April spoiler?! New set for bomb

[Napoleongl]

Just had a computer gen:ed opponent in the arena. It had (apart from the rare corsair) what looks strangely like a new set for bomb. Couldn’t decipher what it’s bonus was but it apparently did chain attacks.

Bomb also appears to be wearing an upgraded version of the pirates hat?

[Angry Johnny]

@mvnla2 That was an exclusive upgrade from an UK Angry Birds Magazine. It was released about 6 months ago.

[Suikyo]

I believe someone posted this set before.

[JJAtelier]

Seems pretty dope.

It’s about time Bomb received a threatening and viable set for Arena. The Finisher was a poorly conceived nuclear weapon that had potential but seems to not live up its name. Scissors / Sugar Rush were nerfed and the Golden Pistol is just pure junk.

[Pointless]

I seem to remember only the off-hand was shown before, not the whole set. And nerfed as it may be, Scissors is going to take something special to beat, which based on the previous “Arena” sets, is unlikely.
Besides, shouldn’t we see a Matilda set next?

[GrauGeist]

Scissors is not terrible. Hopefully, Bomb’s new set is Chain & Might with a useful Set effect – unlike Finisher with is messed up.

[Napoleongl]

I believe a Mathilda set has already been shown here… And yes we should get that in March, hence the name of this thread…

There is a post in another thread with some broken links to pictures of a new set for Matilda, but not sure these have actual been posted. Interestingly, the same thread that also shows your Bomb set, so why create a new one? @napoleongl

[Napoleongl]

Mostly because I didn’t recall that the bomb set was in that thread as well. Or rather like you said @pointless not that the entire set was shown…
Anyway, I do wish that the arena-breaking hackers could do something useful with their skills and pull the details out for these sets that are apparently already in the game…

@Napoleongl That would be a nice change of pace for them wouldn’t it? Go from black-hat “ooh my score is 101,901 in one hour, GL chumps!” to white-hat “here’s some cool stuff coming down the pike, head’s up chums”.

[KillerKea]

That set you are describing for Bomb and another set for Blues were both posted somewhere in here a while back. The one for Blues had a poker chip and I can’t remember the other item. It supposedly altered the coin flip so that when you lost the toss you still won it. I don’t know what would happen if both players had the set since only computer players were spotted with it.

[Suikyo]

@killerkea I believe the new blue set has a poker chip and dices.

@suikyo
See the topic opened few months ago New Set for The Blues

@881kzdr How did you get Bomb’s and Blues upcoming Set Items in the calendar?

[881kzdr]

1. Uninstall AB Epic;
2. Reset the date and time (compared to the calendar time);
3. Reinstall AB Epic and
4. Claim a daily reward.

Hint: reset the date and time by two days each time…

[Napoleongl]

@881kzdr
I love creative people!
Thanks so much!

[881kzdr]

Example:

Device date and time: 2-3-2016 and 0:00.0
Calendar remaining time: 1:00.0

After uninstalling AB Epic increase the time at least by the remaining time of the Calendar (and the day by one). This will trigger the “watching a video and claiming a daily reward” feature.

[Pointless]

@881kzdr this exploit will now be fixed, as Rovio watches this forum.

Interesting about the new sets, though. Seems like the new Bomb set is an actually playable version of Finisher. Interested in what the % win increase will be on Blue’s new set.

How far “into the future” have you gone? Any other hidden gems?

[881kzdr]

Try the following:

1. Uninstall AB Epic;
2. Reset the date (by one month);
3. Reinstall AB Epic and
4. Claim a daily reward.

Hereafter repeat the following:

1. Uninstall AB Epic;
2. Reset the date by one and the time at least by the remaining time of the Calendar;
3. Reinstall AB Epic and
4. Claim a daily reward

till you get the “Rainbow Riot” mode.

Then quit in 15 minutes and uninstall AB Epic. Reset the date and time to their originals and reinstall AB Epic. This way the “Rainbow Riot” mode is available for at least one month…

This means that the June rewards have not been decided yet hence only Snoutlings are showing up. Thanks @881kzdr for the information.
