Tavern Of Legends: Tips & Heroes (Empires and Puzzles)

Tavern of Legends, the Empires and Puzzles event, happens to be my personal favourite. Not only is it the most interesting challenge in the game, but it’s also an opportunity to grab an old Hero Of The Month (HotM).

In this post, I’ll cover the event rules, give you my best tips for completing the Quest, and also list the HotM we can expect to see.

Before we start, please consider sharing a link to this post with your alliance or on social media. It really does help.

Tavern Of Legends Quest Rules (Empires and Puzzles)

The rules for Tavern Of Legends are simple, and genius:

• You can only use each Hero in your roster once.

This simple rule makes the event incredibly engaging because the challenge is to try and complete all 10 stages without running out of good Heroes to use.

Also, as the stages progress, they get more difficult; the first stage is the easiest, and the last stage is the hardest. So, the logical goal is to save your best Heroes for the last stage, but that’s easier said than done.

For example, say you use Boldtusk for the first stage, you then can’t use him for any other stage. -Even if you fail to complete the stage!

Imagine having to re-do that level, but now with Boldtusk (and his 4 teammates) gone. You’ll have to replace him with another Hero, a Hero that you were likely saving for a later round.

Let’s say it’s Rigard. How will you beat the later round if you use up Rigard now?

And that’s the beauty of Tavern Of Legends.

Tips for Completing Tavern Of Legends (Empires & Puzzles)

The Tavern Of Legends Quest can be a real challenge if you don’t have +50 levelled Heroes. That’s why I put this guide together, sharing how I beat the Quest as a new player.

First, get yourself a screenshot of the latest Quest guide. This is a list of all the Hero bosses for each stage, so you know what colors (or ‘elements’) you’ll be facing. The SG forum (Oct 22 guide) is a good place to check, or Facebook, or Reddit.

With that by your side, here’s my strategy:

To begin with, play the early stages with the weakest possible team. I still try to complete the first stage using only Feeder Heroes (1-Star and 2-Star Heroes).

Next, I sprinkle in a few 3-Star Heroes, alongside yet more Feeders! And with each stage, ensure my team is comparable to the recommended team strength. That means, while my team strength may be lower than the recommended, I am at least aware of what it should be, and I’m satisfied that I can win with the team I’m fielding. -Because a loss now, would impact the overall result.

An important thing to remember is, once you’re through the initial stages, you’re nearing the point of no return (depending on the depth of your roster). Once you’ve committed a few good Heroes, any loss thereafter might result in total failure to complete the event.

Next, I play 3-Star Heroes alongside 4-Star Heroes.

Then, 4-Star Heroes with 5-Star Heroes.

And in the end, I’m hopefully left with my best 5 Heroes, who can handle the final stage bosses.

In this way, you slowly increase the strength of your team, while hopefully equalling the increase in difficulty.

What if you don’t have many 4/5 star Heroes? Then you have to manage your expectations. You should set yourself a reasonable goal, and try to achieve it.

You might not be able to beat stage 10, but hopefully, you can win enough Legend Coins to get a free spin at the Summoning Gate.

What Battle Items should you take with you?

It’s better to use Battle Items than it is to risk defeat. So here are a few items which could really make the difference:

TIME STOP – All enemies lose 100% mana and have their normal attack delayed by 3 turns.

MIRACLE SCROLL – All Heroes are revived and get 400 HP.

TORNADO (or similar item) – For when you want to shake up the board and charge some mana, without missing a turn.

HEALING POTION – This can be useful for making sure there are no early round slip-ups.

MANA POTION – Ideal for when you need your Hero to fire off at the start of battle.

What Coins are used at the Tavern Of Legends Summoning Gate?

Legend Coins and standard Gems are both accepted at the Tavern Of Legends Summoning Gate.

It will cost you 100 Legend Coins for one pull at the Gate.

And, if you complete the Tavern Of Legends Quest, you’ll receive 220 Legend Coins for your troubles.

Tavern Of Legends: Hero Of The Month (HotM) List

Just so you know, all Heroes Of The Month are 5-Star Heroes, although the Summoning Gate is also populated with the usual fare of basic Heroes.

Ex-HotMs are added to the Tavern Of Legends event around 11 months after their initial release (the list below is based on that premise):

I’ve ended the list there as Roughian & Nurgib is currently shown in the portal. That said, you shouldn’t base any Summoning strategy on this list, instead please check in-game for up-to-date facts.

Empires and Puzzles, Tavern Of Legends Review

Tavern Of Legends is a fantastic event which I hope is replicated in the future. I actually think new players get more out of the Challenge than seasoned players like me. Because the fun is in actually trying to beat the Quest, with a limited roster.

Once you have +50 levelled Heroes, it gets a lot easier. But maybe the developers could add another level, just for experienced players like us?

Enjoyed the post? then help me! – Share it with your alliance!
