Thread: Return of the Dragon Princess Revival event guide

Good timeofaday, brave Princes! It is that time of the week again, so finally, after the week of wait, we have a second half of a event for Black rarity (Dragon) Princess, the one and only Anya! Well, technically for Echidna, but we all know who is the real star here
So let's relive the Return of the Dragon Princess!

Revival runs: 2016-12-20 to 2016-12-27

Rewards

(Re)Introducing the Dragon Shaman Echidna. First (and currently only) of her special class (meaning, no class evolution necessary), Echidna is a healer-mage hybrid who is normally seen healing injured allies, but piss her off and she pops her skill to unleash her draconic heritage and become a fireball-breathing killing machine Awakening makes her strengthen all draconic units' health and defense by merely being in the team. And yes, that includes Dragon Riders like Lucille) Skill Awakening whenever it will come to us, turns her into all-healer, restoring health of every unit in range and even buffing defense for draconic units in range as a bonus!

For completeness's sake, as they are still part of the Event Trading Post,
(Re)Introducing the Lieutenant Aria. She may be only Gold rarity, and not as tanky as Katie, but she has better attack and, more importantly for Reinforcement soldier, can be min-costed. Awakening gives her ability to improve party's attack power a little (2%) by simply being in team. And Skill Awakening makes her so much worse in her primary role of a ramp that it might as well not exist :P

Likewise, (Re)Introducing the Sealed Dorania. He (yes, he) might be the first Black rarity event character, but not many would ever put him on the team, as he is capped at level 30. But that is because he was never intended to fight on his own! Right, his only purpose in life is to be reborn into everybody's favorite Black Dragon Princess, Anya!

To make that possible, (Re)Introducing the Spirit of Time Fleur. This fairy can reduce the cost of any unit she is fed to with 100% guarantee! Unfortunately, only one can be obtained per event cycle, and she is necessary component of Class Evolution (or rather, Unsealing) of Dorania into Anya, so if you are new, cost reductions will have to wait.

Last but not least, (Re)Introducing the star of this show, the one, the only, Black Dragon Princess Anya! A Princess who can block two and (after Awakening) attack them as well. Her Skill, trusty "Holy Blade Ascalon" cuts all (but magical) incoming damage in half! Awakening ability grants her 20% MR. Skill Awakening, whenever it will come to us, turns her skill from defensive into offensive, granting her ability to attack all enemies in range with double the power.

Comments about the event

->Open Spoiler<-

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 Do note however that enemies are numerous, and there are only five life points on some maps, so be careful to not let anybody slip by.) Still, new 90/12 map can be challenging, so take care.
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. 90/12 map is quite good tho.

All maps but first and last drop Silver Dragon Officer Gadoras and Bronze Ryujin Soldier needed for Anya's unsealing and Anya's (and Echidna's awakening). You need grand total of 3 Gadoras for that, so guaranteed drops will have you covered. Gadoras is also a proud owner of vaulted Increase Attack III / IV skill utilized by quite a number of Shrine units, so is a valid farming target, if you give up on farming MCs on 90/12)
No other silvers or drops to hunt for.(

Revival MC Shop:

->Open Spoiler<-

• Aria - 70 (50 for subsequent);
• Dorania - 300 (250 for subsequent, as long as you didn't turn first copy into Anya)
• Fleur - 500 (only one copy)
• Echidna - 150 (100 for subsequent)

You should be having some MCs in the pocket already, from farming the "Ryuujin Invasion" maps, so proceed accordingly to what you need to buy.
Unspent MCs stay with you and can be used in subsequent Revival Shops to buy other Star / Collection event units.

ЗЗЫ. F.A.Q

->Open Spoiler<-

Q: Do I need to buy more than one Dorania / Anya to min-cost my Anya Prime?
A: No, Anya will be at her minimal possible cost the moment you obtain her, and is not affected by Dorania's cost.

Q: Will Anya be at maximum skill level as well?
A: No, Anya will be at skill level 1.

Q: WHAT?! They expect me to make multiple Anyas to raise her skill?!
A: No. Christia, Rainbow Spirit, exist exactly for that.

Q: 800 MC for one Anya?! 1020 MC for em all?!! That's insane!!!
A: Wanna go Black? Cough up some Sacred Crystals. But remember, there will be second "half" of this event at 20th-27th, so you will have additional week to grind up necessary MCs.
Anyway, spending 15~20 SC is par the course when you want to min-cost a Item Collection unit)

Q: Is it me or drop rates are good? I got everything on the first try!
A: 100% drop rates for the first drop are indeed a thing now. Second and subsequent drops are with regular rates. Also, if you already had received the drop at the original event run (or even at earlier revival), you will not have a guaranteed drop when you run the map at revival

Q: Speaking of drop rates, specifically for Moment Crystals...
A: Unknown at the moment. But it appears that 90/12 have >90% drop rates and seems to be the best map to farm them.

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: Can I buy more than one Fleur, Spirit of Time? Pretty please?
A: NO.

That black elder is no joke. It's even stronger than the black dragon in Claudia's event. Speaking of which, I might just have to bring out Claudia for this.

But yeah, the 90/12 in general is pretty rough this time around. Not only is the map difficult for lightning rod/healer placement, but the beginning is pretty tight on UP. I came in woefully understaffed on my first few blind runs.

Hmmm, was running this event with my second team after reading this once my stamina is recharged I think I will bring my A team in for this one. Sounds very challenging and I usually don't do well on blind runs of very hard maps, have been doing ok in past events but only because my team is getting stronger.

Managed to 3 star everything today. I didn't think I'd be able to 3 star the last one (I could farm it on 1-2 tar runs ok) but a slight change (and a look at Key Kii's video) got me through. Flamel is truly amazing on an open map like this!

Cheers to the Devs for 4 star challenges. Those should tip me over the top (plus if we get an event next week) so total SC spending this month is 100.

Now I'm at my next predicament. I have what I need to get Anya. Do I max level Doriana first or is there no need?

Edit : comments on Doriana's page on the wiki had the answer. Need to max level.

Depths of the earth and dragons nest videos are swapped.

The black grandelder dragon is a dick
I got it blocked and saw that 2 healers woulnt cut it so i placed a third one and holly shit it attacked the healer INSTEAD of the unit blocking him D:

Other than that, since i cannot get a second fleur and i decided to not get a second Anya, i guess i will just farm 90/12 with natural regen and with the spare charisma i will do/try the 4star challenges

nice overall

While they are swapped, it's more that the maps in our revival version got mixed up. The videos show how it should be.
