Updating...I'm out. This prediction in retrospect was overly optimistic. Last time I was able to go 5 levels before adding a 2nd medkit, this time it's 3 levels. #21 required 2. That projects out to needing 5 at level 30 alone, and 30 more on top of the 5 I already used. Not worth it when I could just buy a comparable LE, and make it an air unit related to my boost. Add to that the loot drops are worse this time (as others have pointed out), and I have stuff to do this weekend other than being tied to this game.

Good luck to the rest of you. If they come up with an air unit as the grand prize I might consider going through it again, though it is a massive time sink.

I just topped out on Boss number 22 without gold. I have roughly 46000 valor stored away. Should I use it all to buy another 160ish SFs and push forward? I don't mind using gold as long as it isn't until boss 25 or so.

I'm out at Boss 14 this time ladies and gents this Boss was a complete 180 turnaround for me as I made it to 36 on the last one...

Ive made it about 3 bosses farther on this boss than last boss.
@seq did u even use gold last event?

I just got beat by a boss, refused to buy a med pack. I was really close, I thought I had him. This event was a lot tougher and stingier than the last event, so I am not sure how much of my Tapjoy gold I am willing to spend.

But I have a question. If you get beat does the boss keep the same stats for the next go around, or do the bosses stats go up. I know I have to increase my firepower anyway, to beat him the next round, but was wondering if I had to as well compensate for a stronger boss, even though I am essentially re-fighting the same level of boss.

I am sure this has been asked before, does increasing allies help? I am not a complete gold army, but I'm relatively strong. I tried adding allies last event (added 20 random requests) and didn't really notice a difference however, I have 40 requests in store and since I'm in a "cushy" zone I wanted to ask before I click "Accept All"....senior members, advice please?

Boss 27 just took me 25 hits.

I did not use one single Gold bar on the last boss event and I was at full allies on the last one my attack was around 7500 and I didn't have any problems beating him (Shamba) but for this one I went to 100 allies..around 6100 Attack and I thought it was my attack so I went to full allies again and kept struggling so I gave up on it at LVL 14.

Wow. I got stopped at 18 here and had to use gold to finish him off hopefully I can win this 19-30 with roughy 480 gold.

I can't beat this one either seq... I beat the last one with 20 gold spent and this one I can't beat number 10 :(
At least I got a rare ship (coast bomber) with my last win

Finished boss 23 in 12 hits (cash only). Perhaps one more level without gold.
Got 5 SH, 5 EAD and 1 B27 extra for next fight. 2 hr break now while health regenerates.

just added 100SH's to my inventory... added about 2.5k attack to the boss.. hopefully will reduce my attacks needed by 1 or 2.

Just finished boss #16 . When I died I waited 26 min and came back to full health ! Got lucky

I went ahead and dropped 40 gold and used another level up to beat 17-19, got two uncommon air and a common infantry(the best common in this event IMO). I had 1 hit left but I fear if I do one more, the boss stats would jump enough to require another medkit. no way I'm going to drop 40 gold and risk the commons at my bracket.

I estimate I would need 600 gold to finish the boss from here. I'm currently at 373. The last unit would be well worth it but I told myself I won't spend this itunes card on this game till they make the bear work. If they announce a gold sale soon, I'm going to be tortured.

So as of now, I'm finishing with 5 uncommons, 40 gold spent, and still more gold on hand than I finished the last event with. Totally worth it.

Make sure you check my post above. You and I seem to be right at the same level. The curve on the boss strength per level seems to be steeper this time.

For the record, for those considering dumping allies/valor into this, I'm sitting on 50+ ally requests and 60k+ valor, and I'm not going to blow it all to maybe get one or two more levels. It's tempting, because I did do that last time, but the boss seemed to get relatively stronger too. No one's really figured out all the mechanics of this one yet, so YMMV.

At the end of the day, the main driver for me to get out is I have too much to do. Add on a 7 1/2 months preggers wife and...well, if you've been there, you know. ;)

It's taking me 40 per boss to beat now...

It totally skipped 20 gold (1 medkit). Went from cash only stright to 2 medkits.

Should I just ally up to d more damage on the boss? Or does adding allies event help. I have like 50 requests I can accept to boost my attack

Does anybody else set the timer on their device to keep track of time for the boss?

I do too WP once I get to the bosses that take more than about 9 hits. With less than 20 minutes (more like 16 I guess) of leeway to get all 13 non-gold hits in, I can't depend on my internal clock to remember often enough.

With 2 minutes left for boss 24 I needed my first medkit. I could finish the boss with a free one.
Boss 23 was my max no gold boss. Still 6 to go for the big one. At least my health is now full with this medkit. Saved myself from 100 minutes frustration time.

For those using gold, what is your method your using?

It depends on how much energy the boss has left after hit 10. Perhaps i can better use a mega attack. It will save some cash. Not sure how much damage it will give. It must be enough to finish the boss.

Just killed the 30th Boss! Whoo hoo.....


Loot: 4 Rare, 5 Uncommon, 21 Common, and 1 really big boat.
Stats gained: 1,533 A and 2,000 D
Gold spent on Med Kits: 480

Was wondering when someone would finally get it. I have 5 more bosses to go.

I wish. I have to use 3 medkits now.

I am on boss 21 now and had to use a medkit. My luck so far is good. 5 rare and 4 uncommon. 9 great units out of 20 bosses makes up for hitting 9 creates only once. I live on 7 every event and feel lucky to make it to 8 by the end.

I only got to boss 11 with no gold. I'm done.

updated first post

sorry dont have time to read through the whole thread

i'm using this method still:
http://www.funzio.com/forum/showthre...l=1#post309923

I just finely got my warlord tank from first boss event :) thanks to funzio for coming through for me. I'm not really tring hard on this one though. /: haven't had to much time to play working everyday lol.

I could only defeat 8 bosses with cash and that includes a level up attack so I have stopped. Last event I got all the way to 17 with cash and then started using gold and made it all the way to 30. Also, I had much better drops on the last event. This time I got all common with one uncommon for the 8 defeats. I hope they loosen up a little on these events because they are fun. Chasing walkie-talkies now.

I got to 15 without gold this time around, last boss i went to 25.

Funzio first boss was an experiment

second boss they are making sure 95% of players have to use gold after boss #10-14

Nice way of making tons of money.............Not from me!!!!!!!!

Currently on 29 but having to use approx 5 med packs. Will be camping straight after to build my attack through boost buildings.

Got to number 18, had to use a medpack for #19 tho. I got to 23 last time around and I think spectral has hit the nail on the head!! Good luck everyone,

Umm what happened?? I thought there was still a day left in the event but I lost my mission to defeat him 30 times.... I was on number 28....

For me the goal window was also not populated with the defeat general Shenk mission. But doing PVE it still triggered a new mission. The most important one. Now on my final level 30 mission so far used 19 hits ( 2 med packs used in the beginning already, to keep endplay stress to a minimum)
