Event currency: Anniversary Coins[]
During the event, you could obtain Anniversary Coins through different means. These Anniversary Coins served two purposes: you could use them to buy items from the Anniversary Shop, and the total amount of Coins earned determined your rank on the Leaderboard, and the associated rewards at the end of the event.
Ways to earn Anniversary Coins:
- Login, once per day: Anniversary Coins x50
- Guild Battles, maximum of 4 times per day (only 10v10 and 100v100 battles counted):
- Win: Anniversary Coins x100
- Loss: Anniversary Coins x50
- Win:
- Anniversary Monster rewards: Anniversary Coins x200 max (50 Coins for every 25% of HP removed)
- Attacking (or healing) Monsters: Anniversary Coins x2, x4 or x10
- Performing Quests: Anniversary Coins x2, x4 or x10
- Invade or Duel: Anniversary Coins x2, x4 or x10 (to be verified)
- Rolling Treasure Chests:
- 1 roll: Anniversary Coins x20
- 3 rolls: Anniversary Coins x60
- 1 roll:
When hitting or healing Monsters, Anniversary Coins drops seemed to work similarly to Meteorite drops. The bigger the amount of Stamina or Energy used on a hit, the bigger the chance to get a drop was, with 100 Stamina or 200 Energy guaranteeing a drop.
Drops from questing probably worked the same way, as well as drops from Invade or Duel (but being 1 stamina actions, the drop rate was probably extremely low).
Getting x2, x4 or x10 Coins seemed to be random and not related to the amount of stamina or energy used, with x10 Coins dropping less often.
During the first two days of the event, Anniversary Coins dropped by 1, 2 or 5 instead of 2, 4 or 10 when hitting Monsters, questing or dueling/invading. It was probably changed because the community was complaining about the very high price of the items in the Shop compared the amount of Coins realistically obtainable over the course of the event.
Anniversary Monster: Moonlight Dragon[]
- This section is about the monster. For the hero, see Moonlight Dragon.
The Moonlight Dragon was a special Monster introduced for the duration of the Anniversary Festival. You could fight it once per day. It was a completely private Monster, meaning that each player had its own daily Anniversary Monster to hit and couldn't share it with anyone else.
Rewards for fighting it:
1.The Monster's HP reaches 75%:
- 
Refine Crystal x5, 10th Anniversary Coin x50
2.The Monster's HP reaches 50%:
- 
Enhance Crystal x5, 10th Anniversary Coin x50
3.The Monster's HP reaches 25%:
- Refine Crystal x10, 10th Anniversary Coin x50
4.The Monster is defeated:
- Enhance Crystal x10, 10th Anniversary Coin x50
For a total of 200 Anniversary Coins, 15 Refine Crystals and 15 Enhance Crystals every day for defeating it.
However, other than those rewards, hitting the Moonlight Dragon didn't drop anything (such as Essence), not even Anniversary Coins (while regular Monsters did).
Despite the in-game information stating that the monster's HP depended on the player's level, it was actually depending on the player's max Stamina. Or at least mostly on it, the player level or maybe his max Energy might have had an effect as well.

The 10th Anniversary Festival introduced the Moonlight Dragon general (and Masilda, through the Shop and Mystery Gift).
The rewards were sent out 24 hours after the event concluded.
A few ranks at the end:
- Rank 1 - 124,349 Anniversary Coins
- Rank 10 - 46,106 Anniversary Coins
- Rank 25 - 27,320 Anniversary Coins
- Rank 50 - 21,783 Anniversary Coins
- Rank 115 - 16,063 Anniversary Coins
- Rank 296 - 12,713 Anniversary Coins
- Rank 561 - 10,622 Anniversary Coins
- Rank 1043 - 9,263 Anniversary Coins
On another note, this shows us that not much more than 300 players were able to afford more than one 6,000 Coins item from the Shop by the end of the event, which is why many found the prices to be excessively high.
Only the rank 1 player was able to afford 11 copies of Masilda and one of all non-consumable items from the Shop.
Anniversary Chest[]
- Main article: Anniversary Chest (Limited)
The Anniversary Chest is a special Treasure Chest which was put together partly through a community poll and introduced with the event. It was available only for its duration (one week).
It gathered mostly heroes from other chests, Legendary Generals, other special heroes, 3 Favor Generals (2 discontinued), and Consumables and Artifacts in the Common tier.
As it was introduced as part of the anniversary celebration, it had increased odds for the Epic, Rare and Uncommon tiers.
