Superiority



Superiority is a special event on the world map. Although the icon is always present on your map, it is only open to play at certain limited times. It is currently open Jan. 29-Feb. 11, 2021.

In Superiority, you fight a series of increasingly difficult battles. You collect some rewards from winning each battle as well as special rewards at various levels (20, 40, 60, etc.). The event concludes when you either lose 3 times, or complete all 200 battles, at which point you can collect all of the accumulated awards. Once this happens, you can restart the event by paying 250 gold. You also collect your rewards at the end of the event, if you haven't met either end condition yet.

Your progress through the event is measured by "victory tape", which is awarded at the rate of 1 per battle won. Starting with the February 2020 version of the event, you also collect 1 coupon per battle won, which can be redeemed in the event shop for various rewards.

The battles are normal battles, with the exception that you can control your hero movement (like in PvP). The enemy forces can be Dominion, Emper Corps, Loyalist, Resistance, Old Reich, Marauders, and Robots, and will be led by an appropriate hero.

The August 2020 version of the event introduced further changes. The total number of battles was reduced from 275 to 200, but two difficulties were added. Normal difficulty was similar to previous Superiority events, but Hard difficulty was added to provide an extra challenge. In Hard difficulty, the enemies are much more difficult, but the progress rewards are also more valuable. In addition, most battles (starting with battle 18) in Hard difficulty provide 2 coupons instead of 1.

You can change the difficulty if you reset the event, but you cannot claim any rewards at a level that you've already claimed (that is, if you've already taken the reward for 20 wins on Normal, you can't also get the reward for 20 wins on Hard, even though they're different).

Progress and resetting
If you lose a battle, the damage counter will display red stars, one for each loss. You can remove these damage counters by paying gold, which allows you to continue your progress. The gold cost for removing damage counters increases depending on how many battles you've progressed into the event and which star/damage counter it is.

You also have the option to reset to the start of the event for 250 gold, which you can do either once you have 3 damage counters or once you win all battles.

As an example: if you get your third damage counter while losing the 176th battle (you've cleared 175 battles), then you can choose to either remove 1 damage counter for 300 gold, or to reset your progress (to 0 battles cleared) for 250 gold.

Progress rewards
By winning a certain number of times, you can collect the progress rewards below. These rewards can only be collected once each Superiority event. So, for example, if you choose to reset the event after completing it, you will not be able to collect the progress rewards a second time.

The progress rewards for normal difficulty are as follows:

and for Hard difficulty:

Event shop
Superiority was given a shop starting with the February 2020 version of the event. Prior to the release of the shop, The First One was available as a reward for completing the event; now, he can be purchased from the shop. (If you already own him, you cannot buy him again from the shop; the purchase option will be grayed out.)

Enemies
The difficulty level of the enemies increases as you go through the event. Prior to the August 2020 release of the hard difficulty, the enemies that you faced in each level were somewhat random, and occasionally you would face a significantly more difficult enemy in the middle of an otherwise not too difficult tier. However, with the August 2020 update, the enemy distribution has become significantly more straightforward.
