The 14th boss just took 14 cash hits for me... Time to start burning gold I guess.
Guys, we have until sunday and only need to get to thirty bosses. Before blowing through gold, wait a few hours in between bosses. It will give you more health for the next time you fight.
I do, I usually wait 1:50 hour to start with a full tank, but still boss #8 took all 13 cash hits, last event I made it to boss 14 with cash options
I have noticed that at the same stats as the prior event I do LESS damange than before, that is BS!!
last boss #30 had over 3 million life points
I am done, THE EVENT STILL HAS SERIOUS BUGS!!!
I cannot say I am happy for the 8 units I got, since THEY ARE ALL $HITTY UNITS, I WILL NEVER USE IN BATTLE, well maybe the experience fighter, but that is it
I'm trying things a little different this time. I'm using free hits and the 13 hit method to see how far it will take me. Last time I did cash hits from the beginning as I figured I had plenty, and I did, but my cash levels stagnated as the boss pays out less than the cost of the hits required to take him down. Now my cash is growing nicely and despite taking longer to get through them, the savings will allow me to drop more money into some extra units while maintaining enough cash for the higher level bosses.
Not a big game changer, but every little bit helps.
****Edit - Some thoughts about adding units to take on the boss.
I just added some commandos to the point that they no longer move my attack score. At first I thought this was a waste, but then I remembered what CCMark said in the FAQ for the first boss event:
Does not say your attack score, but level/inventory and attack type. That with the reports by some that boost buildings had no impact on their damage dealt out, leads me to think if you have units that you take into battle above a commando due to boost, that having extra commandos that normally wouldn't make it into battle in your inventory might still help you in the event.Quote:

I have seen this on the last event. Makes me want to camp hardcore. Seems like every time you level up the event gets much harder.
what do your stats look like?
14 cash hits?? either you mis-counted or you have a strategy better than mine. most cash hits i can do within the 2 hr period is 13
Good luck. Hope you figure something out. ccm's posts are always so vague. Idk why it seems he cant elaborate on anything. I do think the boss's health is based, somewhat, on your attack score. Its the only reason that explains why pirates cant beat the boss without gold
Well I'm suprisingly already stuck at 8th boss, last time I got to around 20th or so without Gold. Better buy some more aggressive units and try again before reaching my waller. :)
@Warfiend
Did you assume that you could buy more units than you would typically take into battle when attacking the boss vs. attacking a player?
I Have bought over 320 Commandos at this point (something i was never planning on buying) and each one i buy adds to my attack score because i have 300 allies i bring to battle and my lowest attack unit is the A10 Warthog that has an attack value of 7 (although these will be phased out at the rate i'm buying commandos)
I bought 40 commandos and it seems boss 8 is easier than 7 that's a good sign
I don't see how it works. I have ALL those gold units, and it seems I am having the same difficulty as everyone else.
Okay, damage done was 5446. After buying a commando, my attack score in my profile dropped 1 point and damage done on the boss remained the same. Going to stick with adding the B52s for now. I'll look into this more in the begining of the next boss event when it's easier.
WHAAAAAT? That's absolutely crazy. How is that even possible? You should be able to walk to level 25 since last time i thought you made it to 45?
@ Warfiend: I notice that my damage sometimes fluctuates when i hit the boss. The one thing i would check is when you buy a unit does your attack value on your profile go up?
I am lvl 112 with 69k Attack (With Boosts). Boss 8 took 11 Cash hits so I don't think I will get past Boss 11 at this rate. I wonder what attack Funzio thinks I should have at this level? Anyone here around Level 112 using only cash for this?
updated first post- looks like the rare unit i got helped me out a bit. this boss took exactly the same number of hits as the previous one. only had a tiny sliver of health left after 7 attacks.
No, but I had toyed with that idea while considering what CCMark said. I was thinking more like say you have Unit A which is 10 but with a 20 percent boost it's 12. Then you have unit B which is 12 with no boost. For the boss, maybe it ignores boosts and so would ignore unit A in favor of unit B due to the higher unboosted stats. That would potentially allow someone who has a lot of boost to strengthen for the boss by buying cheaper units that normally wouldn't make it into battle for them.
My quick experiment did not yield results that support that though.
If my past experience is any indicator, your attack score on the boss should go up nicely in that scenario. I have to basically buy a minimum of strykers or hover crafts to get a boost at this point, and I get more bang for the buck just buying a B-52 than 3 strykers. So I'm limited to how much I can boost my boss attack.Quote:

OTOH, the strength I'm at currently is carrying me along pretty well using free attacks so I can't complain. I'm at Boss 11 and still don't have to spend any cash, let alone gold, to beat him. That will soon change though.
I hate my life and I hate this event
i'm telling you the bosses health must be based on your attack score! thats the only way to explain this crap. i think it might be based on your attack score from the beginning of the event, because making yourself stronger during the event definitely helps, but having strong stats to start with does absolutely nothing.
keep us updated. how many allies do you have and what level are you? i'm wondering if you have over "max" allies. perhaps you can bring more allies against a boss than you can bring to a battle?
I'm also using the free attack at this point, not the cash attack. I suspect my cash attack would be in the 8000s for damage. My army is mixed with about 20 percent event items(5 of them fairly strong), and probably 1/3 valor and the rest cash units, the weakest of which are commandos(only bring about 30 of them into battle).
yea it might help you to add allies and units. i think you have great potential in this event if you can double your attack score. not as hard as it sounds. i brought my attack score up about 13k in 24 hrs during the last event and i was already close to max allies
they mustve changed something, probably upset about how many people got the last item so they made it harder this time. 9th boss took me 7hits, might not sound like much but that same 9th boss took me 4hits before. >_>
added 120 allies and my attack against the boss only went up by 900
I'm level 55 with 65 allies and my 45th unit is a sentry bike 21/34
You must have a good iph manbeast. Bringing it up 13k is allloooot . I could blow through 40,000 valor spending on sh and buying units and still only go up a couple thousand
I just added enough allies to increase my att by 4K since I started this Boss
I have hit him 51K 5 times
54 K 2 times
55K 2 times
He is on his last little bar
Oh and did I mention this was only the Level 8 Boss. I beat 7 in 8 hits, boss 8 will take 10 hits.
Something is really not working here.
The giant sucking sound you hear is the sound of cash being siphoned from peoples wallets.
I got another common Im sad again
Life isn't fair. Hopefully I can get my allies back up to over 400 and have closer to >65K attack, and if that has no effect, I have no idea what is going on.
Preach it Poop! I can't kill 7. So I need to ally up I suppose. Maybe this can be the new add me thread!!
Add me guys I'm sad I wanna win for once
I just added lulu for no reason
