Rewards can be seen in the game.
Race tips can be found here.
To get any reward you have to finish lap 4 to qualify. If you win and reach lap 15 you will still only get one heroic dragon when the race ends.

I received confirmation from SP that as long as you have the Tectonic Talisman when you claim the Tectonic dragon you will get the 5x skill. But you must have it, so if you have not claimed the Tectonic dragon yet do not sell that talisman.

Timed rewards:
Lap 8 > 9: 15 Legendary essences x2 (4hrs)
Lap 10 > 11: 30 Frostfire orbs x2 (6hrs)
Lap 13 > 14: Heroic orbs chest x2 (8hrs)
Lap 16 > 17: 120 Frostfire orbs x2 (8hrs)
Lap 17 > 18: 40 High Tectonic orbs x2 (8hrs)
Lap 19 > 20: 50 L Joker orbs chest x2 (8hrs)

I see we have to reach lap19 this time instead of 16 to get a titan egg.

If I reached Lap 15 and I ended the race at 1st Place, wiil I win 2 High Tectonic Dragons?

lol, ummmmmmmmmmmmmm not gonna answer that. hehe

This is the first race where the position rewards has something that I do not have. This race I will get Tectonic and Frostfire. I know I say this every race but this time I am going to try to stick to stopping at lap 15. I looked at the site that shall not be named and the wait times are decent. Now let's see if those were acurate.

@nynaevelan First time in a long time that I have none of the position rewards, so I should be able to get at least 4 new dragons.

Just like last race we get Heroic orbs only once. I would rather go back to getting H orbs 3 times & get less food. I'm sure other people would have different preferences but I would be happy with just the XL food chest instead getting 3 food chests & probably food from Luck Legendary chest.

I don't think they would change to old format - they keep selling the triple H orbs now and the specific H 120 orbs .

The contents of last chest on lap 30 is kinda “meh”. Almost insulting for finishing the race, imo.

@nynaevelan yay... that means we can hatch them in a few years (hint, SP.... increase the hatching station)

I have another question:

Did you guys notice the pictogram?

we don't need to get the Talisman if all I care about is the Heroic dragon, right?

From my understanding you will need it to get the bonus skill. If you do not want the bonus skill then no you don't need to do that part. But I am thinking to get them is going to cost a lot.

thanks Nyna, that was my original question, but I thought I did misinterpreted the pictogram.

@gemspender I don't remember if they have sold orbs of old heroics or just the most recent ones. I liked getting orbs of some of the old ones.

the triple offer usually has a triangle looking button to move the current three kinds of H orbs selection to go to the next one.

It is usually from Book 1 to current one (4?).

So, yeah. it is just more P2W than ever nowadays.

@dragonista cut off of the newest were high frozen/ethereal.

I hope they don’t make a habit of this multi-attack which is boulder dragon on steroids. Bad enough titans are such a pain. To have a heroic hit me with 5 hits before I can even get off a shot is disgusting. Even boulder doesn’t proc 5 hits that often. It usually procs one or two hits

@bettina-löffler Thanks for always posting the chart

@bettina-löffler Are we still able to do the cheap food and the Terra dragons for the breeds on this race?

Strangely, the banner seems to have changed. It now says “x 3-4 hits”. Not 5. They must have heard you.

@titania i think only heroic gets x5. The other new ones get 3-4 automatically, i think.

Yes. Nothing changed.

Can someone confirmed if the spin has been improve from last race ratio of full node completion to just +1?

@gemspender said in ***Heroic Race, July 23 - Aug 3,2020***:

Kind of early to determine that, who would spend so much on refreshing the free spins this early when it is cheaper to buy out the completion.

I agree but I thought we have regulars here that wants to reach lap 30, in which case, they would want to be lap 14 by now. or something similar.

Last race, that change on spin burn me a lot of gems, but I could not back out because I already committed to a goal and done so many stupid speed up.

I hope I don't get a Light Titan on reaching lap 19. I will hate myself forever for using up those 100 orbs.

@gemspender Hmm I don't know if they would be that high that fast. I would love to know what their daily lap goals are. One day I might try to push upwards but I don't think I race strategically enough to get the most bang for my gems. Besides I usually start very strong in the beginning and by day 5 I am burned out and bored and then I slow down. When I hit lap 15 mentally my brain shuts down and I lose the inspiration to keep going strong to get past lap 20.

@bettina-löffler
How do we get the talisman? Where do we get the green things to get the talisman pieces?

Check the ingame banner. I think we can get them from the next 2 events.

Hi. The timed rewards between 16 > 17 and 17 > 18 are swopped. Its frostfire first and then tectonic.

Thanks again for the guide.

@gilberto-silva Thanks for heads up. I changed it.

Thanks for the guide. The SP seems to have had an attack of bitter remorse after the last race, there's not a single node with a 25 hours wait time again I like this race like no other lately. First, I am getting 3 new dragons out of it, and second, nobody in my race actually wants anything, otherwise I wouldn't have 4 laps lead after just 5 completed laps. I wonder if I can get beyond lap 20 this time, never did that before

Could have sworn there’s no back to back to back timed laps. I think 19-20 are legendary joker orbs timed lap. 18-19 is titan egg not timed.
16-17 frost, then tectonic 17-18 both timed.
18-19 titan egg Not timed
19-20 legend joker orbs timed
I think.....

@michael-lon I see. I will ask them to recheck. Something is wrong there.

The timed orbs ate pretty clever this race. For the legendary orbs, its a guaranteed one star even if you don’t make the time. The next lap with the same orbs is a guaranteed 2 star, untimed.... they are making the time bonus a real bonus

With the heroic orbs, if you dint make time, you only get 40 but a later lap has 80 orbs.... and a deeper lap has 200. So it eases the stress a bit and gives a better option.

Only few gripes i see do far is i still see some food/gold wait times to be insanely long, meaning it exceeds the wait time on fights by a wide margin, making strategic free spins null and void. Also, the could be a bit more generous On the lap 30 chest since it takes a lot of work to get there.

Also,

I am sorry but if you are referring to lap 17 to 18, my reward screen is showing a TIMER.
So is the next one lap 18 to 19 so I don't know if your analysis still applies as you quoted above that there is NO back to back TIMER laps.

I would really like for you if possible to be specific in which laps are you referring to while we wait for @Bettina-Löffler to get back on official lap timers.

@gemspender the timers are on laps 17 and 18, which means you have to complete 16 and 17 on time to get 17 and 18. Lap 19 has no timer ( titan egg).... that’s 18-19 transition. Timer again on lap 20, which is the 19-20 transition. So timers on 17, 18, 20, NOT 19. You get a one lap break on titan egg lap.

Earlier, i said there is no back to back to back )3x), but there is back to back (2x). Just thought I’d clear that up.

@michael-lon thanks, because it does get confusing.

Suppose we get the complete Talisman (sea part + flame part) and the High Tectonic dragon, do we get to choose which attack we can upgrade to the ×5 hit special skill or is it predetermined? A simple "yes" or "no" as an answer would suffice.

do we know in advance which event starts when? bc im stopped in my tracks for this race, breeders and hatchery blocked from the alliance chest.

Most likely no, but this is just a guess on my part but I am sure they have decided which attack will be boosted.

Also, on the banner it does list the dates....

Ugh, 4 new breedable dragons during a race....very, very bad SP. I am going to save myself the aggravation and buy Sidemen. I am not too keen on the look of the Youtuber dragons so I will slowly try for them in the breeding island as the race permits. Not wasting too many gems nor clogging my hatchery during a race.

It used to be that HR, they give us good dragons to breed that we can breed them, use gems and get points for the race. Since the Breeding Islands are INFAMOUS for producing nil results, I will use Terra/Terra only in race or Millennium (5-star).

@gemspender said in ***Heroic Race, July 23 - Aug 3,2020***:

i noticed more players are getting the breeding islands than before but my observations were that they are not usually English speakers. Is there a priorities on SP side to do favorable breeding results on a class of players?

where can i put this observation @Nynaevelan . I/You can edit this message later and/or leave below H topic message.

Put it in the limited breeding topic in the breeding section. Though I am not sure I understand your last statement though I will add a caveat to this and say in prior races I have never done any type of breeding during a race other than my usual volcano/flame until after I have reached my goals for that race. But even so my memory does not recall me doing many limited breeds during many races. And for them to add this at the beginning of a race...I am not for that, especially for such ugly dragons...I feel like Vanessa when I look at these, they just do not appeal to me at all and this is bad because I am usually eager to add all to my collection.

FYI I am not saying that SP seems to be showing favorable conditions to "non English speaking" players but I will say based on many of the posts I see in my facebook groups it does seem that many of the players posting and bragging about successes in most of the features do seem to be from non American regions. What language they speak I cannot say. Now this leads me to two assumptions, either most Americans are not posting and bragging or the results are skewed more against the American regions. Is it SP doing something to skew these results? Are these more hacking/cheating players boasting? Or legitimate players who are being successful? I don't know but it does make one wonder. And this is something I have been seeing happening for years, so this is not a new thing.

FYI didn't you say the other day you were posting from Japan, so based on your theory wouldn't you be in one of those favorable regions?

Before I tried to save money, i don't do Terra/Terra at all. I just breed normal dragons and hatch them.

My reasoning is that, I want the dragons - i.e > Legacy, so I breed them, having points for HR nodes is secondary to the breeding/hatching.

Until I decided, I am tired of spending too much for nothing.

At beginning of day 2, I feel things are going well. I am on L6N3 and am in lead by 1.5 laps. Have used no gems & no free spin. VR chest for reaching L3 gave me Stonework which I already had. Epic chest for reaching L6 gave me a new dragon, Hope.

On 6.4 now, so far I've gotten Raino and Electron as rewards. I find this race is going slowly, I've spent a few gems less than 15.

These 3 dragons will be in the Cataclysm Maze island too. I will try to get one of them from there.
