Team leveling strategy question.  My main team currently consists of 4-five star birds, and 1-four star bird, all at level 80, team strength is just over 20k.  Evolving these birds is going to take an obscene amount of evo materials.  Am I better to bite the bullet and save materials to evolve these birds, or should I work to level up the nu…[Read more]

OK, I do not have any insight on this, as I generally sell or use to level up other birds as soon as I get any of them.  Being that they are primarily one or two star birds, I would not expect much benefit in playing them as a team.

Cheerleader Set?  I only have Core Flock, Ragin Rockers, and Flocksburg Eagles as available sets.

I updated today, and it reset my monthly gift calendar.  Tomorrow’s 30 LC reward sure would have been nice…

You have tried all the things I would suggest.  Only thing remaining would be to open a service ticket with Rovio.

The strength of opponents is driven by how far the player has progressed through the story levels.  I too got to the point where I was unable to complete my scout battles, or progress any further in the storyline.  At that point, I stopped playing all storyline battles, and took advantage of anything I could get to level up my birds.  I even ca…[Read more]

That works within reason, but because the matchups are based on arena points that reset at the beginning of each week, once you reach Champions league, you will be facing teams with much stronger birds, who take a lot more damage than your birds can.

My Level 45 birds can usually beat any team up to level 50, and I have about a 50/50 shot at…[Read more]

The other player may have used stored up berries, or spent gems to increase their number of scouts.  Thus is the fate of the Free to Play player in a Freemium game.

@e5c4p3artist – It definitely was nice to have you leading the way!  I assumed you had a short timer, but at least now I can help contribute to our overall success.

I have always had 60 minute scouts, but something odd occurred this morning.  I used all of my scouts up at 8:00 am, and when I logged on at 9:15 to use the next one, I had all three available.  My counter then said it would be an hour before the next one was again available.  I will see if I get just one.

The evolution of birds is independent of the player level.  Birds level up individually as their powers are combined with those of other birds, then evolved at each 20 level increment with evolution materials.  These things have nothing to do with player level.

I do not think that anyone here knows the answer to your question for sure.  I suspect that they are available as premium egg hatches, but the likelihood of getting ANY five star bird is extremely low, much less one specific five star bird.

Very much agree that arena matchups need to be based on more than just arena points, especially since each week all players in Champions League are reset to the same number of arena points regardless of player’s team level.

Good question, I also see that pig power for normal, hard, and insane battles increases as my team power does.  Is there really any advantage to leveling up birds if it does not help you to win battles more easily?

This would also explain why different players are seeing varying amounts of evolution materials needed to upgrade birds.
