[PART 7] LFW Gameplay - Fated Connections
Author: Nhan Nguyen
Skill, Ki, equipment… You think those are enough for your heroes? Absolutely not, Legends of Fantasy War offer you much more than that! Heroes in the game are intertwined with each other, forming numerous unique interactions and diversifying the pool of viable heroes and team formations. What you are reading in this article is called FATE.
WHAT IS FATE?
In general, Fate is a connection between the heroes in LFW. Each hero has its “match” and once paired with the match, the heroes that form the connection will gain extra stats and a unique ability.
You can take reference from the FATE section in the “Party” button. This will show you all existing fate connections between the heroes in LFW and every single piece of information you need to know.
HOW TO ACTIVATE FATE?
In order to activate a fate connection, you need to meet all its requirements for materials:
Chance Stone: used exclusively in Fate and varies in colors/grades. Each connection has its corresponding Chance Stone. For instance, a Green connection requires Green Chance Stones.
NFT Shards: they can be Mysterious Shards or specific Hero Shards, depending on the connections. These shards can be obtained in Tavern, Crusade, Mock Battle, Treasure Hunt or purchased on LFW Marketplace.
Gold: a universal currency in LFW, which can be obtained in a lot of activities.
The bonuses of a fate connection can only be activated manually, this means the connection will not have effects even when you have all the required materials.
The above pictures illustrate the heroes and materials required to form an Emei Fate connection between the three heroes New Moon, Zoziru and Little Sinister. You need all those three heroes available, 50 Chance Stone (Level 3), 250 Hero Shards of each hero above plus 5 million Gold. As you can see, these connections do not come cheap at all but the benefits are exceptional.
BENEFITS
A connection grants two distinct assets:
Bonus stats: including Attack, Defend, Evasion, HP etc. The bonuses of higher grade connections provide stronger bonuses. The stats only have effect when all heroes of the connection are present in the battle.
Ancient Grave Sect grants two stats, which are Evasion and Critical to Ancient Tomb, Sorrow Witch and Kaida.
Special skills: unique abilities that only appear in the battle once the connection is activated and the heroes are present. These skills have an array of effects, either offensive or defensive. They can enhance the power of the squad, heal everyone or deal massive damage to the enemies. All Fate skills have their own cooldown and it is counted based on the turns of the battle.
Ancient Grave Sect’s Special skill makes critical hits have 75% chance to Stun enemies for 2 turns and it can only be used once every 5 turns.
The more heroes required to form a connection, the more stats granted to them in the battle. Since the bonuses are only applied when all connected heroes are deployed, discharging one of them will result in the loss of bonus stats as well as the Fate skill being disabled.
COUNTLESS AVENUES TO EXPLORE
The diversity in LFW increases with Fate as players can pursue different playstyles and can target a specific setup according to their preferences.
Furthermore, Fate also gives players goals to achieve as activating connections demand a significant amount of materials so one can consider Fate an ultra late game feature. Yet looking at the benefits it brings, no one can deny how powerful Fate is.
