Light Essence Availability

Does anyone know how long light essence will be in game? I’m tempted to keep getting weekly specials for Lumatrix, but would hate to get started with them and end up with 11 or something

    I don't think Kabam has decided or announced when it will expire. Keep saving up for the 7* if that's realistic for you in the near future.

    Thank you, that’s really helpful to know.

    It will swap over to the essence for the next Eidol in June (with the new Saga).

    2 chases in each saga seem to me to be a bit tiring
    They've been pretty passive so far imo
    I mean, accepting the fact that there is almost no point in one of the chases (at the moment) - for those who do not play Celestial in GC or farm arenas or don't donate
    So how is it tiring for you then exactly? Do you mean you're tired from complaining while others actually do the chase?

    Good evening, I hope to have an answer it would be nice of you :) why didn't you allow to have more than 12 free gasoline for an idol? I exclude the top 1 in versus and top 100 in bg it's impossible for most people, thank you

    Eidols are regular release champions, each taking up one of the slots in our 23 champion regular release roadmap. In fact, because of their unique designs, they are some of the more resource intensive regular release champions. If we start giving those champions away for free to tens of thousands of players we would be out of business pretty quickly. We were generous with Isophene because it was our tenth anniversary but it's not viable to make that the norm.
    Will they be added to the basics at some point down the line like the other 23 champions?

    Will we be able to get idols in a different way in a few years, or can you only get them for a small period of time?

    They will be available in the basics, afaik. Isophyne is in the 6* basics now.

    The 7* will be as well but because they skip the titan it'll be hard to say when.

    Does that mean the ones we've collected will swap over or it will change to whatever the new one is? Or does it reset?

    I think it will be the second type of essence, and the first one will remain with you. If this is not the case, then this is a VERY STUPID decision in relation to players who hoped that later somehow collect the old essence when it is possible (if it is possible). After all, up to 12, you are missing at most 2-3 Essences, if you are not an avid donater

    So no lumatrix for free2play - so kabam better not add a content where u need to bring Eidol champs

    They already addressed this in the life stream talking about him they said most summoners will have to spend to get him cause the free ways will be very difficult to get like finishing first in a featured arena grind having to explore the awsc ordeal etc getting to gc and finishing in celestial for extra

    This is a good point, though. Will there be something in the future for which we will need to use eidol champions?

    U read my point half ?? If it's just another champ then it's ok but if they make a content & objective be used only Eidol champ - that's the main concern as they won't be in the Titan .

    People skipped deathless champ & in many people stream they ask
    - will the deathless champ be available in future or not?
    - is spending 5k per piece when they are missing some piece is worth the units or not ?
    - now in Bgs if u play everyone has a R3 or R4 Thanos in deck

    So, how many light essences can be obtained for free, without finishing first in the arena or finishing in top 100 of BG? I'm currently at 7 without doing the above and without spending.

    Thanos roadmap was laid out from the start. Unless you started playing the game after the deathless chase started, it was made clear we will need all deathless champs for Thanos. I don't think they will make objectives specifically for eidols, but they can make objectives where the eidols are one of the best counters to reward summoners who went after the chase, which is pretty normal for many years in the game

    Right, I've seen this one, but, except raids, it doesn't say how many can you get total for BGs (1 per season, but how many seasons are in the saga?) and incursions (only one or there is going to be another round?).

    1 more light essence from next BG season, that's it. I was pretty sure pure ftp could get 7 but with the raids compensation that would make it 8 for anyone who completed the raid and got compensation

    I think that’s fair.

    But - Does this mean that there won’t be a Deathless-Like Quest or challenge related to having all the Eidols? I think knowing that one way or the other would be super informative and helpful in deciding what to do.
