It's another mode made to benefit the p2w crowd just like I predicted.
The rest of us? Looks like we get puny, insulting amounts of Gems.
F@(K YOU IGG!

I think it seems reasonable. The rewards are obtainable for f2p players, and if you want to chuck insane amounts of money, you can get the elite cards. It's not like a F2P can EVER compete with the likes of Mikhal anyway, so extra toys for them to play with is all well and good in my book. They deserve it for keeping the game running.
If I look at cards like the new Azure Dragon as something to aim for, it would just be stressful- so instead I'm looking at the rewards for top 2000. I'm sat at 974 currently, which would net me 1500 gems. Unlikely I'm actually going to finish there, but hey- that's a pretty solid reward. And the 4* neander reward for 500k fame looks decent.
A few calculations- the elite level is very beatable for me, and rewards 2k fame. That means to reach 500k fame, I'd need 50 5 scroll refreshes over 10 days. 5 5 refreshes per day. Should be manageable- which means for 25 auto/skips per day I can get 540 gems, a cool 4*, and possibly some rank rewards.
If you don't want to pay money, what exactly are you expecting? This and the tournament are extremely good for F2P, I think.
*Edit*
Upon re-reading the description, I may have misinterpreted the refresh. If it's only 1 scroll per refresh and not all 5, as it looks like, then obviously it'll be very different. But a good amount of gems should still be obtainable over the event, I expect.

Ok, so the refresh is a full 5 scrolls. That means that it is indeed possible to get decent rewards from this as F2P.
Aim to get into the top 2000 if you can, any more than that is a bonus. It's more gems and that's it- don't expect to be given epic cards for free.

It's more gems and that's it- don't expect to be given epic cards for free. Not to mention the difference of servers, hope I can make it top 2000 also since in my Arena I'm roaming around Top 100 in the past 3 weeks. When I can finally get the melds I wanted it will boost more chances for me. I only purchase more than 1500 gems so far only but been a star so most of the time im F2P also. Hope it will turn out positive but I wont expect more so no disappointments.

Does anyone know how the strength of the opponent deck is determined? As in Raid based on your own strength or completely independent from your own deck? So far I faced some pretty tough decks in Elite, though it also varied quite a lot.

So far I faced some pretty tough decks in Elite, though it also varied quite a lot. There are 3 Phases the Mortal, Elite and Heroic. I already tried Mortal and Elite and so far I was matched up in Mortal mode within more or less my Level. On the Elite mode I was matched against more than 10 levels above my level so I guess it will be more on Heroic level also.

I tried heroic once and got paired with a lv3 Armageddon with a full deck of melded disposal/revive/recycle. Not trying that again in a hurry.

use your raid decks here I can reliably clear the hardest difficulty since your opponent is determined from current deck power but the rewards are always roughly the same

I don't know what it is about Deck Heroes, but it really is the most blatantly-pandering game I've ever played, as far as P2W is concerned... It's strange because most of the other IGG titles aren't nearly as bad as Deck Heroes when it comes to this; maybe it's being published by a different international division or something, which is why there's such a disparity. Anyway, yeah this Sky Arena thing is just another money-grab. I shouldn't be disappointed at this point, because it's pretty clear now that IGG doesn't add new content or gameplay unless it's tightly bound to new monetization. As far as I'm concerned, this game mode is just a new feature to incentivise gem purchases via the Altar and refreshes (and of course, the cost versus benefit is grossly skewed and unfavorable to the casual player, as always). Okay, that's my rant for the month. giraffe-mode off, for now...

This is actually an awesome event for everyone in this game. During 10 days we get guaranteed 540 gems and Kirin (fame rewards). If you have half of a brain you can farm 60k+ points per day without spending gems (all it takes is a Thalassa and some basic 4* cards). Plus there is extra chance to finish in the top2000 rankings for extra gems.
Tons of freebies for all players, plus some nice cards for the players who paid money. Yes money solves most problems in this world, not only in video games.
Edit: Just big LOL at people who just rant before actually doing some basic analysis. People should just make the best decision for their current team/deck rather than complaining mikhal getting stronger.

This is definitely not a P2W event, EVERYONE has a chance, you just need a good deck. 5 scrolls every 2 hours? Easy, plus you still get rewards.

Time consuming is probably the only issue here - while it's every 2 hours it's for 10 days though rewards are looking solid

Mikhal here. Even though i am ptw, i am disagreeing on the bonus cards bonuses. The cards are simply giving too much bonus and it makes a big difference between ppl that have them and ppl that doesnt. To obtain them, you have to turn to the altar and the rate is simply depressing(at least for me)... 40000 gems and not even a featured bonus 4 star card not to say the normal 5 stars!lol.This event imo should be made purely like a grind event without the bonus cards but igg is never going to do that. If you want to get seriously competitive then this event is going to cost a bomb for players with terrible luck (like me)

I'm top 1000 and I've spent $24 It's obvious if you want top rewards you need top decks, how does that make it a P2W event? Everyone is getting a reward for playing. To add to that, top 500 will be easy as pie.

After having tried it I have to say I feel really stupid for not realizing that you get scrolls every 2 hours earlier.
This isn't so bad lol. I mean I just started playing about literally 5 days ago? Yeah, I think this is fine.

Well, i think it's ofc a p2w event(like almost everything in this game), but it's also really good for f2p players since, as others said before me, you can easily get a good amount of gems and also angel prime if your able to climb till top 500. I'm actually around the rank 200, but ofc i don't expect to stay here for long, but i'll fight as much as i can to get angel prime. And talking about the "money---->refresh", yes it's true, but u can do that just for 5 times, then you must wait every 2 hours like everyone. I think that the most important things in this event are: time to play(if your able to log in every 2 hours so you can use your free scrolls), the event cards(huuuuuge bonus fame coming from them) and a good deck.

I mean if you want to get 1st, you HAVE to refresh. No brainer there. So it is technically a P2W event.
But all mobile games boil down to P2W at the top end, regardless of how well made it is. If there is an avenue for spending money to get an advantage, a good money player always beats a good F2P player, as it should be.
For an example of what's possible, check out Naruto's deck. Full of melded 4*, great 5* cards. He has a great *almost* F2P deck, but he will never match a Mikhal for sheer power. But top 100 in arena is still an awesome feat, and I don't doubt he'll finish well in this too.
There are some great rewards on offer here to help out F2P- I mean, they're giving away close to 500 angel primes- that's pretty cool. And although they're making an absolute killing from people refreshing, they're giving away a shitton of gems too.

Ranked 180 sky arena atm. Only played with free attempts, didn't spend one single gem, don't have any fame cards. 45k points so far. Auto-battle most of the fights, its really easy rewards. Don't even need a good deck.

Okay guys, I'm compiling all the tips I got (I learned so much too late ) 1. LOW POWER DECKS ARE KING. Raid decks work, hero killing is achievable even in the highest difficulty with low power. (3k below) 2. BONUS CARDS ARE GODLY. But beware the power spike they give. Lucky Sage is a good filler for curse decks. DO NOT EVOLVE THEM DURING THE EVENT BECAUSE IT WILL INCREASE POWER. 3. TIME YOUR SCROLLS. To check when you get 5 scrolls, just click on the + sign beside them and the pop-up has the refresh time. 4. NEVER MORTAL. If you can handle Mortal difficulty, you can most likely handle the higher one. Beware the highest though when using 7k power decks. You'll face 8k+ decks like Mikhal's. 5. REFRESH? The phrasing is 5 refreshes. Unknown if per day or for the entire event. 600 - 6k gems. Cheaper than hoping for a card bonus in Altar. ONLY USE IMMEDIATELY AFTER USING ALL SCROLLS. Ideally at the last day, spam it. 6. Chill. It's a game.

Definitely favors p2w more, but still pretty cool. Probably several 100k will be spent during the event just at the alter to get bonus cards.
