Good timeofaday, brave Princes! It is that time of the week, and so we prepare for the new event. This time it is truly new one, and for a new class to boot! So let's show Elric bros J.K.Rowl... I mean Farne how to do with The Alchemist and the Sorcerer's Philosopher's Stone!
Event runs: 2016-12-13 to 2016-12-20

This is a Unit Farm event.
Introducing the Lab Coat Alchemist Colin! As our first Alchemist, she sets the standards for this new class. Said class being a ranged physical AoE attacker what halves defense of an enemies hit by their attack. Compared to Artillery, their range and power is lacking, but cost less, and against armored targets debuff is quite a boon to have. And if you use Alchemists to support your archers / vampire hunters / cannonneers, their performance will raise even more) Colin personally have a trusty Splash Attack II skill to make even more foes suffer from acid burns stripping their defense, and after Awakening gains extra range with her Ability. Skill Awakening, whenever we get it, turns her into single-target attacker while buffing her attack by 2.3x, with slightly smaller skill cooldown.

Comments about the event
Colin's powers works against you on all maps of the event, so all your units suffer from decreased defense. So take extra care when you facetank somebody. 90/12 map, where event unit drops with 100% certainty, is present, so take advantage of it) On the other hand, that fatso Greater Demon whose attack is EQUALS FIVE THOUSAND!!! is back, and there's no Dark Knight Commander to nerf dat damage this time around (unless you resurrected him with RCs, you whale)). Thankfully, he still prefers to wear next to nothing in terms of armor (150 def), so superior ranged firepower is still way to go.
On a silver farming front, here's a run-down of possible drops:
- Rogue (Cecily) (map 2);
- Soldier (Rosalie) (map 3);
- Archer (Soma) (map 3);
- Mage (Valerie) (map 4);
- Artillery (Percis) (map 4);
- Heavy (Leeanne) (map 5);
- Samurai (Sanosuke) (map 5);
- Healer (Alissa) (map 6);
- Valkyrie (Misha) (map 6).
Misha, on the 90/12! Tis a two birds in one stone!!! XD

New Classes Being Introduced
Alchemist / High Alchemist / Master Alchemist
Ranged physical AoE damage dealers that debuff all enemies hit with halved defense for 2s (2.33s after Awakening). Range is rather short, and damage is not so impressive, but AoE defense debuff is not to be underestimated). Oh, and their own damage applies after defense reduction, so always benefits))
Ranger / High Ranger / Master RangerNote: despite what banner says: they DO NOT deal true damage on themself. Traps (tokens) that they bring, on the other hand, do.
A cousin of a regular Archer, this ranged physical single-target attacker does not get bonus against airborne enemies (bust still prioritizes them), but instead is immune to future bad weather conditions and can lay down "trap" tokens. Said tokens do not count toward unit deployment limit and spring on contact with an enemy, damaging (with true damage) and stunning it.
"Alchemy is the science of understanding, deconstructing, and reconstructing matter. However, it is not an all-powerful art. It is impossible to create something out of nothing. If one wishes to obtain something, something of equal value must be given. This is the law of equivalent exchange; the basis of all alchemy. In accordance to this law, there is a taboo among alchemists. Human transmutation is strictly forbidden. For what could equal the value of a human soul?"
