Finally got around to doing an experiment. Checked a gulp n blow, gave me XP 30. Stored all my modern mansions, tried another gulp n blow, gave me XP 26. Put the Modern Mansions back, plus some of the modern mansion accessories, gave me XP 30.
For what it’s worth.
New appstore update. Superhero event 2. Best splashscreen ever, though.
Thanks for the heads up. I’m usually late to new events.
I’m liking this event so far. I just got through with the intro and got to fight some felons. That was pretty cool. The way the fights go it reminds me of the soccer event. Pretty sure it’s the same mechanic.
But man a 41 day event. I’m excited. Tier one prizes look lame except for the new heroes you can get. We’ll see.

With the fights I repeat to myself, “Brown beats Green beats Purple beats Brown.” I do ok with that.
The update has been fun though I keep having to look at the “?” to see what beats what. I’ll have that straightened out in 42 days or so.
The game has been a memory hog for me since the update though. The game gets choppy on me now.
Not sure how much I should be actively healing my guys. Will relying on the passage of time be enough? I’d prefer to save the trading cards, for instance, for things other than bandages.
I made a note
Brain >Tech>Strength>Brain
I just remember
Jocks beat up nerds
Nerds master technology
Jocks don’t understand technology
I don’t use them much, or save them for villains as I still have only two.
By the way, when does the “day” reset for my 3 villain attacks per day? It’s not when everything else resets, so presumably 24 hours starts from the last time I did it?
I haven’t been all that concerned with it. Seems like I always end up with an abundance of essentially worthless currency at the end of these things.
With regard to the fights, I use the color of the little box next to the fighters. Brown beats Green beats Purple beats Brown.
LoL!
I save the energy drinks for the felons as well since I still only have two.
And according to TSOAddicts it is 24 hours from the time you last fought the heroes.
I just got Cyborg Snake and Tungsten Dude, so this sequence is moving along faster than I expected.
I saw an interesting strategy on that site I haven’t tried to implement yet. Basically you get more brass knuckles if you lose as much as possible to the felons in your town prior to winning. You can fight using one 2-heart ‘extra’ character and get 55 brass knuckles each time you lose. You still get the 350 brass knuckles for the win later.
I’m going to have to do some testing tonight.
I missed a couple days so I’m a tiny bit concerned about catching up, but I missed a few days for tapball and I did fine.
I also really don’t like this… so… there’s that.
All I remember is orange beats green and then I figure it out from there like rock, paper, scissors.
This does work. Whatever damage your weak fighter does, though, carries over to the fight against that same group. So I send a jock against 2 techs and a brain, say. The tech demolished the jock, but the little damage the jock does sticks, so the next jock I send may kill the first tech. So the next fight is against 1 tech and 1 brain. So you’re limited in how many times you can deliberately lose. But each loss nets 55 brass knuckles and 10 stones, + bonus reward knuckles( 12 in the case I just did). You still get full points when you can’t avoid winning (350 knuckles and 40 stones, + bonus based on damage dealt)
That’s a great idea. I was always going for the win right away, which is good for my stats but doesn’t create an interesting narrative.
Spider-Man rarely beats his opponents first time out. He loses, then he has to go home, deal with Peter Parker stuff, then come back and beat the opponent in round 2. Classic super hero story arc.
Well I got Ol’ King Coal over the weekend. It told me to keep collecting for bonuts. Yea!.
I think I’m going to fall just short of my second bonuts round and because I took a few days off, I’m not going to get the last friends fighting prize if they don’t fix the math.
Yep. No way I’ll get the social battle prizes unless they change it. I’m 2-3 days off-pace.
I’m happy I got Old King Coal, though. I didn’t think I was going to, but I started employing the losing battle strategy and got him yesterday and one round of bonuts today. I’ll have about 4,000 brass knuckles to start the next stage. And I was barely able to craft all the unique trading card prizes. I have 12 cards after crafting the lucite container a few minutes ago.
