Road to Rank 8 + Snowman Event High Score:3650

Wed Jan 25, 2017 4:50 am

With the event coming to an end in less than a day's time, thought I should share with you guys my journey to the top 10 in the global event ladder as well as the strategy I used to get there(in case there are more of such events; hopefully not). I'm also curious as to what your high score is. Please feel free to share. 

Let me first apologize for the semi-click-bait. The video shows me getting 3600 and not 3650 as I failed to record when I got the former score. However, the strategies applied are the same. 

As can be seen from the video, my team has not changed since my last strategy post on the snowman event. 

viewtopic.php?f=6&t=2612

The way I am utilising the team now is however very different from before. 

Changes made: 
1) I will use a cleansing potion plus healing potions when I feel my units are low

2) I will always attack with my Faye's first unless the unit can already be killed by my Ninjas. 

3) The purpose of all Fayes and Lucille is to ensure that all units are within killing range of the Ninjas. Once they are within killing range, there will be no more attacks done by these units.

4) To determine if the units are within kill range of my Ninjas, I add up their HP and Defense and compare it against my Ninja's attack. I understand this is an inaccurate measure as it does not take into account the 25% chance of back-line reduction damage. However, I figure that the high critical chance of my Ninjas would balance it out. 

5) If the attack is lower than the sum, I will feed an attack potion.

6) My Ninjas are equipped with half defensive and attack runes whilst the rest of the units are equipped with HP(Fayes) and Defense(Lucille) runes

Besides the above playing strategies, I also exchange 75 gems for energy a day(25 for 25 energy and 50 for 60 energy). Apart from that, I just rely on my watermill, guild chest, marketplace, normal regeneration and arena chest. I also semi-auto(since Faye Holy Defender doesn't cast her spell) only when I have too much energy and I still have my event energy left to use for the last few hours. 

I hope this post as well as video will help out any who still wanting to get that last minute rune/equipment or even for future events. Feel free to like and subscribe or leave comments and feedback. Thanks for you time! Looking forward to the next event! KFC  :lol:

Congrats!! I figured that it will be very tough to hit high ranking because the points just difference too much from each other when reaching tier 7. And the time required to keep grinding is very taxing.

Salute you for maintain the grinding. (I have difficulty finding a ally ninja also)

This is really amazing, and crazy at the same time... lol. If you have 250 energy a day (I know it's a little bit more), that's 25 manual runs, each one taking 15 minutes (the video is 17 min), that's a little over 6 hours of manual-ing this grindy event daily.
