Want the fire weapon. Ranked around 50. Would have been 500 but had to claim so many of my MVP's for one team battle.

I've noticed rus, saw u at top 50. Nice job. I'm savin this time around. Not to keen on fire and water gears.

@nickolinger79: Well if ur using the max cap for doras. Then by all means get the sushi, but it is hard to win raid bosses only running on sushi cuz you only get 6 bts at one time then you have to rush to get the next lvl up to get the last 3bts u need to insure ur mvp spot. Unless ur lucky enough to pull off 6 bts for mvp then more power to ya. I would have to say if ur willing to spend that much for max doras and ur still craving for more but cant use the dora limits, then i would mix the usage together so you can push ur dora usage farther.

For example: just use the sushi enough that u will get ur 6 bts on saving and lvling up then use 1 dora L after that to make 9 bts

Sushi gives one BT too. So only need to wait for 2

Hey u can wait and Claim your Points from a Raid Boss when you get in the Next battle Group Right?

Yep. A lot ppl dont know that. When ur win for a raid boss comes up just hit the top right 'x' button to save ur claim. Then when next tb starts just click on ur win and u'll claim ur pts for that tb. The only time u have to claim all ur pts is before the boss switches to fire. Like i was sayin at the top. I usually wait at the end of tbs to claim so if my team is already winning without my help i just accumulate the pts and bring it over to the next round. 1 time i managed to save up 100k worth of pts cuz my teams were doin so well without me i didnt have to claim any for the tb.

I dont believe in stomping ur opponents by overkilling them by 100k pts or something absurd. Just keep in mind that u only need to win by 1 pt to get the gear. So the less pts u can win by is the most efficient then save the rest of ur other pts for a bad team.

Right now i have 20k saved up in case my new team sucks. Would of been 70k but i had to jump in to save my past tbs. Makes sense?

Thanks ynot, u the Man ! Ya im in a TB with Sahrah right now and we are Destroying other Team! I got in Team right before i went to bed though and all my bts and stuff was used, i just got 1st or 2nd on a RB and only an hour left so im gonna wait until next TB, sorry for lack of dmg/pts Sarah . I guess im gonna have to check and see if the Boss changes next TB though cause if so then I dont get unclaimed points.

Boss changes after the last water gear tb is done

So I need to claim now then

This is not the last water gear tb lol. Its a 10 fused gear. Still got 4 more tbs to go. Jsut chk tje schedule if ur unsure

Ya think i finally understand the schedule the Kesumite thing was messin me up, plus the pacific time graphs n military time or whatever lol

Is it me or did they op the event boss's. Jupiter nearly crushes me..gotta really put my back into it.. at first they were easy but in past events I thought that at this stage they were still easy to beat.

It also seems like I'm getting fewer boss battles. Earlier today I bought sushi and I drained entire karma for only 2 boss battles (mars)..sucks..

I share the same frustration in terms of # of boss battles. At least 3 times now I've gotten frenzy with 18-30 points to leveling and only get 2-3 battles draining one full energy bar. It's frustrating since frenzy is "supposed to" increase your encounter rate. It could be that NR lowered the encounter rate since they didn't lock the stages this time around... Who knows, from what I read they often do things arbitrarily and without notice.

I would consider using ace/luck weapons to increase incidence rate, but in my case they're thunder base and don't have event bonus *shrug*

been putting in Work, lol ranked like 94-100. I dont even have half the Points that people in top 10 have, Nuts! Besthippo I see u up there, Nice Work !

Does anyone know whether your team crit buff applies to the non-elemental raids?

My intuition would say no, but recent playing experiences are suggesting otherwise. It could be luck and small sample size ...

They do. It last as long as the tb and if ur team is losing still.

Man, this event is pretty rough. Putting in my 3 karma's and spreading those bt's out so I don't waste them on bosses who no one is fighting and trying to boost my gears with dragon gems( not the event only gears, I learned my lesson from last time :-( )and I'm still floating between #5100-#6000 ranks. Life as a part-time non-spending ninja is tough. I can only imagine the work you spenders are putting in. Whew... I need a smoke

Just have to be efficient with your battle turns. My target is actually 2MVP per team battle. Right now its already the 13th team battle and I have 20MVP so not too far off.

The dora resets at 8pm for me, so the team battle change is at midnight. So what I do is set it up so that at 11pm (wait for edge to go up), I have 3BT from waiting and 3BT from level up. When I was doing 2mil+ damage, I needed another 3BT or 6BT from dora to get MVP. The next MVP is from dora. So will use about 15 dora from the 21 given. That's 2 MVP for that team battle.

Then wait for another 3 hours and level up, and use another 3 dora or 6 dora as required for another MVP. Then repeat the process when 8pm starts. By right if it works out exactly as planned, that is NEARLY 3MVP per team battle (if using 9BT for MVP instead of 12BT), but since nothing ever goes as planned, its probably closer to 2MVP or less.

And it seems to bear itself out based on number of MVP vs Team Battles. Of course, sometimes if the team battle is going well for you, its worth spending the extra dora and getting confirmed MVP instead of risking later.

Now that I can do 4mil+ damage on a losing team, I only need 6BT for MVP most of the time. Going to get easier after this, hopefully. 3MVP per team battle if everything works out properly.

Play it right. Time your level ups and natural regeneration. Wait it out if necessary. Wasting some energy is worth it as the points from those bosses aren't that much and most of the points are from raids.

Cheers

UGHHHHH, so close to max 10 fused gear.....I was doin so well without spending at all then they just HAD to pair me up with a spender(he was rank 20 on leaderboards) on the last tb... How unlucky, i join tbs 5 mins after they start to avoid things like these. Guess it didnt work out this time...ON THE LAST ONE NO DOUBT. NR u taunt me.

Well it's not bad already! w/o spending.... Kudos

Besthippo ! lol , I cant wait til i get to that point were I dont have to spend ! Ive spent like $40.00 so far and am rank 92 Ive been , doing great with TB, i did miss the first two though .

So, ya know how i said u need to claim all ur pts before the boss shifts? Well, I actually overslept today and missed the boss switch and didn't claim my pts. I thought i was gonna lose my pts but it is still in my challenge menu oddly enough. Either NR lied or it was a fluke. I dont know. I have not claimed it yet cuz I dont want to waste it on this current tb but i'm assuming it will still give me the pts anyways. I will probably be testing this again next crackdown just to be sure. If anybody want to confirm this that would be great.

Is there a limit to how many Completed Boss challenges u can carry to the next TB? I already racked up like 28,000pts so im gonna keep like 4 or 5 i have if i can, I would really like to win all the next tbs for the sword instead of gloves

I'm not sure there is a limit, if there is its pretty high. I myself have kept over 100k pts saved up before and I remember besthippo saying someone had saved up and claimed out 500k worth of pts. So if there is a cap then its pretty big. I wouldnt worry much about it. But yea, it is smart of ya to save than get those gloves. Lot of ppl just keep claiming their pts for crappy gear.

Also are some of those pts you have r saves from the water boss? cuz if they are, then I might be right on my last post and NR lied to us that pts disappear once boss shifts.

True that Thanks ynot ! Naw their all Fire but thats intresting how u still have challenge from water, glad u got ur Points !

Hey guys what's your attack on a lvl 45 raid boss after using 3bts at once. Is it different for everybody? Does gear make a difference?
