B.S. dude. I’ve spent 50 bucks on the brew pack. Ranked up 3 champs to 6s (and all the fodder required for the upgrade). I’ve been grinding this out every day for the last 3 days. Spent hundreds gems on energy refills, that’s on top of the 2000 energy I had saved up. I’m sitting at 9500 event points and 5800 tournament points
There is no way you “used a few brews, ascended a few, and ranked up rank 2s to 5s”, to get where your at. You either work for Plarium, or are a complete WHALE, who is still in the closet about being a whale. Don’t come in here spitting your lies. And if I’m wrong about you, post a couple pictures of your account and prove it. I bet your rolling in the legendary champs.
Now, from my experience, the fusion event is just ok...They are obviously trying to make money, and I don’t really think it’s possible for a F2P player to complete it. But I think there’s some decent rewards for trying. Mistress of Hyms is a decent champ for people that need a res champ. And the new epic dark elf (Captain something), is a decent looking epic that is 100% obtainable for a F2P in the 2 weeks period. I think just to make more “Fair” for F2Ps they should make it a month long event, and just give some huge rewards to the whales along the way for either reaching a certain threshold of points (like 30,000 event points...), or for finishing in a certain time. Just my take.

I agree. I've spent more than 4000 gems to finish the events so far, especially for running the potion keeps in order to ascend the newly obtained champs required for the fusion. It took me days with constant grinding to achieve that, and I still need to get the last void champ via the artifact upgrade event. Luckily I've purchased quite a few gems in the past, so I was kind of equipped for this, but I honestly don't believe that there is any possible way for F2Ps to complete this event in 2 weeks. I just don't.
I also would like to quote a reddit post by Hotshot2k4 regarding the Artifact Enhancement event to obtain the last void hero required for fusion, Ragemonger (https://www.reddit.com/r/RaidShadowLegends/comments/d6ycf8/warning_ragemonger_the_only_new_rarevoid_rare_may/)
He goes:
Observe that:
1) Of the 4 epics used in the fusion, Basher is the only one we can't earn without fusing
2) Of the 4 epics, he is the only void epic champion required for fusion. While he is not new, it's likely that very few people actually have him
3) Ragemonger is the only new rare champion added with this event, and he is also a void, meaning that nobody had him prior to this event and he will be difficult/expensive to pull. Centurion was the only rare void added with the Foli fusion event, which was part of their strategy last time
4) He comes from an Artifact Enhancement event, and since two champions come from it, it's a very good bet that he will be one of the higher tier rewards. AE events are also notable in that they cost an incredible amount of silver to complete, an amount which would cost an absurd amount of money if one were to buy it from the shop. It's also worth noting that they've been having a ton of artifact enhancement events lately - one is even going on right now! They've been steadily trying to leech the silver not only from the newer or more casual players, but also the old veterans with tons of excess silver. They are likely trying to dip into as many of their players' wallets as possible. We also don't know just how much silver it is going to cost this time. It has previously cost around 20-30mil silver to complete the AE events, but they might be more ambitious this time
5) This artifact upgrade event is scheduled 9 days from now, so once again, halfway into the event and after most people have already decided whether or not they're going for it - those who have decided to go for it are likely going hard, and are more likely to pay up despite not wanting to, due to the alternative being that they wasted 9 days of their life and possibly some money too.
I do not know for sure that Ragemonger is "The new Centurion", but all of these things combined paint a grim picture, very remenicient the Foli event. I thought it was my duty to warn people who are just now deciding whether they're going to go all-in on the fusion or not. If you don't already have 30-40mil silver laying around or expect to get that much before the 29th, beware! Don't let yourself be played by Plarium, and decide now whether you're willing to spend potentially $100-200 to get this legendary fused, even if you're a f2p player who has elected not to spend any money yet.
