Well, I'm going for this fusion I guess. 10x seer baited me into it.

Already regretting my life choices... just kidding? Ha Ha. Ha.

As predicted, the fusion calendar is much worse than it looks at first glance. I'm done with IG, and still need 1250 points (=1650 energy!) to finish dungeon divers I. I think early game players will have a tough time with this one.

I got a ways to go myself. :)

Fortunately we've got basically 1.5-2 days to collect some free energy and work on it with that while we start on Arena Takedown. I'll be farming Spider for Silver to knock out Artifact.

Yolo'd all my sacreds... not sure why.  Guess I'm doing fusion (x2) as well...

It's always been the case with diver's.  If you overlap with a dungeon tournament, you will only be about 60% complete with diver once you have the tournament frags/champ.  That's why I hate diver's.  First, you get fewer points for the same artifact.  6* legendary is 20 points in diver's, but 25 in tournaments, and you need more points to get the prize in diver's.  Thing is once you complete the tournament you're a little over half way there, so at that point you might as well complete it.  Personally I'm skipping all 3 diver's this time.

FML lol on my last sacred to get the epic, I pulled the epic!  Why couldn't it have been one of the others?  2 Endalia on one shard lol

LOL! This comment perfectly, absolutely epitomizes the Raid experience.

i

I decided to get this champ, he just looks potentially very good. But wont be playing xmas eve, xmas day or boxing day.

So i burned 2.5k mystery shards to grab the epic, i never, ever want to do that again.

The dungeon divers actually has a 3-hour overlap with the upcoming champion training. I have 800 energy waiting to finish it off. Aaaaah... efficiency!

Well, let's see.  Had enough Voids and Sacreds to reach Endala in the Summon Rush.

Then I pull Aeshma with a Sacred.  No Legoes, as usual, but Aeshma more than makes up for it.  Did catch a second Tayrel.

We grab Endala.  Two down.

The four Riscarms I have now will become either Morag or Trumborr.  Three down.

Now I get to pick the two Arena Tourneys, one of which is almost completed, and the lengthy Champ Training, which I was was gonna do anyways, for two Riscarms.  That will create the last Epic.

Bring on The Rat King!

I find myself with 5 Riscarms about 1/3rd on my way through the summon rush. I've collected 1 from IG, 1 from dungeon diving, 1 from artifact enhancement and 1 from arena, so that's 4 accounted for. I have not collected any from summon rush, training or FK.

Am I overlooking something here, or did I pull one from a green shard without noticing? I'd love to skip the rest of the summon rush, but I'd hate to miscalculate and end up being 1 rare short.

I had fun buning 2100 mystery champs to be the rare.  Then burned high value shards to get the epic.  

I may revise my statement about this fusion being easy.  I got the Artifact rare with 5 mins to spare.  Fire Knight may be an all nighter since I have a very slow team.  

And I know, I should have updgraded FK team.  But...........

I wasn't expecting to be able to get Gnishak, but I've got 7 out of 8 Riscarms so far from this event, so I should be able to get the elf and orc easily enough - with one more Riscarm easily obtainable from Classic Arena II. I was planning to try and get enough for the dwarf as well, but this event is pushing too much on my resources, especially energy - it's Christmas, I'm supposed to be relaxing! So I'm going to cut back and just enjoy getting a couple of new epics, and focus on building my teams and dungeon progression. :)

Kinda seems like an actual holiday break was built into the schedule.  I've needed only one more rare for a day or so and nothing to do till the day after xmas, if then.  Personally waiting for enhancement.  So  I was just reflecting that the devs may have taken into account the eve and day?  Thanks if that's the case.  Rather relaxed event.

This holiday break, made me missed one rare champion from this fusion. Early dinner and gathering with family etc.. I wish Plarium give us another christmass gift/miracle and put one more rare champion to last event or something. 

Ah that sucks, sorry to hear that.  I don't know how many mystery or ancients shards you have but you could always pull a few to see if you get another one of the rares.  It would 100% be a gamble, but if you are sitting on 1000 mystery shards then pulling 100 or so wouldn't break the bank

I just finished the fusion last night so can definitely rest now.  I definitely prefer fragment events over fusion events

I noticed this myself.  I would finish one segment and have time to wait.  

Plarium, thanks for the slower pace for Christmas 

When is the last day that we can fuse Gnish?  30th is the last day to get a rare.  I hope we can wait until the 3rd for the next CvC.  

I will have one extra rare.  I dont know if I pulled one in a shard or it was built into the fusion?  I also got an Epic from a shard.  

I agree with you that it would be a nice gesture from Plarium to allow an extra rare to be won or purchased.
