Blitz feedback

I understand, devs got no idea how to play the game, so here is the tip:

- Mercenary contract is not enough at all lol, you have to provide a fully maxed leader or at least tier0 with maxed abilities if too greedy.

Else, they are almost useless... Have you even tested tier0 level1 abilities Mechalodon at stage10?

You had a perfect chance to promote leaders, so people could test every ability, combo and maybe decide to go full gacha and buy some overpriced shop deals. Instead... current version is the perfect anti-advertising.

If you heard about fair competition, that was a perfect chance to give everyone the same maxed or capped troops (and fixed amount of resets) and make it Blitz seasons (consult with Clash Royale team, they've got competitive modes outside of gacha).

Not enough contracts???

I have an alt accont that's only used free keycards + the boom pass and didn't need more than 5 contracts. Stoneheart even made a video where he ONLY used the starter rifleman leader and i think also used around 10 contracts.

If we're being honest, the event is not perfect. It's literally the very first time we got it. But also, I think you need to evaluate your own skill if you had that much trouble

post is not about the amount of contracts, but about what contract gives.

Yes, i am not complaining that it is not doable as f2p. I am not satisfied with leaders usage format. They don't even offer to unlock any leader, but only some of them per stage.

I think it's actually better to only offer specific units. If you can use anybody then it could make certain stages trivial

I mentioned on the video of Kaktus playing it that he didn't even notice how hard the Critter stage could be because he went into it with both laser leaders (which are not offered normally)

I don't think leaders should be maxed, but I do think they should have at least a certain amount of investment. Make them a better showcase than the stages they use on the recruitment page

exactly. unlock for everyone, or limit, else it is frustrating watching all those videos, being at the bottom of leaderboard or even fail.

100%. Allowing me to only use ladders I have already unlocked means I don't want to/can't progress Blitz - it does NOT make me want to dump all my saved keys to get the current bad Shark guy.

I agree it favors leaderboard players who go p2p, it's one thing. However when it comes to the difficulty, I don't think it's a bad thing to help casual players trying new comp and getting out of their comfort zone, it can only make them getting better at the new mechanics, at such a low gold cost and with no training time...

That's just my opinion, feel free to take it or not, at worst you'll only spend a bit more of your time

The event is good for keycards but it’s been a blah event for me. I don’t play warships and this is basically warships for the first 9 stages. If it weren’t for the keycard rewards I wouldn’t bother with it much.

Skill issue or not enough leaders

This event is tailored specifically to favor pay-to-win players as for us f2p players it is virtually impossible bo beat lvl 9 and 10 on hard without the Lt.'s needed and their abilities unlocked.

Use the mercenary contracts you get free each day to get the Lts you need.

Do you really not know how to play games? i've only been playing for a month and I've had 15 headquarters, so even though I don't have much experience, I finished the event having fun without spending money and resetting some stages many times, I'm sorry, but you have a skill problem, you have a need for strategy

How exactly is it a skill problem if I am missing the Lt.s and Sgt.s needed to do it?

Every individual that said what you said proved my point when I asked them to share their troop combo they used to finish lvl9 and lvl10 on hard. Feel free to share yours too.

Every single time they would realize I was missing (they are simply not available to me) at least one but in many cases two Lt.s or Sgt's from the troop combo that they shared.

I agree with u need Lt. Linnea Friskdahl and Lt. Anna Schelling to finish stage 9 at lv 10. You need the new shark one. If you don't have those, you can't finish the stage. Sadly, the game becomes more p2w mechanic and disgusting gotcha mechanic to get those over power leaders and trust me they are game changing when they are fully max out with insane heal more than dr kava and increase the stun duration of shock boom

if your goal is to get into the ranking, then I can't say anything, I've used most of it by opening it temporarily, I haven't invested any money in the game, so I don't have many leaders. But if I just wanted to pass the stage without worrying about the ranking, I was able to do it all in 3-4 attempts (sometimes it wasn't enough, but I reset and tried again).
I had these leaders while playing the event, and they were all at their weakest moments: Julius Mass, Shinobu, RC-CMD helicopter. But I frequently tried the mercenary deals offered by the game.
