Alchemy Stars recently launched the Dunefire Strike event. The event commenced on Thursday, 30 September 2021 at 09:00 (UTC+0) and will continue for three full weeks, until Thursday, 21 October 2021, on 04:00 (UTC+0).
Dunefire Strike includes two event stages available for a limited time only: the Counterstrike Chronicle basic stage, and the daily Final Vanguard challenge stage. Both will unlock at the same time, and will be available from Thursday, 30 September 2021, 09:00 (UTC +0) to Monday, 18 October 2021, 04:00 (UTC +0).
Final Vanguard
Final Vanguard is a new mode, divided into four different battlegrounds of different difficulty levels: Easy, Normal, Hard, and Purgatory.
Players must take on wave upon wave of enemies in a single stage. It is recommended that players bring high-endurance Aurorians and/or Aurorians who grow stronger as the battle progresses. The battle ends when all enemy waves are defeated, or your team HP falls to zero. The rewards (Merit) players earn will be based on the number of enemy waves defeated and the selected difficulty level.
Final Vanguard can be repeated daily, however, the enemies players will encounter will be at random. The Merit obtained on each battleground will be recorded for the current day, and reset the next day. The highest Merit out of the four stages will be considered as the final Merit for the day and added to the Total Merit.
- Final Vanguard Merit Reset Time
- Daily at 5:00 from Friday, 1 October 2021 – Sunday, 17 October 2021 (UTC+0)
- Daily at 0:00 from Friday, 1 October 2021 – Sunday, 17 October 2021 (UTC-5)
Dunefire Rankings
Based on the accumulated Merit, players can claim rewards, including the 5-Star Aurorian Allura and her Solamber, which can only be obtained from the Dunefire Rankings during this event.
The Dunefire Rankings also record the Merit and rankings of Illumina faction heroes. When the players’ Merit surpasses these Aurorians, players will be able to unlock new Terminal dialogue for them.
