Thread: "New" upcoming game: Armor Blitz

And got the Arty chan.
Dropped 1K cores on this event to get the bundles. Now I kinda regret it, since after some calculations the last bundle was not necessary, but with my work schedule I didnt want to risk it. Either go big or go home.
40K left for M3 copies
80K left for Panzerwerfer.
12 days of event left Minus the work days. I shoudl be able to have some spare wings for the exchange shop at the end.
Seems like it will be a while before I get to my 5th factory slot still.

For those who dont know, you get both girls at L15... which is nice honestly. Since they can be used immediately for low tiear maps.
Panzerwerfer suffers from short range (21 base) for an artillery, so giving her emblems that have range increase bonus is well worth it (got mine at 24). After shuffling around my emblems I did manage to get Super Pershing to over 7K health, solid evasion and armor, Tabby is sitting on 9K health but mediocre evasion and armor,. Catriona and Victoria have both been built for pure damage to utulize their long range abilities.
Even so, the 3rd Node of the Spirit path, is just.... frustrating.

This event is many things, but the word FUN is nowhere to be found. And having fun while playing a game (especially a browser game, which tend to be very simplistic) is kinda to the whole point of playing a game in the first place.

That's the thing...you have to calculate how many bundles you're going to need, but you don't have to buy all of them right away...you can always purchase the last one on the last day.

My problem is that (even considering pumpkins, which I have largely stopped collecting because it was boosting my Lieutenant's XP too much) I won't need the last bundle for the bat wings, but I will need it for the ghosts because of that last motherfucking node on the third tile, and only being able to do your best at the beginning of the event before your Lieutenant levels up and the scaling fucks you over.

I'm doing what I consider the bare minimum (5X Angora for dailies, plus PoC) so I don't lose the ability to complete any MORE of the event nodes. Hell of a way to run an event, AB.

I know it must be suicide, but i'm clearing all invasions just cause i have too much oil. Went from 41 to 43 lieutenant lvl during event.

Also, once again 3 4* in factory, that makes it 7 4* in 3 days rngwtf.

I am already commander level 47 so I am doing all invasions for pumpkins... not many more commander levels to go anyways and my tanks need all the exp they can get. PS, I posted a reply from the AB team in the Halloween event thread, if you did not see it is is worth checking out (they may be tweaking tiles 3 and 4). And future events should be easier.

I just said 'fuck the oil, there's a terrible event I have to grind through and I'm not going to screw myself over for it.'

Of course, the problem then becomes 'how often will we be in event mode and will we need to give up on completing some of them so that we can just get a roster of maxed tanks to do later events?'

Also also, I just redeemed two of my three concurrent factory 4*s as well, and it's been like nine total for me recently.

I guess I'm the opposite of you guys then. I just said fuck it and do all invasions every day since they give plenty of pumpkins too. Sooner or later I'll hit the commander cap anyway. Might as well do it asap so I can keep leveling my tanks with no worries.

I get it, but they've said the difficulty is going to be different for future events, so for this one only it's a case of 'do what you have to do to finish the event.' We'll see next time if they get it balanced correctly, because they've admitted they got it wrong this time.

Actually, now that I think about it, the Lieutenant XP requirements have to be lower than any tank worth taking in your platoon, which is why the LT outpaces the good tanks so completely. They are probably counting on your tanks having multiples and the resulting XP bonuses. Well, unless you're unlucky, you don't have that for many of your 5 stars, which gain XP painfully slow to begin with. But even then it's not equivalent. Case in point: my Sarah (first day 5 star, been in every battle I've done) is at level 32. My second ever 5 star, Meiling, had a dupe shortly after I got her and she's at...level 32. So it's enough to catch up, and yes, she'll eventually surpass Sarah, but it's just not as big or as prevalent as they probably seem to think it is. Meanwhile my Lieutenant is at level 43, eleven levels higher than a tank that's been in every battle since the beginning, and five levels higher than the highest level tank I have (who has an 18% XP boost).

The only tanks I have at the max 30% XP bonus are 1-3 star tanks I'd never even send out to scout, let alone fight in my platoon. (And I only do that out of stubbornness.) So I don't know if the LT gains XP at the same rate as a 1-3 star tank, but it's probably on the wikia somewhere. Ironically, it seems the only way to gain better relative XP for your tanks than for your Lieutenant is to do exactly what they said they didn't want us to do...farm Angora over and over again to boost Renee's XP gain, feed her to your platoon's tanks, then repeat until either you get sick of the process or you have your good tanks where you want them.

I'm at less than 20k points for both girls because I don't care about both of the event girls. X_X I do want to try for the 60k sacrifice reward but its hard to care lol.

I just got my 1st copy of the M3, already had my 1st copy of Arty-chan, they are both VERY Strong tanks and well worth the effort to get, fed them each one of my old 4*s that I was using and they are now lvl 24-25... at this level they are useful to me at the highest level missions. Arty-chans special can nuke most bosses or strong points on the missions while Satan is a great rusher along with the Cromwell I have been using for that role... not to mention Atry-chan is only a 4 cost while Satan is a 2 cost!
