Contest of Elements

**Contest of Elements** is a bi-monthly "Super Elemental Quest" introduced in October 2022 (Version 51) where players are challenged into using a select team of Heroes within the featured element (colloquially "color") to fight like-colored Elite Enemies.

## Event Conditions

The Contest of Elements has the **Hero Roster Mastery**: as in Tavern of Legends, players are given limited usage of their Heroes between stages, expiring the Heroes used even if retrying the stage. Unlike the Tavern and other limited events, each Hero can be used twice in the Contest; Super Elemental Heroes have the limit raised to 5.

Another condition, unique to the Contest, is that players are limited to Heroes of the corresponding element. During battle, all shields (or tiles) matched regardless of element will release the element-specific Troops (with the average attack power of the team) and give 20% of the Troops' mana to all Heroes; the featured color's shields will deal **STRONG** damage to enemies and give 40% of the troops' mana instead.

Matches of the current event's element build power for **Elemental Chaos**. It requires 14 tiles before it can be activated at will. It changes the element of 7 random normal shields to the event's element, usually starting a combo of matches. (However, matches generated with Elemental Chaos do not count towards the next one.)

Battle items can be brought into the battle in twice the standard amount applied to Map and other Quest stages. (This will only account for any crafted and available in the player's inventory.)

Finally, the enemy-generated Power Gems (see below) also influence the gameplay somewhat.

## Event Stages

Stages in the Contest of Elements are all 5 waves against Elite Enemies of the corresponding element, with their distinct Special Skills; each wave has a Boss, the final one three, two of them the featured Super Elemental Heroes. The battles are very difficult, even more than Mirages of Omega.

Each stage rewards  Super Elemental Coins; completion of the whole event nets a total of 200 Coins for the Summon, the first 100 reached after Stage 7.

## Event Summons

Contest of Elements replaces the Epic Summon with **Elemental Summon**, offering a variety of Heroes of the same element across multiple events. The Heroes are limited to those released longer than 6 months, except the featured Super Elemental Heroes.

## Super Elemental Family

Available in the Super Elemental Summon and featured as the final wave bosses are Heroes of the **Super Elemental Family**. These Heroes have the ability to strength mono-colored teams.

For each ally of the same element a shield is converted into a Power Gem which deals 20 damage to a random enemy each turn until it is matched. Power Gems can only spawn in place of regular shields and at most 5 Power Gems can be active at the same time.

Members of the Super Elemental Family also have a Troop Modifier passive that gives 100% more additional damage against the weaker element and gives 10% less damage from Troops of the stronger element.
