attack (such as removing mana or debuffing) or for their owner (healing slightly, buffing…); see the listing below.

**Mega Minions**

* A Hero can only have one Mega Minion at a time
* All existing Minions and Fiends are replaced when a Mega Minion is summoned
* Mega Minions cannot be replaced by Minion or Fiend summons
* Effects that destroy minions instead deal damage equal to 50% of the Mega Minion's max health.
* Any other effects affecting minions won't affect Mega Minions.

**Fiends** function similarly to minions but are thrown onto the enemy, dealing damage to their "**target**" each turn. As there is no way targeting them from their own side, Fiends are weakened and destroyed by healing: they block and absorb healing aimed at their targets. Some Fiends also bestow further debuffs, like slowing mana generation down or the Golden Idol Fiends of Hannah with a stun (attack down).

Both Minions and Fiends share the space above the Hero portraits or beneath enemy figures: the oldest or "outer", which receive damage first, are on the right, new ones are added from the left. The Fiends are marked by a magenta border and health bar; Minions' bar is green (no matter how low). Each character can have at most 3 Minions and/or Fiends; any summoned further "push out" and remove the oldest of the three. This can be used tactically both for good or bad.

Mana

**Mana** powers the Special Skills of both Heroes and enemies in Battle.  It is shown as the blue bar immediately under their health bar. Mana bars begin each fight empty (with some rare exceptions) and fill as the Player makes matches, or uses Mana Potions where possible.

For Heroes, the mana bar fills by matching tiles of the Hero's element. Twice more mana is gained when the tiles are 'ghosted' (when the troops launched do not hit an enemy).

Enemies – bosses, Elite Enemies, Titans, and defense teams in raids and Alliance War – gain mana either when hit by tiles, or a small amount "trickles" each turn. Standard rule-of-thumb is one tile's worth per hit, and half for idle waiting; however this apparently gets more complicated in large combos. Even more mana is gained when they are hit with their own element.

## Mana Speed

There are 5 basic levels of Mana Speed, determining how many matched tiles it takes to fill the mana bar.  Ghosted tiles (tiles that hit no enemy) provide twice as much mana as those that hit; thus for Slow it would be 12 hits or 6 ghosts.

* Very Slow:  13.5 tiles
* Slow:  12 tiles
* Average:  10 tiles
* Fast:  8 tiles
* Very Fast:  6.5 tiles

Later on, a few more complicated Speeds were added for some special Families. For now, see Category:Heroes by Mana Speed or the factsheet at forum below.

## Mana Troops

There are 4\* Troops that speed up Mana generation.  The most widespread **Mana Troops** start with +5% and increase by 2% at Level 5 and every sixth after that, so have important breakpoints in the leveling process:

1. Lvl 5:  Very Slow decreases from 14 (or 13,5) to 13 tiles
2. Lvl 11:  Very Fast decreases to an even 6 tiles
3. Lvl 17:  Slow decreases from 12 to 11 tiles
4. Lvl 23:  Average decreases from 10 to 9 tiles; Very Slow decreases from 13 to 12 tiles
5. Lvl 29:  Fast decreases from 8 to 7 tiles

Due to the nature of the match-3 gameplay, levels 11 and 23, where a lower number of moves is reached, are particularly impactful. (Source) The scarce Tower of Magic and Tower of Styx Troops give even bigger bonus but their values and breakpoints are different.

Beside Troops, Mana generation is further improved by Heroes' Talents, Costumes and some Family bonuses, which needs to be taken in account when calculating speed and number of tiles.

## Special Skills That Affect Mana

Also some Special Skills affect mana generation and/or current mana levels.  Offensively they are the Mana Reducers, while defensively they are the Mana Raisers.  There are a few heroes that raise mana generation.  They are:

Red Hood also has a unique mana skill as her minions prevent their owners from losing mana to effects that normally would drain it. The minions of Inari add some mana to their owner each turn; when Grimble destroys an enemy minion all allies get a small amount of mana as well.

Mystic Tower

The Mystic Tower is to the lefthand side of the base.  The purpose of the tower is to provide an opportunity to watch the "Mystic Vision", a short advertisement, in return for a small in game reward.  You can watch 3 videos before there is an 2 hour cooldown before you may watch another.

## Possible Rewards

   As a reward you may receive anything from 2 items, up to 5.  A typical reward includes (1) a low level ascension material,  (2) a few gems,  (3) a summon token.

It is possible to receive rare ascension materials, an epic hero token, or epic troop token.  The chances are low, but make viewing the Mystic Vision a worth the time.
Legends of Kalevala

**Legends of Kalevala** (or simply **Kalevala**) is a new Seasonal Event introduced in late June 2022. It's a mid-summer event following the tale of legendary warriors that fight against the Witch of the North to reclaim and defend a sampo instrument from her and her forces.

During the duration of the event, a Kalevala Booster is offered, which give extra rewards after the completion of stages in the Seasonal Event.

## Event Quests

Like the other Seasonal Events, Kalevala has 60 total stages split into 3 difficulties and have rewards that span from crafting materials and ascension materials to trainer heroes and Epic Hero Tokens for the Seasonal Summon. However, the harder stages are locked by default and require players to complete the lower difficulty stages to progress, with new cutscenes between the start and finish of each mode.

The stages are split like Challenge Events and Clash of Knights: RARE, EPIC, and LEGENDARY, and restrict teams to heroes of that rarity and the correpsonding troops.

### Puukko Bombs & Puukko Storm

Throughout stages, boards will occasionally spawn a Puukko Bomb tile. These unique tiles count down from 3 and, if not matched, explode and deal damage to all Heroes. Matching these before they reach zero will charge a meter at the top of the screen. Once 5 Puukko Bombs of any color is matched, the meter is fulled charged, allowing players to activate a Puukko Storm.

Puukko Storm summons a downpour of knives upon the current wave of enemies, dealing damage equal to 15% of their max health and receiving -30% defense for 3 turns.

Iron Storage

*This page is for the basic building. After Lvl 20, see Advanced Iron Storage.*
    **Iron Storages** provide place for iron after it is collected from mines before it can be used. The game starts with one Iron Storage and second is built in the tutorial; leveling up the Stronghold allows to build three more at levels 5, 8 and 15.  This means that there is a maximum of 5 storages total; 3 of these can be (after upgrading to level 20) converted to Advanced Iron Storage at Stronghold levels 21, 22 and 24. (When calculating capacity, it must be remembered that the Stronghold 10k iron as well as Food.)

## Iron Storage Space & Upgrade Costs

Upgrading most buildings costs iron.  Each new level for the Iron Storage increases the amount of iron it can store.
Mirages of Omega

The **Mirages of Omega: "Limit Breaker Quest"** is a unique monthly, i. e. later 4-weekly quest introduced in June 2021 (version 39) to provide Aethers, which allow to further level fully maxed heroes (see Hero Information#Limit Break). Each event lasts 3 days from Monday and yields Aethers of one element, rotating monthly (in the order of tabs/guides below, February 2023 will start the new round from  Ice).

The Mirages feature special game mechanisms, variously buffing heroes of the appropriate element, as well as making the elite enemies, all of the same element, extra strong (innate resistance to status ailments, stealing buffs etc.).

## Stages & Rewards

There are five "Special Stages", rather expensive and difficult. Aethers have 3 levels of rarity, designed simply in Roman numerals (III being the strongest). As limit-breaking requires 5 Aethers of the corresponding rarity, and where relevant 20 of the lower one and 35 of the lowest, a full reward from a Mirages event suffices to limit-break some of the following combinations:

* 10 Rare/3\* Heroes
* 2 Epic/4\* Heroes and 2 Rare/3\*
	+ or 1 Epic/4\* and 6 Rare/3\*
* supposing the player already has one legendary Aether III from before, 1 Legendary/5\* Hero and 3 Rare/3\*
	+ limit-breaking one Legendary/5\* and Epic/4\* Hero each requires further adding not just one Epic/4\* Aether II but also three Rare/3\* Aethers I

These are however somewhat academic, as very few 3\* Heroes are worth limit-breaking; the more common Aethers are better saved for Epic/Legendary heroes where the consumption rises steeply.

Museum

The **Museum** (early also known as *Hero Museum*) showcases a **Hero Collection** of every Hero the player has obtained. Introduced in Version 55 and opened after several weeks of countdown during the sixth anniversary of *Empires & Puzzles* (March 2, 2023), it is located in the upper right part of the Stronghold, marked with violet banners and a red exclamation mark when there are Gems to collect.

The Museum shows Heroes' Cards and artwork after they have been leveled, ascended, and maxed to their base forms (there is no need to Emblem or Limit Break them). Players receive a small reward when first clicking on each Hero added to the Collection: 1, 2, 3, 5 and 10  Gems for 1\* to 5\* Heroes, respectively; this *must* be collected before going on to display the card.

The Museum's second tab allows to re-view the "unlocked story segments from all main story seasons", should one ever wish so.

## Hero Collection

The Museum has a total of 802 slots (as of 30 June 2023 but growing by the week) including separately all existing Costumes, behind their base form. The collection is organised into five columns and equipped with a scrollbar helper. There are headers for division by rarity and element, i. e. the Collection starts at the top with Dark Legendary Heroes, then Holy Legendary, and ends with Nature Common and Fire Common Heroes, like in the listing below. Ordering within these sections is unclear (certainly not alphabetical nor by Power, some Hero Classes seem grouped together – by the base form, but not all).

The slots show "???" for Heroes never owned at all, and a gray portrait for those that have been owned (even the 1\* and 2\* ones when there are no in the Roster currently as all were used up by Leveling) but not maxed. (However heroes maxed and then disposed of before the Museum's arrival are not in the Collection and would need to be maxed again.) For these gray ones, clicking opens not the Hero Card but a small textual description of "**Museum Progress**", with fractional summary like "Ascension: 1/2, Level: 1/10, Special [Skill] Level: 1/8". This is summed at the bottom of the gray portrait in percents.

*Note that the listings below may not be fully up to date with the newest additions.*
