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

This event is an instance of New Hero

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

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