Cascade Event (Under the Power of Water)

Presentation

The introductory event for Cascade, and a great opportunity to earn a totem, red gift of dominion, and also many rewards from the very generous shop!

Overview

For those who do not have a PhD in Hero Wars Events, here is a brief:

The Essentials

• You need to spend 790 energy on the third relic to reach the last chapter and earn the totem (confirmed). This requires 42$, or 34$ with 150k emeralds. See Paid Strategy and Teams

• Free players cannot get the totem, but they should be able to get a red gift of dominion (confirmed). They cannot get six stars either. See Free Strategy

• However you must first invest your spare energy in the first relic, before you invest in any other

• The second relic is usually not profitable, I will provide guidance later

• You are free to retry chapters as much as you want, since stall coins are regenerated everytime. You lose nothing, you gain nothing

• 40 from the quest to buy pets in the stall

• 66 from the quest to max every hero in the stall

• 56 from all daily rewards in the "offers" tab

Free-to-play Strategy 2 (red gift, no totem)

Here are additional energy sources to reach 536 energy, enough for chapter 6

• 23 by spending 35k emeralds

For the medallions:

Alternatively you can buy only two medium charges if you spend 120k emeralds, or a single medium charge if you spend 150k. Once again, if you manage to get some surplus, first invest in the top relic, before the bottom one.

Results:
