To maximize your account progression in the reworked Hero Clash Time Secret Treasure event, hoard your event keys across multiple rotations instead of spending them incrementally. Only commit keys when your total reserve guarantees reaching major milestone thresholds, and always set your selectable grand prize to Divine Artifact components or premium God and Void hero chests rather than standard faction units.

Key Economy: Hoarding vs. Rolling

The updated event structure concentrates value into milestone thresholds and selectable board prizes rather than individual tile drops. Spending keys in small batches each time the event appears leaves your account with common filler materials and prevents you from reaching high-tier clears.

Free-to-play accounts and moderate spenders receive a finite number of free and diamond-purchasable keys per cycle. Stockpiling these keys over several event appearances allows you to clear complete board tiers in a single run.

Grand Prize Selection Priorities

When configuring your board’s target grand prize, prioritize items with restricted acquisition sources:

  1. Divine Artifact Components: Select Divine Artifact materials first. These artifacts provide roster-wide combat power and passive skills that impact both PvP and high-level PvE content. Because Divine Artifacts are otherwise locked behind paywalls or long grinds, securing them through this event yields the highest long-term return.
  2. God and Void Hero Chests: If your account already maintains a solid Divine Artifact foundation, choose God and Void hero selection chests. Heroes in these factions (such as Veritas and high-utility supports) provide rare mechanics required for late-game multi-team stages.
  3. Avoid Standard Faction Heroes: Never set Human, Beast, Night, or Spirit heroes as your grand prize. Standard S+ units appear frequently across tavern summons, faction scrolls, and regular exchange shops, making them an inefficient use of scarce event currency.

Step-by-Step Board Clear Procedure

Follow this operational sequence during active event cycles to avoid wasted keys:

  1. Audit Your Key Inventory: Calculate your total available keys, factoring in daily free claims, event quests, and planned diamond purchases. If the combined total cannot secure your planned milestone guarantee, save your keys and skip the cycle entirely.
  2. Lock In Your Target Grand Prize: Select your designated Divine Artifact or God/Void hero reward before spending any currency to ensure your board pity points track toward the correct prize.
  3. Pull in Controlled Batches: Draw methodically and monitor revealed tiles closely to avoid spending surplus keys once the grand prize drops.
  4. Advance Layers Immediately: As soon as you acquire the board's grand prize, advance directly to the subsequent layer. Do not spend additional keys clearing out remaining filler tiles on a completed board.

Event Token Exchange Priorities

Exchange tokens earned during board clears should be channeled strictly into scarce enhancement materials:

  • Top Priority: Exclusive weapon refinement materials and artifact enhancement stones. These items face strict daily acquisition limits in standard game modes and directly raise hero power ceilings.
  • Secondary Priority: Rare hero awakening supplies needed to overcome level bottlenecks.
  • Avoid: Basic summoning scrolls, which offer lower progression value relative to their token cost.
