[Review] Analysis of the Midsummer Festival in Infinity Kingdom

💠Introduction

What’s up, folks? Welcome to my article, where I will be taking a closer look at the latest event in Infinity Kingdom, the Midsummer Festival event. This event is the annual monthly event that generally makes its way around mid-July. It’s generally a good chance for players to get valuable rewards for free. Some items may not be worth it for certain tiers of players to spend resources chasing at a certain point, so let’s take a look at where the value lies.

💠Overview

The event started on Monday, July 13, and will last until the end of Wednesday, July 22. Players have 10 days to complete all the tasks and collect the rewards they want. The event is divided into numerous parts: sign-in rewards, a progression task, a battle pass, challenges and trials, a reward draw, and two different shops. Some parts of the event are easier to do than others, but not all rewards and quests are worth doing or spending money on, especially for certain types of players.

💠Koi Gift Pack and Sign-in Rewards

This is the easiest part of the event. All players have to do is sign in every day, navigate to the event section, and claim rewards. Players can claim a Token of Light each day. These tokens do not expire and can be used for future events. Even if you do not have time to do every part of the event every day, this is a good opportunity to collect Token of Light for a little time invested, and allow you to try your hand at Dazzling Wish or save them for future events. In addition to the free sign-in rewards, there is a lottery ticket system for players who purchase the Lucky Koi Gift Packs. There are two packs every two days in case players missed days so they can still make the five day requirement. The first bundle costs $4.99 and gives five Tokens of Light and 1,500 Magic Fishing Nets. The second bundle costs $9.99 and gives ten Tokens of Light and 3,000 Magic Fishing Nets. Every two days, one lucky winner from all purchasers will be chosen to receive 4,250 Eternal Grails to use in the Grail Shop as well as a Lucky Koi - Leader insignia that gives 0.5% Physical Attack Bonus. The best part is, if you purchase the Koi Gift Pack five times and don’t win the grand prize, you will still receive 850 Eternal Grail as a consolation prize, which can be used to purchase Chaos Immortal Chests, shards, or a number of other items. Players will also receive the Lucky Koi - Elite insignia which gives 0.3% Crit Rate. Both insignias give valuable stats.

💠Summer Passion Battle Pass

This event’s Battle Pass features Alexander's Summer Passion outfit, which changes his ultimate effect. The pass is worth the cost if you use Alexander and want to make him effectively as strong as a Chaos Immortal. There are two tiers of rewards and 30 levels to complete. The free tier offers a total of 30 Tokens of Light. The premium tier costs $49.99 and gives an additional 120 tokens, 6,000 Gems, 5,000 Magic Fishing Nets, and 60 Alexander’s Summer Passion Fragments. 

To increase the level of the pass, there are 7 missions a day that players can complete for 100 EXP each. Each level requires more and more EXP. Throughout ten days, there will be a total of about 70 tasks. You are allowed to skip a few tasks a day and still be able to complete the entire Battle Pass. The tasks range from simple ones like buying from the market to tasks that require more planning, like training a certain number of troops. You will need to train full troops more than once a day to reach 40,000 troops trained. Arena challenges, Well of Time, purchasing from the Market, Pinnacle Trial, Glorious Challenges, and defeating gnome bosses are the easiest quests to do. The quests are the same every month.

💠Fishing Contest

The Fishing Contest is open to players with Castle Level 20 or higher and can be played either solo or as a two-player team with someone from the same server. Players spend event items to spin the Fishing Net wheel, which either awards materials immediately or launches a fishing net to catch fish for points. A multiplier option lets players spend more event items per spin while proportionally increasing the number of nets launched and rewards earned. Team members share the same point total, allowing both players to unlock and claim daily Progress Chests together, although fishing can continue after all daily chests have been collected. Progress Chests and teams reset every 24 hours, requiring players to find a new teammate each day if they wish to continue playing cooperatively. In addition to the shared rewards, the event features both Daily Rankings, which reset every day and award server-wide prizes based on fishing points earned that day, and Personal Rankings, which track cumulative points across the entire event and determine the final leaderboard rewards when the event ends. Upon reaching certain thresholds of White Sharks caught, players can also claim Alexander’s Summer Passion outfit shards.

💠Glorious Challenge

Glorious Challenges are similar to Well of Time campaigns. Players select a team to tackle each challenge, and beating each challenge will net you 50 Gems for first-time clear rewards, Magic Fishing Nets, and Midsummer Festival Coins that you can trade in for rewards in the Challenge Shop. Completing each level unlocks a raid feature. Subsequent raids will earn you Magic Fishing Nets and Midsummer Festival Coins. There are two modes. The Normal Mode is available at the start of the event and goes up to level 16. The levels are extremely easy, and most players should not have much difficulty clearing them. The Hard Mode unlocks after three days and will be similar to the Elite Campaigns. You get five free attempts a day, and it refreshes every day at 0 UTC. You can also purchase up to 100 additional attempts in the shop for 8,000 Gems. Players with the fastest clear times will appear on the level’s ranking ladder. For the first three days, you should purchase enough additional attempts to net you at least enough coins to purchase everything you want in the Challenge Shop since each item has a daily purchase limit of one.

💠Pinnacle Trial

Pinnacle Trials are extremely similar to the Glorious Challenges except that players only get 1 attempt a day and cannot purchase additional tickets. The rewards are significantly better, too. There are five levels, and it offers hundreds of Random Immortal Fragments, Magic Finish Nets, and numerous Tokens of Light. After completing the levels, you can raid them to get additional rewards. The later levels are significantly more difficult since the enemies have legendary skills. Players can also challenge the top ten players on the Trial Rankings. Players get five attempts per day, and it plays like an arena battle between your selected march and the opponent’s strongest march. Every win grants points, but losses do not cost you points. After the event ends, the top ten players on the rankings will be given Tokens of Light, Judgment Realm Fragments, insignias,  and Territory Decoration Fragment Random Chests.

💠Dazzling Wish

Dazzling Wish features Eternal Grails and Athena’s Summer Passion outfit shards. Players could receive 1, 5, 25, 50, 100 Eternal Grails, 20 Athena’s Summer Passion Fragments, or a hidden surprise, which includes a hidden reward, a discount pack offer, a Token of Light, or no reward. Using 700 tokens will automatically guarantee 20 Summer Passion Fragments. Every token used will also grant you one point. The top 200 players with the most points at the end of each day will receive varying amounts of Eternal Grails. First place will also get 750 Azure Crystals and 60 Skyriver Palace Fragments. Furthermore, the top 200 players at the end of the event with the most points will also receive Hall of Divine Might Fragments, and Eternal Grails. The top 50 will also receive insignias.

Players can purchase additional Token of Light from bundles. You can get 3, 5, 8, 12, 30, and 60 tokens for $2.99, $4.99, $9.99, $19.99, $49.99, and $99.99, respectively. You can purchase up to 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 20 of each a day, respectively. There is also another one-time $49.99 bundle that features 25 tokens, and the exclusive dynamic avatar frame, Tide Drifter. The most expensive bundles per token are the $19.99, $49.99, and $49.99 ones, so I would skip those in favor of the others. The $2.99 and $4.99 bundles have the most value per dollar. Players can also get 50 free Tokens of Light from the Celebration Shop, five per day.

💠Grail Shop

Every Chaos Immortal except Loki, Poseidon, Athena, and Wukong cost 750 grails. Their respective exclusive artifacts cost 1,000 grails. Medusa’s artifact cost slightly more at 1,100 grails. Loki, Poseidon, Athena, and Wukong are in the Fate of Chaos Selection Chest I, which costs only 250 grails but has a daily purchase limit of one. This is an extremely good chance for players to get those shards for cheap. Fu Fei Fragments are only 450 grails. The shop also features an Ability Stone chest that costs 1,050 grails and contains Siren’s Gaze, Smite, Storm Strike, and Implosion. Personally, I would skip that chest. Players can also purchase lesser rewards like Equipment Forging Stone Random Chests, Stellar Core Crystals, Holy and Shadow Selection Chests, their artifact chests, and Random Territory Decoration Fragment Chests. The grails carry over to the next event as well. This is a great chance for low-spenders and free-to-play members to get cheap Chaos Immortals.

💠Challenge Shop

Players can trade in their Pinwheels  for prizes. Everyone should aim to get all the important items. Since players can purchase one set of five Tokens of Light a day, you can get up to 50 Tokens of Light throughout the entire event. Players should also aim to get the Scorching Sun avatar frame and the Starfish chatbox as those are limited-time exclusives. Players should try to get the 100 Stardust for 1,000 coins per day. The tokens and Stardust would cost a total of 3,000 coins a day. Given that you get five free challenge attempts per day and you can earn 170 coins per attempt for the first three days, it would take 12 additional attempts. After the hard mode becomes available, the required attempts will decrease.You can purchase 100 Glorious Challenge tickets for 8,000 Gems. If you raid the last level of the Hard Mode, you can get 28,000 coins with 100 challenges.

💠Summary

The Midsummer Festival introduces the Summer Passion outfits for Alexander and Athena, but it’s a poor event for Eternal Grails. There are plenty of items all types of players can get for free.
