Thread: armor blitz halloween event: too OP?

so is it just me or is the amount of grinding you have to do to get the event unit completely unreasonable? I mean you can only get like 6 bat wings a day unless you make the game your full time job. I'd be fine if you could re-do a level without having to spend cores, but the pathetic trickle of points you get for playing normal levels is virtually worthless. And the armor on the pumpkin turrets is simply inexcusable.
It seems impossible to get anything good without slapping down some cash... I wouldn't have such a problem if it weren't for the fact these seem like once in a lifetime drops...

Anybody got any tips on how to get the event without spending a herculean effort? or am I gonna have to stage a revolt?

Only way to progress is to grind it out. The devs assume that 3 months into release is enough for people to grind tanks to a decent level with some decent emblems to make do with this event. Invasions gives a lot of pumpkins according to lieutenant level, me being 46 gives about 456 pumpkins per invasion tile. Poc also gives pumpkins scaling with stage difficulty. Levels for event reset per day.

FYI near end of third tile for my tanks who are around lvl 25-35 is where I start to struggle where as in PoC i can clear up to stage 31 (level 62) so that in itself speaks for difficulty curve.

You're doing something wrong then. I've never been to stage 30+ of portal but I made it up to the lv 60 enemies in event.

It looks like a team full of TDs and mediums, and I've spent 0$ on it.

Idk about other people, but I don't really use lights, artys or heavies.

What level is your commander? Not your tanks, your commander.

I can make it up to lvl 60 enemies but the amount of metal to repair isn't possible for me to keep doing that. My HT takes around 3 to 4k metal for just ONE of them to be repaired. Its not that I'm doing something wrong don't be so soon to assume that ffs. I can clear all the way to 4th tile most of the time without losing more than 1 or 2 tanks but there are times where i lose about 5 tanks which is costly for repairs.

Also unless you clear the 4th tile entirely there isn't much point in doing it as with 3rd tile you can get the event girl. You DO need the 4th tile if your going for top reward of elite

Dammit, AB...you don't start a maintenance period during the last hour of an event day where people are timing their repair intervals. And you really need an in-game chyron to announce it, not just an off-screen Twitter feed that nobody can see when they're playing.

I only hope they notice the shortcomings with this event and make the following events a bit less grindy and more interesting.

There are ways to profit without raising such paywalls.
