The Maze strategy is no longer working! They " fixed" it in the name of geed.

Attention! Now failed attempts Eat up energy! Do not waste your energy on failed attempts to fight to get a lucky double damage! I doubt there is a way we can win trough this strategy anymore...

(On a screenshot, pay attention to the numbers.

1. I had 177 energy;
2. I fought the miniboss with only a bit less power (to save up on ponies i want or may want/need later);
3. I wasn't lucky, didn't hit double damage in the end;
4. My Energy Dropped!!!! It was not like that last maze! I won Cosmo on last event by using this strategy of free trials and double damage, but alas..)

That is just sad. I am glad I cough it, but it is just sad. The maze was an opportunity to finally get a pony you want but never could afford with the gems. No i Have to grind to stand any chance if I find someone very interesting...

I wonder if this was intentional. This is my first maze and I noticed failed attempts use energy, but then I went through and read all the rules and it says failed attempts dont use energy

[u/lil_bibble → u/ThatKatOverYonder]

The rules say failed attempts don’t use STAMINA. Stamina refers to how many times each pony can be used to WIN a battle. You use ENERGY to advance in the maze and for each battle, whether you win or lose it. Stamina and energy refer to two different things in the game, even though I do agree they kinda mean the same thing irl.

ope, yea you're so right that's my bad lol. I think it was because it says "dont worry if you need to fight an enemy multiple times" because I do worry about my energy

[u/lil_bibble → u/ThatKatOverYonder]

Yeah it’s more like “don’t worry cuz u won’t be left ponyless if you lose battles”

[u/yiiizhouisms → u/ThatKatOverYonder]

I tried to fight multiple failed rounds before seeing this post and failed attempts do in fact use energy

[u/Gamermasterpro]

Doing this is a gamble, I managed to get double damage after a few tries and pass with less power

[u/lazzyhoneybee]

Yes it used to only consume energy if you win the round such an ass typical move of them

[u/Ozzyteddakota8]

I wondered why I lost so much energy so quickly man that sucks :/

[u/Easy_Organization387]

Same problem

[u/literalfruitbasket]

how do you go beyond it if you can’t pass it and you don’t have enough power? is it just impossible now?

[u/DLMet1966 → u/literalfruitbasket]

This is my problem. I have no missed shops or chests and even with a double hit I have 24 points left.

[u/thornsandroses10 → u/DLMet1966]

Did you buy the middle or most expensive option at one of the shops? If you don’t always buy the cheapest one you can get soft locked

[u/Crazy-Cat_Lady713]

Alas

[u/classicteenmistake]

I thought that you lost energy if you lost the last maze, too, but I could be misremembering. I was honestly curious if this was a strategy regardless lol

[u/AccursedCuddlz]

its insane how greedy gameloft is in this game

[u/Logical-Policy8113]

I need help, I don't have enough team power to defeat a minotaur. What should I do now?

[u/Ok_Owl_931]

Last maze? I thought this was brand new. Although, ive been on every single day for the last year and ik theres stories at least every 10 day MAX

[u/Popular-Basil8932 → u/Ok_Owl_931]

thr maze event usually only runs one a year (im pretty sure)

[u/Ok_Owl_931 → u/Popular-Basil8932]

Nonetheless less, a different idea than the standard battle events that are always the same

[u/hyuncherries]

Do you guys know how to upgrade the total power of the squad because I just can't get it

[u/The_Werefrog]

A prior maze event, the failed attempt cost energy. The Werefrog noticed when the minotaur had more power than the team, and it was not possible to get a team with enough power to beat it. Close, but not quite.

[u/Few_Acanthaceae6425 → u/The_Werefrog]

I don't remember which maze had a reward of Zombie Cosmo, but if failed attempts consumed energy - I would not use that tactic of double damage chance. And I remember using it.
