Jumping right in... Battle for the Death Star Event

Apologies for just jumping into the fray with the first post, but instead of going into the basics in terms of game mechanics and the like, which will come later, I thought I'd introduce people to the event that's going on right now so that they can hit the ground running trying to earn the rewards available here. In addition, because the event mechanics are a bit different from events in other trading card games, a quick little primer I thought was in order.

The goal in this event is to defeat as many bosses as you can during the event's two-week time frame. You are able to generate bosses to defeat by questing the special event quest.

Questing notes:

When you do the event questing, you will receive an additional EXP point for every quest unit you do (for example, you get 3 EXP for each questing attack that costs 2 Energy Points).

Quest Drops:
100-150 credits
Stormtrooper stacks

At the end of a quest you recieve 1 BP capsule.

Random Quest Items:

Find an Ally - Occasionally you will recieve a note that you can recieve help from an ally on your next boss encounter. Accept the help because there is no cost to you, and it makes your boss attacks more effective.

Battle a Player - Occasionally you will be able to battle a player. These battles are just like normal battles except that they do not cost anything in terms of BP and if you succeed in winning the battle you receive one BP capsule good for use during the event if you win. There is no penalty for losing (i.e. losing stacks of cards or vehicles), so there's really no reason not to take advantage of these battles. Scores are added to your daily and weekly rankings based upon the results of these battles. EDIT: As of 9/12, no scores are provided for wins/losses in quest battles.


Bosses - Occasionally you will spawn a boss. Bosses are generated in two categories: Normal and Hard. Each boss type has its own reward structure.

When you battle bosses, you are given a group of 10 cards which the system automatically generates for you that gives you the biggest attack capabilities. If you have found allies during your questing, they will join you in the fight for a total of 12 possible attackers against the boss.

Certain cards released today receive a bonus upon attacking bosses. This bonus is 3x for the three star cards and 6 x for four star cards. A guaranteed event card is provided upon the purchase of the new 11 card event pack that costs 3000 crystals.

When you attack a boss, the first hit upon generating a boss costs 0 BP. Subsequent attacks against bosses cost 2 BP for a 1x attack strength attack or 5BP for a 3x attack strength attack.

If you are unable to defeat a boss upon your first hit, you have the option to share your bosses with other players. The sharing function is random in terms of the other players you request help from.

You may occasionally have bosses shared with you, just as you can share bosses with others. The same attacking rules apply.  So it's best to hit every boss you see at least once, then watch them to make sure they go down.

If any boss that you attack, whether you generated the boss yourself or you assisted with someone else's boss, is defeated, you receive full credit for the defeat of the boss, earning both a reward of 50AP and credit towards the event rewards.

Strategy points:

Attack your generated bosses once then share immediately. Let others defeat your boss. If no one does with a few minutes left, defeat it yourself.

Event cards:

Your best bet for event cards is to boost individually but do not evolve as there is only approximately a 20% increase in max stats when you perfectlly evolve and enhance.

Hope this helps!
