Neheb, the Worthy has red and black colors, but high white and blue bonuses.

This is one of the most difficult PvE events, if not the hardest. In particular, the Survivor objective on Node 4: Harsh Mentor is not recommended as gainful outside of providing a challenge.

History

When the event was first run in August of 2017, it was discovered the maximum achievable ribbons of 135 was insufficient to achieve most of the progression rewards, with a maximum of 750 ribbons required. This was fixed before the event was run again.

When the event was first run as an individual event in May 2019, the maximum progression total reverted to 750 ribbons, requiring at least 50 game wins to reach. After several months, this was once again fixed.

Currently, the maximum ribbons are 63, with maximum rewards requiring 55.
