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

• 128 from the quest to fight N battles

• 100 from the quest to spend stall coins

• 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

• Chapter V beaten

• Cascade five stars

• 18 medallions

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

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

• 40 by spending 50 sapphire medallions

• 23 by spending 35k emeralds

For the medallions:

• 20 from the mysterious island, with 19 moves

Here are additional sources to reach 800 energy, besides the ones aformentioned, enough for chapter 7

• 30 from the quest to get vip points

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.
