There isn’t much point in calling this a “NOSTREAM” Recap, since there’s No Stream every week now.  So for the time being, it’s just a Recap.  :-)

Hope you’re all staying safe!

EVENT DETAILS:

This week’s Event will begin on THURSDAY, MARCH 26 and run until MONDAY, MARCH 30.


Titan Details:

This week’s Event features the debut of TOTEC.  TOTEC is the first in a new series of unique Titans: the War Gods.  He has three brand-new “INVOKE” Skills, two of which activate upon the death of an enemy unit and one of which activates when an enemy Summons an Omega Troop.

TOTEC’S SKILLS:
Slot 1:  INVOKE SKILL: “FLAYER” (On each enemy death, +30% Troop Armor Piercing).  +88% Imperials Armor Piercing.  +88% Grenadiers Armor Piercing.
Slot 2:  +88% Titan Armor Piercing.  +88% Imperials Armor (NOTE:  The Imperial effect is doubled to +176% Imperials Armor when DEFENDING with TOTEC).
Slot 3:  INVOKE SKILL: “SACRIFICE” (On each Enemy death, 20% chance to Summon an Omega Imperial).  +44% Grenadiers Critical.  +117% Imperials Health.
Slot 4:  +180% Titan Damage.  +180% Grenadiers Damage (NOTE:  The Grenadiers effect is doubled to +360% Grenadiers Damage when ATTACKING with TOTEC).
Slot 5:  INVOKE SKILL: “APOCALYPSE” (On enemy Summon, TOTEC casts “APOCALYPSE” on them).  +100% Fire Spell Damage.  +180% Imperials Damage.

(NOTE:  If the Skill in Slot 3 is confusing, think of it this way:  Every time an enemy Troop (or Titan) dies, you will have a one in five chance to automatically Summon an Omega Imperial unit you your army.  It LOOKS LIKE this applies on defense AND on offense).

(ALSO:  The Devs did NOT give ANY details regarding what “Apocalypse” is.  It SOUNDS TO ME like it MAY be some sort of an altered super powerful version of the Meteor Strike or Fireball Spell, which gets cast automatically on enemy Omega Troops as soon as they are Summoned - but this is ONLY SPECULATION.  We’ll have to wait and see what it does.  **THIS IS WHY WE NEED A LIVESTREAM - OR AT LEAST A REDDIT Q&A SESSION - EACH WEEK, DEVS**).

TOTEC will be available for 20k Souls.

NEXT TWO WEEKS:

MONDAY, 30 MARCH to TUESDAY, 31 MARCH:  A TITANS UNLEASHED Event (also known as a TITAN FUSION EVENT).  This one will feature Champions in the Temple, but as always ALL same-class to same-class Fusion will result in the same XP bonus.

TUESDAY, 31 MARCH to WEDNESDAY, 1 APRIL:  An INDIVIDUAL RELIC LEADERBOARD EVENT.  This one is called “Instruments of War”.  No further info was given.

THURSDAY, 2 APRIL:  Another ALLIANCE LEADERBOARD EVENT begins.  This one will be called “Avalos Returns” - and I’d be willing to bet it features the return of Avalos, the Ice Guardian.  :-)
(NOTE:  The old version of Avalos had two Imperial Defensive X Skills and two Grenadiers Offensive X Skills.  He is SUPER WEAK in the current Meta, so I would be very, very surprised if he wasn’t heavily reskilled for this Event).


MONDAY, 6 APRIL to WEDNESDAY, 8 APRIL:  A THEATERS OF WAR Event.  No information regarding what the theme will be.

THURSDAY, 9 APRIL:  An ALLIANCE LEADERBOARD EVENT begins.  No details given, but the Official Blog said “TBC”.  (I have no clue what TBC means).

  1. thanks for your consistency!

    TBC (at least in line-ups for parties/concerts) means to be confirmed, i'm sure they mean TBA (to be announced), though.

  2. To be concocted?

  3. TBC = to be confirmed. That’s a common British acronym but seems maybe not as frequently used over the pond?
