Mine did an update at 7pm central. Logged back in but I'm still getting nothing harder than lvl5 arcee, sometimes a lvl4 arcee, but mostly 5.
Has anyone seen chromia or elita yet?

monuo_ripts wrote:Esclavo
That is true if you want to advance QUICKLY.
I'll be honest and say have patience, if your iOS and just got dropped right in the middle of everyone that was high rank and can't compete in this episode, just do your best and win what you can. Only use 1 cube to help others because you get the full pts for the enemy. Spread those cubes out across many enemies in hopes to get a bunch of space bridge medals. The silver medals for some reason are dropping rare 3 cards at a higher rate than the gold cards (at least in mine and joesaysso's experience)
When the first episode happened in December, I only had r3 ratchet and r3 chromia complete and I was not doing good at all.
By the end of the event, I had 2 R4 cards and a handful of R3 including a complete optimus and shockwave. I didn't have many cards to lvl them up with so that was a long trek to get them up but it does take time.
I've only spent $20 on this game, if I could do it over, I wouldn't have spent it at all because it really didn't get me much further. I did it because I wanted to win R4 snarl really bad, but by the end of the episode, I had spare cubes left over, so I really didn't need to spend the money anyways.
That's my opinion, take it for what its worth.

I agree that would be the general consensus and I would agree longterm, yes, that would be best. But has anybody crunched the numbers? Remember, an episode isn't longterm. Its very short term. You have to do as much damage in the short term as you can.
Here's a simplified example: lets say, hypothetically, Episode Thundercracker is the 5X card for this episode. According to the Legends Wikia, TC's max attack, non-scanned, is 11,331 and his max attack scanned is 20,396.
Using those numbers, lets say you have 2 bot and 2 alt mode TCs, all at level 65. If max attack is 11,331, multiplied by the X5 attack bonus, mulitplied by 4 individual cards, you get a total attack of 226,620.
Now if you scan those cards: max attack 20,396, multiplied by the X5 attack bonus, multiplied by 2 scanned cards, your total is 203,960.
Simple math says that scanning may not be the best in the short term. At least this is my line of thought. I don't claim to be a mathematician though and I could be missing some factors. If anybody has any insight regarding the matter, I'd love the input.
Luscanun wrote:I'll start this with the caveat that I just started playing the game yesterday. However, despite my inexperience with the game, it seems to me that you're missing something in your considerations. For the sake of argument, I'll assume your math is correct above (not necessarily the formulas, but just the calculations). If you take your 4 TC cards (two bot, two alt mode) for a total attack of 226K, you're using 4 cards, with an attack value of 56,500 per card. If you scan them and get 204K, you're using 2 cards, with an attack value of 102K per card. You've also got two other card slots to fill, and again with an assumption, that would likely exceed the gap you've then created. It seems that if you've got cards that are maxed, you should be able to fill in the gap and exceed the 226K you would have had with the 4 TCs.
Again, new player, not sure about the math behind it all, but 102 is obviously greater than 56 and if you've got some comparable cards (save 10K value), then you could exceed your 4 TC scenario. Maybe it depends on the values in your deck...? If your maximum value for any 4 cards is less than 226K, I'd stick with the four TCs.
Obviously, if I'm looking at this completely backwards, let me know. Trying to figure out some of the intricacies of the game.

diseptikon wrote:Oh and I turned in 8000+ silver medals for 1 rank 4 Prowl and 1 rank 4 Bumblebee....which I think are the lowest rank 4's in the game.
joesaysso wrote:Being that you are so high in the ranks, you have that luxary. The last time I did that, it derailed my whole episode. I was thinking the same thing as you but I'm nervous that will hurt me in the long run. Regardless of where my rank ends up, its imperative that I accumulate enough points to earn a Flamewar weapon card.
joesaysso wrote:Thats a good draw. I'm glad somebody has had some luck with the draws. Hopefully 4s start dropping with the gold medals.

paul053 wrote:Just a question. Do my battle cubes and silver/gold episode medals stay after this event is over and then accumulate and can use again when next event comes out?
joesaysso wrote:I am going to transcan my cards to experiment. Let it be known that prior to the transcan my deck power with the recommended setting is 8182.
