Lunar New Year is the sixth of Seasonal Events, introduced in January 2023 (version 54), running during the real-time Lunar New Year – just 18 days, Thursday 19 Jan to Sunday 5 Feb. Like the other seasonal events, there are three difficulties, but due to shortened run-time with only 10 stages each; the completion rewards emblems, player avatars, Trainer Heroes, and Ascension materials.
The special daily Lunar New Year Offers were first announced as free only on the first two Sundays, 22 and 29 Jan; however this was changed during the event and the final 5 Feb was added also as free.
Event Conditions[]
The special tiles that explode and damage the team are Firework Rockets this time: If matched within 3 turns, they advance Grand Fireworks counter. After matching 5 Rockets, it can be activated, damaging all enemies for 20% their max health.

During the event, epic hero tokens can be used in the Seasonal Summon for a chance at a Lunar Year hero based on the Chinese Zodiac animals (i. e. tiger and rabbit in 2023).
However, since there are four Legendary heroes and no lesser rarity, the chance to summon any event heroes is only 0.8%, with the rest divided between Classic heroes, so rather worse than in the other events.
Event Stages[]
The Lunar New Year event features a total of 30 stages (10 per mode/difficulty) with the bosses mostly coming from the War of the Three Kingdoms family.
Zartanis has put together a list of what you can expect from each stage:
