UPDATE 2024/06/16: Updated the tips and video guide for the Heir Debate gameplay.

"Innocent Dream", heh, is another event in Fate of The Empress to make your heirs repay all the jades and ingots they have swallowed from you since forever. This event is just an "old wine new bottle" event as they recycled the "Summer Cruise"/"Snowy Visit" activities and made them into new themes. So if you have been used to "Summer Cruise"/"Snowy Visit", this event will be easy peazy lemon squeezy to you.

I will release a video with tips and tricks and strategy for the event, so please subscribe to my Youtube channel and any inquiries please let put in our Discord server.

Watch this Video Guide for better understanding and tips first:

I. Overview

Unlock Requirements: Character Lv. 36; Server with division; Have at least one Teenager Heir

Duration: 6/11 10:00-8/4 23:59

This event will include 3 main activities: "Summer Tour 夏令游记", "Childhood Tales 童言韵语", and "Rhetoric Strategy 清谈辞韵战".

There will be also "Summer Coins" for rewards exchange in "Summer Shop" and "Dream Points" for ranking rewards in "Innocent Peak Rankings"

(Don't worry, our event won't have this many activities)

II. "Summer Tour 夏令游记" Activity

This activity is just a simple story quest plot. There will be 7 chapters in total and each chapter will be opened each week, making the event 7 weeks long.

After completing the 1st chapter, you will unlock the activity "Childhood Tales 童言韵语" and get Summer Coins and Dream Points for every chapter completion.

III. "Childhood Tales 童言韵语" Activity

Do you feel nostalgic? Yes this is no different than the activity "Azure Realm" in "Summer Cruise"/"Snowy Visit", but instead of using guards to fight each other, now you will release your heirs to fight like Pokemons.

This activity will be unlocked after you finish chapter 1 in "Summer Tour 夏令游记".

You can use your heirs to participate. However, even if you have no heir, you can use the ones that the system provides you, so no worries. It's just crazy how I imagine Fate of The Empress has a base of orphan teenagers for rent to fight... D-:

Tips on how to nail the Heir Debate with the least Valor and save the most Deer Jade

I cleared stage 100 while being 500k Valor weaker than the enemy and saved 340k Deer Jade. So hope it will work for you. In this video:

Explain Summer Tour and Childhood Tales' General Tips
Planning the Heir Debate skill set and arrangement with Spreadsheet
Estimate the minimum Valor to win so you won't waste resources in the shop just to upgrade
Apply the plan to Real Gameplay

But if you still can't understand after watching it. You can just follow this brief.

Putting skill 4 and skill 5 in the beginning will be better than putting them at the end.
Puiting skill 4 and skill 5 on either the weakest heirs or the strongest heirs. But weakest heirs are recommended. You can put on your own heirs if they have awakened stars, it will upgrade skill 4 and 5.
You will only focus on 1 heir if there are 2 heirs in the team, 2 heirs if you have 3 or 4 heirs in the team, and 3 heirs if you have 5 heirs in the team.
The order of the last 3 heirs is not important (If you follow my skills plan). It means you can switch heir 3 with heir 5, or heir 5 with heir 4. It doesn't matter because you can see that they have the same skill set. Only the position of heir 1 and heir 2 who carry skill 4 and skill 5 will impact.
The purpose of the columns "Number of Buff" and "Number of Debuff" is to show you the maximum gap you can have to defeat the enemy when your Valor is lower. For example, in the plan for 5-heir team, heir 3 will have 4 times of buff. Four times are from the first 2 skill 5, skill 2 from the previous heir, and skill 1 from his own. And his enemy has 2 times of debuff. Assume the buff and debuff is still 2% (It will increase when you upgrade the skills), that will make it (4+2)*2% = 12% gap. That means if the enemy Valor is 100. Then your heir valor must be at least (100-100*12%)=88 just to have same Valor as the enemy after the effect. And there's some number rounding. So you will need to add a little more to actually be higher. This is how you estimate it and not waste the resources on over-upgrading them.

This is my test that my team might be lower than the enemy team and I have only 1 heir that is stronger than all other enemy heirs. The other 2 in my team are weaker but due to the skills I set, the 2nd heir got buff and still won.

Note: If you do 10 free chances a day only, this tip will help you reach stage 200th and get the Godly relic slowly by the last day of the event. If you buy more chances every day or aim for higher rewards, you might still be stuck at some stage anyway.

The new Godly Relic - Croon Drum will be unlocked at stage 200th.

IV. "Rhetoric Strategy 清谈辞韵战" Activity

This is the only event that is different than any activity we've ever met before.

This is a division-based activity. You and your lover will have to fight your war separately and have a different ranking too.

You will have to attend a debate fight of 3 rounds and whoever wins 2 rounds or above will win the final result. You can use at least 1 heir of yours and 2 free heirs that the system will provide you and align them into the battle.

That is the basic mechanism, I will update more details when the event starts. But I think this will be interesting because even if your heir is weaker than the opponent's, the 2 free heirs the system provides are the wild cards. You may win if your alignment is a bit strategic.

So once again, please subscribe to my Youtube channel and wait for my video to explain the strategy for this (if I have one).

The winning points are accumulated, the higher the points, the higher the star rating, and the richer the rewards. You will earn Summer Coins and Dream Poins from this.
