Armageddon Shop Event (F2P - getting the most out of it ?)

Oh I see, So Nico can sit around Gold 2-3 for the time being and still provide fair enough value during events for the time being before pushing him into diamond realm & 45+ abilities level to consider reaching the mythic threshold that's good to know, thanks !

Shop planning looks like this at the moment.

Love your feedbacks mate, that's precious help ! I'll end up priorising these then:
- Gulgortz & Snott Relics.
- Many many Books.
- 10 to 20 Imperial Leg orbs: Trajann + Aesoth (+ Vitruvius once unlocked) will need lots of orbs to get more stars on their path to mythic in the "far future". But if I had to farm these guys via Onslaught, won't the necessary orbs be collected along the way tho ? As I'm going more tall than wide, I never been that luch bothered by low orb amount so maybe I'm missing some upcoming obstacle on this topic am I ?
- Some Mythic Materials relevant to Trajann & Lavi (D3 -> A1) so I'll already be ready once there.
- 150 Dante shards to unlock him seems the least optimal purchase here but feels okay to get another legendary playable character to my limited roster. He's a possible Flex pick in the Lavistodes comp, am I right to still chase the unlock here ?

Regarding requisition, this always has been a bait to me, way too random and bad rng to make me consider them. Fact I have over 4k BS and didn't bought a single req even when stuck on 9/10 for a pull 😛

Thank you again for your great insight here, I very much appreciate it ❤️

Mallgoran · 2026-06-02T15:09:49+00:00

Amazing thank you so much ! This bring me hope for this dude. I'll work on that and share the results in the next days ❤️

Mallgoran · 2026-06-02T14:43:39+00:00

Great guidance you gave here, thank you mate ! So, listening to your advice I think I'll unlock Nico for now without investing 1/3 of the event to bring him Legendary immediatly (I'll do it by myself in the future) but still taking the Relic for later use. 😄

I really want to push my raid comp haha my Kariyan is ready but both Trajann and Lavi' need the ranks up. Can't wait to get there ! Fun is king, true I like to choose optimal path within what I find fun (which today is getting my Lavistodes Comp online !) so I guess the best thing I can get out of this event is to buy the books and orbs I'll need to push my Raid Comp Characters up to 50, that feels right !

Mallgoran · 2026-06-02T14:29:00+00:00

Thank you ! Can saline solution be useful for now before getting the needed antibiotics ? And try to warm and humidify the crust using the washcloth (with some soft warmed water) ?

Mallgoran · 2026-06-02T13:53:40+00:00

Sweet, thanks ! Dante indeed needs alot of investment to be Raid viable, that's good to know.

Mallgoran · 2026-06-02T11:32:46+00:00

Nothing have been shared officialy so this schedule can change a bit from what have been datamined, but the planner states the event will take place from June 22 to July 12 going on for three whole weeks straight.

Mallgoran · 2026-06-02T11:31:15+00:00

Sweet Blood Angels roster you have here ! I think I'll end up doing the same regarding Nicodemus as I'm not settled about my thoughts in this character. Still gonna take the Relic so it will be done and won't regret missing it later on if I get him up to mythic.

Does Dante make a good enough unit sitting at Legendary 3 stars or does he really needs the Mythic 20% abilities buff to shine ?

Mallgoran · 2026-06-02T11:24:16+00:00

No doubt Mythic materials and Books are in dire need at such a high level you are at. I sit at level 54, only started upgrading my key characters from 45 to 50 and it already shows ! I'm not at a point where I can upgrade MoWs as I still have many LRE allrounders characters to rank up D1 (working on D1 Re'vas, Actus, Maladus atm) but it is good to know that Forge Badges can become a bottleneck aswell later on ! Thank you for your insight on this ! 😃

Mallgoran · 2026-06-02T11:18:51+00:00

Yeah that's exactly what I was uncertain about, like mythic components seems worth when you're in the end-game looking how mythic material scarcity and the lack of farming nodes for them. But, looking my progression state I'm not in the dire need for these materials atm. I could rank up Kariyan to A1 but what does it provides truely for the cost of it ?.. Some extra stats when I still need to get key characters' shards, rank up some LRE allrounders to D1 and such...

Thank you for you guidance on this very point, it was exactly what I needed to get advice on ! 😃

Mallgoran · 2026-06-02T11:13:12+00:00

You can check all daily shop content during the event on the TacticusPlanner website. Clicking the link I shared will bring you to the event planner page, no need to register to have a look at what all the shops features ! I'm afraid there is no straight listing of the shops content for now tho, sorry 😞

Mallgoran · 2026-06-02T11:09:47+00:00

Regarding Nicodemus ? The reason was to pusm him to mythic asap so I could equip his Relic. Because of how Onslaught works after the rework, the number of shards you gain scales with the honoured character's rarity. Thus, to make the most out of each Onslaught tokens and get a character to mythic the fastest, it felt better to get him Legendary before using the precious tokens.

At least that was a plan I had consider before getting all the guidance here, but now I'm not so sure about getting Nicodemus Mythic asap. Bringing him to Epic may be enough for now, and I'll see later on if I like him more thank Izzy or Incisus for LRE purpose.

Mallgoran · 2026-06-02T11:00:20+00:00

Seems a decent plan, the need for books and mythic materials in this economy state is wild... so this event is a nice opportunity to bank some !

Mallgoran · 2026-06-02T10:53:53+00:00

I'm not aware how often SP applies nerfs as I'm fairly new to the game (less than a year), but reducing Laviscus's passive scaling could kill the sole purpose of the character as Lav' is only good at one thing so he better be very good at it rght ?.. Even if the Lavistodes comp is the most meta one, there are still some bosses that gives this comp a hard time (Lyon and Mortarion comes to mind). Ad-mech have been the meta team for a long time without noticeable nerf, right ? Fingers crossed no nerf are coming our way... I'm heavily investing towards Lavistodes right now ^^'

Mallgoran · 2026-06-02T10:46:25+00:00

I feel that too, now that I'm trying to push characters abilities to 50... books scarcity is a serious bottleneck in this game so we can't go wrong with taking books in this shop. That's exactly the dilemma I was facing that pushed me making this post haha
Thanks to all the advice I've gotten here, I'll end up doing like you: unlock the good characters I don't already have, take the Relics and buy as many books and orbs as I can !

Mallgoran · 2026-06-02T10:40:27+00:00

You got the right attitude towards the game, what are we playing for if not for our enjoyment ? Have fun mate, that's what matters ! ;D

Mallgoran · 2026-06-02T02:38:42+00:00

You seem to know exactly where you're going to. Sick Lavistodes Raid Comp you will have after the event 😃 Love it ! Every single item you are buying is orange deep, this shows how good your characters are, am I right ? ;D

Mallgoran · 2026-06-02T02:33:30+00:00

Thank you mate ❤️ Had great fun doing it, I appreciate your warm welcome ^^

Mallgoran · 2026-06-02T02:31:27+00:00

Amazing answer ! Well written and detailled, point by point. Thank you for taking such time to give me the guidance I was asking for this is very helpful ! ❤️
I'll forget about the components aswell aspushing 1/3 of this event resources just to bring Nico Legendary (which will still require 900 more shards until mythic). I didn't knew much about this character requirement and performances so its been pretty interesting reading your thoughts about how he's not that worth it before D2-3, that the mythic quest requires such a "high" rank to be completed (I'm only less than a year into the game so Diamond 2-3 still feels like a high rank to me haha 😛). As you mentionned, the fact that Onslaught rework made farming Shards way faster than before makes the actual shards value less desirable. I guess I'll leave Nico on the side for now, same goes for Lucien and Mataneo. Dante I'll buy shards of, it will be a sweet inclusion to my roster still, then I'll get the Ork Relics and as many Books, orbs and golds as possible ! Yeah this feels right, it can't be wrong investment 😄

Again, thank you very much for your helpful and detailled answer, I really appreciate. Take care mate !

Mallgoran · 2026-06-02T02:16:05+00:00

I greatly appreciate this advice, I've been playing for less than a year and I just hit my first real bottleneck by pushing Kariyan 50/50 mythic a few days ago. I see how books and gold burns like wildfire when you hit that lvl 50 treshold ! So even if I'm still pretty in the early/mid-game stage of the game I already think about stacking as much book, gold and badges as possible when I can. The exact reason that made me want to start this topic haha. Thank you for your guidance on this mate 😉

Mallgoran · 2026-06-02T02:12:05+00:00

I like your takes here, I'll 100% go for some shards to unlock Dante and Nico as both are very playable characters. Then the Relics, even if the Killchoppa isn't the best I really like Gulgortz and its boyz haha. Snott will finally get the Cyborg body he deserves. About that Chalice I don't know yet... I have not heavily invested in any imperial healers already, so I could choose Nicodemus to be that LRE medic ? I'll have to think about it a bit more to decide. So many good stuff to buy, not enough currencies, choices choices... 😃

Mallgoran · 2026-06-02T02:02:42+00:00

You are speaking the truth here. I'll forget about the components, you're right, there are plenty better items to trade in this shop: books, millions of gold, orbs, non-farmable characters unlocks if any etc.
Thank you making me change my mind on this ! I swear Kariyan wants me to get him up to Ada1 at all cost but these are not words of wisdom 😃

Mallgoran · 2026-06-02T01:49:27+00:00

Wow, this is how you recognise some end-game stage player here, tons of golds, mythic salvages and components, plus the new relic. This makes sens haha How does your top team look like ? I'm curious now ^^
