Glory of Phoenix - new event on Beta

[Susie49]

Don't worry @Jake65. The game has many devious ways to obliterate your orc hordes.

Yes indeed, my orcs seem to run away almost as fast as I can make them. They must be running off to @Jake65’s village!

Probably heard about all the dwarf beer I brew during FAs

The phoenix just lost some of it's azureness

Some pet food and a bit of elbow grease and it's azureness is returning

My Azure is currently level 3 (I usually only place maxed evolvers but I made an exception here) and I thought that being marble week I would give it test run.
The Azure's 19% point boost equated to an extra 2038 tournament points which in turn gives me 28532 orcs from the Shrine of the Chumpions.
A pretty good deal for a single pet food.

If I listen to Jake65, then this pet is more aimed at higher level players than it is at lower chapter players.

In my opinion this pet is a great asset to players at all levels. For the same amount of troops or resources you are going to get more tournament points, and pet food is often available to craft in the Magic Academy.

Do so at your own peril

In my opinion the Azure Phoenix isn't useful for any player. In fact it is a hindrance. I'll come back to that.

However it is useful for fellowships of all sizes. Arguably more useful for small fellowships - It is a much greater leap to turn a 9th chest into a 10th chest than to turn a 15th chest into a 16th chest.

For individual players, all it does is give increased bragging rights for finishing higher up in the global tournament rankings. It also gives a paltry handful of ranking points (if they finish in the top 100 on the server) which is negligible to any developed player, even if they place first. Even those benefits don't really exist though, because most of the regular players also have an Azure Phoenix.

So what does this bird do? It makes everyone use one or more extra pet foods each week in order to be able to stay in the same position that they were in before. It just makes team tournament prizes easier to come by.

stay in the same position that they were in before.

I think this was the case last week. Overall, the scores seemed to be much higher than usual. My 'normal' score had me in a lower position than I expected.

So what does this bird do

More orcs if you have a Shrine of the Chumpions

Chumpions

chump chump … or is it munch, munch on pet food

Fair warning!

I've got better funky chickens that need a feed instead.
