Well something definitely doesn't seem right then.

Only thing I can think of is maybe the difference in commander skills. I normally just use the atk and def buff.

Idk about others, but I've found that the defense buff makes even my light tanks tankier than my heavies with skill up used to be.

i dunno, something feels terribly off with the difficulty of this event.
I beat all battles in 1st tile just with the artillery skill, then beat all battles from second tile without losing any tank.
And then at the first battle at tile 3......
im sure i couldnt play it better, held them at my leutenant until all enemy tanks were destroyed and only then advanced into the missile turrets and pumpkins... left with 2 alive tanks only and a leutenant at 5% health...
The battle is listed as lvl 21... my leutenant is lvl 30 and tanks lvls 20-27... On the map i can easily beat lvl 35-36 maps, so cant imagine lvl 21 map being so hard

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.
