CONTEST OF REALMS
Start: April 7, 2021 @ 10AM (PT)End: May 5, 2021 @ 10AM (PT)
Platinumpool would argue that this party will never end - but fear not, Summoners - we will make sure you’re not stuck at one of Platinumpool’s parties for eternity. Platinumpool is fussing, but no, I will not repeat Platinumpool’s rant, no matter how much he wanted me to.
Quest TL;DR:
Complete Solo Objectives > Claim Keys (from Solo Objective) > Open Quest > Run Path(s) > Earn Rewards > Repeat
Solo Objectives and Getting Key
So, you will have to claim Keys by completing particular Solo Objectives. A new Solo Objective (with Key) will unlock EACH DAY, so we won’t ruin the surprise. Once you find out what you have to do to complete the daily Solo Objective to claim a Key, do it, and claim the Key. These daily Solo Objectives will be open until the end of the event once they unlock. YES, YOU CAN DO THE SOLO OBJECTIVES ANY TIME AFTER THEY APPEAR AND/OR ACCUMULATE KEYS, IF YOU WANT.
Note: You will have to play other parts of the game in order to complete these Solo Objectives, e.g. Arena, Event Quest, etc.
Unlock Quest (Paths)
One Key will unlock the Quest once only!
Then, use the Key to unlock the Quest. The Quest will require NO ENERGY to complete. You can only bring in three (3) Champions this time. In the Quest, you will see seven (7) paths. It is YOUR CHOICE to either do the paths, or you can take the straight path to the Boss (yes, there will be a straight path to the Boss). But, if you skip the other paths, you will also skip the rewards on those paths. Simple.
In case you quit the Quest before you finish it, any rewards you have already earned will still be yours to keep; but you will not get the Key back.
Note: Fights along the other paths do contribute to the other Solo Objectives (in addition to the above daily ones) so it would be wise to do them, if you can!
Randomised Fights, Rewards and Boss (Limited Pool)
The seven (7) fights along the paths will be randomised daily, from a limited pool. The one (1) Boss will also be randomised daily, from a limited pool. The seven (7) rewards nodes along the paths will also be randomised daily AND when your finish (defeat Boss) the path. This means if you do the Quest multiple times in a day, the fights and rewards will be randomised each time you finish (defeat the Boss) the Quest.
IMPORTANT **Images below are intended to show Quest paths structure only. Champions and reward items will be randomised from a limited pool, per above.

Difficulties and Universal Key
This Quest will be available in 4 Difficulties and the Keys are universal (there will only be one kind of Key!) so you can use the Key to unlock whichever one Difficulty you want to do:
- Heroic
- Master
- Epic
- Legendary
Your Day-to-Day
So, your April (and a bit of May) days will look like:- Complete daily solo objective to claim a Key
- Unlock Quest (same Quest; refreshes daily/path completion) with a Key
- Run path(s); defeat Boss; earn rewards (Path Rewards and eventually, Solo Objectives)
Rewards
**Note that the Path Rewards listed below are the pools from which the path rewards may present daily. So, these are the possibilities of rewards that you MAY see along the paths daily. There is NO GUARANTEE of any particular reward showing up at any exact node or exact time.
Important Note: Rewards
Rewards are credited to your inventory directly and will not be presented to you in a dialogue box at the end. Again, the rewards are going to be credited to your inventory directly as you collect them along the paths and will not be displayed in a dialogue box again at the end.Post edited by Kabam Boo on

Honestly, I’m okay since I already snagged myself a Platpool last year, but I’m a little surprised. Other than that, this looks like a super fun event and different enough day-to-day and from other events to be interesting all month through. Congrats on solid game design!
I so hope it means you can just 'draw' out a patch and your champs will do their thing until completion. That would be awesome!
