The Bazaar Season 5 is right around the corner, and kicking things off are a handful of brand new PvE Encounters. These familiar faces have existed within the game's item pool, but are now making their debut as enemies.
We've only seen the first teaser of what's to come, during which the Encounters were displayed in an unusual location. It's been stated by the devs that this was just for reveal purposes, so we can expect to see them at their usual hour once the patch goes live.
Let's dive in and take a look!
New Encounters Revealed
Cloudtop Admiral
Cloudtop Admiral was teased during the Stelle reveal video, so we don't know enough details to give an analysis just yet.
Cloudtop Officer

Test Subject Alpha brings another Self-Poison Encounter to The Bazaar. While there are some strong items within, outside of Mak it may be challenging to utilize its pieces.
Toxic Fuel adds a great new skill for the archetype, essentially functioning as unconditional board-wide Cooldown reduction for Self-Poison builds.
Tortuga brings a fantastic crew of Friends to the table, potentially enabling some wild off-Hero synergies if you can assemble things within an appropriate time.
The Friendzone skill is obviously great for many Tortuga builds, along with any other Friend-based setups. You can't go wrong with minimally restrictive Cooldown reduction.
Event Encounter - Stelle Only
Family Reunion
The Family Reunion event was teased during the Stelle reveal video, so we don't know enough details to give an analysis just yet.
