Name: Manticore
Type: dragon divine
Number of lives: 4
Item: TC (lvl 7)
Perk: gives you a random dragon pet after you fill it's meter
Drop rate: (still gathering the patience to test this)

Fragments:
-Total number of fragments in promo:
--625

-Number of fragments needed *IF* you collect ALL the fragments from the promo:
--325

-Number of fragments that you'll find in the promo even if you try not to go for fragments:
--325 fragments (this forms a part of the 625 total fragments that can be found in the promo. Do not expect to get all 1 000 fragments from the promo because that is not possible.)

Average fragments per TC:
-(without 2× bonus) 9-19 fragments (I died mostly on level 4-5)
-(with 2× bonus) 18-38 fragments.

*The 2× bonus for this promo CANNOT be unlocked with a community objective. It can only be unlocked by progressing in the event.*

Also, no, there is no 3× bonus for this promo.


Cost:
-10000 to 14 000 passes (50-70 TCs) (average) (0× bonus + bad luck + 0 fragments from the event/empty fragment bar) to fill the meter IF you get the rest of the fragments somewhere along the line
OR
-22 400 passes (112 TCs) (0× bonus + min 9 fragments per TC + 0 fragments from the event/empty fragment meter) to fill the meter
OR
-1 800 passes (9 TCs) if you get max fragments per TC with the 2× bonus (AKA min price with bonus assuming that you got ALL the fragments in the event)
OR
-3 800 passes (19 TCs) if you win 18 fragments per TC with the 2× bonus (AKA max price with bonus assuming that you got ALL the fragments from the event)
OR
-11 200 passes (56 TCs) to fill the meter from 0 with the 2× bonus assuming that you win the minimum 18 fragments per TC and you don't win the divine along the way (AKA max price to fill the meter from 0 with the 2× bonus)

Average price that you can expect for the divine if you try to win it from the TC with the 2× bonus:
-2 000 to 4 600 passes (10 - 23 TCs), assuming that you collected most of the fragments from the event

-The general price range is anywhere from 1800 passes (9 TCs) (if you get max fragments per TC but you don't get the rest of the fragments along the line and you only try to get him after you get the 2× bonus), to 22 400 passes (112 TCs) (if you are very unlucky and you try to get him without the 2× bonus and you don't get the leftover fragments anywhere along the line). You can expect to pay anything in between these values, and how much you pay depends entirely on whether you try to get him with the bonus and your luck with the TC. And if you're REALLY lucky, you may even get him in your first TC for only 200 passes.

How your dragon's health bar works:

-Your dragon has 2 health bars: one for the lives that it regenerates and a SEPARATE SECOND BAR for the lives that you bought.

- Your dragon's regeneration health bar is the white bar on the top left of the event screen. Every time you attack a monster, you use up a certain amount of health points from your dragon's health bar. The heart next to your opponent's head with the ×1, ×2, etc written on it indicates the amount of health points that are used up PER ATTACK made on that specific monster. So if it says '×3' then your dragon uses 3 health points per attack made on the monster and so your dragon's health bar will decrease by 3 points every time you attack that specific monster. If you do not have sufficient lives with which to attack the monster, the game will prompt you to buy lives and you will not be able to attack until you regenerate or buy sufficient lives.

- When buying lives, the lives are NOT ADDED TO your WHITE HEALTH BAR. Instead, they get added to a SEPARATE health bar that is represented by the red heart to the left of your white health bar. So if you buy 4 lives, the number next to the red heart will increase by 4. When attacking, your dragon uses health points from it's white health bar first. After those points run out it will start using health points from the second health bar.


How your opponent's health bar works:

- Your opponent's health bar is yellow. It has a number written on each side of it. The number on the right indicates the total number of attacks are needed to defeat that monster and the number on the left indicates how many remaining attacks are needed to defeat the monster.
--Eg. If you attack a monster with a health bar (3-- health bar --3) once, then the number on the left will decrease to 2 because you need to make 2 more attacks to defeat the monster, but the number on the right will stay 3 because it's the total number of attacks needed and it's not going to change. So your opponent's health bar will look like this afterwards: (2-- health bar at decreased amount --3)

Number of lives needed during the promo:
*this number will vary from player to player based on the order in which you upgrade your dragon's stats, how often you stray from the path to get gifts and whether or not you use up your dragon's attacks before it's health bar gets full and stops generating new attacks (you waste potential attacks every time your dragon's health bar stops regenerating lives)*
-price of 4× lives = 90 passes (this cost may be halved during a lives sale or the number of lives will be twice as high during a lives sale. And the lives sale is most likely going to be over the last 1-2 weekends of the event.)
- 348 lives needed to rush through the promo (if you stray from the path often to get gifts but not fragments. It costs 7 830 passes)
-It costs about 630 passes (28 lives) to go through the promo again to win the leftover fragments.

Upgrades:
-The first upgrade that you should make is to shorten your dragon's regeneration rate. Unfortunately, it will be a bit costly and it will take a bit longer to collect the necessary elixir, but it will be worth it in the long run.

-The next upgrade should be either to your dragon's regeneration rate or your dragon's attack power. DO NOT UPGRADE YOUR DRAGON'S HEALTH BAR SIZE UNTIL YOU NEED TO UPGRADE IT. It may be a cheaper upgrade to make in the short run, but it will not benefit you much in the long run. This is because it is uses up the elixir that you need to upgrade your regeneration rate/attack power so what you are actually doing by upgrading your dragon's health bar is preventing your dragon from regenerating attacks faster and preventing your dragon's attacks from growing stronger. Do not do that. Its just a bad idea.

-When you should upgrade your dragon's health bar size: only upgrade it when you reach a point where your dragon is regenerating lives so quickly that your dragon's health bar becomes full overnight while you're sleeping. Or if you have elixir to spare. Why? Because every second that your dragon does not spend regenerating lives counts as a second that is wasted. So you end up 'losing' or wasting potential attacks if your dragon's health bar is full.

Misc.
-The final prize of the event is a companion that offer a +10 bonus for stamina.

-You get to choose which door you want to go through when there are multiple doors in a room. When you make this choice, consider both the benefits of the gifts that you will get and the amount of health that it will take to defeat a monster to choose which door is best for you.

-Make a decision as to whether or not you want the divine BEFORE you start the promo. This will help you choose which door is best to use later in-game because of the all the fragments that can be found in the promo.

-When going through a door that will give you an objective, do NOT expect a gift. Objective doors do not offer gifts, and you will still need to defeat the monster AND complete the objective/wait the required time before you can get through the door. Whereas for the prize rooms you just need to defeat the monster and you can move through. And you get a gift.

-You can collect multiple gifts in each room by defeating the monsters that are guarding the respective doors. But as soon as you choose to go through a door, you cannot turn back and collect more gifts from the previous room(s). And thus you lose the ability to collect the gifts until you finish and replay the promo.

-Each door leads to the same room, so there's no need to worry about choosing a 'correct' path through the event.

-The event offers pass seeds as a prize, but there are not enough seeds for a full meadow. A maximum of 14 seeds can be found in the event.

-You can replay the promo to collect the leftover gifts, but you cannot collect the final prize more than once and you cannot collect gifts that you have already collected. Each gift can only be collected ONCE unless it is offered multiple times during the event.

This week, the amazing Mist and Seth are making a comeback!

Reminder that Seth is an amazing Challenge dispenser, but he will be expensive

Is Mist the first water divine we’ve seen in a while?

If so I’m eager to get my hands on a Rain!

I’d guess that Seth is either going to be in Golden Fleeces or Reserved Sales, hopefully he’s not quite as costly as Sekhmet!

i think mist is gonna be reserved and seth is gonna be in fleeces
he is gonna cost like 10,000 passes or even more and i dont think howrse wants us to see the real price in reserved sales

Any idea how much Mist might cost? She doesn't seem an expensive divine, I mean she doesn't have any good perks, nor does the Ocean she gives. I'm hoping she's in HoPs, I really want to get her without pass spending. I agree that Seth will be in Fleeces.

1500 passes for Mist and I rationalised it as 750 passes per divine and it was really worth it as Ocean has been a great comp winner

Thank God Seth didn't arrive before this preprod session because I would've absolutely gotten him otherwise, he's gorgeous!!

BUT, Kigurumi is a better TC dropper, so unless Seth is in the reserved sales I'll try to save up for 2 Kigurumis instead hopefully the next two solar divines won't completely dry up my account, I really want a TC dropper. I'm not paying 10 000+ passes for one though, even if Seth is so handsome. Kigurumi is a way better deal.

Sorry, I'm really trying to convince myself to keep my paws off of him tomorrow!
