Labors event is the EW version of the world boss or more like mini world bosses.

It is one of the daily events for devotion, and is more of a personal challenge than a combined world event.

The difference in EW is that you set the opponent type and as you complete each world boos, you unlock the next difficulty.

Here I am doing the spearman event, my reasoning is that I use a majority of priests, archers and swords.... spearman are more effective with bunched up troops

My archers can use fiery rain and my priests will be using sand storm and fire starter ( you will see the effectiveness of that in another screenshot )

This system allows players to choose the opponents as either a challenge or a walk over, based around your generals that you will be using. Because general summoning is random, then the general opponents also need to reflect the different tactical choices by players.

Using auto deploy, the system will use my top 15 generals, so yes there is a level 1 in the grouping, I can manually remove them and replace them with a general of my choosing.

As players can see, I have the majority of ranged / AoE generals and mostly swords for close combat, I use swords as they have a effective close range cleave skill that can hit 3 bunched opponents.

Ok, Rival troops 38, my troops 15... talk about a one sided battle, I just hope the opponents are ready for a real ass kicking. I am going to use speed x2 and auto fight because I can not be stuffed doing it manually.....

Anybody like their spearman BBQed or just well burnt. This is what I mentioned earlier with using archers and priests, with fire AoE attacks. It is a very effective and lethal form of area cover that will cook any troops that stay in the fire

The effectiveness is shown by the opponents 16 general loss to my one loss

With a loss of 5 generals and the total annihilation of 38 of my opponents generals, I have completed that level of labors, so I now have unlocked the next level of labors. It is possible to not defeat all of the generals and suffer a embarrassing loss and still get rewards. I would rather not show screenshots of my losses, I have a ego to protect.
