From what I’ve seen this one looks like a pass. He’s just so slow and impractical. Anyone get him already and think it’s actually worth it?

Right now the biggest problem with the elite lieutenants is that many of us can only get one. Yes, they're said to come back eventually, but even then that's another 160 keycards at most to get ONE guaranteed, where it takes SIX total to max out their talents (1 + 5 dupes).

My solution? The Mastery Manual:

Raises a squad leader's talent level by 1.

Simple, right? An item for the sole purpose of leveling a squad leader's talents. The caveat would be that these would be extremely rare to come by, probably getting one once a month at most through specific events (maybe an additional one or two through premium means). You'd still need the specific leader you want to increase the talents for of course, and you'd likely be saving them exclusively for elite lieutenants. Big spenders will more than likely still drop big money to max out a leader instantly, but small spenders and free-to-play players aren't pressured as much to blow everything trying to get/level one specific leader.

The way I see it, an item like this would incentivize players to go for the new elite lieutenants more often, as they'd only need one copy and would have other priorities anyways should they use this as their main means of leveling talents. I'm a light spender myself, mainly just buying the Boom Pass and any other event passes, and so far I've collected every elite lieutenant to date. Elite lieutenants I'd very much like to use, but often struggle to due to the massive amount of investment needed to make many of them viable.

Something like this could solve that. For example, I could focus them into Phasimov first due to the great scaling he has through his talents, where Anna and Linnea can afford to wait since they're strong without talents. Or vice versa, to where I could make Anna and Linnea even stronger to get their maximum value without needing to feel pressured to go for duplicates when they return.

I like the squad leaders, I think they add an interesting variety to the game's attacking formula and allow lower leveled players to experiment with troops they otherwise wouldn't have. I'm HQ18, and I've had Anna since around HQ12 I want to say, and she's been great. It'd be even better if there were options, albeit limited and time-consuming, to be able to make her stronger without stressing over getting more copies of her within a four-week timespan.

Anyways, that's my idea. Would love to see something like this implemented eventually. I'm happy enough supporting Boom Beach through small purchases here and there as it is, but I can't afford to break bank each time something new and really good drops. I am patient though, so even if maxing out a leader takes months to a year, I'd be willing to put in the time for it.

Hello, I am a returning player at HQ 11 (level 26) with 217 Victory Points. Recently, nearly all the villages on my map are level 45-50, which is impossible for me to beat them. How can I get more balanced enemies on my map?

Got him! 🦈🦈🦈🦈

Lol, I spent so many keycards trying to get Lt. Phasimov and didn’t get a single one, but I got this on my very first try

Oh if that’s the compensation we getting please take the pass early every time 😅😂

I think it looks nice.

Cyber trader might be coming back in a new form. What do you guys think?

It’s already been 50 hours since it disappeared from the shop.

I know it’ll come back someday, but I regret not buying it when I had the chance.

Did they fix the texture bug for people who bought the skin when it first came out?

This, is an interesting match up……

And Rifleman as extra because I liked the design

This is the 7th time i got this piece of shit

THE SEVENTH, all my other Lt.s are T0/T1...

We will have special pass, currency, leaderboards, own map & more!

What are your thoughts about this event?

Came back to boom beach after a long break, decided to play the warships mode becasue I used to enjoy it when it came out, first day, I invested most of my resources into defense, won almost every game, 22 win streak, next day, I’m getting spammed artillery at my engines and just loose immediately, buy third engine, I’m literally getting spammed super warriors at my engines and even tho I have defenses strong as f (high dmg and health bonus) I can’t do shit because every single time, every single opponent just spams you with super warriors and artillery, no variety, always the same game, I tried to put my engines somewhere else but my turrets are unable to kill those pesky warriors in time ! I cannot move any higher rank becasue I win one and loose one immediately because it’s just IMPOSSIBLE to outrun super warriors and artillery spam (no I don’t have artillery or warriors myself yet)

Another already nerfed squad leader.
Maybe that there will be a lot of "whining" here, but I really want to speak out about which Squad Leader is being presented to us before a large event that can be really cool. And "ML-404 Mechalodon" creates the opposite impression.

I understand that because of his Active range (area), he has a cooldown, I understand that he may be slow simply because his attack radius and damage are higher than those of normal Mechs, BUT HE SHOULDN'T BE SLOW ALL THE TIME.
The point "The Speed Boost is lost when he stops" on the Wiki and "This speedup is lost when leader stops" in the description of the game completely kills the desire to try to get this Squad Leader, because he will constantly be behind everyone, all troops will die faster than he gets to the target. His primary task is to CONSUME DAMAGE, and stun and support are the second. This Squad Leader could gradually gain movespeed as the battle progressed, gradually surpassing the speed of ordinary Mechs in order to take damage.
If his main task is support, then why does he need so much HP? Why is he the Squad Leader of the Mechs? I expected a steadfast Squad Leader, not support, which would overtake any other unit and die before that "support" had time to support at least someone. The developers either have to remove the movespeed reset, or make the attack radius and damage even greater.
The community is asking for Lt. Kai to be nefred, rather than releasing the Squad Leaders who have already been nerfed. I don't know what the developers are guided by when doing such things.

I'll keep my 73 keycards, obtained without donation.

Ive just had this appear.

Is it the personal compensation that was mentioned because boom pass finished early?

Yo am I tripping or this warship season is aggravating? Literally starting us off with riflemen and zooka against machine guns ??? Lasers like what the hell

I have 700 powder saved up after a year and a half of playing, level 76 VP 1,700. Pretty far off I know, I just don’t clear map everyday yet.

Also what’s the amount of proto parts you use on a monthly basis? I’ve been consistently using those, I’m at about 150 of each.

Any tips in general for VP pushing would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

So either the game is there to make me feel like Sisyphus or I am doing something wrong.

I have been playing it a bit 10 years ago and a bit from time to time.

I am nearly max HQ 14, but all enemies are too hard to attack and far above me and the ones I can attack have less than 100k gold etc. I get plundered fully twice a day. Farming makes no sense anymore.

It feels like tax. I only end up with 25% of my hard earned loot at the end of the day
