Nice! I found, too, that my rare & uncommon to common ratio was much better the lower my level. I'd get 3 - 5 rares in 21 bosses for each boss event, as well as 4 - 8 uncommons. Now above level 68, I get 1 - 3 rares, a couple of uncommons and all commons (last event was 25 commons, 2 uncommons and 3 rares; almost the same for the one before) in 30 bosses. Ah well. May your luck forever continue!

Obviously I'm not having the luck I had last time :( I should be able to get the dragon though. #10 took 8 free hits. I've got about 240 allies now w/ a listed attack of about 31k. I'm getting 19,600 per free hit.

This boss event is tough for 100+ level. I envy players who can defeat bosses at 10+ level with 4-5 gold hits only.

Which units are you talking? I thought the "awards" for beating the boss 15, 30, and 50 times have the same stats regardless of level.

[albeezy]

The 15 unit is better than both the previous lower tier units with about 450-475 total stats. Previous ones were below 400 or so

[Munseyspin]

Not sure I agree, maybe you've gone through a level bracket or something?. At my level the scarred hydra and bloodfang? bear have noticeably better stats than the current boss15 dragon. The rares were also better especially the ogre. IMO the units are definitely weaker.

[Munseyspin]

Unless of course it's not level but this boosted unit thing. I have always seen and received the "boosted" units. I think the bear has 400+ defencein my profile. I wonder if now everybody receives the same unit regardless of whether you are "boosted" or not? The boss 15 dragon has something like 260ish attack for me, can't remember it's defence (230ish maybe) and from the screenshots I've seen this is the same for everyone?

[Jhoemel]

JUst beaten boss 14 and i have 1 rare, 2 uncommons, 11 commons

[Toddm27p]

Yes it does appear all who get the Sapphire Dragon now have same stats: 268/217. I also use to have boosted stats.my last 2 boss events units had much more total points. Bloodfang Bear: 264/464 and Scarred Hydra: 263/338

Can someone help me... does the (1) weapon for hero help on battling boss (2) does is matter if I stock up on one weapon type for hero (will it still be brought to battles or used in boss) i.e. if i bought 3 hero Heavy battle Axes will my army use all of it or will all of it it be use in the battle with other players and boss (3) do hero skill points count/help in defeating boss

thanks

[echus14]

@B@ndit
1. Yes
2. Yes, unless for the number of permitted weapons, that weapon is weaker than whatever else you have.
3. No

Update: This is looking bad this time. It's officially my worst event, although not as bad as someone's 28 commons. The good thing is I should have the dragon tomorrow.

15 ?

13 commons, 1 uncommon. Ouch. I hope I'm due for the Chimera as the prize for #15 to go with the dragon bonus. That's about what it'll take to make this even a decent event for me. I guess on the bright side I did get the best of the 3 uncommon prizes.

What level are you and what are your stats?

[Ssne]

Is anyone else finding this event much more difficult than prior? At L49 A~25K I took the last one down 25ish times with free/gold, and got 30 kills and the cyclops using about 100ish gems. This time at L53 and A~30K I got him 17 times and stopped. No chance to get to 30, and would need gems to get the 18th done. Alas, no rares either.

I am not sure how to really raise my attack with any rate of speed from here. Best available unit is flaming cat but I have 270 of those so each incremental is only raising the attack by 11 at this point.

My IPH is pretty good (near 8K), but you need many days of that to outfit 795 units with a $20K battleaxe.

Any comments/advice? Breeding den moving to L5 now so basilisk will be available but that's not a huge upgrade vs. the flaming cat.

Sounds like you went a tier to the 51-75 level bracket where the bosses are harder than the ones from level 26-50

My advice would be to camp at level 53 until you get a BD10 and then get all dragons. I plan to sit on level 50 until I have a BD10 even if it means sitting out a boss event or two. I will hopefully have level 4 manors or higher by then and level 7 or higher lenders, but we'll see. Currently have two level 2 manors and one level 4 lender and the other going to level 5 and I am level 44. Should still be at level 44 after beating boss 30 I should get at least 1 or 2 more boss events in before getting to level 50.

[jeffelms]

How much time is left? I still have yet to receive the splash screen...
Same here. I have not gotten a single splash screen this entire event. Sometimes I don't even get the screen that an epic boss is approaching. I have to constantly check my quest log if I'm trying get one to appear.

[Aha]

@Ssne as Albeezy said you must have gone into the next bracket.

Something useful I think I've found out is that your bracket for the entire event seems to be set by your level when you start the event. I was level 25 when I beat boss 1, by boss 30 I was level 29 so should have been in the next highest bracket, yet I was still in the same bracket as when I started (the boss didn't get a hike in difficulty and the prizes on offer did not change stats)

Owwwwch. That is a recipe for staying at L53 through Christmas!

[albeezy]

Owwwwch. That is a recipe for staying at L53 through Christmas!

LOL. At this stage it is only a plan. I figure there will be at least 4 weeks of my normal gameplay and upgrading before I have to stall things (i.e., reach level 50). I'll remain flexible and leave myself the option to press on at my normally slow pace collecting boss loot, but I really want to have a full Dragon army as close to level 50 as possible and more importantly want to remain able to have unvaulted gold.

[Nacon10]

Yes you went up a bracket. In 51-75 you need about twice the attack from 26-50. Do the math.

Easiest way to gain attack strength would be to go up to level 63 or so, go to max allies, and buy a lot of your best unit (10 x 5 x 3). You'll still be in the same bracket.
And then go camping till the next boss event.

[boardgames rule]

when does it end? Also is this a good idea to level up to 30 and get high priests for def. Now since they nerfed the weryn

[Baba2000]

10 down so far. I'm level 71. I'm including the damage I did to each boss

1 <19k Plains Challenger 22/21
2 <19k Mature Whelp 18/12
3 <19k Plains Challenger 22/21
4 <38k (I'd estimate 25k) Raider Harpy 18/21
5 <39k Plains Challenger 22/21
6 <59k Plains Challanger 22/21
7 <71k Centaur Spearman 48/44
8 <95k Raider Harpy 18/21
9 105k Raider Harpy 18/21
10 <155k Mature Whelp 18/21

Obviously I'm not having the luck I had last time :( I should be able to get the dragon though. #10 took 8 free hits. I've got about 240 allies now w/ a listed attack of about 31k. I'm getting 19,600 per free hit.

Oh, I'm at L118 A/D 67k/57k, I could kill Boss upto 8 only, with 12 money attacks, each 65k, ~780k. Can't even finish Boss 9 with 13 attacks of 65k. Anyone, seniors, share the same experience!

[Joe Brown1]

Does anyone know when this event ends? I have not had the intro screen pop up in awhile.

[Warfiend]

Had a good run on this one, my best boss event in KA yet. 23 bosses beat. 3 rares and 7 uncommons. No gems.

At this rate of attack improvement, I'm thinking boss event after next I might be able to get to 30.

[Dexter Morgan]

Ended boss 30 with 8 uncommon and 4 rare. Had to use about 140 gems

[echus14]

Congrats Dexter!

[Hobtuse]

ended boss #15, spent about 90 gems from boss #11 to boss #15 with Attack 115k (Force Attack 110k)

boss #15 gave me no units but the bonus sapphire dragon (sent in ticket for that)

2 rares, 1 uncommon, 11 commons. not really as good as what you guys get but for me, there is already 2 rares and 1 uncommon more than the previous boss event.

[Louis123]

Does anyone know when this event ends? I have not had the intro screen pop up in awhile.
Good question... I also need the info. On the other hand, does Army Attack (Skill Points) help in the Boss Event? Can anyone help?

[Dexter Morgan]

You must have a great attack hobtuse to get that far with so few gems. I know the boss event is terrible for high level players

[Dexter Morgan]

I think the event ends in 2 days, maybe 1.5 days

[Louis123]

My intro screen just popped up... The event will end in 1 day 4hr 54min. Does anyone know if Army Attack (Skill Points) help in the Boss Event?

My intro screen just poped up... The event will end in 1 day 4hr 54min. Does anyone know if Army Attack (Skill Points) help in the Boss Event?

no... boost buildings appear not to help either.

[Jhoemel]

This is also my best haul in the boss event.
2 rares, 2 uncommons and the sapphire dragon

[EiZ]

just finnished boss 15 with 1 rare and 3 uncommons, noticed that it takes 67k att to finnish him off without gems att my bracket, lvl 78, sick!

[albeezy]

My intro screen just popped up... The event will end in 1 day 4hr 54min. Does anyone know if Army Attack (Skill Points) help in the Boss Event?
Each attack skill point does 4 damage to the boss. If you do say 1000 damage per gold hit and then level up and add 1 skill point to attack you will then do 1004 damage + any extra attack received from the unit for beating the previous boss when you leveled up

[Guido69]

It is still baffling and in my eyes ludacris that stronger players can beat the same boss less times than much weaker players. Does not make ANY sense to me.

The strength of the bosses and the resulting prize units are proportional to your level, Guido69. Yes, a level 51 with lower stats has an easier time getting to 15 that you would, but your prize unit is significantly stronger, too.

Having a significantly stronger unit doesn't do the higher level players any good if they CAN'T get the unit!

The strength of the bosses and the resulting prize units are proportional to your level, Guido69. Yes, a level 51 with lower stats has an easier time getting to 15 that you would, but your prize unit is significantly stronger, too.

The Sapphire Dragon or the other units (for 30 bosses and 50 bosses) have the same stats independent of level, right?

This time- yes

I think the main reason Gree made the boss so hard at the higher levels is to give the newbies some hope. Why would you continue if there was no possible way to compete? The new players have access to some pretty high units to accumulate. The incentive is also present to push those in a lower bracket out of camping. You will notice there are some low level players able to go really high with the boss. Guess what? They are now progressing in levels when playing the boss events. I think it is by design and pretty smart.

I strongly disagree. Why would a low level player want to compete with a high level player? They simply cannot, since they are not in the same bracket. If you want to get higher stat units, level up.

Just sit back and think. A low level player can defeat the boss more times than a high level player and get a stronger unit more easily. Absurd.

Quite the opposite. The way it is right now actually does not provide any incentive to level up since you have a harder time to defeat the bosses and get a strong unit.

[RandomUser]

I didn't realize that the stats for the Sapphire Dragon were universal for everyone this time around. I do see your point, Guido69.

[Munseyspin]

Think I'm going to have to agree with funky monkey here. The boss events are a great way of building your units at a lower level or that's how I perceive it. I camp between bosses and then hit them for everything I can. Yes I level up but get some good units, without them I'd probably be over cautious and just stick up on ludicrous equipment. At my current level (49 now) I can defeat 27 bosses, 40 gems and a pretty good unit. So for me the boss events are more rewarding than camping and of course the auction events which are pointless.

Of course it is a great way for lower level players to get great units. The issue is that it is absurd and in fact not fair at all that higher level players with stronger attack points do not even get close to that.

[Funkey monkey]

I think you might have misunderstood my statements.

Everyone if they continue playing will end up at level 200 - competing with one another. A new player would have no hope to compete with someone that has been accumulating high level stat units for longer period of time. By introducing the brackets into the boss event, a new player can have hope to compete when the progress. I will give you an example. I won the first box event. My Molten Hydra's stats are 201/136. The level 15 boss Saphire Dragon has stats of 268/217. However most players over 100 level will not reach boss 15. As a result a new player has hope to accumulate units that high level players can't and therefore have the ability to compete when they reach the higher bracket.

My second comment on proving an incentive to progress can easily be seen in these threads. Look at some of the low level players going after the bosses. When they camp, there is no progression in levels. When they compete against a boss, they gain XP and now progress in levels. To compete against the boss is the incentive to not do nothing.

You may disagree but I still think Gree was smart. If a high player wants to stay competitive, they have to spend gems- real money. Boss events keep the game viable for new players. New players means more potential money. You notice I didn't say fair- but when is war fair.

[Guido69]

...

So in your example, if the now low level player gets strong units more easily than a current high level player, then by that logic when everyone is at level 200, the now low level player has stronger units and therefore has an advantage.

Also, the current system encourages players to do NOTHING in between boss events.

If the system was fair and the chances of getting stronger units grows with your level then players have an incentive to actually play and level up.

[Funkey monkey]

But the current high level player has time on their side. They are building economy and collecting w/a. The boss events force the low level player to move up. They can't camp and forever collect units. They will also have a difficult time with the boss as they move up in brackets. I never said it was fair.

[Munseyspin]

I don't seriously think GREE expects lots of its players to reach 200, i certainly have no intention of doing so. Most players pick up apps then drop them as a new/better one comes along. They need to hook lower level players for as long as possible and so possibly give them a better deal which only requires a few gems. True high level players get a rum deal, but if you are that far into it you'll probably stick with it and even maybe spend more. It's a volatile, oppurtunist market, they probably have many many more lower level players and are not really over concerned about their minority high level and small gem players.

I know you never said it was fair. But that is all I care for.

In my opinion, as it is now it p.... many higher level players off. Players that have spent considerable amounts of time and maybe money.

Time is not really a factor as you are capped in the number of units you can bring into battle. Eventually all high level players have 1,500 units that go into battle. It does not matter whether one had a few more months playing time. However, the now low level player will have stronger units because of the currently unfair boss system.

Of course as a low level player you will level up during a boss event (1 or 2 levels) but you will camp and try not to do anything and stay in your bracket between boss events. The current system encourages that (as many have stated as their strategy here in this forum).

Ok. I got really upset thinking about that... One poor soul just got relieved of 200k :)

[GetItOn]

If you're 100+ and worried about a level 20 or 30, somethings wrong. LoL

But Boss events are geared to hook the new player into having fun (and doing well regardless of stats - they're supposed to be clueless new players, right? with the exception of the experienced players who go back and do extreme camping) and continuing with the game beyond a few days or the novelty factor of a new app game.

You are very right, sir.
But it is not caused only by the boss event.
The problem is that there is no incentive AT ALL to level up after level 50.

[thizznation2169420]

did anyone notice the stats changed on the rare items and the sapphire dragon i wonder why my dragon is 402a 326d

[boardgames rule]

Yea just saw that thats nice

[thizznation2169420]

i wonder how much the emberflame drake is worth now i bet its over 1400a

[boardgames rule]

Yea i beat boss 25 with 8 gold hits so we will see if i can beat it.

[Munseyspin]

It's attack 1428, defensr 1125 :-)

[Dr. Dengus]

did anyone notice the stats changed on the rare items and the sapphire dragon i wonder why my dragon is 402a 326d

Mine is still 268/217 ... lame lol.

Btw, judging from your forum name I'm guessing you're a bay area native?

[thizznation2169420]

actually im from o.c moved to the bay area when i was 17 lived there for 5 years now im back in oc im on boss 26 and im stuck it would probably take 100 gems to beat boss 30 idk what to do lol

[Dr. Dengus]

Lol. Hell if you can afford it, why not. If that Emberflame Dragon was in the unit store, it'd cost at least 2 - 3k gems.

[thizznation2169420]

if i had the link to free gems i would be able to beat him i have 71 gems right now but i think im going to wait on the next boss event hopefully they will fix my account so i could get some free gems. i know its my account cause when i transfer my account to another ipod same thing no link to get free gems but if i start a new account the link is there but then i transfer it back no link i already sent in 3 tickets no response yet

[thizznation2169420]

Yea i beat boss 25 with 8 gold hits so we will see if i can beat it.what level are youand whats your stats look like. you should be able to beat him without gems easy im stuck on 26

[boardgames rule]

I am level 27 with 18K att but started in the bracket below so it is easier

[thizznation2169420]

lucky you i wish i was still in that bracket i would be able to beat him 50x lol im lvl 42 with 30000a

[GetItOn]

Just defeated Boss 28 in the 100+ bracket. Doing it the slow, less gems, more gold way. #28 cost 160k gold to beat (including 85k gold after defeat). Time to raid another 150k while my health regenerates for the next one. Think i'll need 400k on-hand for #30. This way sux. LoL However, I think I've only used about 450 gems to this point with gems being required starting at #15.

[The1nONLY]

Anyone realize the boss units Sapphire dragon and EmberFlame Drake stats is now boosted.

[Tiki]

Anyone realize the boss units Sapphire dragon and EmberFlame Drake stats is now boosted.

I put in a ticket to support as I thought the stats were pathetic on all the prizes. They increased the stats on everything, but I am not sure if this applies to only the over level 101 group, or everyone.

Mine still shows the same?! 268/217

[Hobtuse]

@GIO: Do you see old stats? If you see old stats, there shouldn't be an increase. The increase in stats is probably for those who see the boosted stats as they were finding that their prizes didn't get the boost.

Wonder if the bosses for the boosted stat players are stronger than those who have unboosted stats?

[thizznation2169420]

Wonder if the bosses for the boosted stat players are stronger than those who have unboosted stats?i dont think the boosted stats work for the boss cause when i hit him i do less damage then my attack idk usually 500 less damage then my stats

[Dr. Dengus]

i dont think the boosted stats work for the boss cause when i hit him i do less damage then my attack idk usually 500 less damage then my stats

That's normal, I usually do ~1k less dmg with my cash hits compared to my profile attack score. I think it has to do w/ boost buildings not being accounted for.

[Hobtuse]

i dont think the boosted stats work for the boss cause when i hit him i do less damage then my attack idk usually 500 less damage then my stats

that is not what he meant.

What Dr. Dengus meant was whether the players who see the new stats (boosted by 50% for units) have stronger bosses for the boss events.

And boost buildings don't work for the boss events. That has been established quite sometime ago.

Precisely, didn't think they did, I was just stating what causes the difference between cash hits and your profile attack score. I'd hope those with boosted stats receive bosses with higher HP points. If not, it'd make a little sense to make the boosted stats available to everyone once reaching level 101. That way it'd give higher level players an easier shot at defeating the insanely difficult bosses. Oh well, wishful thinking lol.

The bosses strength is the same whether you have boosted stats or not. However, if you have boosted stats you deal more damage. Fair, isn't it?

[thizznation2169420]

whats boosted stats cause all my units in this boss event went up including my sapphire dragon but i dont have boosted stats how do u know if u have them what is boosted stats

[Dr. Dengus]

Haha that's what I was getting at. Guess the word "fair" is non-existent in GREE's dictionary.

Someone else will have to chime in on this one to get an exact answer. But what are the stats on your Flaming Catapults and Hydras for example? I see 34/16 & 40/36 respectively (don't have the boosted stats :().

Yeah I'm still on the old scale. They really need to get everyone on the same page with the unit values...

Btw, got my Ember drake with 12 hours to spare. LoL

On top of the Emberlfame Drake and Sapphire Dragon, I got 3 Rare, 3 Uncommon and 24 commons. Best event for me so far.
