TWO 80k Weekly Challenges FOR FREE + FREE Boomerang Aircraft Skin

Day 5,824, 04:49 • Published in USA USA • by Marcelaxy

Hi there,

this week and quite possibly the next one, you can do most of this weekly challenge for free or even make a profit while doing so.
Until 80k, there is a whole lot of good stuff and then a whole lot of nothing until 100k. Also possibly rank points, protector damage and TP money on the way.

80k is what we want to hit.


What do you need?

- A big Energy pool, the bigger the better (except IK users)
- A few hundred Energy bars for tuesday
- PP Boosters
- 5x Accelerators
- Activity throughout the week

Optional: Weapons, Shadow Fighters, various Boosters

How is it possible to go that far for free?

3 things.

- Level ups (except for IK users)
- Deployment loot
- Weekly Challenge rewards


Level-Ups give you back a percentage of Energy spent, usuially ranging from 1k-6k depending on how much cc you spend on houses and money you spend on packs.
I will focus on returns of 0, 2.5k and 5k going forward as those numbers are reasonable and easy to calculate with.

The Weekly Challenge is the same for everyone. This week includes, among other things, 1402 EBs and 520 pumpkins, which are half-EBs. So basically 1662 EBs in total.

Deployment loot gives you pumpkins based on the deployment size. It's random but there is a trend. Smaller deploys seem to be better and it all revolves around a 20-25% return rate.

My results, take them with a grain of salt were:


15k deploy:~17.5% return rate
5k deploy: ~20-25% return rate // 25% with sample size 5
1k deploy: 23.5% return rate (sample size 8 )
130 deploy: 35% return rate (sample size 21)

What do you have to do?

Easy, find an epic, activate a PP-Booster and a 5x Accelerator and hit there. You have to do this with 20-30 minutes duration.

If you need to conserve PP-boosters, without weapons it's faster. If you fight in the air or on the ground and stuff like TP-damage, rank points or protector damage doesn't bother you, that is an option. Not using boosters also increases your hit per kill, which is proportional to your hit per second.


I would recommend deploys of 5000 Energy each. That seems to be the sweet spot if you also want to hit fast.

Hit until you reach 60k-65k PP. The rest of the way to 80k can be easily done with food fights and the Daily Challenge. Also the Pumpkins from the deployment loots throughout the week if necessary. If you're sacrificing Gold from medals and TP-money to use your food fights in epics, which will be plenty, you can go even lower.


How is it free or even profitable

The level-ups return about 10% of your Energy spent.
The Deployment loots return about 22.5% of your Energy spent.
The Weekly Challenge returns 1662 Energy bars equivalent

In an epic, with PP-booster, going until 60k costs 2000 Energy bars. The lvl-ups and loots make it about 32.5% cheaper, so the cost of getting there is 1350 Energy bars. So a profit of 312 Energy bars.


The worst case is an IK user with low activity. You will have to reach 65k in the opening epic and will only receive 22.5% back from deployment loots. The cost is 1680 Energy Bars. That's almost a break-even with a loss of 18 Energy bars.

A different bad case is, a half-decent user with 2.5k return for level-ups but no PP-boosters at all. Their base cost for the weekly challenge is 3000 Energy Bars. However, they can do the smallest possible deployments in epics and get return rates of up to 35%, plus 5% from level-ups reducing the cost to 1800 Energy Bars. That's a loss of only 138 Energy Bars for the whole week, nevermind other goodies they receive.
Like a Boomerang-themed aircraft skin. Like Energy bars spent this week, this skin will return to you when you toss it away.

A little more insight on the small deployments


The hits per kill are based on a number of factors. The weapon used, your stats, boosters used (ghost boosters do lower HPK iirc), your opponent on the batlefield. So, you want to use Q7 wepaons on the ground (or bazookas...), a 100% booster or at least a 50% one and a ghost booster if possible. Also avoid battles where anomalies occur (e.g. in recent events I had the last kill going from 1-3 to over 7, rendering my deploy below 100).

Then use the lowest deploy size you can get away with never to end up actually deploying below 100 Energy. For me, with Q7 weapons and a 100% booster it was 130.

The spread of deployment loot is massive. In my test run, I got a drought of 4 deploys costing 470 energy with no pumpkins but also 4 pumpkins for 130 Energy.
21 deploys in total, giving me 17 pumpkins for 2430 Energy.


That's basically it. 2 weeks of massive farming for everyone. I wish Plato would do these disruptive events more often. They keep the game exciting and entertaining. They truly disrupt the usual stagnation.

By the way, if you wonder about the name and icon of my newspaper... it's for a political party I thought of starting. Never actually went through with it, because the game is usually just so boring apart from good events like this one. So keep it coming, Plato 🙂
