Thread: armor blitz halloween event: too OP?

Getting the tanks is easy. It's only the final reward that's hard. I guess the devs wanted that to be a challenge for the hardcore players.

Though getting the final reward is also kind of easy if you're willing to pay a few cores for the ghost and bat bags. The event gives you 600 cores for free so it's possible to do it for free but some monetary agenda is still likely on the table here.

I guess it will depend on how many events they're going to have in how quick a succession which will 'encourage' us to spend cores. This time of year is always big on events, and I hope the devs understand that just because those of us who have been saving our cores can afford to spend them on this event, we won't be in that position for a Christmas event, nor a Thanksgiving event, and certainly not a New Year's event.

I did some basic math, please do correct me if I am wrong.

Lets say you are able to get 24 Bat wings / Souls > meaning clearing the first 3 nodes

thats 480 items in 20 days.
Each is 300 points
so thats 144 000 points for the cauldron.

Now lets say you get 2000 pumpkins per day, times 20
thats 40 000 points that you can either divide, or throw into a single cauldron.

Let say you wish to max one girl out so you use all pumpkins on her.
144 000 + 40 000 = 184 000

You need to buy 2 bundles for 250 cores each giving you another 100 Wings/Souls > 30 000
This will put you up to 214 000.
This is not enough, unless you can hard grind extra 8 000 points in pumpkins in addition to those 2K we assumed at the beginning.

If you buy 3 bundles for 250 cores each giving you another 150 Wings/Souls > 45 000
Setting you at 189 000 points in both cauldrons and you have the 40K from the pumpkins, thus you max one girl with ease.

Should you be wanting to max both of them, then you would need to buy at least one, ideally 2 more bundles depending on how much grind can you do. All this was considered without any Oil refills.

I myself bought 2 bundles, aiming to get M3 Satan maxed. Though I might go for one more, if necessary, depending how the grind goes, since I cant play when at work.
At least I put those core to good use (relatively).

*I wont comment on the event itself here, thats what the other thread is for. I will however say the Spirit path, Node 3 map setup is absolutely ridiculous and unless I have my main tanks ready to go, I am not able to do it with any other setup. Again not gonna go in detail in this thread.

Yeah, Haunted Path does seem a lot harder than Devil's Path. (Oh sure, the quick and easy path leads to Hell....)

Coincidentally, it's the opposite for me when I reach the 4th node. Devil 4th node is near impossible for me whereas I can clear some of the spirit 4th node.

2000 pumpkins a day seems a little on the low side. I can pull in 3000+ pumpkins a day without buying oil (and I haven't claimed the event oil prizes yet either and started the event with only 1k oil) and my oil production is the same as anyone else who's completed the map.

Oh, are you still using your factory or something? I suggest halting factory production for the event if you're remotely serious about it (though again, just a few bucks worth of cores will solve that problem too if you don't want to sacrifice factory production. But considering that I've produced ONE five star tank after doing so many factory productions that I've COMPLETED the factory production quest line (1500 tanks produced) quite a few weeks ago, I don't think anything of value will be lost)

Well for example I have not completed the map.
2K is the approx value that people who have at least half of the map done SHOULD be able to get, if they want to have a go at the event.
If you can get more, then just put that number into the equation and see how fast you can claim your prize.

Wait... I think you posted that achievement on the Discord no ? The Factory completion one. Gratz on that.
The problem is that the General outscales the tanks, and as such you get much higher lvl tanks on the enemy side.
If all my 5* tanks were around L25+ and 4* around 35+ The event would be so much easier.

My completion of the map only means one more oil well, though. Are you also using light tanks to scout? Honestly I'm not sure someone who's only completed half the map should expect to be allowed to have two ELITE status five-star tanks from an event anyways (well, without paying money of course). That's asking for an awfully huge highest reward for someone who hasn't even gotten half way to the end of the game. These aren't four-star tank equivalents from Flower Knight Girl's events we're talking about, here. The average value of a five star ELITE tank is like, 300 bucks, for crying out loud. (although elite five star arties and light tanks kinda get the short end of the elite stick)

The devs really need to stop the lieutenant scaling. I hope someone's brought this to their attention. I've mentioned it in Discord a few times myself but I don't know if any developer saw it. It really gets unfair for those who've had to change in new tanks several times in their life time, which is pretty much everyone except those who are inclined to whale at the start and even they've probably had to relevel several tanks from level one semi-recently).

When you have a multi-tiled event, there's really no need for lieutenant scaling in the first place anyways. Have the beginning tiles be low levelled and have the end tiles be high levelled. What was the purpose of having their level affected by your lieutenant anyways? Yeesh.

Lieutenant level averaging only makes people not want to expand/improve their rosters...which, I suppose, obviates the need to complete events in the first place. I mean, it's all fine if you've been playing for a year and you have enough max level tanks to sub in for events, but I wasn't about to sideline my new 5* tanks in favor of maxing the tanks they were supposed to replace.

How we get the event tanks? they are only at that 225k cauldron?
