At 12.30pm and 8.30pm (+8 GMT) daily, a boss with a mighty chunk of HP will be unlocked for 2 hours (but it usually ends within 5-20 minutes), and players on the server can join the battle to defeat him.
When the event starts, each player can enter the event to deal damage on the boss. Instead of the usual battle system where alternate heroes take turns to land hits, in Demon Valley all your heroes will strike one after another, i.e. the 1st hero hits the boss, followed by the 2nd hero, and the 3rd and so on. After the last hero hits, the boss will strike back and your turn is over.
After each turn, you need to wait for a cool down timer to reset before you can attempt another round. If you do not wish to wait, you can pay 2 Gold to instantly reset the timer and enter to hit the boss immediately. You can also pay 10 Gold for a reset + additional 20% attack boost for all your heroes in that particular turn.
The whole point of this event is for players to deal as much damage as possible, and to do that, you can take note of the following.
Choosing your Heroes
There isn't really a need to train specific heroes for Demon Valley, however if you do have the luxury of choice, you should obviously select your best attackers for your team. Attackers work best in Demon Valley due to their damage bonus when dealing AOE attacks.
Moreover, attackers with innate multi skills make the best choice for Demon Valley. Examples of heroes with innate multi skills are Luffy (Gattling Gun), Zephyr (Holy Thunder) or Doflamingo (Five Colour Strings).
However, if you do not have heroes with innate multi skills, heroes with innate passive skills will also work nicely. For example, Ace with Fire Body, or Kizaru with Lightspeed. This is because you can simply equip them with a multi skill and they are ready to roll!
What Skills to give your Heroes?
Skill casting in Demon Valley works differently from regular battles. If there is only 1 active skill among the 3 skill slots of the hero, the casting rate of that active skill will be 100%, i.e the hero will definitely cast the skill! However, if the hero has more than 1 active skill, he will randomly cast one of the skills. This is the main reason why heroes with innate multi skills are preferred, as they will cast the multi skill for sure when no other active skills are equipped. Hence:
- If your hero has an innate multi skill, equip 2 more passive skills that boosts attack.
- If your hero has an innate passive skill, equip 1 multi skill + 1 passive attack skill.
- If you have no choice but to use a hero with an innate single attack skill, you can equip 2 multi skills to increase the chance of the hero casting a multi skill.
Formation
The damage spread for AOE attacks decreases for opponents further away from the hero. (Refer to this guide here on how multi skills work.) Therefore it is important to arrange your heros properly for Demon Valley. Strongest attackers should be in the middle of the formation to maximize their damage, while the weaker heros should be at the beginning or at the end of the lineup.
If possible, you may wish to rearrange the heroes in your Cheering slots to maximize the attack/haki stats. You may also want to equip attack/critical shadows.
Prepping for Demon Valley can be very time consuming. The game developers seriously need to consider letting players save certain formations in slots to reduce all the hassle needed to change our decks! -_-"
Landing the Last Hit
Well, all that trouble gone through in changing you deck for Demon Valley may be well worth it, when you land the last hit on the boss and finish him off!
Getting the last hit is largely based on luck. You need to have a very good estimation to grasp the 'timing', or you can spam hit to speed up/skip fight + reset with 2 Gold and hope you land the killer blow. Players that deal a higher overall damage have a better chance of landing a last hit, so be sure to put in some effort to set your decks!
Rewards
The player that lands the last hit gets a whopping Beli reward + a morale boost for 24 hours!
The last hit Beli rewards may vary for each boss/player.
Each hit on the boss rewards you with some orbs and Beli, depending on your damage dealt per round. Current maximum reward is 175k for 300k damage per round. (sorry for the previous typo~!)
Top 5 players also get a morale boost for 24 hours. You can see them in your titles page after you re-login.
