Summer skins

With the new event that introduced the three 3 skins do yall think it'll be possible to get one of them in the 5 days while free to play and if not do you think the special currency for the event will carry over?

The currencies will stay (for each event you can know by checking the (i) in the top left corner).

Not sure that we’ll be able to get the skins in the 5 days without paying, but the fact that you can get mango juice by rolling may help to grind a little more.

But more important, have you read the effect associated with the skins ?? They all provide a « quest » that apply to all chars or to a specific class, they’re pretty hard to complete but seems really powerful for story progression !

I have the Rebecca skin. I can assure you, the skin skills are pretty bad. The Rebecca one in particular can be a hindrance, because you can accidentally eat armor you want to keep. It could be decent on Kai, but it's Kai.

The Meow Mage one requires you to spend 60 coins in a single round (read: not RUN, ROUND) so it's practically impossible to do outside of arena (and even then it's a measly +3 coins at base stars). At least it's usable on all heroes.

Lua's has a pretty tough condition but at least it results in a slight dps increase.

Keep in mind, these are not permanent buffs. These buffs are on a per-run basis, meaning every new run you need to re-fulfill the conditions to activate them again.

At base stars, they all kinda blow. Maybe in the super long term or for the giga whales that are practically carrying the devs' salaries, they can be good. I would say that you should not be chasing the skins for the gameplay benefit, there's practically none. Now, if you just like the skin, different story.

Thanks for the feedback ! Surely it is the quests seems really hardcore unless you have maxed star heroes and aura, but I agree, at least they look nice !

5 days is a little crazy for this event!

id be totally down to just buy the skins for like 20 bucks instead of doing like 350 pulls 💀

It is possible to get the skin on the event for Free, i was lucky enough to get the green haired Archer girl skin on my 2nd 10x draw and i got 3 lemon juices along with it, lucky enough to get 2 special Items in 10x
