and you were in freedom city? 🙂
Yes
Did you collect all three different tactics while playing TotT?
If so...
"In Freedom City, the Raven plays all three unique copies of Tools of the Trade, collecting all three tactics at least once each. Then, the Raven plays Strikes From Above, and is incapacitated with Strikes From Above in play."
Would want to see this tried with the other tactics as well, just to be sure.
I don't remember if I collected Go to Roost, but I did collect Stealth tactic [whatever it's called] twice
Into The Shadows
How do I find a log?
What device are you playing on?
Computer
C:\Users\(YourNameHere)\AppData\LocalLow\Handelabra Games Inc_\Sentinels of Earth-Prime
Looking for log.txt
my contribution
for context, the continue point is "right after the first villain turn"
The only thing that happened during that turn was "take a bunch of damage iirc"
Actually, wait. Hmm
Looks like you moved Into the Shadows twice and Strike From Above twice, and never touched Go to Roost
With TotT, at least
Unless it happened during the villain turn, but I don't remember doing that. It would have certainly been in the trash already
Hmm...
There might be more data missing from this than I thought
"In Freedom City, the Raven plays all three unique copies of Tools of the Trade. Then, the Raven plays Strikes From Above, and is incapacitated with Strikes From Above in play."
Wonder if issues were had because of people replaying the same copy of Tools so much, and just missing the third unique copy each time.
Need more people without the unlock to test stuff.
I second this notion.
We still don't know for sure if Freedom City is needed, if Tools of the Trade has to collect tactics at all (you skipped GtR, but SFA and/or ItS could still be necessary), if specifically SFA in play at the end is necessary or if ItS is allowed (I think someone mentioned above that GtR didn't work for them in the same scenario SFA did)...
Ooh, those are all very valid points, probably
But! We've narrowed it down quite a bit
Tried "play 3 unique copies of Tools of the Trade, incapacitate Raven while Strike from Above is in play" in both Temple of Zhu Long and Freedom City. Only Freedom City gave the unlock, so let's try
"In Freedom City, play 3 unique copies of Tools of the Trade, then Raven must be incapacitated while Strike from Above is in play."
does get one need to get at least 1 Tactic?
Here's the unlock log for people to scour if they want!
If nothing else I feel pretty confident that Freedom City really is necessary. I don't think I did anything different in Temple of Zhu Long.
The only other thing I can think of that was in any way interesting or notable about my Tools of the Trade plays was that I had all three in hand before playing any of them. (that was the only way I could trust myself to remember to play 3 unique ones)
We're so close. I really wish I had another platform to test on.
Lol yeah my bad. Well deserved comment deletion 😅 shutting up now
Out of the 3 times Topher played Tools of the Trade he only searched 2 tactics
All tactics appear to have been played once each (In order of appearance)
-Swing Line plays Into the shadow
-GameController plays Go to Roost
-The Raven's Ready for Anything puts Strike from above into play
Have we had an unlock condition where certain cards had to be played in sequence before? . . . I'mma have another look at logs if this order of play matches up. ( .H.) 📜 📜
Only Strike from Above and Tools of the Trade need to be played.
Well, maybe they don't need to be played, but I was able to get an unlock by only playing those cards.
Was this unlock attempted on Mobile?
I'm afraid I don't have SoEP on mobile yet so I can't try to replicate
I was asking Coder.
Did you play Strike from above once from your HAND, once from your hand by Swing Line, and once by The Raven's innate power Ready for Anything?
How’s it coming team?
We seem to be close but low on testers who haven't unlocked it yet.
Oh no
What are we currently testing
From hand. I never used a power and didn't ever play another card. Mobile so no logs.
Okay . . .
The next best course of action is someone to play a game where:
"In a game in Freedom City, you play 3 tactic cards, where the last one is Strike From Above, and have The Raven be incapacitated with Strike from above in play."
This can at least remove the extra information of playing 3 unique copies tools of the trade.
So ideally they should only play up to two tott?
I'll try it out
Uniquely with Topher's Log he played only 3 Tactics the entire game.
And Coder is stating the only Tactic they played was Strike from above
Oh, fascinating
No unlock
Though I played them from my trash if that matters
That's fine. . . . 🤔
didn't play any tott
Okay run another game With the similar parameters as before (With some additional)
In Freedom City, Play all copies of Tools of the Trade don't worry about what you search with them, AFTER THAT just play Strike from Above 3 times,after the third strike fromm above play, incap The Raven."
Got all of that?
how many copies is that lol
There are 3 copies of Tools of the Trade in the deck, play all three.
There are 2 copies of Strike from above in the deck , play all of them and play it again a third time.
( oHo) 👌 ?
Understand?
I wonder if how TotT gets played is important. I think two of my three plays were off-turn from Lightning Leadership.
Right
Notably in Jebboh's game, they played it 4 times. 3 times from his hand on their turn, and once from off turn play Freedom 6 Tachyon Incap ability
For my game in order they occur in the log
On my turn
Out of turn (Inventive Preparation)
Out of turn (Inventive Preparation)
On my turn
On my turn (During play phase via The Raven's Descend destroying Into the shadow which my innate power put into play)
In one of my failed attempts Each Tools of the Trade was played out of turn by Inventive Preparation and Legacy's Overwatch
Did any of the unlocks not have any out of turn Tools plays? I suspect this is a blind alley but now I'm curious.
( oHo) Time to dig
Infernyx 2nd Unlock
4 out 5 Tools of the Trade plays where out of turn by Legacy's Overwatch
5th one was on turn.
Jebboh's log
3 out of 4 Tools of the trade plays where On turn.
A 4th one was Out of turn.
ok no unlock
though I also played one tactic other than strike from above accidentally
Hm how odd.
does it need to be a self incap because gloom finished her
No we confirmed that it doesn't need to self incap
A partial log (Forget who's it is)
4 Out of turn plays
1 On turn play
Given that the variant's bio makes a semi big deal of how Duncan isn't comfortable in the Freedom League and is thinking of quitting, it would be super weird for the unlock to require an out of turn card play, which would usually come from a teammate. Unless...oh hell, Cape & Cowl Club in Freedom City gives card plays during the environment turn.
there was quite a lot of out of turn plays
The Partial log I just looked through 2 of those out of turn card plays where Cape & Cowl Club
Since we think Freedom City is required, that would make out-of-turn plays at least theoretically possible no matter which teammates you bring.
What if it's something like
"In Freedom City, play Tools of the Trade out of turn at least once, then have Raven be incapacitated while Strike from Above is in play,"
or alternatively,
"In Freedom City, Play 3 unique copies of Tools of the Trade, at least one of which must be out-of-turn, then incapacitate Raven while Strike from Above is in play."
(Or maybe it's a wacky coincidence, /sigh)
definitely did that
Would it be a fair assumption not many Villain decks make Hero's play cards, right?
Follow up question:
Would it be a fair assumption that Hero and Environment decks more often make Hero's play cards?
the second sounds fair to me
if that's necessary, it might be why hades was being focused on earlier?
From what I can find compairing Jebboh's, Topher's, and the Partial Log, 2 cards where played by card that where not from The Raven's deck, which I'm mostly assuming that the game counts only Hero and Environment Cards.
So, if someone could Provide me a result of
"In a game, have The Raven play cards out of turn 2 times (By Hero or Environment cards), then be incapacitated."
We might be a step closer.
We do have a set up for such a game. Gloom Weaver and Temple of Zhu Long. So we can be absolutely sure if Freedom City is needed.
I can already almost certainly tell that's not the case; I'm pretty sure I inadvertently did that multiple times before I unlocked.
I definitely did that
I had f5 legacy and thunder letting raven play extra cards
I see you and I used a similar strategy
Okay . . .
"In a game play all unique copies of "Tools of the Trade" in a game. 2 of those card plays be done outside of The Raven's turn. Then incapacitate The Raven."
Feel free to add onto In freedom city and with strike from above in play when The Raven is incaped
If the quoted suggestion doesn't work
yeah pretty sure i did that

I am ready to contribute a game. Please give me a precise list of things to do / not do.
wait, your name's purple. this is gonna have to be like Twitch Plays Pokémon — your requested precise list will have to be followed exactly.
Yup
Freedom City, play all three unique copies of Tools of the Trade, then play Into the Shadows and have Raven incapped with Into the Shadows in play.
No other card plays. 👍
Ok. So I’m going to bring gloomweaver and have haka eat all his targets.
Is this allowed?
They're not contributing potential unlock methods
Asking for myself
Just asking us what we want and throwing a log our way to make of it what we will.
And I figured I'd take this chance to ask about a theory I had that nobody else seemed to want to take up. 😢
that doesn't work either
Still knowing the actual solution could influence any number of choices in the game... i'd argue we shouldn't. But such things are not up to me to decide thankfully.
If any other steps are desired lmk, I will ping before starting
well I did play other cards I guess
I would do multiple player and mark myself afk to be safe. Personally
But I’m not offering on this one
I would not be able to play a game without unconsciously applying or avoiding the requirements.
and I'm part of a plural system and can dissociate at the drop of a hat, so...

insufficiency
savage mana is out, some of gloomy's targets are under it. raven has done nothing but draw to this point, and discarded a boomerang because of an environment effect.
TotT has been played. What should it fetch?
oh and she got punched, but the park location is out and healing everyone a bit.
If possible, only Into the Shadows and any equipment. Basically trying to stay away from Strike From Above with this request.
ItS and a flashbang have been fetched. Nothing is getting discarded. and nothing is getting played.
Right on~
second play of TooT through Cape and Cowl Club. Fetching ItS if possible and some other equipment.
ItS is not fetchable.
Take my pick
Any two equipment, just no tactics.
Boomerang and Gadget Belt (Y)
(Y) indeed.
This is intersting to see unfold
brought in Snoke Pellets and Swing Line
Raven's turn. As of now, all three TooTs have been played. The first one brought in ItS and equipment, the second and third ones have all been equipment. She plays ItS.
👍 Time for the incap, sounds like, and hoping for the best.
environment turn!
Captain Thunder punches Raven
Lady Liberty punches Raven
Haka hits Raven with a stick
and Writhe stabs her with a stick, that glows
Villain turn!
The Cursed Acolyte is stymied by Captain Thunder's Shocking Rebuke and Implacable Resolve
Captain Thunder punches The Raven, incapacitating her. Into The Shadows was in play. No unlock.
Now at LL's turn.
I am going to have dinner. I can rewind if more explorations are desired. BRB.
( oHo) 7 Thank you for sour service
Okay, between that and SkyWhale's game, I think we have a solid idea - could you rewind to the last Tools of the Trade and try grabbing Go to Roost and an equipment, and repeat the incap?
Yeah, this is very appreciated.
I feel like there are too many turns to get to the last TotT. pre-incap should be easy though.
It's two hero turns that you can rewind
Environment and villain turns don't count for the rewind limit
oh, did a bunch of that damage happen during the environment turn? ah.
Yeah
It sounded like it was Raven, environment, villain, Captain Thunder (or Thunder got to hit Raven on the villain turn)
Writhe is between Raven and environment
Oh, you're right, there's a screenshot.
BLAH
I have two theories at this point, thanks to SkyWhale and hey yo's games.
"In Freedom City, the Raven plays all three unique copies of Tools of the Trade, grabbing all three tactics at least once each. Then, the Raven is incapacitated with either Into the Shadows or Strike From Above in play."
OR
"In Freedom City, the Raven plays all three unique copies of Tools of the Trade, grabbing Into the Shadows and Strike From Above at least once each. Then, the Raven is incapacitated with either Into the Shadows or Strike From Above in play."
From what someone said earlier in this thread, having Go to Roost in play didn't work in the same situation that having Strike From Above in play did, which is why I'm not including that one in the "in play at time of incap" bit.
Which is why I think it would possibly follow that it's not necessary to find it with the TotT play
I know it's not the "grab one of each tactic" one because I didn't in my unlock
With all three unique copies of Tools of the Trade played and having ItS or SFA in play?
I used 3 unique Tools and had SFA in play.
Hrm...and you were in Freedom City, I take it? BLEH.
I played pretty much the exact same game in Temple of Zhu Long (no unlock) and then Freedom City (unlock)
Can confirm. He only searched 2 of the three Tactics
Into the Shadows & Strike from above.
Rest where equipment
Basically stalled and focused on card draw until I had all three Tools in my hand, then played all of them (twice via Lightning Leadership), made sure SFA was up, then had Wraith punch her.
OH, I thought you didn't have an unlock
I misread before.
Then yeah, locking this one in as my guess.
In Freedom City, the Raven plays all three unique copies of Tools of the Trade, grabbing Into the Shadows and Strike From Above at least once each. Then, the Raven is incapacitated with either Into the Shadows or Strike From Above in play.
For now, at least. 😄
Do we have an unlock on record where someone had ItS in play instead of SfA? I missed that!
SkyWhale did it over in Realm of Discord
big W
I'm confident enough in that one that I'm assuming the only reason we've not had it confirmed is that they're busy with Handelabra Live. And then my confidence will be shattered when Live is over. 😄
Yeh, not surprised between yours, SkyWhales, and Tophers info. Thanks for doing the game, though! It helped.
professional replicator
Oh right
(yes, i have presented at academic conferences about how many research publications do not contain sufficient information to replicate them)
Drat I’m headed to the grocery 🙄 I’ll see who gets picked later
(not even getting to the ones with sufficient detail to replicate and then getting different results)
(sigh)
The question now is did we manage to get the requirement before the next variant is available or not.
And huh, I'm surprised that it sounds like a common issue with research publications.

Have you played this game?
The community has discovered the official unlock condition for Silver Age Raven:
In Freedom City, play all 3 copies of Tools of the Trade, searching for Into the Shadows and Strike From Above at some point with them. Then, the Raven is incapacitated while Into the Shadows or Strike From Above is in play.
Woo!
I'm calling that a win on getting it before the next variant was released, since the guess was out first. 🙂
wow
yup, you did it :D
Yeah, this one felt like more of a community collective effort than I remember seeing in a very long time
That's part of why I dislike when people say I'm the one who did the thing. I'm not doing it myself. I'm bouncing ideas off of people and seeing what worked and didn't work for others when I'm putting suggestions out.
Take credit for our community? Nevermore
you have all the tools you need
First, I acknowledge and respect your preference for the group effort to not be overlooked by placing you on a pedestal.
Second, my feeling is that the interesting part of the hunt doesn’t start until at least one unlock example exists, and since you do have a certain… tendency… to inaugurate the (IMO) fun part of the hunt, I personally weigh your contribution a bit more heavily.
Also, love a good running joke 😉
I'm not gonna be humble enough to say I don't play a large part in a lot of the recent hunts, that'd be silly. My complaints merely extend to the comments saying I'm the one who did the thing.
I'd give a +1 to enjoying a good running joke, but the people in the Realm of Discord server would crucify me for giving a +1. 😛
his cutout looks super cool, but his intro dialogue is so cheesy XD
Agree! It's nice to personally celebrate the triumph of figuring it out, but that should never be conflated with it being a personal triumph as opposed to a community triumph.
Great, we got it. This was indeed more tricky than the ones before. And just in time before the next one. Great job all!
what's up with the extraneous wording on this variant?
it's pretty close to the legacy variant but is very wordy
Grandpa Legacy can use his power on himself. Daddy Raven Silver Age Raven can't.
This is unlock-able during an obliveaon game
