New Immortal: Jadwiga

Jadwiga is a new Epic Earth support Immortal using Bowmen. She will be obtained through Elemental Bond.

Her skill, Twin Crowns, targets the allied units with the highest Physical Attack and Magical Attack, increasing their Attack Speed and damage dealt for six seconds.

At maximum skill level, Twin Crowns provides:

• 25% additional Attack Speed
• 60% additional damage dealt
• Six-second duration

Her Exclusive Artifact extends Twin Crowns by another three seconds, potentially increasing the buff duration to nine seconds. The recommended primary attributes are Dodge Rate or Physical Attack Bonus.

Those are impressive numbers, but Jadwiga’s real value depends on how well she performs inside existing formations. Her skill looks particularly interesting because it is designed to support both a physical and magical carry at the same time.

Can Jadwiga Revive Alexander Builds?

The important comparison is not simply whether Jadwiga is a strong Earth support. The real question is whether she can outperform one of the established support choices in the familiar Alexander, Zenobia and Qin Shi Huang structure.

The most obvious first experiment will be replacing Qin with Jadwiga while retaining Zenobia’s sustain. Jadwiga offers direct Attack Speed and damage amplification, allowing Alexander to apply greater physical pressure while the strongest magical attacker receives the same offensive support.

This becomes especially interesting in formations combining Alexander with Himiko or Loki. Alexander should normally hold the highest Physical Attack, while Himiko or Loki provides the highest Magical Attack. Twin Crowns is therefore naturally positioned to buff both primary carries rather than concentrating the entire formation around Alexander alone.

On paper, the combination is extremely aggressive:

• Alexander benefits from additional Attack Speed and damage.
• Himiko or Loki receives support for the magical side of the formation.
• Zenobia can remain in place to provide the sustain needed to keep both carries active.

A more extreme version could replace Zenobia instead, keeping Qin and Jadwiga together for maximum offensive pressure. That would sacrifice much of the formation’s durability, however, and may leave it too vulnerable in a meta dominated by powerful burst and control effects.

Alexander hybrid formations have been losing a lot of battles lately, so Jadwiga arrives at a useful time. Her dual-carry support could provide the extra pressure these teams have been missing, but her numbers alone do not guarantee a return to the top of the meta.

Several details will need live testing:

• How quickly Jadwiga casts Twin Crowns
• Whether it consistently selects Alexander and the intended magical carry
• How much uptime the Exclusive Artifact provides in practice
• Whether the added damage compensates for losing Qin’s utility
• Whether the formation remains durable enough against current top teams

Jadwiga may prove to be the missing piece for Alexander plus Himiko/Loki builds, or the Zenobia-Qin pairing may remain more consistent. Either way, she creates a genuinely interesting formation question rather than simply adding another interchangeable Earth support.

Ghost Fiesta and Night of Terror

Ghost Fiesta will be the seasonal event arriving in October, bringing Infinity Kingdom’s Halloween theme back to Norheim.

The event introduces the limited Night of Terror outfit series, beginning with new appearances for:

• Fu Fei
• Louis IX

Both outfits will be obtained through Ghost Fiesta. We can assume that these will either replace or be added in similarly to the Alexander and Athena skins. Most likely, we will have both Alexander and Louis from fishing and both Athena and Fu Fei from Dazzling Wish.

The New Gilded Club Event

Gilded Club is a new event containing four connected activities:

• VIP Pass
• Max Bounty
• Fortune Wheel
• Private Treasure Gallery

Rather than being a single mini-game, Gilded Club appears to be a complete event structure with daily progression, repeatable quests, wheel rewards and its own exchange shop.

VIP Pass

The Gilded Club Battle Pass is divided into Silver Insignia and Gold Insignia reward tracks. Players complete daily missions to earn EXP and raise the pass level.

Max Bounty

Max Bounty becomes available at Castle level 15.

Players can select Bounty Quests of different difficulties, with harder quests providing better rewards. Quests refresh every hour, while completed quests award Bounty Points used to unlock Progress Chests.

Fortune Wheel

The Fortune Wheel uses dedicated event items and includes both Auto Mode and adjustable spin multipliers.

As players spin, the wheel accumulates Energy. Reaching 100% triggers Gold Rush, reducing the cost of the next spin by 20%.

The wheel also has a daily leaderboard based on Wheel Points. Rankings settle every 24 hours, after which the daily points reset.

Private Treasure Gallery

The Private Treasure Gallery is the Gilded Club exchange shop. Exclusive tokens earned during the event can be exchanged for Surprise Gifts.

The real value of Gilded Club will depend on the Battle Pass rewards, wheel probabilities and Gallery prices. We will examine those separately once the event is available.

Witch Forest

Ghost Fiesta is also receiving a new board-style activity called Witch Forest.

Players consume Magic Wands to move around the board and activate different tiles:

• Candy Magic

  guarantees Candy.

• Surprise Magic

  triggers a random event and an immediate extra spin.

• Reward tiles

  provide the displayed resources directly.

Candies have different rarities and point values. Accumulating Candy Points unlocks Progress Chests.

Surprise Magic can also trigger two special bonuses:

• Multiplier Event:

  Multiplies the rewards earned.

• Jackpot Event:

  Awards every reward along the travelled path.

The main strategic question will be how easily Magic Wands can be collected and how many are required to complete the Progress Chests.

All in all, sounds like a new mini-game like the addition of the 2064 game. And I expect this to be something for minor rewards, a couple insignias and some fun!

Artifact Upgrade Protection

Patch 3.0.0 also adds a useful safeguard when developing Artifacts.

When rare materials are about to be consumed during Artifact Upgrade or Development, the game will display a second confirmation prompt. This should make it harder to accidentally spend valuable materials on the wrong artifact.

Summary

Patch 3.0.0 is led by Jadwiga, October’s Halloween-themed Ghost Fiesta and the completely new Gilded Club event.

For competitive players, Jadwiga is the most interesting addition. Her ability to support the strongest physical and magical attackers simultaneously makes her a natural candidate for Alexander plus Himiko/Loki formations. Whether she replaces Qin, replaces Zenobia or fails to break the established Zenobia-Qin pairing will depend on live testing.
