It's not the hardest thing to deal with but, the whole point of the stage is to get event currency which only 1 of the 5 chests. The chance of getting the right chest is very low ( consider how high its HP is, you probably can kill only one of them each run ), it kinda defeat purpose to run legendary difficulty.
They want us to spend to get Seraphina, while not necessary, it is definitely easier with her around. I loathe this kind of gimmick, Fantasica & Age of Ishtaria have this, it's like their flagship signature.
The chests positions difficult champion formations, you can try to run Lancers and Dragoons to hit 2 chests at the same time but Berserker and WarLords attacks will only hit one enemy. This screams Shadow to beat those chests, and let me tell you something? Seraphina is a shadow that can get up to 400% on all her status... what a conveninence! :cry:Too bad I already did 40 summons and still not sight of her
I'm having little trouble with chest other than their high HP, my Warlord just pulled the furthest chest to the middle and my team can waste 4 of them with AOE hits before their timer runs out. I have not utilized Seraphina at all even though I got her 4* on my first pull. But probably because my team is highly transcended, that's why the game wants you to get Seraphina to make your life easier, especially for those who's starting out.

Yeah, their HP is the problem for me too, I'm still using the same clear-all team, I need to adjust for better results, one thing that I want to know is if the little guy only steal the chests with 0 CD. If so we can manipulate that CD to clear it without a problem.

They say he only comes to steal the 'right' chest with the prized loot and the rest will use Infernal Gate, which kinda defeats the purpose of playing the legendary stage for more drops.. but to get achievements instead. We are better off farming easier modes unless we can clear all the chest.

But we need to figure out if those guys only steal the chest when their CD SKill is at 0.

From my side I can confirm. One greeny came and stole my last chest when its timer ran out...

Same thoughts on chest, hero usage and super low drops... But another thing I noticed again is the event period still remains as a week? Given feedbacks from other players and past experiences, maybe the dev can set more appropriate duration for the event

Speaking of the right chest, one of my guildmate manage to kill all. If the goblin would steal, it might be the chess with the skull in it. The skull is no different than the bullion.

For those without Seraphina. If you have Mind Warders, Warlords or Elementalist they can be pretty handy in clearing the chest. This is no place for a Tank so build up your skill counters with your Champions by tanking the last mob in the first wave. You can effectively delay all the chest with an extra 4 turns with Mind Warders before they start to go off, pull the furthest chest in front of your Warlord in the middle to allow AOE hits, or do some serious AOE burning with Elementalist. Better if you have all of them, even better with Seraphina.

Well someone in a facebook group said he uses this trick to guarantee unrefined gems in legendary everytime (since most people manage to kill 1-2 boxes, but not all)

If you just skip turn during chest wave until the chests explode, the goblin will always come to steal one chest, the one with event treasure.
Now that chest will be in the same location if you force quit and resume to start from the beginning.
He memorizes the location of that chest, and force quit the game, then re-enter and let his Warlord pull that chest to front and focus kill for all the event loots.

I'm not sure about this, someone try it? lol i'm at work and have no warlord
It's kinda pointless to do legendary if the goblin steals the treasure :(
But it's also kinda lame if we have to guarantee our treasure by using this force quit thing.
Those CC units come in handy though :3
