Just got the priest guy on my first kill using free attack. 61/114. Super lucky.

[Jnesbitt82]

You know this means the box event is not to far behind.

[GetItOn]

You know this means the box event is not to far behind.

Yeeeesssssssssssssss!

[Jnesbitt82]

Just received Court Gunner 12/18 from first boss.

[spectra]

BWWWWWAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!

Right on schedule...................lol

[MaverickMunkey]

I see they kept it at 40 hits.

[spectra]

If this boss is like the prior one, I will be done by boss #8 :(

[Jnesbitt82]

If this boss is like the prior one, I will be done by boss #8 :(
I was done by boss 8 the last time. Lol
My current battle results:
1. Court Gunner 12/18
2. Battle Griffin 19/11
3. Garrison Sniper 44/26

[MaverickMunkey]

Don't you just hate it when you blow a whole energy bar and stamina bar and Boss #1 still never appears!!!

[Funkey monkey]

Don't you just hate it when you blow a whole energy bar and stamina bar and Boss #1 still never appears!!!

During the last boss event, I had to log completely out and then back in for it to appear. They come to me with every Raid.

I'm on number 5 using free hits.

[spectra]

Got boss #1 2 free hits
1 hit took 50,023 and about 80% of his life points
2nd hit kill him to get me a common unit

at this rate, I will be done later tonight when I reach boss #8

well I hope I get a couple of uncommons at least, the commons never go to battle..lol

[Hobtuse]

oh just saw the event..

@Spectra: no worries, I will be done by #7 too. :)

[Mordekaiser]

What was the prize for defeating him 40x? Not that I'm going to.

[Ahenobarbus]

Fight 1: Regal Warrior (rare)
Fight 2: Battle Griffin (common)
Fight 3: Castle Adviser (uncommon)

Happy so far :)

Plus, though my evidence is only anecdotal, I suspect they've nerfed the boss a little, so we might be in for a more realistic chance this time.

[albeezy]

FINAL RESULTS

17 bosses defeated without gold:
4 rare (1- Stronghold Warrior 92/65, 1- Court Counselor 55/102, 2- King's Airship 75/82)
3 uncommons (2- Court's Herald 29/32, 1-Regal Advisor 19/42)
10 commons (1- Liege's Griffin 17/9, 3- Royal Gunner 10/16, 6- Palace Gaurd 13/13)

[MaverickMunkey]

4 Bosses defeated all one hit and all common prizes!!!

I think that they have changed the hit rates slightly - might get further than last time!

[Ahenobarbus]

I just had to buy the templar and bannerman units, didn't I?! Now my indestructibles are gonna resemble a palette swap convention :)

[Dewsy]

1 - Noble Griffin (common)
2 - Castle Guard (common)
3 - Stronghold Gunner (common)
4 - Castle Guard (common)
5 - Castle Guard (common)

The inevitable trend has begun...!

[Ahenobarbus]

Just acquired a Liege's Counselor. That's two rare units within first four battles.

[Hobtuse]

Good luck people. I m taking my time with this time. No rush since I top out at #7

1 - Stronghold Guard 19/20 (Common)

[Dewsy]

Just acquired a Liege's Counselor. That's two rare units within first four battles.

How is your luck with the MW box event?

[Hello Kitty]

How is your luck with the MW box event?I'm on 9 engines and boss 29 for MW.

[MaverickMunkey]

I'm on 9 engines and boss 29 for MW.

Fair play - I am also on 9 engines but topped out at boss 5 - takes more than 13 hits for me at the moment!

Hey HK: Does McDoc play KA? If so, I think I just attacked him!

[The_Legend_Shall_Live_On]

[Ahenobarbus]

Can any of our resident empiricists render a prediction as to how heavy a gem toll the ultimate prize will demand?

[MaverickMunkey]

LOL. I just checked the Game of the Name... spreadsheet (link in my signature) and looks like he does. Check his wall. Maybe it's him. Ha.

Whoops....... yep was the one and only! I really must pay more attention to more than just the defense stats!!!

If you want to update my details on the s/sheet, my MW name is the same as my forum name - MaverickMunkey - not on CC - based in and around London, UK.

[GetItOn]

Finally got the info screen. Did you see where now your chances of getting Rares goes up the more bosses you kill! Nice!

[Jnesbitt82]

My current battle results:

[Joe Brown1]

How long does the event last. Still trying for elixir - only need 2:)

[-->FISH<--]

Just finished #8- 1 uncommon
- 7 common

Didn't get any rare last event either. Made it all the way to 16 before I stopped.
Would take one with a smile.

[Hapl0]

I only need one Joe and only two boxes remaining :s

[Jnesbitt82]

I don't have the exact time because of the current boss counter but I think it's over 6 days left.

[Joe Brown1]

I only need one Joe and only two boxes remaining :s

How many are you on? I'm at 13 - got 4 yesterday and none today.

Thanks Jnesbitt! Gives me plenty of time unless a box event starts also.

[Hello Kitty]

It's somewhere around 6d:8h remaining. 1 uncommon, 6 common - all free hits so far.

Loot is different for different levels. Eg, I get a King's Airship 75/82 instead of the Castle Airship above.

Did you guys notice that when you kill the boss you receive gold too?

[albeezy]

630488613. Add me please! Thanks everyone

[Everson25]

Well, I had decided that I wouldn't play this event just to avoid levelling till I finish my next upgrade but I couldn't resist. At 4:30am I went to Orc Camp to do some pve and start my first monster. First I got 1 Royal Guard, second and third as well then forth I got a Regal Warrior (rare). Not bad for someone that had decided to pass this event. I even can go sleep for a bit...lol.

7 knights down. 2 rares, 2 uncommons. Woo hoo!

[Everson25]

Nice job Ev...for not participating!Thanks HK! Can I offer you a glass of wine to commemorate?

[GetItOn]

I finally feel what spec and cc went thru last event being higher lvl. I have 2x my Attk as last Boss event at lvl 70ish and made it to 23 (last few did req some extra pinaché). At lvl 86 Boss 9 is starting to take an hr plus. Booo

[Hello Kitty]

Absolutely Ev! Cheers. Clink.

Sorry to hear about that GIO. I dread the day I get there...:(

Congrats on the rares deuce!

[deuce]

Thanks HK. My luck has finally gotten better for this event. But as a free player, I will take whatever decent-ish units they will send my way.

[GetItOn]

Sorry to hear about that GIO. I dread the day I get there

It's not all bad. It's kinda fun being at max ally (well almost there) plus I found someone's farm with 95k and not 1 vault upgrade. In the Battle Report his *armor* equipment was battling me in the top 45 spots. LoL

HK, Battle Griffin is Beast, not Magic.

[Hello Kitty]

HK, Battle Griffin is Beast, not Magic.Thanks tcapi - I'll update it in my next post update. A couple of others are incorrect too.

[DIrishB]

I'm at three commons so far. I got to 10 last time and with the hopefully (slightly) nerfed boss health/vulnerability to player attacks, I'm gonna try for the 12-15 range... Hopefully I'll snag a rare or uncommon somewhere along the line.

[EthanQ]

I noticed the same, next one I will be more careful to see how much I'm getting.
Just got 6k from the boss, not sure if it's the same for every boss or the money increase at every new boss. Cheers :D

[DIrishB]

Yup, the gold prize seems to increase decently as you go higher in the boss event. That's a very welcome bonus.

(Sorry for the double post, but editing existing posts can be troublesome from my iPhone.)

[echus14]

Nice! A rare and uncommon out of 8, not too shabby.

Thanks :). Both came early on in the event, so it does make me scratch my head about why it says that the more bosses you kill, the better your chances of getting a rare unit (unless they're just referring to one more chance to roll the dice, so to speak).

[Zesder]

3 common and 1 rare airship. :)

[alazar]

I have finished all of the quests. What constitutes a boss to defeat in order to get the black knight to come? They did not supply much information for this event.

[Funkey monkey]

Alazar - Welcome to the forum. If you haven't triggered the Black Knight quest, leave your phone on for 10 minutes. Then totally exit out of KA. You might even want to turn your phone off. The next time you open KA, hopefully, you will get the Black Knight splash screen. If not, check the quests screen for the new quest to defeat the Black Knight 40x. I noticed for this event the splash screen doesn’t come up as often. Afterwards, I like to do Raids to trigger the Black Knight. You will get a warning -enemy approaching.

Bea - what luck a rare on the first attempt? I still have all commons. You used to post a lot more. I'm glad you are still around.

[Aha]

Do you earn xp for killing the boss?

[Bea]

Bea - what luck a rare on the first attempt? I still have all commons. You used to post a lot more. I'm glad you are still around.

Aw thanks hun! Yes, v happy with the rare unit, and just picked up an uncommon on boss 3...

Don't want anymore castle guards...

[Everson25]

Hey Funkey Monkey! Bea is trying to have a normal life...lol. No addiction anymore! In my case I got worse...lol... no words.

[Funkey monkey]

Aha - Yes, you do get XP for each boss. I'm not sure on the earlier ones. But on boss 7, I got 40 XP.

7 - commons

[Jhoemel]

1. Common 1 free hit
2. Common 2 free hits

[Kiss Of Death]

lol I don't know about normal, but I do dip a toe in the murky waters of RL occasionally!

Fighting boss 11... got to 9 without cash hits playing tight on time (no healing boost)

I have won:
1 x Regal Counselor (rare) 65/127 (unboosted so all these units are core stats until Funzio fix glitch for those of us apparently testing the boosted stats)
2 x Battlement Sniper (Uncommon) 47/27
2 x Castle Guard (Com) 17/18
5 x Noble Griffin (com) 22/13 (normal griffin modified is 20/32... so all award are rubbish for now)

[Jhoemel]

1. Common 1 free hit
2. Common 2 free hits
3. Common 3 free hits
4. Common 3 cash hit

[Kiss Of Death]

Level 94, 398 (399 if Jhoemal says yes) doing 69434 on a cash hit and 49000 on a free hit... taking 12 hits cash to kill boss 11.... items except rare are all weaker than cash units.... not worth pursuing further.

[Hapl0]

Wow Kiss, i admire your luck with crate, chest and loot.

[Skoty422]

I'm on boss 7. So far got 3 commons, 1 uncommon and 2 rares. Got the rare and uncommon on first three knights!

[The_Red]

looks liek the ramp rate and starting point at the same as last time.

[echus14]

Darn. Two more commons. Now at 10, reaching for 11. Can't I give the Gunners a better rifle and just roast the bird? :)

1 x King's Airship 75/82 Rare
1 x Regal Adviser 19/42 Uncommon
2 x Liege Griffin 17/9 Common
2 x Palace Guard 13/13 Common
4 x Royal Gunner 10/16 Common

[Hello Kitty]

Same results for me too ech. 1 rare, 1 uncommon, 8 commons. Boss 11 next.

[Bronson]

6 common and 1 uncommon so far - I won't list them as all these units are crap and won't make my army.

[Dewsy]

Finally a change in luck! After 6 commons, just got a Regal Counselor 65/127 :)

[Hapl0]

Congrats Dewsy! I don't have that luck.

[Hapl0]

To all who wonder how much experience points you gain in the boss event, right now 4 bosses: 3 common 1 rare (i am lvl25).
The first boss give 10 xp, second boss 15 xp, third 20 xp and the fourth 25 xp. It's possible that the following bosses is the same xp from previous plus 5 more. Dunno if according to the brackets this amount change. I hope it helps to all who want to try but are camping.

[Romaro]

2 rare, 1 uncommon, 8 common

[Chups]

At level 11.........2 rares the rest commons. If this is like before...I should only reach level 18.

I'll keep an eye out next boss I fight. I'm lvl 66, but can't be sure if the XP scales based on level or is same across the board. I was too busy enjoying the nice 5k+ gold each one drops. That's a definite improvement, at least until the gold hits start costing 1k each, which will probably be in another boss level or two.

I'm on boss 10, have gotten 1 rare and 9 commons. Gonna try for 13 or 14 but not sure.

[Hello Kitty]

Another rare. Woohoo! 2 rares, 1 uncommon, 8 commons...next up, boss 12.

[Deskjockey]

I'm up to boss 15. One rare, 4 uncommons, and the other 10 commons. I'll take a breather for dinner and to put the kids to bed, then tackle #16 later tonight. So far I haven't had to use more than 9 hits, so I'm doing better than with the last boss event, even though I haven't really boosted my attack score by a huge amount since then. Go figure.

[Super_turtle]

Interesting...

Last boss event I was able to get up to 18 boss kills using the middle option. This time I can only get to 8 and now I'm a few levels higher and a little larger army than last time.

[buyshalom]

Anyone have stats on the bosses? How many hit points to kill lvl 1 - 40 (I suppose).

Did you break lvl 80? I noticed the boss is alot tougher at lvl 87 then he was at like lvl75 for me the first time. And my attack is 2x what it was then.

[albeezy]

I need 60 more allies. I have sent ally requests to many of you. If any of you can add me please do so. THANK YOU
My code is 630488613

[Dewsy]

After a brief burst of luck getting a rare, the commons are back.. 1 rare and 7 commons so far after 8 bosses. Not sure how many more I will be able to get with free hits, 1 possibly 2.

[Super_turtle]

I'm back to commons as well.
My current battle results:
1. Court Gunner 12/18 (common)
2. Battle Griffin 19/11 (common)
3. Garrison Sniper 44/26 (uncommon)
4. Castle Advisor 20/50 (uncommon)
5. Castle Airship 83/92 (rare)
6. Battle Griffin 19/11 (common)
7. Battle Griffin 19/11 (common)

[echus14]

Another rare. Woohoo! 2 rares, 1 uncommon, 8 commons...next up, boss 12.
Congrats HK! Got some shut eye so now only boss 11 for me.

A question. The bosses get progressively stronger, but is this purely based on one's stats at the start of the event or is it adaptive (that is, if I increased my Attack stats or allies in, say, level 5 boss game then level 6 boss' strength is based on the new base line of your upgraded Attack stats rather than the original stats)?

[Hapl0]

Good question Wing, i wanted to know the answer too.

[Jhoemel]

Doing the level 8 boss and added 50 allies. Hope to get a rare this time

[Hapl0]

Just killed 9 bosses, 2 rares, 1 uncommon and 6 common. My luck is better this time.

Killed level 8 boss. Got a uncommon. I have 2 uncommon and 6 commons so far

[Hobtuse]

at boss #6. 5 commons, 1 uncommon. estimate the limit to be at boss #8.

[Slickster]

Question to all who shall lay eyes upon this. I just beat the black night and was taken to a screen similar to the usual one when u get a unit for beating the black knight. But this time after I won I gave me a unit which was called the name unit title, with att 666 and def 999 and in small caption it stated additional text here if needed. After I clicked ok to accept my new champion ur vanished and never went into my inventory and after several restarts still no unit to use or name , anyone else having or ever had this problem

[Euchred]

4 commons and 1 uncommon and that's as far as I can get with 43k attack

[Joe Brown1]

I finally got my last 2 Elixirs to get to 15 and the 3rd unit. Now onto the boss event. Started with 2 commons - hopefully my luck will improve:)

Hap, did you get that last elixir you were looking for?

Your job is magnificent as usual.

[Hapl0]

Wow, Joe, amazing job. Sadly in OT i got 5 or 6 boxes but zero elixir there. I hope your luck still smile at you. I got my first rare killing the fourth boss, the uncommon with the sixth boss and the second rare with the 9th boss.

[Joe Brown1]

Thanks all! I got through 14 bosses last time so hoping for the same or better this time. If I can match my 2 rares from the last event I will be happy :)

[buyshalom]

Anyone have stats on the bosses? How many hit points to kill lvl 1 - 40 (I suppose).

I have looked at some simple formulas to guess Boss Hit Points (attk points to kill respective Black Knight)
So far this pattern roughly works up to lvl 5 boss.
BHP= 300(your lvl*boss lvl)
Pls add to this info if you have any. or try the formula out. thanks.

[oh_crap]

Only started last night. At boss 5. So far all are commons.

1: Liege Griffin
2: Royal Gunner
3: Palace Guard
4: Liege Griffin

[Victorious]

I am having a problem with this boss event. The last one worked fine, but when the boss appears I get the option to fight just as before. But every time I press the green fight button,KA crashes and I end up back on my iPad desktop. When I relaunch KA it shows that I am engaged with the level 1 boss fight, but when i look at my quests and select it and press fight, the entire KA app crashes again. How can I actually fight without crashing?

[tcapi]

Standard Operating Procedure..... Delete the App, shut down the iDevice completely, reinstall and try. Fairly good chance of getting it back on track or the least you could do.

[Kiss Of Death]

Beefing up on Basilisks and beat boss 13 using 10 cash and 2 free hits... had time to have used 2 more free hits so maybe could have done it with 9 cash hits and rest free... Getting harder again. Lvl 95, 400 allies, 73401 attack.

Saving up to fight boss 14 which was where I got stuck last game too....

1 rare, 2 uncommon, 10 common.... but all stats are weak. The commons are less powerful than a 425 gold Invoker or 750 gold Paladin.... The uncommon are weaker than basilisks, Flaming catapults and trebuchets, cannons and more... so will never see battle for me... the rares with at least one stat in the 100's will be th only useful ones... I am guessing since I am one of those afflicted with this boost stuff that all the event items, crate items and LE items out since do not have the adjustments done... I am playing on in hope that they fix this or just drop me back across the board to normal again. BTW the bosses are harder to beat as well as their hit points are boosted too, but the new units are not.

I never knew my buddies came over here.

Done with level 10 boss. done with the event also. Took 13 cash hits to beat the boss

The event is over for me. Boss 7 took the full 13 cash hits.

6 commons, 1 uncommon. Pretty pissed that the same has happened again.

[Hapl0]

Just killed 10 bosses, 2 rare, 1 uncommon and 7 common. The 10th boss need 3 or 4 cash hits. Account lvl 25.

[Lauren]

Hi all, does anyone know how to get more powerful I was ok with the first few dark lords now I'm really struggling to beat them,

Can anyone give me any help?

Thanks

[Hapl0]

Maybe we need more info Lauren, just like your level and number of allies. Sometimes if you aren't full allied and you raise this factor you should be more powerful to kill bosses.

[DIrishB]

I just finished boss 10 and stopping there. Got 2 Rare units (Regal Warrior 101/74 and Liege's Counselor 61/114) and 8 Common units so I'm pretty happy with the Rares I got. I could probably get to 12 or 13, but figure it's not worth the cost in gold for what will likely be Common units.

[echus14]

Two more commons. An angry chicken and the man hunting it. And then one uncommon, another Adviser.

1 x King's Airship 75/82 Rare
2 x Regal Adviser 19/42 Uncommon
3 x Liege Griffin 17/9 Common
2 x Palace Guard 13/13 Common
5 x Royal Gunner 10/16 Common

Next is lvl 14, probably my last unless I can get more allies or boost my Attack stats.

[The1nONLY]

Well done The1nOnly! How much gold did you to spend?Not much gold but gems was alot around 5000 gems from level 19 to 40 it could of been less but I didnt want to wait for health to recover so bought cure potion all the way. For those who havent got to level 40 boss it goes pass level 40 maybe to level 50 and maybe you can win something else after that cause it alOud me to goto level 41, maybe I try tomorrow

[Hapl0]

Congratulations the1! It's amazing.

[Dewsy]

Great stuff the1! Very impressive.

Currently fighting the 9th at the moment, don't see myself going above 10. Got 1 rare and 7 commons so far, and pretty happy with only the one rare, can't complain with a free 100+ stat indestructible unit.

The "Hint" is to buy more powerful units to beat the black knight. What is your attack number and allies?

[Teldran]

I'm unclear how you are able to hit the boss 13 times as listed on the first post without using potions. Each time I hit using either the free or gold option it takes 25% health and 26 min to recover. That gives me 9 or 10 hits in 2 hours. How do you hit it twice every 26 minutes? Thanks!

Lvl 62, 130 allies, 14k attack

[The1nONLY]

Buy the highest Attack value units/equipment you can or raise your Boost buildings.

[Lauren]

Thanks I'll try that

[The_Legend_Shall_Live_On]

There was earlier mention of gold received from beating a Dark Knight battle. Looks like the gold is 1000 x [# of DK you're battling].

So I just bested #20 (yes, I used one gem timer reset. First time though) and got 20k gold when he dropped. Still keeping an eye on experience though, as I'm not sure how much you get. If anyone knows, chiming in would be great!

[MaverickMunkey]

Level 88, 200 allies, A33.5k. The Boss is harder to beat at higher levels.

I definitely agree with you on that one - the Level 9 Boss is a pain in the arse to try and beat and I am going to try one last time and if I don't get it this time stop trying.

[DIrishB]

As you can see boss level goes pass level 40 Beat the Elite!!! http://i1240.photobucket.com/albums/gg497/tidalwave81/7a381a23.jpg

Interesting. Wonder if there's a different unit prize for beating whatever number you have to get to on this one. It would be pretty lame if it's just the common, uncommon, and rates with no grand prize. Also wonder if that grand prize is merely another Black Knight, a Black Knight with boosted stats, or some uber secret it's so awesome it can't be revealed unit (unlikely since knowing the stats of the prize units is most of the motivation for people trying to get them).

Do notice they have new slightly altered unit names and stats. This kind of makes me think the grand prize for getting to 50 or whatever it is is another Black Knight with boosted stats and a slightly different name (The Dark Knight ;) ).

[Ahenobarbus]

I'm struggling at the level 9 boss too. This epic boss is still prohibitively strong. I had hoped he might have been nerfed, so as to extend the competitive capacity of the event, but as with the gladiator king, I've largely lost interest. At least I was lucky enough to nab a few rares during the short window of playability.

Congrats on the rares - still only got one uncommon and 7 commons. Unfortunately, none of the commons are brought into battle so a bit of a waste for me!

[Guido69]

This event was not very "giving" for me.

10 bosses, 8 commons, 2 uncommons

[Funkey monkey]

How do you hit it twice every 26 minutes? Thanks!


Teldran, welcome to our forum. HK helped me figure the timing out with the last boss, but I kept missing my time window. What really made it easier for me was to use a timer on my phone with an alarm.

[spectra]

I definitely agree with you on that one - the Level 9 Boss is a pain in the arse to try and beat and I am going to try one last time and if I don't get it this time stop trying.

I hit boss once with the gold option and did 80k of damage, his life bar was reduced for about 5/7 percent, which makes me think that my boss #9 has over 1M life points, and that is only #9 WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

and the developers when CCM asked, said that after checking and trying decided that beating 40 bosses in KA would be fair.............hahahaha, when 97% of players cannot make it pass boss #10 and pretty much the "epic" boss event ends for most of us in during the very first day

Maybe it just me misreading the forum but does it seem to be those over Level 80 or so seem to have more difficulties reaching a higher level boss using just the middle option than those on lower levels.

[Guido69]

I agree with that. Last Epic Boss event I was level 75 and had no problem defeating 16 bosses. This time I started at level 80 and needed 20 gems for recovery to defeat boss 10.

[MaverickMunkey]

Right - I have finally managed to get my timings right and have defeated the 9th boss and gyess what - a common unit. So my total for this event, 1 uncommon and 8 commons - I see my usual event luck is holding up!!!

The 9th just took me 12 hits - so that is my event over as I am not going to add a huge number of allies to ry and get further. Maybe next time!

[GetItOn]

I agree with that. Last Epic Boss event I was level 75 and had no problem defeating 16 bosses. This time I started at level 80 and needed 20 gems for recovery to defeat boss 10.

Yep, my attk is even 2x what it was last event in my 70's but passing lvl 80 I fell 4-5 bosses less than last time.

[Kiss Of Death]

Upto Boss 17...

Will now need to be all cash hits... have room to boost my stats with another 75 allies though so that should help but my density is now starting to decrease... I am adding about 5-10 Basilisks a day as well to try to keep up but it's now enough....

This one is far harder than MW and 99% because even at boss 17 its just under 2000 gold a hit... there is no way you can easily make 26,000 + going forwards every 2 hours... and don't get confused about IPH, IPH is per hour but you don't get to collect your big buildings every hour! (My IPH isjust over 5,000)

My unboosted stats are in the 51,000's (Thanks Hap10) for attack or boosted as I see tham at 76,000 attack.

so I'll keep adding allies and trying to buy basilisks but in the days remaining and need to make money to do hits I think I'll peater out by boss 20... Maybe the next one I'll be stronger and I should be bale to bump up from 80- Basilisks to 180 by next big boss.

[Gree player]

I think the epic boss event is very biased towards higher level players. The player at lower level, say level <40, will get bosses will very low attack/defense compared to higher level player. It is general practice that higher level player will take more time to level up because they have to earn more XP points and they also spend more time on each level as they will be entering into whale territory. On other hand, lower level player quickly level up and will be more likely visible to higher level player. As a result, same boss with different A/D will come into picture and the player that got the boss at lower level will be at disadvantage.

Epic boss event seems like discrimination for lower level players. The box event is much better as the unit has same A/D irrespective of the level of the player.

Rubbish, a lower level player who camps and has built up his IPH, upgrades his troops buildings and unlocks high attack def units while camping will far exceed a high level player whose starting hit points on a boss are level based. Plus at higher levels you get higher exp for most PvE maps you have that are worth doing and for beating bosses so you climb quickly here too!!!

As a player who rose up quickly I have the huge disadvantage of having low IPH so can't afford to do 2000 gold a hit bosses and I'm only a 1/3 of the way through... so it will cost me 26,000 gold to fight boss 17 assuming I can do enough damage to kill him.. Then there is the fact that I have only just unlocked a few decent troop types to increase my attack and def. The only reason I have done so well is I have over 200 crate units and a few major prizes back in the day when we had the 10 item events. You'll find as many high level players are disadvantaged as low. It is only the campers who have the strongest chances without gems.

Same goes in MW.

[Hapl0]

GP, i believe the boss is easier in lower level, with my account lvl 25 (stats 4,500/6000) i killed the 10th boss with 4 cash hits and if you check many free player with levels above 50 can't kill the 7th boss.

And rubbish because my level 19-(ended on lvl 25) beat the boss in MW and it only cost me about 400 gold for heals and mega hits on the last 5 bosses... that means I got to 25 without gold! and I'm only an early camper.. with that account. Imagine the guys I see at that level with IPH's near 250,000+ and with maxed out shipyards, and infantry etc etc.. they are scary! if they wanted to they could get nearly there. OBVIOUSLY to get the big boss its designed that some gold/gems need to be spent.... either on units or heals and mega hits. But if you are close and happy to throw a few bucks in then you can have an amazing rare unit for a fraction of the price of an LE top item costing 900+ with a 1/3 of the stats.

Rather than be a winger, why don't you go great if I WANT to play this event I CAN win indestructible units for some IPH cash/gold.

You wingers have your heads screwed on wrong.

Imagine the guys I see at that level with IPH's near 250,000+ and with maxed out shipyards, and infantry etc etc.. they are scary! if they wanted to they could get nearly there. OBVIOUSLY to get the big boss its designed that some gold/gems need to be spent.... either on units or heals and mega hits. But if you are close and happy to throw a few bucks in then you can have an amazing rare unit for a fraction of the price of an LE top item costing 900+ with a 1/3 of the stats.

Rather than be a winger, why don't you go great if I WANT to play this event I CAN win indestructible units for some IPH cash/gold.

You wingers have your heads screwed on wrong.

And you seem to have no head while replying. This is my opinion that epic boss is biased and I stand by it. Do not mention what you do in MW. This is Kingdom Age forum.

I have looked at some simple formulas to guess Boss Hit Points (attk points to kill respective Black Knight)
So far this pattern roughly works up to lvl 5 boss.
BHP= 300(your lvl*boss lvl)
Pls add to this info if you have any. or try the formula out. thanks.

Does anyone know if this formula is correct? I'm going to check it with the level 14 boss I'm currently fighting, but if it is correct it makes it easy to calculate if you can kill a particular boss with 13 hits, or if you need to buy a few more units to increase your attack.... or when it's time to give up (for us free players - you gem players can just keep mashing that gem button until your credit card runs dry :) )

[Gree player]

GP, i believe the boss is easier in lower level, with my account lvl 25 (stats 4,500/6000) i killed the 10th boss with 4 cash hits and if you check many free player with levels above 50 can't kill the 7th boss.

Congrats for clearing level 10 boss. I hope you would have got uncommon or rare unit. Check the stat (A/D) of it and compare it with someone at higher level (say level 45) who got same/similar unit. All these units are indestructible so anyone who gets it at lower level will be at disadvantage forever.

[echus14]

Chill, people, chill. I think too many late nights with the stream of box events, epic boss events and Olympics ... lots of short fuses. Make love, not war ... oh wait, sorry ... that's another website :o ;)

Errr ... sorry, but why would they be disadvantaged forever? :confused:

[Hobtuse]

@Gree player: What you have said mostly doesn't make sense bar the point that on units at lower level being at a slight disadvantage. The lower the levels, the easier the boss event as the boss's hp is pegged to level but players' attack do not increase as fast as the increase in boss hp. For free players above level 100, the event is especially tough. Boss #8 is the limit for me.

@echus14: They would be slightly disadvantaged as the units get better in tiers according to your level. So there is the possibility of your common units getting outclassed by gold units later in the game as compared to some common units being still feasible/better than gold units for higher levels.

This is however compensated by the fact that lower levels do get more shots at the boss level than the higher levels (in a free player's perspective). Even if the rares you get at lower levels are not as good as the rares people get at higher levels, they are still very good indestructible units and lower level players get more chances to get a rare with more tries in the boss event.

[Ssne]

Can antone tell me what level the bosses appear in KA? Just checked the board and see there's an event but no luck for me. Level 34 here (I'm assuming it's level based but if something else I'd love to know!)

Thanks

More chances has nothing to do with getting rare unit. I could hardly complete boss #11. I got 3 uncommon and 8 common units. No rare. Do you still believe that I would have got more rare units because I could complete level 11 and you can go only till level 8? Please let me know how many common, rare and uncommon units you got from 8 bosses.

Hi, first check your quests.

If you have the "Defeat the Black Knight" quest, then all you need to do is to activate the event via actions like PVP, or PVE.

If you don't have the event, wait 5-10 mins, exit the app, restart it and the event will load.
If it doesn't load still, check the app store to see if your KA app is the most up to date version. If not, update..

Good luck :)

That's just luck. Last boss event I killed off 12 bosses and got all common bar one uncommon. This round I got three uncommons for the first three, then a common then a rare... it's like Christmas :) Since it's random, it just comes down to luck. And the more bosses you kill the more chances you get.

you are obviously not the sharpest tool in the shed. more chances DOES give you more chances to get a rare unit regardless of other factors. That's basic.

Thanks Hobtuse. I agree with you and that was my understanding too. What I could not understand was the comment about being disadvantaged FOREVER. My take on this is that at the lower levels, we have an easier time of getting a weaker indestructible unit. Sure, some of common ones are pretty lame even at level 40-ish, but the rares and uncommons will probably stand me in good stead for a time. Eventually, if I progress much further in levels, yes, even the lower levels rares will be of little help (but hey, I should have got my use out of them and so now they can be put out to pasture). It doesn't disadvantage me forever. All of the preceding is of course premised on FREE play. If I'm buying gems, I might as well just buy a unit directly. That would give me a better assurance of return for my money than any of the rare units (aside from the Black Knight himself).

Thanks for taking the time to explain :)

[Gree player]

In next epic boss event, funzio should also give variable Attack/Defense for the ultimate boss or knight.

[echus14]

I don't think that would make much sense from a business perspective. All of these events (heck, the game itself) is ultimately there to encourage gem/gold purchases with real world money. So, whichever level you are in, if you are going to spend real money on this event, you will want equal rights to get the same Black Knight. Otherwise, you will tell yourself that I might as well save my money, play the event as a free player until I am at a higher level and have a shot at the higher-speced Black Knight.

The boss should appear since level 6 (an ally told me this) and in the first boss event one of my accounts lvl 8 could see and participate in the event. The auction event only appear if you are level 10.

Okay, so the formula

BOSS HIT POINT = 300 * (your level * boss level)

is incorrect. I'm level 57 and fighting a boss level 14 by that formula he should have HP value of 239400. I hit it 11 times for damage of 19897 and then increased my attack for the last two hits (judging that I wouldn't have enough) and hit it two more times at 20080 for a total of 259027 and the stinking boss still didn't quite die (13,000 gold wasted, grrr). Just hung on by a thread so I'm guessing it probably has about 260K of HP.

Anyone else want a stab at the formula? Next boss event I'm going to keep track of all the kills and figure this out.

[echus14]

I must admit, I kind of like these boss events. Since I know I will never reach the end as a free player and there is plenty of time to play the event, it only comes down to how many allies I want to add (usually temporarily) and how much I want to spend (in gold) for new attack units. It's a lot less stressful than a box event where you tend to want to try for 20-22 times a day (YAWN! I need my beauty sleep). For boss events, after 2 days, I usually can take my time to play the last 3-4 rounds until I max out. Very happy to see the gold reward at the end of the new boss event too as it helps to defray some of the cost as you start to use more gold shots. At least for my level, think the latest tweaks by the developers have been overall, positive.

[Hapl0]

Custos, in lvl 25 i killed boss 1 to 3 with one cash hit with attack near 4k. I'll try to check in the next boss event too.

[Hello Kitty]

2 rares, 2 uncommons, 10 commons...up next: boss 15. Had to restart him. Booo!

[tcapi]

Boss HP = 300 * (your level * boss level) is certainly incorrect.

Level 106, Boss 7, I have to do more than 514,000BHP.

Quick and dirty way is to use ruler to measure the health bar.

[Kiss Of Death]

Awsome... killing boss 17... have had to heal once... I think I may have to JUST heal twice and all beause i forgot to set my alarm and left it for 10 minutes too long.. that cost me 2 more hits in the normal scheme... but i can;t afford to start him again... bummer. I still don;t know what I'll do... I just can;t justify money on these big awards... thier not strong enough for the amount of gems I'd need to get from 17 to 40! Need higher densisty... but now I'm driven to have 300 basilisks by next big boss!!

Good luck Kitty. And yes, it sucks when 13 hits later there is just this thin sliver of life left in the opponent (but you have the option of using the healing potion, right?).

[Joe Brown1]

Bad boss luck this event - 7 commons, no uncommons, no rares:p

[Hapl0]

Too bad Joe, maybe in the next boss event.

[Joe Brown1]

3 rares last event - hopefully will get something from the next couple of bosses

[albeezy]

I think I could get deep into the 20s with the bosses if I could raise enough money to buy more trebs. Sitting at 13k attack with 173 allies at level 37. I could add 12 more allies. Have 118 trebs (27/12) and 139 seige towers (23/5). If I could max my units with trebs (need 401 more at current ally count) I could add 8k more attack giving me 21k attack at level 37 without adding more allies. I just need $882200 more gold. Maybe I can add 100 by the end of the boss event. Will keep adding and upgrading and see where I get. About to finish boss 15 with cash hits.

If I added better weapons and armor I could raise my attack higher than 21k. I am currently not fielding a full armory for my ally count

EDIT: Results posted in post #16 of this thread (3 rare, 3 uncommon, 9 common)

[Morkeleb]

i've had terrible results so far. For the previous boss event, I was about levle 77 or 78, had about 340 allies with an attack about 25000. Killed 16 bosses, got 3 rares, 3 uncommons and 10 commons.

now I'm lvl 80 with 374 allies and just under 30K attack. I'm trying to get boss 9 (don't think i'll be able to get him), and have gotten only commons.

Blarg.

@euchus - That's the worst! The one minute sliver of health that forces you to buy potion. Grrr. At least you can use some of the potion to start the next boss a little bit earlier.

how much does each boss hit cost? Is there a forumla similar to the one for the crate events? Bos 15 was $800 per hit? Need to know how much cash it is going to take to beat boss 16?

[Little Lou]

Thank you very much...very helpful info as last event I only got to boss 8 and with your info at my disposal I am so far at boss 13 !! not getting any uncommon or rare items but just glad to be getting ahead this time...again tyvm !!!
KA 353-754-587

[albeezy]

Boss 16 defeated, 13 cash hits at level 37. Cash hits doing 12748 damage for a total boss life of around 165724.
EDIT: Previously attempted boss 16 and failed as the boss had a sliver of health left, added a few more units and was able to beat him, so pretty accurate boss health

[Hello Kitty]

2 rares, 4 uncommons, 11 commons. Boss 17 was hungry for my gems...gave him 10.

[Funkey monkey]

Has anyone been able to figure out a formula that works to anticipate the stength of the boss for the next level?

The first 10 seem easier to me than the last boss event, but the difficulty of the first ten seem to increase faster. Mine have a range of increasing strength from 9 to 50% from each level. I conquered 13 bosses. The last boss #13 took 12 gold hits and one free hit. I don't wan't to waste 13 gold hits and not be able to take on the next one. I plan to add to my attack strength over the next several days but it would be nice to know how much I need. Bummer is out of 13 bosses, I haven't receive one rare - only two uncommons.

[custos]

Has anyone been able to figure out a formula that works to anticipate the stength of the boss for the next level?

Nope, not yet. Looking at some of the data people are posting, the algorithm for total boss hit points is obviously somehow based on your level and his, but probably not on your ally count or A/D stats. I've already maxed out at Boss 14 (just managed to kill him with 13 gold hits -- don't think I'd have a chance with Boss 15, and I refuse to spend real money :)). But next Epic Boss event I will keep track of the total boss hit points for each boss and see if I can figure out the formula. It would be helpful if others did the same so we can compare the data across different levels.

[echus14]

I've maxed out at Boss 14 too (and similar to custos, as a free player). Last one took 11 gold hits and 1 free hit. Unwilling to push up my Attack stats anymore as I'm now concentrating on buying HPs (my Wizard's Spire hit Lvl 7 over the weekend). Last unit won was another Gunner (got 5 of these guys now - good for a firing squad), so ended up with 1 rare, 2 uncommons and 11 commons. Pity I could not get the Counsellor (could I trade my 2 Advisers for 1 Counsellor? :) ) but the Airship ain't bad. All in the luck of the draw. Now waiting for a new box event to start on Thursday :p

[albeezy]

I may be done for the day as I might need to buy a few more units to beat boss 17 without gems. If I can add 15-20 trebs per boss I can keep going without gems Well see if I can finish off 17 tonight. Doing 13100 per gold hit

4 rare and 2 uncommon in first 16 bosses so pretty happy so far

Thanks echus! I have been pleased after getting only 10 commons on the previous event. If I can continue adding to my units between bosses I can beat more and hopefully get 1 more rare. Need to raise 30-40k for new units in between each boss though. Upgrading my siege workshop to level 7 the first day of the event though has allowed me to go from 4.5k attack to over 14k

I'm a totally free player, so such are really "Eeek!" inducing moments :) Still, just part of the fun of the event. I have noticed though that just increasing allies doesn't appear to do much for me. Increasing units seems more effective (but a lot costlier).

[Bacardio]

I know this is a total n00b question, but how do I know if one of my reward units is a rare, uncommon, or common unit?

[Hello Kitty]

I know this is a total n00b question, but how do I know if one of my reward units is a rare, uncommon, or common unit?No worries, we've all been there. I would recommend that you experiment and investigate some of the features in the game where you may see an icon like "?" or "i". There will be more data provided for you ingame - not so much sometimes, so come back to forum and ask or read the sticky guides (threads at the top of the list on the forum page) and they should also help.

Here's how you tell about the rare, common, uncommon. When you launch the boss on the Boss # splash screen, there is a list of rare items that you can win. If you click on the "?" you get something like this:

http://i1061.photobucket.com/albums/t478/vw111/loot.jpg

From here you can tell if your loot winnings from boss is common, uncommon, or rare.

Below is the screen where you would launch the details (note the "?" icon), next to "And Other Prizes!":

[The_Legend_Shall_Live_On]

Well, closing up on boss 24. Won't take him on. 23 down, 5 rare, 6 uncommon so happy about that. Sadly most of the uncommon were the Palace Herald units, so won't keep them forever 35/35. But they'll be at play for a while. And they won't die. So quite happy about that.

I used a total of 40 gems - 10 on boss 21&22; 20 on boss 23. Saw where that was going and when I ended with a Battle Griffin, that was it for me. So 20 bosses without gems and proud of that!

See you next boss event! Hopefully they will lower the algorithmic equations used to determine the boss hit points based off of what is statistically averaged amongst the KA players rather than what they think everyone should be at if we all camped for a month or so.

May the force be with us all!

[echus14]

Congrats GIO! 5 rare and 6 uncommon is a really good showing.

[EthanQ]

Sadly for me, both of the boss event I can only take down boss #8 and that's pretty much an end for me :(

[oh_crap]

At Level 8 now. 1 rare, 1 uncommon and 5 common.

[albeezy]

What level and attack were you legendliveson?

[jeffelms]

I've done all I can do without spending any more gems. I've won 23 times and used 70 gems. 1 rare, 3 uncommon and 19 common. I would have liked at least one more rare unit, but overall I'm happy with what I got with 70 gems.

[Kiss Of Death]

An earlier post caught my eye and so I have taken some extracts from my spreadsheet... I have not filled in all units and weapons... mainly because I have been concentrating on MW too much. And I have the modified units so I am reluctant to enter those in until I know if it is permanent or going back to the old stats...

Anyway....

We all add allies, we all buy units trying to boost... but have you looked at something that in effect makes up 2/3 of your attack score? It's not units....

Armour and Weapons.

Now you will get a lot of loot if you PvE like me but since I need 1300+ 20+attack and 20+def armours and weapons... well the reality is I need to BUY better equipment...

So how can I quickly tell what ones are and are not being used... like this... and from this I know where to best spend the lowest amount of cash to get the highest increases as quick as I can for the other 2/3's of my attack score....

Sort by Attack value or Def value to see which you need for what you want... (Open image in another tab or save and then view on your PC for detail.

We are on the same page KOD! I figured this out yesterday! I am playing slow and trying not to level so PVE is out for me. My new goal is to beat 40 bosses without gold or at least make an attempt to. If I am patient enough I can get attack over 36000 raw with my current unlocked units and weapons etc. Thinking that at almost triple my current stats (need a few more units/armor/weapons to take down boss 17) I could get into the 30s? Who knows. Might be a month (probably longer) before I can get there though. My new goal is to crank out an IPH over 10k as cash flow is my problem right now. Bosses 11-17 all took 13 hits, but I keep adding stronger units or weapons/armor, whatever I have enough cash for while still having enough to finish off the boss

Well, closing up on boss 24. Won't take him on. 23 down, 5 rare, 6 uncommon so happy about that. Sadly most of the uncommon were the Palace Herald units, so won't keep them forever 35/35. But they'll be at play for a while. And they won't die. So quite happy about that.

I used a total of 40 gems - 10 on boss 21&22; 20 on boss 23. Saw where that was going and when I ended with a Battle Griffin, that was it for me. So 20 bosses without gems and proud of that!

See you next boss event! Hopefully they will lower the algorithmic equations used to determine the boss hit points based off of what is statistically averaged amongst the KA players rather than what they think everyone should be at if we all camped for a month or so.

May the force be with us all!

Fantastic showing!! I seem to be stuck at 8. Will make 1 more run at 9 but not holding my breath - much worse than last time. Only got 8 commons:p.
