Very interesting points on the value of the summer festival coins and what is the best value. Thanks for sharing what you've learned so I can also make better decisions.
Summer festival is perfect for rounding out heroes, no difficult or time consuming tasks just get what you need and upgrade your hero/pet of choice. Might feel boring now but next week in GW or Arena you'ĺl notice :)
I think it is a great ROI event if you have spent/saved enough to max out tasks, but one of the worst if you spend for only partial completion. The coins at the end of each task make the payout extremely stacked at the end of the chain
you can max it with 15k gems and only leave the gem tab not done... sure you need to save so you can do the 18k energy and 1k ss... that leave you with opening 165 outland chest for gems means it can be done with 15k gems
I think Summer Festival at the tail end of the Seasonal Event was a bit too much for me. Just looking forward to Summer Fest ending so I can take a break. The lack of mini games also was a bit of a let down.
F2P here (except valkyrie) I opened 6-8 month of dayly x3 chests (~8k energy), I used energy bottles, spent emeralds I won in arena to open 7x3 chests in outlands each day... It will cost me around 15 000 emeralds, but it's worthy for what I win (maybe 3 red items at the end of the event)
I think Hero Wars Guide calculated that it's pretty average return on investment for the emerald, outland tasks. But the good thing about it is that you get great rewards for energy, soul stones, etc that you can get essentially for free if you prepared well. The catch is that you only get decent returns if you go all in on a task.
I'm so close to getting Oliver to violet, I just need one more coin to get the Chaos particles. I do still like the summer dolls just for the random reward aspect and the dropping more dolls.
The free bit is a nice event, the 'double-dipping' by saving rewards is also nice. Just not an event to get sucked into spending lots of emeralds on, maybe
So which events are we supposed to save for? Some of us lower spend players have been saving for months for this cause of your hype, what should we save for now?
Nobody speacks abut the Dolls (paying option). Compared to other paying offers, this one can provide a lot of honey, and then from extra hon,ey, extra coins ... + other dolls benefits. Worth the $ investments buying dolls ?
It depends on several factors honestly. I have over 10k diamonds saved up and numerous dolls that I was happy to unload for the event. In exchange, I've gotten some gear to level up one of my heroes much faster than grinding for the materials
This event are great to get your team better, but it's bad to spend emeralds in this event, so I don't think it's good to all, but for me it's not that good for spending emeralds.
To me Summerfest was mostly about being excited about opening honey, but then realizing how crap the coin drop rate is and all your honey is wasted. Seriously 100k gold?
the particles are not the best value IMHO. if you do lvl 11 adventure like most people do, many times you will get 200-250 particles each run, seeing this you can get 750 particles in 3-4 days,(and usually do). can you get 3500 skin stones of your choice in 3 or 4 days? i dont think so. piercing gaze is ok but that could be 17500 skin stones of your choice, you can buy a couple skins with that and have left over to lvl them up
imo, it's good event with good rewards (and finally the time when i can open all hero chest/dolls). however compared to spookyfest, this one is less interesting. since spookyfest has that minion battles for more resource
Unfortunately, 'Summerfest' (and 'The Spooky Festival' which is an almost exact duplicate) have become events for new players! I used to LOVE these events, now (after several years) I treat these events as just another distraction (and that is sad). To make these events 'Major' again for everyone, there should be tiers of awards/prizes/skins made available (based upon your current level/strength & rankings in the game). I know this will not happen, and that is why (partially) players reach a certain point and then quit/leave the game and THAT IS SAD!
Charlie hyped up this event for at least two months, and told us how he was going to raise up a number of heroes by spending 65K Emeralds during Summerfest, and now says it's a bad deal? WTF?
For what you get in the special events if you’re half decent player a lot of it you don’t use now four times Emeril nothing is better because they can go directly to what you need whether it’s titans pets heroes it’s just nothing beats four times emeralds
Hi, for me (less than a year player) it is quit good, as a calculated guy I about to spend 12.5K emerald maxing out all tasks but spend emeralds. my coin drop rate is much better than 10% (~20%), anyway it's time to use all the accumulated inventory I saved 😅
not the best event, but I wouldn't say the worst winter and spooky are better than summer, in my opinion as for the worst event, probably the current little weekly hero doll events
this event is way too expensive to get coins and hope to get lucky. im playing just like normal, luckily i left outlands alone for months so i got thru lots of levels by fighting and using 90x2 each round
I guess I'm confused by this, even more than by some of your other recent ones: are we going to get this same video at Halloween? This is the identical event that they had in 2019, 2020 and 2021 with the exception of no new hidden quest. Halloween is identical every year, so is Winterfest. Why have you never complained about it before? As for chaos particles being the best, in some situations yes, but not always. With the 7 emeralds/chaos particle ratio, some of the items (notably Key to All Doors and Unity) are better to buy with this event because they cost more than the 5k per event coin ratio. In addition, 20,000 emeralds worth of energy will most definitely NOT get you anywhere near one of those pieces if you're building it the hard way. I would argue this and the Halloween one are very good events but if you're crossing your fingers and praying for free coins and your rng is bad, then you may feel like it's a bad event.
You hyped it ,now your confessing after getting everyone spending that it's garbage . Since it has no titans ,I don't go big anyhow .The drop rate kills an already dull event.
Charlie, I love you but you are blathering here. Summerfest is the best event in terms of rewards. (Winterfest the first time is more lucrative, with so many skins but after that, rather meh). If you do everything in Summerfest, you will get around 22 coins. That's about enough to buy the most expensive item for each of your main five. That's a pretty significant power up. To spend, 65k emeralds, I saved the last item on about 4 heroes and filled it with Rarity Fair, roughly doubling the effect. Then there's the skin stones and glyphs. Summerfest easily justifies your original hype. Roll on Spookyfest...
120k emeralds spent on this event only 5 grand prizes. Disappointed. It barely does anything to my team. Might be a turning point to quit this game soon
Thanks for sharing, very interesting point and definitely something that I'll think about when I'm spending emeralds next time
Very interesting points on the value of the summer festival coins and what is the best value. Thanks for sharing what you've learned so I can also make better decisions.
Charlie, thanks for continuing to be the voice of reason in these troubling times...lol
HWC is the number one channel !!!! thx for everything !!!!!
If you get the coins just by doing free stuff in the event, the Vanquished Absolute does not cost 25k emeralds - it is free.
2 years ago summer festival was amazing, but they dropped the chances drastically.
But do we KNOW they dropped the chances or is it people who had good luck the first time then bad luck the next just assuming that is the case?

I just worked the daily quests and did them over the days instead of rushing through them all
Items are best choice. Maybe chaos particles.

thank you Charlie
For a VIP0 player, which has no access to Rarity Fair, Summer Festival is a nice opportunity to quickly level up heroes.
Nobody speacks abut the Dolls (paying option). Compared to other paying offers, this one can provide a lot of honey, and then from extra hon,ey, extra coins ... + other dolls benefits. Worth the $ investments buying dolls ?
Thanks Charlie :)
Good tips -Thank you
Hi, Thanks.
which event is the best to save energy and soul stones for?
It depends on several factors honestly. I have over 10k diamonds saved up and numerous dolls that I was happy to unload for the event. In exchange, I've gotten some gear to level up one of my heroes much faster than grinding for the materials
3 coins for gold items that have mass amounts of farming in limited areas and the orange book for 1 coin, are the best values for me
This event are great to get your team better, but it's bad to spend emeralds in this event, so I don't think it's good to all, but for me it's not that good for spending emeralds.
Thanks
Winterfest still the best(8months playing)
To me Summerfest was mostly about being excited about opening honey, but then realizing how crap the coin drop rate is and all your honey is wasted. Seriously 100k gold?

10 times opened the honey..just got only one coin..very poor
For what you get in the special events if you’re half decent player a lot of it you don’t use now four times Emeril nothing is better because they can go directly to what you need whether it’s titans pets heroes it’s just nothing beats four times emeralds
thanks
At least we get rewarded by spending our Emeralds a little bit this way
Worst......No. I wish getting the dolls was an option. Hopefully winterfest is better.
Good opportunity to target the things you need.
low drop rates, thats for sure...
If I have to calculate value to enjoy an event it is a let down.
15 tries along 4 accounts and no coins. I got to know that:
Without paying you get max of 6 coins.

Summer festival is a good event and you have to spend on what do you need.
The Summer event has been fantastic for me I get lots of skin stones
Totally agree
not the best event, but I wouldn't say the worst
winter and spooky are better than summer, in my opinion
as for the worst event, probably the current little weekly hero doll events
Thanks for the new insight! I hope the random comment picker picks me!
SF worked well for me to max out heros star levels and max out a bunch of skins
It feels bad because of the horrible rng on coins is insanely stupid.....
I had good luck on day 1, but bad luck after day 2!
For me too, only the last day remains, maybe it will bring the turnaround?
It's really difficult leveling up on PC without spending cash. The game play is slow compared to mobile
this event is way too expensive to get coins and hope to get lucky. im playing just like normal, luckily i left outlands alone for months so i got thru lots of levels by fighting and using 90x2 each round
Speed up the spending on honey and its fine
if you spend on one event you spin on all of the events. because nobody wants to get left behind.
I don't think Summer Fest is the worst but it certainly isn't great. And it's pretty boring for a major event.
i actually got a very nice drop rate for coins so i think its a good event :)
where is mini game ????
All events are good because all of them give free stuff.
the event does truly suck.. wasted a lot of resources on some bad advice and a few gold coins is not a reward
I got 8 coins and bought Unity of ext, chaos particles and two items for Jasemine.And 1x20 dolls (idiot xD) Not bad in the end
totally agree
it's good event with good rewards. however compared to spookyfest, this one is less interesting.

nice vid!
Def not top 3 events to me..but descent....the buildup was better than the actual event..lol
You hyped it ,now your confessing after getting everyone spending that it's garbage . Since it has no titans ,I don't go big anyhow .The drop rate kills an already dull event.
Yeah one always has to do math...;-)
click bit?
true!
Interesting hmm
whoaa... what a clikbait! :) :)

nice vid
Hiding the man bun is click bait
120k emeralds spent on this event only 5 grand prizes. Disappointed. It barely does anything to my team. Might be a turning point to quit this game soon
it sux this year !!!
It's s poor event because it should only take 4 days ( halfway through and not much left to do ) and the major reward is based on chance.
Very disappointing, boring, more of the same old thing
it's not bad
No.
