🎯 Events & Tournaments

The Core Principle

Most events run simultaneously by design. The best players don’t do more work — they do the same work and make sure it counts toward multiple events at once. Reading what’s active before spending anything is the single biggest efficiency multiplier.

Event Types and What Drives Them

Champion Training

Points come from leveling and ranking up. Both scale by champion rank — this determines everything about how you spend resources.

Brew DOs and DON’Ts

DON’T:

• Never use brews on rank 1 or rank 2 champions — ×1 per level, worst return in the game
• Never use more than 2 brews on a rank 3 champion at level 1
• Never use more than 3 brews on a rank 4 champion at level 1

DO:

• Use brews on rank 5 and rank 6 champions — ×4 and ×5 per level, maximum return
• Use brews during the event window, not before (leveling outside the window earns zero points)
• Stack brews with a Double XP event for double points per brew

Pre-leveling Food (do this BEFORE the event)

Never sacrifice level 1 food during the event. Pre-level it beforehand so the rank-up action happens during the event window — that’s where the big points (×50/×200/×500) come from.

A single 6-star rank-up (×500) is worth more points than hundreds of level-ups on low-rank food. Save your biggest rank-ups for the event window.

Artifact Enhancement

Points from upgrading artifacts. Upgrade junk gear, then sell it.

• 1–4★ artifacts: upgrade to level 4 before selling
• 5–6★ artifacts: upgrade to level 8 before selling

Save low-quality artifact drops and do mass upgrades during these events. Don’t upgrade outside the window unless you need the stats immediately.

Dungeon Divers / Dungeon Tournament

Points from artifact rarity and rank obtained in dungeons. Stage 20 auto-farming = best points/energy ratio.

Run your normal Dragon/Spider/Fire Knight farm at stage 20 and you’re banking tournament points simultaneously. No behavior change needed — just make sure you’re running during the event window.

Summon Rush

Points per shard summoned:

Hold your Ancient/Void/Sacred shards for these windows. Mystery Shards barely move the needle — use those freely. Saving 10 Ancients gets you 200 points instantly on demand.

Classic Arena Assault

Points from arena medal conversions. Fight in arena during this window and let medals accumulate — the event runs itself passively.

Tag Team Arena (TTA) Events

Points from TTA battles. Runs separately from Classic Arena Assault — both can be active at the same time, and fighting in TTA during both windows counts toward both. No behavior change needed: run your normal TTA battles and bank the points.

Clan vs Clan (CvC)

CvC is the most important recurring event in the game. It runs weekly (Thursday to Monday) and rewards your entire clan based on combined point totals. See the dedicated CvC guide for complete point values, what to batch during the window (books, Great Hall upgrades, ascending champions, glyphs, forge, 6-star pushes), and what never to spend outside it.

Champion Chase

Champion Chase events give bonus fragments or progress toward a specific champion when you summon shards. They run on a schedule and are often paired with Summon Rush.

Why it matters for shard timing:

• During a Champion Chase, every Ancient/Void pull earns fragments toward the chase champion on top of the normal summon result
• If the chase champion is worth having (check HellHades tier list before the event), this makes pulling more valuable than usual
• If the champion is low-tier, the Chase doesn’t change your strategy — hold shards for the next Summon Rush

Rule: Before summoning any Ancients or Voids, check if a Champion Chase is active AND if the champion is worth chasing. If yes to both, that’s your best window to pull.

Hydra

Hydra is weekly clan content (6 keys per week, resets Thursday) that gives CvC points and unique gear sets. At late-midgame, your contribution matters less than just spending all 6 keys every reset.

• Use all 6 keys every week regardless of team strength — partial damage still earns CvC points and clan rewards
• Hydra Normal is accessible once your CB team is established; Hydra Hard requires significantly more investment
• Hydra-specific sets (Righteous, Tate, Chill) drop here and nowhere else — worth keeping any decent rolls

Event Stacking — The High-Value Combos

Fusion Events — How to Approach Them

1. 1

   Decide early if the fusion champion is worth it

   HellHades rates every fusion champion before launch. A bad fusion is a trap — it drains shards, food, and energy for a mediocre reward. Only commit if the champion is rated A or above for content you actually do.

2. 2

   Stage 20 Normal for dungeon tournament legs

   ~140 runs (~2,240 energy) typically secures 25 fragments from a dungeon tournament. Auto it during your normal farm.

3. 3

   Pre-level your food stockpile NOW, not when the event starts

   The Champion Training leg rewards pre-leveled food. Build a bench of level 30/40 champions ready to rank up the moment the event fires.

4. 4

   Hold Ancients and Voids until Summon Rush is active

   The summon leg of a fusion always runs alongside a Summon Rush. Every shard you summon outside that window gives zero Summon Rush points.

5. 5

   Don't force a fusion if you're behind

   Spending Sacred Shards to catch up on a mediocre champion is one of the most expensive mistakes in the game. Know your cutoff date and walk away if the math doesn't work.

Never-Waste Rules

1. 1

   Never feed level 1 food during Champion Training

   Even 1 brew or 1 campaign run on each food piece multiplies your output dramatically.

2. 2

   Never upgrade artifacts outside an Enhancement event unless you need the stats

   Upgrading junk to level 4 costs silver and gives you enhancement points. That's double value — only available during the window.

3. 3

   Never summon Ancients/Voids outside a Summon Rush

   Mystery Shards are fine to use freely. Ancients and above should sit until the banner is live.

4. 4

   Never rank up champions during CvC without knowing the points value

   Ranking up gives CvC points — but only if you do it during the CvC window. Save books, level-ups, and 6-star pushes for those windows.

5. 5

   Never spend potions without checking if a fusion is imminent

   Fusions burn potions (through ascension requirements) faster than anything. Check the fusion calendar before a potion spend spree.

Potion Management

Potions are a quiet bottleneck that most mid-game players underestimate until a fusion event arrives.

• Spend ~⅓ of daily spare energy on Potion Keeps consistently
• Identify which potion types you’re shortest on and target those keeps specifically
• Before a fusion: check ascension requirements for all fusion ingredients and pre-farm potions a week in advance
