@mighty-red-1

I used your strategy.  Thanks.  I lost Chuck at about 200,000 health.  Was able to finish off the main boss.  Then lost the other three birds.  Spent the 10 lc to revive, finished the last two that spawned off with a rage chili.  Also got a 2 Star.  Good enough for me.

 

Set items on Red, Grand Slam.  Main boss was stunned the majority of the time.  Only spawned 2 or 3 times with additional enemies.  (Good luck!)

Princess Nightmare.  Chuck Lightning.  Bomb, Naval Gun.

 

Maxed E10 set items from 90, a few ancients.  Maxed mastery at old level.

[Coach MP]

Thanks all for responding and posting a screen shot!  It’s cool to see that others were getting this benefit as well.

Anytime you get all of the rewards instead of just one at random is definitely a time to be happy!  Have a great day!

[Coach MP]

Simple question, please.  Does Matilda’s perfect balance only benefit her attacks (increase in rage fill by 50%)?  Or does it apply to your total bird team and all of their rage chili generation?  Thanks in advance!

[Coach MP]

I don’t have last will for my chuck, “GoodChuck.”  But the team I just faced and lost to rather quickly did have Last Will for “BadChuck.”  Let’s just say, it works perfectly fine for the other team!  Which is no help to you (us) as normal players vs the MAN (Rovio.)

[Coach MP]

Epic uses 5.08 GB on my phone.  That does seem to be A LOT of space!!!

[Coach MP]

“awwww those lovable rascals at Chimera can’t even begin to do the most minimal beta testing of their game”  Funny, I have that same feeling, quite often.  Never knew quite how to put it into words.

[Coach MP]

What phone/operating system on it, are you using?  They may have stopped supporting old versions.  Something to look into?

[Coach MP]

A lot of people were posting that picture on the facebook post.  Not sure man.  Mine is working.  But, epic does have a proven track record of being VERY unstable.  btw, nice screen shot with added info!  Sorry for your challenge.

Oh and Just in case you’re still missing out, my board currently:  1st 55,600, 2nd 30,750, 3rd 30,125… me 16th 18,775…  I didn’t think I missed too many opportunities to play the event.  I guess I need to stop sleeping and start purchasing INSANE amounts of stamina if I want a chance!

[Coach MP]

For a point of reference Rusty, my bird stats:

Elite Rainbird: Power 1052, attack 3765, health 8875, mastery 83, set item twin lighting level 82 enchanted to 10 offhand item ancient Vitality Enchanted to 10.

Elite Paladin: Power 1002, attack 1766, health 11421, master 76, set item Dragon Breathe level 82 E9, E7.

Elite Spies: Power 1080, attack 4195, health 7363, mastery 78, set item Beep attack level 82 E9, E7.

What level are your birds?

[Coach MP]

Hey Rusty, I’ve been in that same spot.  My story (probably different than yours) was, I had uninstalled epic for a while, then reinstalled it.  When I came back there had been a few updates and my “old-powerful” birds were now less that strong.  It took some time to get them back up to speed, but with some hard work you can make it.

I would suggest, grinding snoutlings from mouthpool, i like to use chuck’s wizzard and Bomb’s cannooneer with the gold gun set items for increased snoutling output.  Use these snoutlings to purchase potions.  2 rage chilis per wave for your attacks should help out alot!

What are your strongest and favorite birds/classes?  As Seb said, I do like Paladin and Rain Bird, but I’ve been using Spies a whole bunch this event.  My favorite birds are Chuck (rainbird/wizzard) and Blues (trickster, rouge, spies.)

 

With time and lots of cash (BAD IDEA!) you can get those birds back up to a reasonable level!

[Coach MP]

@winkwink I was super let down by this realization.  I have a few of the new head gear and understand that they: sacrifice a 10% buff to health or attack in exchange for a random ability and nifty look.  I agree with you, that’s a poor trade off that is not worth it.

Then I realized that this is it.  All new head gear to be introduced will be down 10% + a random ability/nifty look…   I was under the impression that we would be able to win new headgear that would be elite, elites!  Which would offer a 20% buff of both attack and health.  But, I don’t think this is the direction the game is going.

For instance, I have Paladin’s elite class and his pumpkin one.  The last opening is for his Christmas headgear.  No elite/elite good stuff…  Not excited about that!

[Coach MP]

Also, if I may post a second question: Please help me with arena items.  When you make a roll on your gpm in the arena you receive an item.  It’s level is based on your current level.  I have some old Level 72 pieces, lots of 82s, and a few new 92s.  As such the levels increase so does the strength.  I just rolled a Level 92 Valiant Tapestry, 18288 (pumped about that one!)  So it’s stronger than my old VT level 82.

Here’s my question: do “Set Item’s” strength change depending on what league you’re in when you roll them?  Which leads to my second, it does seem that my emblems change and are more powerful when rolled with 3 stars and in a higher league.  So, do they also change, again depending on what League you’re in?  Same ? for Mythics?   Thanks in advance!

[Coach MP]

Thanks for sharing your results.  I use all of the caves you’ve mentioned. 9-5, 13-5, 17-5.  9-5 is my standard go too.  Wonder around for a change of pace.  For snouts I just equip bomb’s cannonneer (pistol/snout set) and Chuck’s Wiz (twin lighting.)  Hit auto play and let them do all the work.  My KPC also, is the lower level and only yeilds 30ish mastery, not worth it…

[Coach MP]

I feel silly, but what set item is Matilda’s “Enduring Chant?”  I’ve snooped around alot in game and online and can’t find it anywhere.  Please help me out, thanks!

I have: Nature’s Blessing (E6,4) and Nightmare (E8,7)  I have lots of the other set items too, but no Enduring Chant…

[Coach MP]

@p2win

I’ve always thought that Rovio had/has a hand in setting and raising those scores whenever they feel like it.  Meaning that it’s a conspiracy, your just racing against an unbeatable machine…

That or I’m crazy and there are people out there who don’t have jobs but somehow figure out a way to support an expensive gaming addiction with INSANE amounts of time and LOTS of cash!

[Coach MP]

My experience has been that experience potions only work with your experience level and do not affect mastery.  The best way use those is in the caves.  If you feel confident that you have the correct bird team selected are going to beat the cave for the first time, then use the experience potion once.  Earn xp points will be double and you’ll level up quickly.  Then any new weapons from the golden pig will be highest possible value.

[Coach MP]

Another new thing I’ve noticed…  I think they removed the feature where we would make a free roll on our friends Golden Pig, this in turn would fill up their bar, nicely.  (i think that’s what it said in game.)  But now that that roll has been removed, your rainbow bar won’t fill as quickly through out the week/month.

On average I’d get 5-6 rolls on my bar a day.  Filling it every few weeks.  But if that’s been removed, then we won’t see this anymore?

I fear that I’m correct.  =sigh=

[Coach MP]

@toolow

I noticed that the gp was missing as well.  I may be another upgrade! ;)

 

[Coach MP]

This made me laugh!!!  Thanks for the chuckle guys.

And @winkwink I still have a slow (although slightly faster) load time and random freezes too.  I guess we’ll have to wait for the next update.

[Coach MP]

@maxxmatt thanks for reassuring me that it wasn’t just my phone and game.  and thanks for the type on the two classes that can be autoplayed, I’ll have to try them.

What castle are you playing to boost mastery?  Thanks in advance!

[Coach MP]

@suzyq

Thanks for checking on me Suzy.  I was feeling jealous when I heard that your game was quickly (pun intended) fixed.  My has not changed.  I’m at about a solid minute for load time of world map.  The opening music usually dies out and then the map finishes loading.  On the positive side, it give me a chance to go get a drink or snack!

I did submit another request to support, mentioning the two biggest current bugs: load time and auto play.  And so we will wait (another pun) and see…

[Coach MP]

Also, I’ve noticed that auto play doesn’t work for me anymore.  Get’s stuck on mouthpool after a few waves.  Cannoneer and wizard.  Anybody else notice this new update perk?

[Coach MP]

@dahnlor Bingo!  The load time for the map is insanely long!  And purchases at the dojo, also super slow, as if the Rovio system is bogged down by too many players…?

I contacted support and they sent:

“Please accept our sincere apologies for this issue. We have tweaked the game progress on your account ________ and the loading times should decrease significantly. Additionally, you could try to reinstall the game to free some data on your internal memory.

It didn’t help.

 

-And you are correct again in the Avenger glitch and who would even use him?

[Coach MP]

@poptimus

I know this is probably mentioned somewhere else, but since we’re on the subject, could you please tell me how to get/receive a Mythic Emblem?  I’m assuming those are the ones with the simmering finish to them.  Opposed to all the normal non-mythic ones I have.  Thanks in advance!

[Coach MP]

Yes, new update has been less than an update.  A few things that I’ve noticed it’s brought with it.

-Before a battle you used to be able to check your birds mastery points by holding on their level number.  You can no longer do that.

-The auto play still freezes.

-Between levels on the map it takes 20-30 seconds for my phone to load.  I know it’s the game and not my phone because in the caves, they quickly get done and reload the map.

-Kraken doesn’t show the repairing and heart bar everytime.  Which i think is just a glitch.

-When visiting a friends camp to do a free roll, their statue in the back has been removed.  I used to enjoy tapping on it to see how many total mastery levels they had reached.  That’s not an option anymore.

-Also, now on my bird camp, I can no longer tap on my statue to see how many total mastery levels I’ve obtained.  (or I’m doing it wrong…)  It just shows a Class Collection Overview, to remind you that you’re no where near being finished.
