Top Fighter Medal

Day 3,219, 03:59 • Published in Slovakia Hungary • by Swoosh.

I had like 13 of 30 in my Top Fighter count.
I calculated that I need ~80 Energy Bars for one day, and when I had enough gold, I was buying those double EB-s for 27 gold. Doing the math, it looked like it will cost 1 mil CC, to get the TF medal. Buying Pack for CC seemed a lot cheaper.

I bought them with CC ! That is important for me. Blitzkrieg and Power Packs (one for the 2000 house, and one for the fast refill)
It is really nice, to have them, I can see why a few people buy them, if they like this game.
It is not expensive for 10 - 15 euros. That is not a lot of money, if you have a salary.
I just didn’t want to pay money for this game, because of all the red text (“Dead citizen”) If I ever get bored of this, that money would seem like thrown away.

So life with packs is really nice. You start the week with 30 refill per 6 minutes, and because of your 2000 house you get back to 40 right when you get to 500 Prestige Points.

With my strength / military skill, I can make (500 million +) in one day, without energy bars, if I prepare for it - if I get to daychange on full.

Initially I monitorized all the last places for TF. For months! I made stats about which day is the cheapest (Monday, and the second place is Wednesday) and what does it take to get there. (millions of damage) But when I saw how the packs work, I threw out my stats, and had basically 3 TF tries per week: Wednesday, Friday and Sunday.
Why these? Because:
Monday - is for refill (to get to 500 PP asap)
Tuesday - the TF lower limit is very high
Thursday and Saturday will refill too. That’s it.

I didn’t even risk, not to get to TF, so I blew ~30 Energy Bars too on those days (less than that if I got a level up for example)
I did get in the TF list every time I tried.(550 mil - 800 mil) Used 50% boosters, ghost boosters and accelerators too.
76th place was the worst and 23rd place was my best during pack season.
I checked this list to verify where I am: https://www.erepublik-deutschland.de/en/tools/topfighters
I know it is not perfect, but if some epic battle would’ve come (it didn’t) then maybe I would have stop trying that day)

What did I do in those days? Opened the day with 2 BH tries (around 100 mil), and keep going. Usually just before daychange, I had my 6th BH try. I never really checked back, if someone is taking over my BH or not. I only cared about the daily count of millions of damage. The 5 g from BH was only to try to bring my Pack price back. Still, I think I made 90% of my BH-s, with me being usually offline at the end.
I think it didn’t bring back, only half of the invested price. But, compared to the 1 mil CC that I estimated for EB-s without Pack, it is still only a quarter of the price.

During this pack season I had 130 BH-s (I started off with 9😎 and a ~10-15 CH-s (some of them totally unexpected, with 100 mil damage). Yes, I had (a lot) more BH-s during this 7 weeks, that I had before in ~5 years.

I will most likely never buy packs again. It was nice, but … au revoir.
I will most likely not get in the TF list again, based on what I usually did before having packs.

Why did I write this down? Well people with TF medals will probably get bored reading this, but maybe somebody who wants to get the TF medal, will find something useful in here. Maybe.

And after all this “work”, I managed to get the most expensive one, the TF medal, which looks like this:
(yes, they managed to mess this up too, for me 😃 )
