How to complete the (Spring) Weekly Challenges for Free-ish!
Marcelaxy
Hi,
currently, thanks to PP-Boosters, you can complete the Spring Weekly Challenge pretty much for free! The Spring Weekly Challenge features a total of 1102 EBs and 1102 Carrots (equivalent of 1653 Carrots) and requires 20.000 Hits (2000 Energy bars or less) to complete.
60k PP / 3 PP per Hit = 20.000 Hits needed
That's a completed Weekly Challenge, a lot of rank points, XP, a shiny medal and a lot of foodhealth during the week at the cost of a few hundred EBs.
What do you need?:
An Epic
5x Accelerators
PP-Boosters
Energy Bars (double or tripple bars are even better, try to avoid carrots)
Optional:
100% Booster (or 50% Booster)
Q7 Weapons
How:
First, if you have any Carrots, get rid of them. Hit them all preferredly in an Epic.
When that's done, consume Energy bars to fill your Energy.
To optimize this, don't use your foodhealth and set all food on sale (for a price high enough no one will buy it) before using the Energy Bars. Then remove the food offers to return it in your Storage.
Then it's quite easy: Activate a 5*ACL, a PP-Booster and hit & recover as fast as possible. Then, before activating a new PP-Booster or 5*ACL, fill your Energy.
Also, make sure to not waste Level-ups by having next to 0 energy when levelng up.
Don't collect Carrots from the Weekly Challenge before you are done.

Pro Tip: Some browsers will support this (I can confirm Opera and Chrome).
On the battle Page, click the fight button with your mouse, then hold the ENTER key on your keybord. This will spam the fight button and you'll fight as fast as the game allows (1 fight per second). The same can be done with the recover-button.
______
Optionally, you can use Damage Boosters and/or Weapons to farm Rank Points in the Process. Those will lower your Hits per Kill, though, and you'll need more PP-Boosters and 5*ACLs. In both cases, try to use an epic of your CS country.
You won't need 2000 EBs to do the Weekly Challenge, though. If you have a rather large Health Pool of 4000, you get 400 Hits back per Level-UP.
This means that you'll need only:
4.6/5*2000 EBs = 1842 EBs to do the Weekly Challenge. But that's not all.
If you're slightly active, you only have to do 45.000 rank points (more or less, depending on your activity) on a Tuesday to get to 60k PP by the end of the Weekly Challenge.
This saves you another 25% of Energy Bars.
(This week, though, you'll need to be closer to the 60k since the week is almost over.)
So you'll need only 1842 * 0.75 = 1381.5 Energy Bars to complete the weekly challenge next week.
You'll get 1102 EBs from the WC, so you'll end up paying only about 280 EBs for 1102 Carrots (=551 EBs), max. Energy Recovery for a week and a completed weekly challenge.
You may be able to lower the initial EB cost more by hitting your food fights in Epics throughout the week. Also you can lower the initial cost even more by using the Carrots you gained throughout the week (e.g. going for BHs or in Epics).
The PP-Boosters will be valid until day 4195, so if you collect enough during the #Springbreak Event, you'll be able to pull that off up to 3 more times during normal weekly challenges. Only until 40k PP though and you'll have a lot of Carrots at the beginning of the first week.
This time, with a PP-Booster, it will require about 27k PPs instead of 45k on Tuesday and there won't be any Carrots to win.
You'll spend about 27/40 * 1381.5 = 829 EBs (less in the first week when using up your Carrots) to gain 702 Back (a cost of 127 EBs) for a week of full enrergy recovery and potential high XP&Rank Point(and BH/SH-Gold) gain.

Does your calculations include all your packs? 😛
No, I tried to gol a middle way, I have 5285 max. health, some other people will have less, hence 4000.
2820 max here.. even with all houses on mission impossible..
Btw. Also i think ithey should remove thoose idiotic missions + weekly challenge. Haz no sense anyways. Game should return to her roits = strategy, planning, colaboration, fun..
Isn't this strategy, planning and collaboration(epics)?
Also we normal players have no big stacks of accelerators, boosters and bars.. 😛
With a bit of strategy and planning, you could have all the stuff needed readily available...
Not without packs. But like i said many times: makes no sense plus i want give s dime anymore to them. Not direct and also not indirect. They stopped listening to us years ago..
Ok. Must go now. Dog is waiting.. 😛
HladenSpricar, in my opinion the only important thing here is the PP booster. I can't afford hitting with weapons when there's such a free tanking event but this has the advantage that it cuts back on the time you need to deal the hits. I burn energy way faster. I do use the 50% booster but without it it would go even faster. I had 2 PP boosters (10 minutes) and with 6 minutes worth of x2 accelerators (2gold) I gained something between 6 and 7 thousands PP (I used carrots and normal bars). The problem is that Plato gave me only 2 PP boosters out of 13 tries and since I don't have an MP to gather tokens from all divisions I will probably not make it past the finish line this week. Especially if the goal is 60k PP (is it though? for sure?). It would be interesting to know how many PP boosters Marcel used.
thanks.. 🙂
good article 🙂
This just Marcel plying in great style!!!
Well done

no rewards after 40k?
Yes, starting 30.April there won't be any rewards after 40k.This and next week until 60k, though.
Using *9 accelerator is better than *5
How could help us the damage booster? May be we need to fight with Q1 weapons instead of high quality with booster activated.
The point is to rank up, so using q1 weapons is kinda self defeating ...
Well, instead of Q1 weapons, you could use no weapons instead. Q1 weapons give less damage/cc than Q7 anyways.
The point is earning max PP for the time of prestige booster duration. For a single kill with low quality weapon you will get many PP and you will save time which is important here.
Choosing no weapons fight will reduce your PP according to the new game mechanic.
Nice to know.
>FEW HUNDRED EB SHARE THE WELATH. REBRAND MARCEL THE GREAT AS MARCEL THE GENEROUS!
Great article,

good info thanks.
That calculation is done with ranking up and getting those health for ranking up, right?
Yes, so it doesn't fully apply to IK users. For tose, it's going to cost 8,7% more in Energy Bars than my calculation.
Thank you, good sir for that answer! Should I best be buying those triple-ebar boxes and than just fight in eUS epic battles, right? Fight for 20k or more? What's the most sufficient? I might missed u answering that question already. Sorry in that case.
Well, depends. This week is extremely cheap for Energy Bar spending. That's a good opportunity to increase your Military Rank.
I would go for 45k using Epics + PP-Booster and reach the 60k during the week with foodfights.
the time spend for klick EB much drain time for PP, can you give me some advise to reduce it??
As I heard, using the eRepublik App to use EBs is faster.
thanks Marcel, let's try it
