When I want to unblock a guardian it doesn't tell me how many resources it's going to take when I mouse over the "unblock" button. If I click on the button to unblock will it let me know how many resources it will take if I choose to proceed, or will it simply take the resources without me knowing how much it's going to take? If it doesn't let you know in advance then does anyone here know how many drachmas it costs and where you can obtain guardian type unblockers and how much they cost too?

My second question is, am I correct in understanding that given that there are a maximum of 15 types of guardian and each type of guardian can be used twice if they are all unblocked after the first use, then each player can participate in the coalition arena event a maximum of 30 times? If so it seems unlikely that most coalitions would be able to reach ring 100 with 12 or more challengers to defeat per ring (i.e. over a thousand challengers to defeat) because even with spending the maximum on unblocking guardians the coalition wouldn't have enough guardians to play as those members who haven't played their guardians very much up till now will probably not have 15 types of guardian and even those who have been playing a lot may no longer have every type of guardian due to sacrificing some types to level up those which are likely to be stunned more often.

Assuming the cost of unblocking guardians is not prohibitive, I wonder if it is still possible to progress to ring 100. I understand some of the later rings have a lot more than 12 challengers to defeat and most coalitions don't have many big coiners or very many members who are prepared to spend several hours every day. Those who are already working too hard at the game would have to step up their activity even further in the hope of winning a holy summoning bond and then it might not be possible due to the limit on how often guardians could be sent. That is far too much pressure to expect players to put up with. If, after all that effort, noone wins a holy summoning bond then it is obvious that most coalitions will stop playing the guardian arena event and I suspect that many people, after so much sacrifice of their time and energy and resources including real money in many cases will become disgusted at their waste of effort and quit the game. I do understand that if there were not some sort of limit then one or two players could progress to level 100 single-handedly, but to restrict the guardians to 1 use per type or 2 uses with unblocking makes it virtually impossible for any coalition to collectively play enough guardians to reach the 100th ring. Why not, instead of limiting the play to twice per type of guardian, make it instead 1 or 2 uses of each individual guardian, then if you have several of the same type they can all be used. This way, a player, while they would still not be allowed to play the same individual guardian many times, would at least have more than 30 plays in total over the course of the event and have a more realistic chance of reaching and completing ring 100. And this will help those players who have very few types of guardian to manage 30 plays.
