Does the legendary artefact slot have to be unlocked for the helmet? Or will it be sent to inventory?

 

[TinSoldier]

Kaleesi - You'll need to upgrade your Museum to at least level 3 in order to activate the benefits from Yi's Helmet. It can certainly be claimed from the event and stored safely in your inventory until then!

Fantastic!! Thank you. Alliance members (and myself!!) Will be delighted to get that part cleared. We worried some may miss it. A lot of rush work going on these days

Might I recommend you have enough space in your museum storage capacity, just in case... so you don't accidentally lose this. Ya never know!

 

[Alexey]

This is a really good event and a good reward.

 

[Imaera]

Actually, if i remember correctly, it's the first event which rewards something permanent. Also prety easy to achieve. The reverse of the medal, one more buff to the defense.

 

[S_How]

Thanks for finding a way to make these available, at least once in a while, to non paying players.

 

[Kaiser Shag]

Finally a legendary artifact we can get without having to pay, nice !

 

[danron1376]

happy with this event although the stars requirement is one of the hardest to achieve (325 for cold war, for example). nice permanent reward at the end

 

[Ulysses]

The turtle ship sounds cool! Anyone got screenshots or video of this? What's the impact in battle? Can you use them in war?

TinSoldier, thanks for releasing a great Museum artefact that can be earned through a challenge, instead of being paid for with cash. That's cool dude!

(and it's permanent too. Nice)

 

[Dvicious]

Nice event. Suprisingly generous reward for a very doable star requirement. Thanks!

Here’s the question - will the boat appear if the general is put into a SH?

Nexxon seems to be trying to run off the higher level players by these events, even though many of them have spent a ton of money on crowns to get to that level.

In all events, the higher level players have much higher goals to attain to get the final reward. In loot events, training events and donation events, this makes sense, as the higher levels can obtain more loot per attack, and train and donate more troops. But in the victory star events, such as this one, it makes no sense. When you are gunpowder age, for example, it is easy to get five stars. Battles are quicker, and you have fewer troops to retrain. You can use a training blessing, as you have no air troops to wait on. The event goals are easy - 70 stars in this event. But when you are Atomic or Cold War age, it is difficult to ever get five stars in a battle. Battles take longer, retraining takes longer, and you have to search longer for beatable opponents. But the star requirement in these events is higher, not lower, for higher level players. 325 for CWA? 260 for AA? Those goals are simply unobtainable for most players.

Let's take an example. Let's say that you win every single battle and get four stars. We will further assume that you have an unlimited budget and use crowns to retrain every single time that you attack. By the time that you launch a battle, search for a suitable opponent, fight the battle and retrain your troops, you have spent ten minutes. Factor in the occasional level-drop and the fact that you have to wait constantly while you are being scouted, and the average may be even longer. Assuming that you never take a break and have 100% success, it would take a minimum of 13 1/2 hours of nonstop play to attain the goal. Factor in real life and breaks, battle losses, game crashes and scouting, and it will take almost constant play for the week to attain the goal. If you don't have an unlimited budget and can't use crowns to retrain, and the goal is unobtainable.

By no means am I saying that higher level players should have an advantage. But it should be a level playing field, or at least only slightly tilted against you.

Can't wait to get my hands on Admiral Yi's helmet!

It is true that it's more difficult to finish this event if you're cold war (Which I am). I'm barely 1/3 through while lower players in alliance have finished. That being said that's all part of the game. It does depend on medal count and I was in kingdom but have dropped to silver to finish the event than I'll head back. People don't like that it's harder to raid but the same can be said, if you stay at a higher medal count it will be harder. The other thing I would say is that the item is also much more beneficial to higher lvl players than it is to lower because it's pretty much a defensive tool having 4/5 stats for def. It's not really any different than any other event as higher levels general always have to work harder to complete them. For the last event with the monks, I didn't even finish the 2nd tier but I saw the rewards and didn't feel it was worth the effort because of the reward. If you're going to war constantly like my alliance than that will take care of at least 20% of even assuming you get 5 stars. I think it's a similar discussion that some global age players don't like that they can get attacked by cold war players. It's part of the game. But pretty much if you really want the item, you're going to go for it.

 

[sileepuppee]

I was also worried about that initially but the item does go into your normal inventory first, than you unlock it and it gets transferred to the museum.

I'm one of the AA players, who had to deliver 260 stars. Did it in three days, played for about 3h per day. Mostly, I stayed between 400 and 800. Using 5 heavy tanks. Absolutely doable.
