Lara Croft Event 2025 (The Mystery of Dominion)

Presentation

The re-introductory event for Lara Croft. New hero events like those are arguably the most generous events of the game: plenty of free rewards from the shop, and a totem for a few tens of dollars.

Overview

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

where to get every resource in Lara Croft event, and what they are for

The Essentials

  • Careful, this event requires serious planning!

  • You need to decide your priorities totem, soul stones, shop. This affects the relics update order. See our detailled strategies

  • In all cases you must first invest in the second relic, as this will net you more materials.

  • Bosses can be retried indefinitely, but you lose all buffs once you win

  • Increasing the level of non-boss battles is useless, a relic from an earlier version of this event format

  • Missions in the second chapter reward pickaxes for Lara's soul stones, but only 500 base ancient coins instead of 1500

  • You need 2.5 pickaxes per soul stone without accounting for the relic, see Third Relic for details and relic levels

  • You need 10552 precious coins to max a skin. They can be used after the event, while other items rest will be converted into Tomb Raider's Boxes

Relics Optimization

Second Relic

Here are the breakeven energies for the second relic. The last column is the initial energy you must have to justify using a part of it to farm the relic.

Level mat gain/level mat cost/levt total mat cost energy cost/level total energy cost energy to recoup/level total breakeven
1 2 0 0 0 0 0 0
2 3 15 5 48 48 90 138
3 4 30 15 60 108 180 288
4 5 45 30 72 180 270 450
5 6 75 55 90 270 450 720
6 7 120 95 120 390 720 1110

Numbers may vary a bit if you have surplus materials you do not need elsewhere. For example if you are not interested in soul stones at all (surplus skylite and asterium) or if you are not interested in the totem (surplus chrometal).

Third Relic

You need to open 16.5 vases per 3 dolls, and a doll seems to contain 2.2 soul stones on average in 2025 (including the matrioshkas it spawns). The relic transforms some of those vases into golden ones with 15 dolls.

  • Relic level 0: 16.5 pickaxes per success, 0.40 stones per pickaxe, 2.50 pickaxes per stone — on average

  • Relic level 1: 16.5 pickaxes per success, 0.46 stones per pickaxe, 2.16 pickaxes per stone — on average

  • Relic level 2: 16.5 pickaxes per success, 0.53 stones per pickaxe, 1.90 pickaxes per stone — on average

  • Relic level 3: 16.5 pickaxes per success, 0.59 stones per pickaxe, 1.70 pickaxes per stone — on average

  • Relic level 4: 16.5 pickaxes per success, 0.65 stones per pickaxe, 1.54 pickaxes per stone — on average

  • Relic level 5: 16.5 pickaxes per success, 0.71 stones per pickaxe, 1.40 pickaxes per stone — on average

  • Relic level 6: 16.5 pickaxes per success, 0.78 stones per pickaxe, 1.29 pickaxes per stone — on average
