Island Challenge: ABSURD!!!

So I loved the idea of this challenge and I thought it was really fun and fair for everyone. I knew the drafts would be better for some people than others and I was okay with that. I started the moment the challenge started and was in the top 100 for a long time. Then suddenly when I got to 282 I noticed a profound and absolutely ridiculous change in the toughness of my opponents. Their 2-star non-crit ALL attacks are doing more than my 6-star ALL attacks. My legendaries are getting one shot by 3-star crit attacks but my 5-star crit attacks can’t even take half of a 3-stars health? What the heII is this? I’ve tried over 15 times now and it’s seems literally impossible to beat it. I can not beat 287. I find this sudden increase difficulty absolutely ridiculous. I’m beyond angry right now.

Developers, you have any explanation for this? Or is a bug? Because my stun-bomb/timestrike combo doesn’t do as much damage anymore, it barely even takes half of their health, but when I get stunned then time striked it’s practically a KO unless they have hold ground. I REALLY don’t appreciate this. Especially so close to the 300 reward.

Oh no, imagine having to adjust your play style to defeat higher difficulties. End of the day, these higher levels are supposed to be more difficult so there’s more achievement for those that make it to 300. Yeah they are artificially stronger perhaps, but it’s very deliberate

It’s not even about adjusting. It’s not possible. I’ve tried making a sleep team. A stun team. I’ve tried using all my best monsters. I’ve tried using hold grounders and then healers. I have 4 pages of monsters to make teams with. The opponents are too strong. Like impossibly strong. I’m fully aware of how a difficulty curve works but this is a stand still. I feel like my game is messed up or its a bug. They do too much damage. I’ve lost battles and has zero kills. It’s not just their attack its their defense too.

yes, the stats are changed to make it harder. And yes, it is actually possible, I’ve gotten to 345. my strategy is to knock back the stun absorbers, then set off 3 stun bombers, and use a mega bomber and a bloodcraver to sweep them up, plus ninjastorm in case of emergencies. You can view my and everyone else’s lineups for guidance.

I am a new player - just around for 2 weeks. At first I picked a poison team and manage to be in top 5 at around 180. Then I face the same issue as the OP. Then I shifted to sleep stun but not much progress. Then I just played the gamble with death roulette and got lucky to reach 220. I thought no way I could get up to 300 until the last 2 draft I got rexo and another legend that have 30% chance to revive death teammates. A few rounds of lucky win and I got 300.

Tldr, this event is a combine of both luck and strategy. It is like open an egg and some got legendaries while some got only epics. It is fun event though and I would love to see the return of a similar event in the future.

Lvl 290, almost their and the event ends… 囧

I’ve achieved lv 325 in that event.
Without many problems… It was a challenge, nothing more and nothing less :blush:

I must of just been getting bad drafts. Or picking wrong. But I also found out something from a friend of mine that plays this. If you don’t draft your new monsters when the draft timer goes off it goes into stasis. The timer doesn’t start back up until you draft. So next time for all of you who posted if you didn’t know you can get more drafts if you draft right when the timer gets to zero. Good luck :slight_smile:

you just saying that maybe you receive good monsters from draft… 

Actually, drafts stack. If you miss 2 drafts, when you come back you’ll get 6 monsters instead of 3.

Man, in the last one i didn’t even hit lv220.
Yes, pick a good leggendary and u’ll be fine… OR, have a shitty leggendary and go doom, like i did.

GIVE TURN ALL is so unfair with this game!!! This game sucks and proves you can only win if you spend tons of money for Legendary monsters.  I have four Legendary that just don’t compare to new Legendary monsters.  Moves that destroy front lines or “GIVE TURN ALL” is ABSURD!

It’s obvious what the game developers are doing.  Make new Legendary monsters that just absurdly obliterate old Legendary monsters.  That way you have to BUY, BUY, BUY diamonds to even compete.  Because of front line obliterating and give turn all moves, I am done playing this joke of a game!

Life is about choices…u can always don’t buy buy buy…><"

This is funny^

I’m top 20 pvp and I have spent no money on the game.

As a player for over 2 years, I agree that money is not a necessity. Sure, a player who just started and spent thousands of dollars may have more legendary monsters than you, but that’s not the point. It is ALWAYS possible for a team of perfectly planned epics to beat a team of thrown together legendaries. Sure, it’s frustrating to not have as many options without spending money, but I can consistently get 2-3 eggs a week, and I eventually caught up. Just be glad money can only buy monsters, and not levels or materials, or this game would be a lot less fun. Instead of complaining about the advantages money spenders have, spend that time crafting a perfect team or two. I adopted that mindset, and now I have a team that cost no money that’s as good as a 2k dollar team. Trust me, the creators aren’t that cruel, they just want an income to improve their game so players like us can have more fun. (P.S. The Godfeather, one of the original monsters back from Dragon Island, is still one of best monsters in the game. Let’s see if whatever that new moon monster was can take on an isolated Godfeather XP)
