Ancient Awakening

Metida's seven-day launch event connects Firstborn Force and Unstable Equilibrium through eight tabs, additional Event Coin rewards, and the path toward her Primordial Skin and Skin+.

Ancient Awakening is the third subevent in Metida's launch event. Some rewards come from normal participation, while others depend on repeatable objectives, resource spending, troop losses, chest openings, or progress made in the two connected subevents. The numbers below therefore separate practical participation from conditional maximums.

Eight Event Tabs

Day After Day

2,100 Event Coins total

Tactical Losses

Lose level-six troops across seven milestones ranging from 2,500 to 52,000 troops lost. The tab can be completed again after finishing a walkthrough.

5,300 Event Coins per walkthrough
Repeatable Real troop cost

Trade Route

Tracks cumulative Event Coins spent in the Event Shop from 1,500 up to 400,000. These are spending thresholds, not values to add together. The tab does not directly award additional Event Coins.

Spending thresholds

Heroic Discovery

Open Heroic Chests through milestones from 1 to 100. A complete walkthrough can be repeated. Two free Heroic Chests per day provide 14 openings over seven days, reaching 1,500 Event Coins from the early milestones.

8,500 Event Coins per full walkthrough
Repeatable

Secrets of Outland

Open Outland Chests through 150 openings. All eleven milestones form one complete walkthrough, after which the tab resets.

6,675 Event Coins per walkthrough
Repeatable Emerald route

Beyond Horizon

Start Expeditions through eight milestones, from 6 to 56. Starting eight Expeditions each day across seven days reaches the final milestone. Adventure Energy from this tab also advances the Buried Truths Season Adventure.

7,600 Event Coins total

Titan's Roar

Counts quests completed in Firstborn Force. Sixteen milestones run from 10 to 370 completed quests and provide additional rewards on top of the rewards earned from the original Firstborn Force quests.

Up to 82,850 additional Event Coins
Firstborn Force connector Conditional maximum

Elemental Tempest

Counts quests completed in Unstable Equilibrium, with milestones from 5 through 80 completed quests. At 63 quests, the standout reward is Rigel – Biomech Skin.

Up to 100,250 Event Coins
Unstable Equilibrium connector Conditional maximum

Ancient Awakening Event Coin Breakdown

Counting each repeatable tab once and completing every milestone shown produces the following theoretical Ancient Awakening total.

2,100 Day After Day

5,300 Tactical Losses

8,500 Heroic Discovery

6,675 Secrets of Outland

7,600 Beyond Horizon

82,850 Titan's Roar

100,250 Elemental Tempest

213,275 Ancient Awakening theoretical total

Important: 213,275 Event Coins is not a normal free-player expectation. It includes one completion of repeatable tabs, troop losses, chest spending, and demanding connected quests. Additional repeatable cycles can also change an individual player's total.

The Three-Subevent Picture

809,975 Event Coins — Theoretical Combined Total

Firstborn Force 412,300

Unstable Equilibrium 184,400

Ancient Awakening 213,275

Theoretical combined total 809,975

Firstborn Force's figure includes 176,750 Event Coins from VIP. Unstable Equilibrium includes VIP, Emerald spending, additional battles, and heavy resource milestones. Ancient Awakening counts each repeatable tab once. The combined figure is therefore a theoretical maximum under the stated conditions, not an ordinary player's expected income.

Conservative Participation Reference

Seven Firstborn Force logins provide 2,100 Event Coins. Seven Unstable Equilibrium logins plus 35 free attempts in each Arena provide 6,800. Ancient Awakening's seven logins, 56 Expeditions, and the milestones reached with 14 free Heroic Chests provide 11,200.

Base conservative example 20,100

Elemental Tempest unlocked through at least 21 Unstable quests +3,250

Before Titan's Roar 23,350

With 3 additional Firstborn quests reaching Titan's Roar's first milestone 23,450

This is a conservative participation example, not a ceiling. Players using saved resources or completing more Firstborn Force quests can unlock additional connector milestones.

500,000 Total Event Coin target

One Outland-Based Estimate

This scenario assumes every Firstborn Force milestone except VIP is completed. That produces 235,550 Event Coins. Completing its assumed Firstborn quest count also reaches all Titan's Roar milestones, adding 82,850.

Firstborn Force — all assumed non-VIP milestones 235,550

Titan's Roar — full connector track 82,850

Unstable Equilibrium logins + free Arena attempts 6,800

Ancient Awakening logins + Expeditions + free Heroic Chest milestones 11,200

Elemental Tempest through the 20-quest milestone 3,250

Before buying Outland Chests 339,650

Under the 55% Outland Chest discount used in this scenario, a pack of 100 chests costs 3,375 Emeralds. The calculation uses only these 100-chest packs.

Outland packs 32 × 100 chests

Total Outland Chests 3,200

Emerald cost 108,000

Completed Secrets of Outland cycles 21

Secrets of Outland Event Coins 140,175

Wise Exchange milestones reached 22,650

Estimated final Event Coins 502,475

This is a scenario estimate, not a universal price. The 108,000 Emerald figure depends on the assumptions above. It excludes VIP points, Tactical Losses and Brawls, while already including all Titan's Roar rewards generated by the assumed Firstborn progress and Elemental Tempest through 20 quests. More progress elsewhere can reduce the Outland requirement; less Firstborn progress can increase the shortfall that must be covered.

Plan Across All Three Subevents

Ancient Awakening rewards coordinated progress rather than isolated spending. Firstborn Force and Unstable Equilibrium feed additional rewards into Titan's Roar and Elemental Tempest, while the repeatable chest tabs can substantially change individual totals. Set the milestones your account can realistically support, then spend Event Coins with intention.
