[Aidan]

I'm ready but i'm not that excited. As always, i can only go up to boss #10. Gonna have to spend a fortune if i want to beat the boss. At my level and stats there isnt much i can do to improve my stats.

Aiden you are only 3levels higher than me and our stats are about the same. Do you use the time table from the forum? I was able to go further without a medpac.

[Aidan]

How much further were you able to go vball? I did the 13 cash hits and can only go upto 10. Last boss event i got to 11 with a level up refill for the last boss.

[Vballmadam]

I had to use a medpac on 15.

[BigDog146400220]

I can usually only get through 13 without gold. Maybe other have had different experiences but I have not seen much difference in my attack strength whether I'm low allied or max count? Maybe someone could share their experience related to ally count? Don't get me wrong... The actual number (attack damage) is always higher with higher ally count. But the amount of energy reduced on the boss's health bar doesn't seem to be any better. Anyone?

[Ryans67]

Ally count does not affect the boss health, as per CCMark's statement.

Edit* I should also add that I tested it, by dropping to 50 allies, from 350. Still went just as far as the one before, within a hit or two becaused I had leveled in between the two boss events.

Thanks Ryan. Good to know others are having similar experience. I have just seen comments saying you should be max allies to fight boss. I had not seen much difference from one boss event to the next. The first two I was at max ally. The last two I was at low ally count. I hadn't noticed any noticeable difference.

So you were able to beat just as many bosses at 50 allies as you did with 350?

This would mean that it does take in account your allies and then adjusts the bosses health accordingly.

Example: if you're at 350 allies and have 100K attack then you have 50 allies with 20K attack, but you still beat the same boss in 13 hits (1,300,000/260,000). This would mean that the boss's health had to have dropped according to your ally count.

I just thought of something.

Maybe it takes what your AA would be at max allies, then uses that as its base. Then it still uses where you rank in your level compared to others to calculate your boss' health compared to your current AA.

Completely agree. The question now is will adding allies after the first shot is fired give you an advantage, or will the boss adjust?.....and when will it adjust....on the boss you are currently fighting, on th next boss, etc.

I had not seen much difference from one boss event to the next. The first two I was at max ally. The last two I was at low ally count. I hadn't noticed any noticeable difference.

I have managed to increase the number of bosses I can beat without gold from 17 in the first boss event to 23 in the last boss event.

I realize I am a lower level and that makes a difference. I am below 50.

A big part of it was increasing the number of allies and of course arming them with cheap high attack units. I moved from the Amphibious hover craft initially to the Harrier jet and then to the demolition expert. Each upgrade provided more firepower and interestingly got cheaper to buy, meaning I could buy more for the same amount of money. I had to buy new buildings and upgrade other buildings to unlock the last two units. I have spent millions of dollars but have picked up some decent gold units in the process.

In the process, I have significantly upgraded both my Attack and Defensive score.

Now I am looking around for more firepower and realize I have to upgrade some other buildings/bases as well I need more cash, so I need to upgrade cash buildings.

I am eventually going to hit a level where I can't increase my attack without buying gold units, but until then I do what I can.

[Vballmadam]

If I heard CCM correctly, first it's the level you are on. Then there is a formula based on the raw attack score that they feel you should have at that level. If you are above that level you should be able to beat the boss. How close you are to that formula the farther you can go.

CCM if you are lurking would you please confirm or correct.

[BigDog146400220]

I know many people want to see an air unit this time... But I want another boat :)

[Copenhagen]

My assertion is that the strength of the boss is based upon level and ally count. The bucket you fall into determines the strength of the boss. Your success can only be compared to others at similar level/ally count (i.e. same bucket). If your raw attack is stronger than that of others in your bucket you will likely have more success in beating the boss further without health packs.

[Vballmadam]

Thanks Cope!

[negotiator]

It is showing up in my goals anyone activate a boss yet?

[Warfiend]

I'm stocked up on tapjoy gold(back over 500) and ready to kick some boss arse. Bring it.

[Baraka]

Hope it's soon. It's looking like tommorow now as I thought it would be done by now.

[C0720]

It's in my goals list too. But I can't activate him. Just tried.

[Vballmadam]

He's on my goal list also. Took me three hours to activate him last time. I was way behind everyone else!

[SoccerStud]

It's an air unit!!!

[Vballmadam]

Just defeated the first boss!

Well, the statement that ally counts don't matter has just been debunked. Before the event I dropped my allies down to 25. Now that the event is finally working for lvl150+ I was able to test to see what difference it made. I was able to beat boss #1 with 13 cash hits. Before I was able to get to 8 on cash hits and I've added around 10% more attack.

[Ryans67]

I think the statement has been that altering your Allie count will not change the boss health, instead it will affect the damage you deal to the boss. Did you add the allies back once the event started? Or did you use 13 hits on boss 1, with only 25 allies?

[Giedrybe]

According to my tests, ally number does not increase/decrease boss health. It increase/decrease your hit, so generally you should go max allies for boss events. For this you get bigger punch thrown at boss, but you expose yourself for different rival list. Player's choice what to choose.

I tried with 25 allies.

It makes more sense that changing allies doesn't affect boss health.

What I have noticed though is that when I start an event with low allies and then add to max, my attack is close or less than my raw attack. But when I start the event with max allies, my attack is close to my boosted stat.
