How to Obtain Gretel Hagbane

To successfully fuse Gretel Hagbane, here’s the roadmap:

Complete All 16 Activities for Denid the Tusk Knight: Each activity rewards you with a Denid, the Rare Champion required for the fusion.
Summon Rush Shortcut (Optional): On November 8, you can participate in the Summon Rush event to acquire Signy of Highshield, the Epic Champion also needed for the fusion. If successful, this allows you to skip four activities, potentially saving resources.
Fuse Signy of Highshield: Four copies of Denid the Tusk Knight will fuse into one Signy, and you’ll need four Signys to fuse Gretel Hagbane.

Recommended Strategy for Completing the Event

Commit to All 16 Activities: Completing every activity guarantees the necessary champions to fuse Gretel, avoiding any last-minute issues.
Summon Rush as a Back-Up Plan: The Summon Rush event on November 8 can be used as a fallback if you wish to skip up to four activities by securing Signy directly. However, this strategy may risk missing Gretel if the Summon Rush fails.
Resource Management: Stockpile energy, silver, and essential artifacts in preparation for the multi-stage events, as they will demand steady resources.

Gretel Hagbane’s Skills and Abilities

Gretel Hagbane’s skills make her a formidable champion with both offensive and support capabilities, especially when paired with her companion, Hansel Witchhunter. Here’s a breakdown of her abilities:

Evil Undone: A powerful attack with a chance to place a significant [Decrease DEF] debuff on enemies.
Shadowseeker Bolts: Delivers a four-hit attack that progressively ignores more of the target’s DEF. Resets cooldowns if this skill kills an enemy.
Sacred Ritual: Reduces the turn meters of all enemies, with an increased effect if Hansel Witchhunter is also on the team.
Sisterly Bond [P]: A passive that boosts Gretel’s turn meter whenever an enemy takes an extra turn and triggers additional effects if Hansel is present.

Important Considerations for Traditional Fusions

Traditional fusion events in RAID require meticulous planning due to their time constraints. The Gretel Hagbane fusion is no exception, and players must level and ascend champions to meet the requirements. Here’s what you’ll need:

Denid the Tusk Knight: 16 copies, leveled and ascended to Rank 4 (Level 40).
Signy of Highshield: 4 copies, leveled to Rank 5 (Level 50).

Materials Required for Leveling:

48 Rank 3 Chickens and 16 Rank 4 Chickens for Denid and Signy leveling. Ascension Potions: Arcane, Void, and Magic potions will be required, especially Void potions which are only available on Sundays.

Events and Tournaments with Boosted Rewards

During the fusion, RAID will offer boosted rates on specific artifacts in dungeons. Here’s when to watch for these boosts:

November 1: x2 Retaliation set artifacts at Ice Golem’s Peak. November 4: x2 Speed set artifacts at Dragon’s Lair. November 7: x2 Regeneration set artifacts at Fire Knight’s Castle. November 10: x2 Sacred Order Accessories at Spider’s Den.

Tips to Maximize Points in Events

Champion Training Events: Level up champions incrementally to maximize points. Consider using XP brews to prepare for feeding or promoting champions to the next rank.
Artifact Enhancement Events: Upgrade artifacts steadily over the event period to spread out silver consumption.
Dungeon Tournaments: Choose the highest-efficiency stages based on your resources and aim for steady participation.

FAQ Section

What happens if I miss an activity? If you skip an activity, it’s likely you won’t be able to collect all 16 Denid copies unless you participate in the Summon Rush on November 8 to earn Signy.

Can I still get Gretel Hagbane if I don’t complete all 16 activities? Yes, but only if you succeed in the Summon Rush event on November 8, as this will allow you to skip up to four activities.

What resources should I prioritize for this fusion? Energy potions, silver, and ascension potions (especially Void potions) are essential for success in this event.

Are there other champions required for the fusion? No, you only need Denid the Tusk Knight and Signy of Highshield for the Gretel Hagbane fusion.
