High Society

High Society is the name of a thematic event in Shadow Fight 3.

Scout informs the player that he has signed them up for the King's Tournament, the most prestigious tournament in the entire Legion. He has put his bid in the player's favor. The catch is that only the nobles can participate in the tournament.

Suddenly, Gizmo arrives at the furnace and spots the player. Scout mocks them that this tournament is supposed to be only for those with noble blood. But his sister, Greta, disagrees and mentions that the fight was a treat to watch and recognizes the player from the Shadow Squad. Gizmo whines to not reopen old wounds which she shrugs off. She mentions that she would talk to the coordinator about the pair as she is tired of seeing the same participants and to teach a lesson to Gizmo.

Part 2: Special Visitors[]

The coordinator is revealed to be the Ambassador. Greta requests him to pit the player against some real opponents as the commoners were mere fodder for him. Ambassador mentions that he was going to disqualify the player but he cannot refuse Greta's request. He informs the player that they will now face the foreign guests, though he is sure the player would be easily defeated.

The Ambassador, disappointed by the player's victory, orders them to obtain their reward from the paymaster and leave. Hearing this, Scout states that he is glad about the reward's mention. They all have gathered like old friends who do not keep secrets amongst each other and everyone would like to know about the Ambassador's daily business and enemies made. Offended, the Ambassador challenges the duo for a man-to-man talk outside the public vision.

Part 3: Backstab[]

Scout accepts the challenge and confronts the Ambassador. Unfortunately, he has other plans rather than fighting himself and orders his men to deal with the duo.

Name: Backstab

After the players defeats Ambassador's men, Greta arrives and enquires about the commotion as she is already tired of her brother's antics. She asks if the Ambassador had violated the codex which the scout sarcastically confirms by saying she already knew the answer to his question. She is enraged and decides to inform the authorities about this.

Part 4: Against All Odds[]

The Ambassador is furious that the matter escalated to this level. Thus he orders the real professionals to engage Scout and the player. Scout is flattered that the Ambassador is now taking this seriously to the extent that even the liquidators have been summoned. Enraged, the Ambassador mocks them as nobody and they would not get any money or apologies from him. Scout scoffs that it was never about it and he promises the player to explain everything if they survived this encounter.

Name: Against All Odds

This attack cannot be blocked or dodged, but the player can survive the hit by using set bonuses that activate after the player runs out of health, i.e. Star Chaser and Abdicator.

Queen Iolanda arrives at the arena and reprimands the pair about discipline as she was informed that people were fighting outside the tournament. Scout defends by saying that someone insulted his kin and was trying to get rid of him. He introduces himself as Alexander Home, the son of a former earl who was stripped of his title and wonders if she remembered the earl. Queen Iolanda clarifies that she remembers the hundred noble names by heart, especially the Home family very well as the name is engraved on the throne. The reason being one of Scout's Ancestor was buried in the Fortress wall. She then names the player as the Royal Chosen One of the year as Greta had informed her of their prowess, hence allowing them to fight in the Tournament and wishes them luck.

The Tournament[]

Part 5: First Round[]

Now in the Tournament, Scout apologizes to the player for not revealing his complete plans in the fear of the player refusing to go along them. Scout reveals that the nobles and their titles do not matter to him but his aim is to restore his family's good name. His main target is the elder - The Greatest Gryphon. He was the one who got Scout's father killed via the Ambassador. Gryphon only fights the winner of the Kings' Tournament. No legionary till date has ever defeated him but Scout has a feeling that the player may stand a chance. The first Noble is the Earl Theodor. He has been tutored by the Night Warriors themselves and is a tough one. He is known famously as the Twilight Guest.

Name: First Round
Type: Introduction - Survival
Rounds: 3
Timer: 99 seconds
Description: Win the first round of the Kings' Tournament
Rewards: 15

Enemy Info[]

Name: Earl Theodor
Fighting Style: Legion
Weapon: Storm Hammer (Two-handed Hammer, Smashed Grapes dye)
Armor: Dogma (Smashed Grapes dye)
Helm: Shiny Darkness (Smashed Grapes dye)
Ranged Weapon: Black Maw (Beartrap, Smashed Grapes dye)
Rule: Twilight Guest (Your opponent is well-protected against physical damage, but vulnerable to shadow damage).

Now a step closer to Gryphon, Scout reminisces about his Father's battle with the Gryphon. Gryphon had provoked his father and almost lost to him when he stopped the tournament and accused Scout's father of cheating, which was false as he was way stronger and respected than Gryphon which was the main reason he resented Scout's father, afraid his title and power would pass to him one day. The Red Lion had promised to assist Scout against Gryphon outside the tournament. But Scout is wary as Red Lion is known for his insanity and is rumored to be Gryphon's illegitimate son. He says he shares his misfortune with Scout but actually, is only there for power. Thus Scout requests the player to eliminate Red Lion from the Tournament.

Name: Red Lion
Fighting Style: Legion
Weapon: Sun Splinter (Spear)
Armor: Lion's Pride
Helm: Lion's Gaze
Ranged Weapon: Gilded Hatchets (Throwing Axes)
Set Bonus: Elders' Lion (level 2)

With that accusation as basis, Gryphon stripped the title of Earl from Scout's father which he did not care about. Gryphon wanted to rip him apart, but he could not directly as an Elder. Thus, he paid a petty official to do his dirty deed whom, as a reward, he later made an Ambassador. It was a cake walk for the ambassador due to his spoken skills and having far-reaching contacts.

Abdicators mostly spend their entire lives in the Tower of Solitude and occasionally come out of it. Marie though only leaves her cell to participate in the Tournament as it is the only way she can meet her beloved once a year.

Name: Marie the Abdicatress
Fighting Style: Legion
Weapon: Circlets Of The Elders (Axes)
Armor: Divine Retribution
Helm: None
Ranged Weapon: Mercy (Pistol)
Set Bonus: Abdicator (level 2)

Part 6: Second Round[]

Scout carries on explaining that his father was a victim of their plot. Gryphon always wore his parade armor for the Tournament, shining like a diamond but parade armor is weaker with a different fighting style. Gryphon asked the judges for a rematch with equal armor. Scout was the squire for his father. Unfortunately, in his brief absence, Ambassador's men poisoned his father's shirt. Thus, Scout always despised people who meddle with death. Lord Vincent is one of them, but anyone who understands death would never join Vincent's cult. The shirt still haunts Scout's dreams. Due to the unique poison, his father fell ill leading to the fight being called off and succumbed to it six months later due to weakening of his heart. Scout's sole wish is to restore his father's title of Earl.

Gizmo gloats that the Ambassador through a loophole had managed to let both Weisswald siblings fight the player one after the other. Gizmo had long waited for this moment for his revenge. Scout mocks him by reminding him that the player already had already taught Gizmo a lesson once which he would gladly repeat. Greta apologizes for the interruption as she is not interested in this, but it was too late to negotiate with the judges. She wishes for the strongest to succeed.

Part 7: Gryphon Hunt[]

On their victory, Greta congratulates the pair, which the Scout ignores telling her to inform the Ambassador the same. Scout reminds the player that the final victory is very close. He feels lucky that he is not the one fighting as he is way too excited. Scout laments that he has neither been a great friend nor a good person. But the honor of all Homes now rests on the player's shoulders. They were all good and honest people, but he was the only wandering black sheep. His father would smile down upon them from the heavens, being a jolly person who loved to laugh like a child. Scout then tells the player to prepare for the final battle before he starts crying which he would be so ashamed of.

Quotes[]

For honour! For fame! - Start of fight
You're not one of us. - If the player uses a special move or successfully hits Gryphon
Gryphon won't retreat! - After his Living Legend ability gets deactivated
That was cheap! - After player uses ranged weapon
Oh, I see. Revenge. - Start of fight after losing once
I'll return this to you. - After losing once and his Living Legend ability gets deactivated
You'll regret it! - Start of fight after losing twice
Know your place. - If he wins
The Homes send their regards! - From Scout, if the player wins

Scout, on behalf of the entire Homes clan, gives thanks to the player after the battle for defeating the Greatest Gryphon. Then, Queen Iolanda congratulates Scout for the victory as his champion had defeated Gryphon. And now by the Law of the Strongest, Scout earned his rightful place on the Council of Elders that belonged to Gryphon. Scout requests her to call him only as Home as his full name reminded Scout of the haughty nobles. He also thanks her while praising her as the greatest Queen of the Legion and says that he loves her for being a 'top-notch gal', of a decent type. Flustered, she rebukes him for the disrespect. Scout immediately apologizes and requests her to hand his place in the Council to a deserving person as he loathes politics and just wanted to teach Gryphon a lesson. He bids farewell to everyone and one last time thanks the player.

Trivia[]

Some of the real names of each character are shown during this event, such as the Home family and the Weisswald clan.
This event has received various system changes.
- From the 02.08.2023 (Hand of Magmarion set release) to 13.03.2024 launch, the event registration system has been changed. The furnace fight now gives 50 tickets instead of trophy coins and no longer give tokens. The registration for Tournament also has been changed from 1 ticket to 300 tickets (Similar to Wheel of History), and the event now features a battle pass.
- On the 17.07.2024 update, the event system had been changed to the Threat Tokens system. Interestingly, most of the enemy's appearance were changed and some of their weapons also changed in this launch.
The Gryphon is used to have an ability to deal guaranteed critical hit for his next physical attack after his Shield of Retribution explodes. After the Threat Tokens system update, this ability was removed from him for unknown reason.
