Explain the showcase to me like I am dumb

[Attila]

I really don't think I get it. This is how I understand it:

We can now add Legendary artifacts to the Showcase, but they have to be excess ones that aren't in the main or war halls, and we only get one of their modifiers?

Is that it? I tried to wrap my head around it but it just doesn't make sense. This is supposed to be an exciting feature? So now we can pay 100 - 300 tokens to get a single additional modifer?

Am I missing something here?

The main goal here is to make unused legendary artifacts useful again.

Some old artifacts have some good perks but are not good enough to have a place in your museum exhibition. So if you bought or got some from events, you can still partially use them with the showcase.

Another way I see it useful could be artifacts with offensive and defensive perks, so you can combine perks when you attack and when you log out from the game (especially in MP battles).

For me, this makes the museum much more interesting and a long term strategic building.

Agreed. I wonder if the people who's museum supposedly imploded after 12.20 are embracing this understanding.

Thanks for the explanation!

Apparently you can't save preset loadouts for Showcase benefit lines. Am I right?

I'd like to have different active lines for attack and defence. What good is + 20% defender damage for me when attacking, eh? So, if they can't be saved, I have to manually toggle on/off multiple lines every time I switch between attacking and defending.

Well my muse actually did implode lol I lost more than ten war legendary but thanks to CS and Engineers they got them all back thanks again lol
Since I am dumb I will explain it from my understanding lol
Go to showcase hit auto fill
Go thru the showcase and check the line ya want. It like having an extra muse and numbers add up quick.

Now for those O player saying it worthless to have +20% Defender dps is not worthless. The +20 dps will help slow the kill on your base so lets say is takes 1:30 to clear your offense base without defensive lines from showcase active now it takes 2:20 to clear your offensive base with defensive lines active from showcase. This is very important in time wars and also may force other team to use a striker to hit your base instead of a defender, this cost them 1 attack they could have used to clear your alliance defenders. Time wars can be won by this.

The preferred lines in the showcase are automatically active if that legendary is not active, so you don't need to toggle anything.
If you don't want the defender dps when attacking, pick another line of choice. If there isn't an attacking line, them's the breaks. Not all legendaries will have the perfect lines you want for D or O.

True, but not exactly the museum-will-be-useless type of implosion others were predicting a week ago.
For all the negative commentary in the past, the mods seem to have stepped up a gear - let's hope this is a page turned.

Again my view will always be the crafting change is a waste of time and money. Unless they change way crafting is done. But they did it so it’s live with it time. Rest of it I did like so guess it balances out for me at least.

Question-are the showcase individually selected benefits added to the regular and war hall active benefits?

That would be logical but there are 2 separate rosters for benefits (normal and showcase)

Thanks. Would the default still be the main hall or world war artifacts? Or the showcase ones. Not very clear.

Not sure what you mean by 'default'. The main hall or war hall roster, the one you've always tapped (if thats what you mean), is unchanged - only shows all active benefits (depends on your current loadout).
The new showcase roster shows the other 'bonus' benefits from your inactive legendaries. (That you've assigned to the showcase)
