My thoughts on Orm was more around his value to the new faction, not only in faction wars but also in any potential contents that have specific requirements (e.g. secret rooms for epics, hp or spirit only champions, or Dragon with champs from factions).  Based on his skillset I think he could could carry a lot of these areas, as opposed to a lot of other epics.

The last couple of "Run Dragon with this specific faction" tournaments have actually had 5 star chickens or void shards as the top milestone reward, which made me really interested in them even if I had to spend 5K energy and drop down to Dragon 15.  If a Sylvan Watchers or Nyresan Union one came up then I'd have a champ to throw in there 

In all my time of playing, I still don't have an Alure, which is an affinity epic.  Sometimes, luck just isn't on your side so if I could get a guaranteed one that would bring value I usually go for it (p.s. Plarium, how about a guaranteed Alure for 60 ancients or something!).

Still, I will trust you on this Quinn and make a start.  Let's see how we go! :)

Alure was very slow for me to get too. Feb 2022 addition to the team, and Rector and Ursala later still. Was out here using tape and bubble gum to do FK25 AFTER Lydia... lol

Good luck Rose! This one'll be a tough one, no room for misses, so I'll be working at logging into the Hellhades Fusion Guide every morning to make sure I'm on track and not falling behind on anything. Or at least that's the goal, no falling behind. lol

Some interesting chat on here, still looks like a mediocre lego to me, and i dont think the fusion being so difficult makes it a 'great lego' in some way.

I have plenty of champs that do similar roles, salad, lyssandra etc- so this one wont matter if i miss it.

What does concern me is that if people accept this type of fusion with its high requirements, very poor event rewards and no epic, and they try to do the fusion:-maybe spend cash to get over the line... then this will become the baseline for future fusions. It may get even more difficult with even worse event rewards

It feels like a test to see what people will tolerate

But- that is of course just my opinion, good luck to those going for it, i am going to pick up 2 epics for FW.

I pulled 1 sacred during the champion chase to bolster up my points, and got a Helicath, which is my second.  This alone has made the fusion worth it! 

The fusion calendar shows 2 champ training events running concurrent.   But they dont,  Its bad info.  Who will miss a rare because of that?

It shows that you get two rares from this Champ Training event.

Training events have never overlapped like that, for what it's worth.

I see the 2nd champ now.  Thats a big hill to climb.  

Back to the drawing board to see if I can get 4 rares in time to fuse 1 epic.  

Does anyone know if the requirements will be the same for all artifact enhancements?

I'd guess that 3500-4k range is where you can expect each rare to be. Maranix was 4k, 4k, 3300 for what it's worth.

Check in time @harleQuinn .  How are you progressing.  I am currently 1 epic and 2 rares in, having completed Fire Knight, Artifact Enhancement 1, Champion Training (x2), Champion Chase and Classic Arena.  Fused the epic during the chase for 250 points.  Running Spider to complete Spider Tournament and Dungeon Divers, but no issues so far.  

This coming week is pretty quiet with essentially just Artifact Enhancement 2 in the middle.  I estimate the Summon Rush will need about 2500 points on Friday, so plan for that.  Spirit potion keep opens on Monday, so with the quiet week I am going to use all my multibattles for that to ensure I have enough potions to ascend all 4 epics

I climbed the big hill by accident and got both rares.  I should be able to fuse one epic for later game play.  

It is surprising sometimes how easy the 9K training stuff is, well done!

I needed to grind silver and got it by accident.  lol

I have 4 rares now so will get at least 1 epic

So far, this has been a good experiment for me, in seeing how effectively I can do these fusions while also not particularly caring about being super efficient about everything (eg letting energy go over max, not necessarily spending all my energy before bed, etc...)

Does it mean I'll likely have to dip a bit into the gems / stockpiled energy refills? Perhaps. But ... it's not like I'm short on those anyway.

I have the epic.  Should I get a 2nd epic, 2 rares or be content with the 1 epic.  

When you did into your gem and fuel shortage it will impact the global pricing structure.  lol

Personally I would go for a second epic if you can comfortably get it.  Not only would it help kick-start your faction guardians, but I reckon the two epics would carry through the faction war stages when that opens up.

They say it will be a while before FW for this faction.  But this epic may be better than the fusion lego.  I think I can get a 2nd one without going bankrupt.  

2 Artifact, Champ training, Classic should be comfortable for me.  

EDIT:  Added list of events. 

I'm making sure that I'll be able to get FW going by farming 2 epics. I'm getting 3 rares as well just in case, though I expect them to add an uncommon to the faction before the crypt comes out.

I missed this. My notifications are out of hand sometimes. :)

How is your progess at this point? Didn't miss anything I hope?
