I think a lot of it has to do with the random monsters that are picked for that event. Seems like this event has easier than usual monsters towards the end.
Yeah, I think you're correct. The effects on my weapons are between 40 and 50%, but I think the thing that threw me off was the lack of the visual effect. Seems like they're working at least today. Thanks!
I don't think that it is possible to have gotten enough tokens to buy one yet to know if those start at level 1 or not. I've completed every event level thus far except for the 3rd mission in the 3 star difficulty from the last set of missions and only have like 1500ish tokens. I suspect/hope that he will come in at level…
