Events are side games that can be played to earn rewards for the main game. Two types of events occur regularly each week - 100-hour weekend events and 32-hour mini events. There are also 11-day special "Supreme" events every few months.
General[]
Weekend events are not designed to be completely beaten without spending Gold or real money. However, good strategies and luck can make it to rank 17-18 in a weekend event for free, and spending some gold can achieve rank 19, and spending a lot of gold can beat rank 20. Mini events offer far fewer rewards, but can be beaten with little to no spending.
Reward Structures[]
Event Rewards have a rotation of five reward structures for weekend events, five for mini events, and one for special events. The reward structures have their advantages and disadvantages depending on what rewards players seek and what rank they are aiming to finish in the event.
- For less active/spending runs in weekend events, reward structure 5 (9,600 science for rank 18) is the best, though the others aren't bad either
- For rank 19 runs in weekend events, reward structure 1 (18,000 science for rank 19) is the best, and reward structure 2 (12,000 science for rank 19) is the second best
- For rank 20 runs in weekend events, the reward structures with a at rank 20 (structures 2, 4, and 5) are probably the best
- For mini events, reward structure 4 (4 stone capsules) is the best, while reward structure 5 (no capsules, 5 epic cards at rank 10) is easily the worst. However, unlike weekend events, it is possible to finish for free with good enough activity and RNG.
Spending Guide[]
For most situations, the best use of gold in events is to spend gold on dark science at the start for upgrades. As free-to-play players can only earn a limited amount of gold (around 750 gold per month if they play every event and collect the 2 5-gold ad airdrops each day), players must choose carefully which events to invest their gold in and how much gold in each event in order to maximize the rewards for their gold.
- Mini events are not generally viable spending candidates due to their easy difficulty and low rewards
- Rank 19 in weekend events can usually be beaten with 200 gold, while rank 20 will probably require 400-800+ gold depending on the event and RNG. Due to the high activity, spending, and gambling requirements of rank 20, it is usually best to only aim for rank 19.
- Ninja Union is the hardest of the 8 4-day events, but the rest are all viable for rank 19 runs, so the decision to spend mostly comes down to reward structures (see above) and your availability to play the event.
- However, the occasional 11-day "Supreme" events such as Supreme Santa can be events where you may want to spend up to 800 gold on due to the rewards (in particular rank 28's and rank 29's
20,000 Science).
- Be warned however that not all of these events are worthwhile due to the wide variation in difficulty. Supreme Santa and Spooky State are the best events to spend 800 gold on, while Comrade's Communist Vacation and Glorious Potato Factory may only be worth 200 gold due to their increased difficulty. Supreme Supervillain is easily the worst supreme event, to the point where even 200 gold runs are hardly viable.
