Welcome to the Event Augment & Y2 Event preview for Festival of Fools!
Our next event arrives on April 2, and despite the name, it's no joke - significant changes are coming to Event Boons as part of the 'Boon XP' Event Augment, and we are unveiling how players can engage with Flex Champions as we circle around to our first returning 'Events 2.0' event!.
Events 2.0 Year 2 Update
April's event marks our first returning event since the launch of Events 2.0 in March 2024! Starting with Festival of Fools next week, we have quality-of-life updates coming to Flex Champions aimed at making repeat events more exciting!
Choose Your Path: Resetting or Maintaining Tier Completion
For those of you who were playing last year, you likely have a selection of Champions in each event with some level of progress. Starting with Festival of Fools, if you choose a Flex Champion who already has event tier progress, you will be presented with a choice: You can choose to maintain that progress and pick up where you left off (automatically enabling any Champion Event Buffs you unlocked last year), or you may choose to reset that progress and re-collect Gold Chests and Bonus rewards from Augments as you complete each variant tier again.
Festival of Fools Year 8 Event Augments
- Augment 1: Boon XP (New Augment)
Description: The boon system has been reworked in this event! Eligible items purchased with Platinum now grant Boon XP, which unlocks Boon Levels. The Boon Level cap has also been removed.
When we rolled out Events 2.0 last year, we introduced Event Boons to thank players who can and choose to spend real money on packs related to the latest Event. Event Boons power up your formation with buffs to DPS, Gold Find, Health, Click Damage, and Game Speed for the duration of the event, and the first Boon also allows you to choose an additional Flex Champion to add to the event's roster! Normally, you can collect one of four total Event Boons & 25,000 Event Tokens by purchasing an event-eligible pack at 1400 Platinum and above; so packs like Event Offers, new Skin & Feat Packs, new Theme Packs, and Platinum Chest Packs for Event Champions of 14 count or higher. This month, we've rebuilt the Event Boon system from the ground up based on feedback from players. Instead of collecting an Event Boon per eligible purchase, this month, you can collect a number of Boon XP based on the base Platinum cost of the pack (1 XP per 140 Platinum). The more Boon XP you collect, the more Event Boons you can collect! Not only that, but we've added 6 Platinum Chest Packs to the list of event-eligible packs during this event, AND the Event Tokens per pack also scale up based on the base Platinum cost of the pack!
Buff Level 1 Additional Level Effect Global DPS 200% (200% -> 800% -> 2,600% -> 8,000%, etc.) Gold Find 100% (100% -> 300% -> 700% -> 1,500%, etc.) Health 50% (50% -> 125% -> 237% -> 406%, etc.) Click Damage 60s x2 (60s -> 120s -> 240s -> 480s, etc.) Game Speed 1.25 +0.5x (1.25 -> 1.75 -> 2.25, etc. Caps at 3.25x) DLC Boon XP Breakdown
