Some notes about what we will see in first quarter 2025 in FoE

Before we go to 2025 though we have to let you know that historical allies are changing again.  Boudica in the Winter Event on Beta has been nerfed.  They changed it from giving QI bonus to attack and attack def bonus.  As you all know QI bonus is far more rare and thus valuable.  It's another bait and switch on Beta players which is unfortunately becoming more common.

We asked if there will be a way to get missed fragments of historical allies at a later date.  You probably have multiple allies that you cannot place because you didn't collect all the fragments.  The answer was non-committal for two reasons.  

1) they want people to play the rival quests, event quests and advance far enough in event progress to attain the historical ally.  It's supposed to be hard and not everyone will get them or all of them.

2) The power creep is such that the older allies will have no value so putting those fragments as rewards won't be very valuable.  There may be a hero type selection kit in say 6 months.  So it would look like the selection kits we get now for say Halloween event where you can pick from all the old items.  From what we're told it would appear as a daily prize in future events and sorted by type so common, uncommon, rare etc.  There would be say 50 fragments and you can apply them to whatever hero you want as long as the type matches.

The way allies are going to work will change as well.  They will have base abilities and then up to three optional abilities that you can select.  If you have multiple heroes housed in your city you can stack those options. 

"Once an ally gains access to special skills, you can choose from 3 random skills. Selecting the same skill multiple times increases its level and strength."

Here are the new heroes.

Wildlife Event 2025

Wildlife event is back.  Here are the new portraits and the one with the panda is behind the silver event pass.













We'll preview the buildings before they come to Beta server.  As of right now the main event building is 11 levels and there are side buildings.

Main event building lv 11




side building lv 2




second side building lv 2


This side building is a bit of a mystery.  Here it is at lv 1.  We suspect it may be multi-event panda reserve type building.  Still too soon to say.


If you are following the Winter Event on this blog or playing it on Beta you'll know the Eternal Market is an incredibly overpowered building that will span 10 events.

Now before we get to the next item let's look back at this game starting about two years ago.  At that time the eagle mountain event building was by far the best event building to place in your city.  It had everything and it was well sought after.  Then Inno started the pronounced power-creep and introduction of blue fighting stats along with red fighting stats in anticipation of GElv 5.  Anyone that has played this game for years remembers what it was like to get the BIS (best in slot) event building and how crushing it was to use store item on them all 6 months to 1 year later.

Now the Eagle Mountain is going to get the same treatment as the Abandoned Asylum and the Hero's Tavern where you can get a golden level that (as of this time) provides a permanent QI boost.  Red QI for Eagle and blue QI for Bear Mountain.



The two events preceding the wildlife event (Halloween and Winter) were lazy events meaning you can just do all the quests and spend event currency in one day if you want to.  The wildlife event will have a ticket bar that refills every (looks like 10 hrs now) and then stops until you spend tickets.  So at the very least this looks like a daily play event and the candy crush mechanic makes it a time-consuming event

Which leads us to the event after which is the St. Patrick's Day event.  This one is interesting as there will be a huge contrast in play styles.  It has the same event mechanics that we should all now be familiar with but you now have a choice.  You can baby-sit your towns and complete 18-23 of them depending on how you want to use your managers (and how much you want to spend).  Or you can complete 4-5 towns and focus on opening all the boxes after you complete a town.
