    Lightbulb Vampire Bride Revival event guide

    Good timeofaday, brave Princes! It is that time of the month again, so that means it is a time for our next Revival! But wait, there's more. We'll not only be getting our second MC Exchange Revival, but also the Drop Rate Up AND Combine XP side dish, this time for silvers!! And last but not least, TP ROTATION!!! Wow, is that signs of the coming of Apocalypse?!
    But anyway, let's relive the rescue of the Vampire Bride!

    Revival runs: 2017-02-14 to 2017-02-21

    This is a Moment Crystal collection event. You farm event maps for special Moment Crystal drops and use it to buy event target(s) from Trading Post.



    (Re)Introducing the Vampire Princess Karma. The Platinum variant of her special class (meaning, no class evolution necessary), She is a magical-sword-wielding princess that can't be healed by any regular means and have to rely on her (pretty impressive) stats to down opponents before you have to retreat her. Her skill - release of her Legendary Sword Tyrfing, if you get the time to wind it up, will help that nicely by multiplying her attack and defense by up to 1.3. Awakening gives her means to extend her stay on the map by allowing her to heal 2% of her maximum HP with every strike. And Skill Awakening, whenever we'd get it, ups multipliers to x1.5 and greatly increases HP recovery (to 10% with each hit)!


    Likewise, (Re)Introducing the Immortal Princess Karma. The Black variant of her special class (meaning, no class evolution necessary), She is a magical-sword-wielding princess that can't be healed by any regular means and have to rely on her (very impressive) stats to down opponents before you have to retreat her. Her skill, which thanks to her rarity is ready one second after her placement, is mostly the same as of her Platinum variant (as her sword is the same one), up to x1.3 attack and defense, with one [i]smaaaall[/] addition: for the duration of her skill, she CAN NOT DIE. Yes, it is as much of a cheat as it sounds. For that 13 seconds her skill aura illuminates her, she can laugh in the face of the mightiest foes, tying them down while they futilely trying to harm her. Just keep her clear of that pesky paralyzing enemies (as paralysis interrupts skills) and don't forget to retreat her before her skill ends, as it will most likely leave her with 1 HP, and no healing means the next blow will be last for her. As a genuine Black rarity character she has a passive ability pre-Awakening - and it heals all your units for 20% of damage Karma receives. Awakening improves it further, bringing the healing up to half of the damage. And Skill Awakening, whenever we'd get it, not only increases the attack multiplier to x1.6 but helps her ability even more by bringing her defense to 0 so she would receive more damage and so heal for more!) Oh, and a side note: you can't have two of this variation in the same team.

    ...And there's some twisted sort of humor in the fact that Black rarity Karma wears white while White (Platinum) rarity Karma is in black :P

    For completeness's sake, while not an Even TP units, our new regular TP inhabitants for the next year:

    Introducing the Ninja Hien - a male gold Ninja with Increase Attack III skill. He's an obvious upgrade over Saizo for your male-only team.) Awakening just decreases his cost (even further than it does for other ninjas), and Skill Awakening turns him into a melee fighter with 2.5x attack power and one-shot resurrection. Oh, and he also has an interesting distinction of being one of the few ninjas who can still block (with his Skill Awakening) on DMM side, where one of patches made all ninjas 0-block)

    (Re)Introducing the Fairy Queen Chydis. Mother of Olivia and the best (in sustained healing) free Healer we currently have makes her triumphant return into Trading Post after the years of non-existence) She's an elf, so as expected she has minuscule health bar but increased attack and free 5 MR over her peer. Her skill, reminiscent of Spica's have a long wind-up and cooldown but also very long duration and gives her up to x1.2 range and x1.4 power. Awakening gives her additional 10 MR (for 15% total) and finally allows her HP to break 1000. Skill Awakening simply increases everything to 1.6x attack, 1.3x range [338], 120s duration and 120s cooldown (60s windup).

    And finally, (Re)Introducing the Sailor Viera. AKA rank 50 reward. With her class being somewhat unimpressive, and her being given for everybody for free, definitely not a star of this new TP As usual for Sailors, her skill turns her from melee attacker to melee shooter with pirate-like flinch (very brief slowdown) induction on an unfortunate victim, additionally reducing her block to 0. Awakening turns her skill-powered ranged attack into AoE blast, while reducing the slowing effect considerably, increases her damage multiplier vs fishies from x1.3 to x1.5 and improves the attack speed under the skill. Her Skill Awakening is pretty strange one: she retains all effects of her regular skill, acquires attack multiplier (x1.4), but can not kill anybody. Err, bring the partner?) Also, on the dark side in was changed to be auto-activating and unlimited duration recently, that at least gives her interesting niche of afk AoE softener from melee slot...

    Comments about the event

    Seeing as it is a revival of an rather ancient event, maps should pose no real problem for any developed army, not to mention Awakened one But just for the sake of caution: vampires paralyze, so take them out with ranged physical attacks; werewolves have quite a thick hide, so kill them with magic, Lich at the last map is a lich, so do unto him as you must)
    Your main aim her is to grind up as many Moment Crystals as possible. Not only they are needed to buy the copies of event target units, but they also carry over to the next revival. Unfortunately, nearly all maps have rather low payoff, so prepare your SC stash) From the looks of it, X maps are the way to go. First X map seems to have a bit higher average return per stamina, but Last X map has twin silver drops!)

    On a silver farming front, here's a run-down of possible drops:




    Revival MC Shop:


    • Vampire Karma (Platinum) - 150 (100 for subsequent);
    • Immortal Karma (Black) - 300 (250 for subsequent).

    You may not worry about cost reductions for Immortal Karma much, as when you need her immortality, you usually have all the UP for it, and for costy units cost reductions are less of a priority.
    Unspent MCs stay with you and can be used in subsequent Revival Shops to buy other Star / Collection event units.




    New Characters Arriving


    It's a revival!



    New Classes Being Introduced




    Pigs are flying! Hell has frozen over!! Trading Post is rotated!!! Surely End Times are nigh! ...But I am okay with that

    ЗЫ. Links:


    ЗЗЫ. F.A.Q


    Q: Will Immortal Karma be at minimum cost / maximum skill level?
    A: No, Karma will be at skill level 1 and not cost reduced (i.e 23 UP).

    Q: 1300 MC minimum for max-CR Immortal Karma?! That's insane!!!
    A: You don't really need to cost reduce her for her to be usable. She is a late-game boss staller unit.
    Anyway, spending 15~20 SC is par the course when you want to min-cost a Item Collection unit)

    Q: About drop rates, specifically for Moment Crystals...
    A: Unknown at the moment. But rule of the thumb is that more expensive maps have better drop rates.

    Q: What will happen to unspent Moment Crystals when event ends?
    A: You will keep all unspent MCs and will be able to use them to purchase target units in other MC Revivals. And yes, that meant pre-grinding for future events is possible.

    Q: Do I reeeealy need Vampire Karma?
    A: While you don't really need her, you want to. I know you do. Just ask your inner collector . Besides, she was buffed quite a bit on the dark side recently, so while it will be years before this change comes to our side, it still worth considering B)

    The X map was a pain in the ass a year ago, but shouldn't be so bad now.

    That said, I'm dangerously low on valkyries, so I might need to farm some Mishas while I'm at it. I also got way more Christophers than Naynias last event, so I'm not looking forward to getting even more of him.

    Guess I'll alternate between the two last maps.

    I remember grinding the second map for all 200 serums the first time around, because my team couldn't handle the other maps.

    Now....... IT'S TIME FOR REVENGE!!!!

    This. My ocd of wanting to mincost every event unit will destroy whatever SCs I had saved up. Why did they make this a 1 week event?

    i have the same issue. Will try to get at least 2 CRs , and hope for future revivals...

    Well at least I am not the only one having problems, small consolation that it is. Good heavens the drops are atrocious, honestly Moment Crystals should be 100% drop considering that one week is the standard length.

    imagine that realistically speaking , you will need between 1500 to 2000 (or more) depending on your luck to perfect her. That's pretty shitty to be honest...
