Yeah, I am trying not to level too quickly. Only level 38. Need to add armor and weapons as I am not fielding a full 570 of them when at max allies. I am stuck on 7 in MW and might be able to beat 8 once the next crate event starts and I can level up. I didnt get as far as I would have liked, but cant complain with 4 rares.

[Boom]

This was a good one. 2 rates defeated 9 bosses

I just got a loss from a player named Romi, who has the Black Knight amongst his units!
Couple of rares as well.
He is at Lvl 36 with A:8k D:8k, and a IPH of 451.

He must have spent some gold on the boss event!

At Lvl 38, what are your A/D and ally count to get to 17 bosses?? Oh wait, 570/3 =190?
Do allies above your maximum 'fight' against a boss?

I started the event with 45 allies and A/D of 5k/4.5k and went up to 15.5k/14k at 190 allies. Was only fielding about 486 armor so trying to purchase 84 more before next boss event. Used 550 weapons or so need to add at least 40 more before next boss event. Also trying to add more trebuchets 27 attack. 570 of those is 14985 attack and each one I purchase adds about 20 attack. Bought 150 during the event. Working on raising my IPH right now. Want to get it to 16k + so I can buy the good weapons and armor with the highest attack (16k-19k a piece).

I know people say farm weapons and armor from PVE but I am going to sit on level 38 for as long as possible only doing missions to trigger bosses and not doing any pvp and see if I can get my attack to 30k unboosted. I want to see if it is possible to beat all 40 bosses without gold. Might take a while though. My original strategy and backup plan is to eventually get a level 10 breeding den and all dragon army unless they change the stats of all the units again (mine are still unchanged grrr). My new strategy is to try and build a boss event loot army, one that hopefully includes a few of the top boss units that come with beating him 40 times

I believe that the level change driving the rewards and difficulty of the boss is 75 not 80. I saw someone (lvl 76) with a Castle Airship instead of the Palace Airship that I would receive at level 77. It had lower stats than the Palace Airship. I am guessing they received it at lvl 74 or 75and then leveled up. This would explain why I suddenly had much more trouble on this Boss Event than the last one. It may have been lvl 80 on the last event but it appears as though they changed the breakpoint to 75.

I was able to go through 14 bosses. I received 11 commons and 3 uncommons (bummer).

I’m still trying to determine how to estimate the strength of the boss. Has anyone determined a workable formula?

Here are the hits I took at each boss. All free hits until I got to boss 11. I had to boost my allies and attack score.
1 4813 1*4813
2 9626 2*4813
3 9626 2*4813
4 14439 3*4813
5 19252 4*4813
6 28878 6*4813
7 38504 8*4813
8 52943 11*4813
9 64490 10*6449
10 85137 13*6549
11 914293 2*6737+9*100091
12 117738 1*6737+11*10091
13 127829 1*6737+12*10091
14 142415 13*10955

Cool strategy. I will consider it for my own steps in the game.
I hope Gree comes with a regular Boss event.

I ended with 1 uncommon, 6 commons and finally 1 rare. Happy with that, paid too much gold though.

[Talkazar]

I squeezed in 7 (all commons). Back of the envelope calculation suggests I'd need about 16,000 more attack (from 56k) to get 8. One the upside, no need to stress when you can expect to kill so few.
