That way, if you ever need to install The Sims 4 again, you simply need to log back in to gain access to your rewards! Are these rewards really free? A: Yes, these rewards are free when you claim them through the Event Screen. Once claimed, the rewards for this Event will be available in the Base Game. What about SDX releases, I thought those were to provide free content and updates! A: Sims Delivery Express drops aren’t going away, but we're always looking for new and novel ways to deliver gameplay, as well as objects and clothing to add to your Sims' lives. You can still expect SDX releases throughout the year as well as new Events to engage with The Sims 4 throughout the seasons. What if I log in and don’t see the Event? A: The Event starts on 9/24 at 7 a.m. PST and ends on 10/12. Please make sure you are online and logged into your EA Account. If you still do not see it, you may need to restart The Sims 4 or disable any UI mods you have installed. Will this be available to Everyone? A: Yes! The Reaper’s Reward Event will be available to everyone starting 9/24, and you won’t need any Packs to participate. What are Event Points? A: Event Points are a limited-time measurement for the Reaper’s Rewards Event that allows you to claim free rewards. As you earn Event Points, you progress along an experience track and can claim rewards along the way. How do I earn Event Points? A: Each Quest Objective in a quest gives Event Points. Mousing over the Quest will have a tooltip telling you how many points you will earn. Completing the entire Quest nets additional Event Points. Once you have enough, you can claim rewards. Do I have to spend Event Points? A: Your Event Points are a cumulative total. When you claim a reward, you still stay at the same Event Point total, so your Event Points aren’t actually “spent.” What happens if I have leftover Event Points? A: Grim is offering a finite number of rewards. If you claim them all and still have Event Points, don’t worry! Your Event Points cannot be used for anything other than the Reaper’s Rewards Event and will expire when the Event is over. Can I still complete the Event if I start late? A: Yes, the event will run for 8 weeks. If you start late, you will have access to all the previous week’s Quests.
Kit Reveal - Shin Hati
UNIT NAME: Shin Hati ALIGNMENT: Dark Side CATEGORIES: Attacker, Mercenary, Unaligned Force User ------ Key Attributes: A lightsaber combatant who ignores Taunt to attack her enemies. Introduces the new Soldier of Fortune effect for the Mercenary faction. This is a stacking blue status effect that does nothing on its own, but on reaching a threshold, abilities will have various effects added. Inspiration: We loved everything about Shin Hati when she showed up in Ahsoka. A practiced lightsaber user who has a bevy of tricks, using the Force and otherwise. What’s not to love? We’ve been eyeballing a Mercenary tag for a while now. With Baylan and company coming on the scene we took it as an opportunity to add the tag, and the Soldier of Fortune mechanic as a whole. We loved the moment where she escapes her battle with Sabine Wren with a well timed smoke bomb, so that ended up as her ability Clean Escape. Strategy Tips: Maintain her Critical Chance and avoid Shin Hati getting critically hit so as to gain more stacks of Soldier of Fortune. Attack Stunned enemies with a higher number of stacks of Soldier of Fortune on Shin Hati. Her granted ability Clean Escape helps all Mercenary allies gain additional effects and inflicts debuffs on enemies based on her Soldier of Fortune stacks. FAQ: How do I acquire Shin Hati? Shin Hati’s Marquee event begins September 19th in-game. How does the new Mercenary faction tag affect previous characters? See our forum post introducing Mercenaries for a step by step guide on how the mechanics work with both new and older characters. Will Shin Hati be required to get Baylan Skoll? Yes, at Relic 7 Will Shin Hati be required to unlock GL Ahsoka? No. In Shin Hati’s Omicron it says “Target Light Side enemy's cooldowns are increased to their max value,” what does that mean? Light Side enemies will have their cooldown set to the maximum limit as prescribed in their kit (eg, BB-8’s Illuminated Destiny would be set to 70). From the Shin Hati Designer: CG_Vib’X: Shin Hati, and her master Baylan Skoll, are self-sufficient mercenaries we first see in the Ahsoka show. Their seamless coordination and prowess in every mission is reflected in Shin Hati's design kit. Alongside them is Marrok, whose support amplifies Shin Hati's effectiveness. Shin Hati’s character is defined by her grace in combat and her lightsaber skills combined with the use of the Force. These attributes are central to her design as an Agility attacker in our game. Her kit reflects the careful consideration of her quick wittedness, capturing her ability to escape from perilous situations with ease. We hope that you find your adventures with her to be as exhilarating as the journey we see her take on-screen SHIN HATI QUESTION SUBMISSION LINK ABILITIES: BASIC: Fierce Foray Final Text: Deal Physical damage to target enemy and inflict Critical Chance Down for 1 turn. If Shin Hati has 10 or more stacks of Soldier of Fortune, she inflicts Critical Chance Down on all enemies for 1 turn instead. During Shin Hati's turn, call target other Mercenary ally to assist.

If Shin Hati has 10 or more stacks of Soldier of Fortune, she gains 25% Turn Meter and increase the cooldowns of all enemies by 1. SPECIAL 2: We'll Take It From Here(Cooldown 3. Unlocks Tier 4) Final Text: Deal Physical damage to target enemy and Stun them for 1 turn. Shin Hati gains Critical Damage Up and Riposte for 2 turns. If Shin Hati has 15 or more stacks of Soldier of Fortune, attack again, always scoring a critical hit if able and decreases the cooldown of Clean Escape by 1. If target enemy is inflicted with Purge, Shin Hati inflicts Buff Immunity on them for 2 turns and deals 10% bonus damage for each stack of Purge they have (stacking, max 60%). UNIQUE 1: You Have No Power(Zeta, Omicron. Unlocks Tier 6) Final Text: At the start of each encounter, Shin Hati gains 25% Accuracy and 50% Offense until the end of the encounter, and she ignores Taunt effects during her turn. Whenever Shin Hati is critically hit, she gains Retribution for 2 turns and 150 Speed for 1 turn. The first time Shin Hati gains 10 or more stacks of Soldier of Fortune, she gains the granted ability Clean Escape for the rest of the battle; if Soldier of Fortune stacks are below 10, Clean Escape ability can't be used. While in Territory Wars and all allies are Mercenary or non-Galactic Legend Unaligned Force User: At the start of encounter, Shin Hati gains 75% Accuracy and 30 Speed, all allies gain 50% Max Health and Max Protection until the first time Shin Hati is defeated, and all Light side enemies are immune to cooldown reduction for 2 turns or until the first time Shin Hati is defeated. While enemies are inflicted with Purge they have -50% Critical Damage and -30 Speed. Whenever enemies attack 3 times out of turn, Shin Hati gains 1 stack of Soldier of Fortune. Whenever Shin Hati gains Riposte and has 15 or more stacks of Soldier of Fortune the cooldown of Clean Escape is decreased by 3. Whenever a Light Side enemy gains Damage Immunity, they are inflicted with Fear for 1 turn, which can't be resisted and Shin Hati gains a bonus turn. Additionally, Clean Escape has these effects based on number of Shin Hati's stacks of Soldier of Fortune: 20+ stacks: All Mercenary allies are revived 35+ stacks: Shin Hati increases cooldowns of Light Side target enemy to their max value UNIQUE 2: Soldier of Fortune - Shin Hati Final Text: At the start of battle, Shin Hati gains 1 stack of Soldier of Fortune per Relic Amplifier level she has until the end of battle. Whenever Shin Hati scores a critical hit or attacks out of turn, she gains 1 stack of Soldier of Fortune. Whenever Shin Hati is critically hit, she loses 1 stack of Soldier of Fortune. At the start of each Mercenary ally's turn, they gain 5% Critical Chance and Critical Damage (stacking) for each stack of Soldier of Fortune they have until the start of their next turn. Granted Ability 1: Clean Escape (Cooldown 8) Final Text: Clean Escape : Effects are based on the number of Shin Hati's stacks of Soldier of Fortune: 10+ stacks: She dispels all her debuffs and gains 30% Max Health until the end of the encounter. All non-Tank allies Stealth for 2 turns. 20+ stacks: She dispels buffs on the target enemy.
