1. All drops are random Except for maxing the heart meters. You are supposed to have a slightly better chance of a drop with "Ace". I have not killed much this event and have 3 Cleopatra drops.

2. No, but it is certainly helpful.

3. Anyone can start an alliance. The tricky part is getting people to join you. That's why we have the Alliance Recruitment Board

3a. At this point, it's just aesthetics. Card upgrading has become moot now that you can feed 10 arcana at a time. Imbalanced is still better as you will earn more experience building and collecting resources.

4. Get stronger cards. A Crit card with some unleashers would probably work well. If you have Griffin from the Beginner's Dungeon, then make her GSR and max het to lvl70 with full soldiers. That should help a lot. Grifin has a high proc rate and good damage. Genie and most critters has too low of proc rates.

If you don't mind "cheating" keep fighting her, but close out the game if you don't get a proc on round 1. By closing the app mid-fight, you won't lose any soldiers, only the VIT used to encounter her.
