Star Wars Event Part 2

The Star Wars event has been going on for a bit over a month and the second event started now so here is some information about the events and all of the Star Wars Tsum Tsums. 

They show up at random

So to start off is the Star Destroyers the main goal of this part of the event and I hope you've been practicing against the Storm Troopers in the last part as its the entire event.

Up to three can show up at once

They get in the way and fill up the screen which can cause some headaches and may force you to use the fan. I've found using random clear tsums work best but none of the Star Wars characters do that so you won't get the bonus damage if you do this. You can also help your friends and I would recommend it if you have lots of friends. The first advantage to this is you will deal more damage if you assist in a fight and you can get capsules.

See that big grey ball?

These capsules are how you can finish C-3PO's Skill even if you didn't finish the last event as he will randomly come from the capsules along with power tickets and coins. So now onto the tsums and of course who to start with then....

The Main Character

Obviously I'm going to start with Luke Skywalker his skill clears tsums in an cross X fashion which can clear quite a bit even at low skill level.

Coming in hot

Look at him go!

And the finish

leveling his skill increases the size of the cross, his base score is 180 with a max of 1160 which is pretty decent it also take drawing Luke 32 times to max out his skill...that's gonna take a while. He is really useful for this event as there really isn't any blind spots in the skill allowing for him to easily clear the Storm Troopers. Next on our list is the Daddy of all villains....

Was that a spoiler?

Darth Vader is quite unique as his skill clears where you trace on the screen.

Look at that menacingness cute huh?

The red is where I traced

This means he has no problems clearing out his own men.... kinda messed up if you think too much about that. He has a base score of 100 and a maximum of 1276 he takes a whopping 36 redraws to max his skill... His skill is again interesting as it levels as it both increases the size of the swipes and decreases the required amount of Vader tsums needed to activate the skill, also on a side note he also kinda stops time I haven't tested if he counts as a timestop tsum but the timer definitely stops when you use his skill, and another note he doesn't build another skill during the skill if that makes sense so when you use the skill if you see a big Vader tsum try not to slash it so you can use it to rebuild the skill. That got long we should move onto something shorter...

See what I did there?

Yoda doesn't have the stature but he's quite gutsy his skill is probably one of the best time stop skills in the game but it requires a lengthy charge time but all of the chains you make count as one giant chain which makes him a really good money maker. Though I wouldn't recommend him for the event since he can't chain the Storm Troopers together or at least I haven't tried.... yep literally just confirmed it doesn't work ha...ha.. moving on!!

His calm before he starts kicking butt

You're already dead

His base score is 270 with a max of 1250 his skill takes 35 redraws I'm starting to see a lot of high numbers here... as his skill levels up it reduces the amount of tsums required to charge his skill from 25-20. So now lets move onto somebody around the same size...

He's kinda the same size but he's got heart

Its R2-D2 his skill clears tsums in three electricity arcs. Which is pretty great for clearing Storm Troopers.

Like so...you see that capsule there?

He's also one of the few tsums that kinda talks in beeps.

Gotta love the beeps

His base score is 90 kinda low with a max of 972 that's kind of low but it only takes 15 tsums to charge the skill which isn't too bad but his skill also only takes 29 redraws to finish his skill which is the first on this list to be below 30 which is nice. his skill increases the size of the arcs and while we are talking about droids...

The newest character currently available

BB-8 the droid people went nuts over is also the first character from the new trilogy available. His skill clears a large chunk from the bottom rows.

Just rolling along

And clearing out the competition

He's pretty good at clearing Storm Troopers though they have to be at the bottom of the screen...obviously he also only requires 14 BB-8's for full charge. His base score is 888 hah see what they did there he also gains score at a rate of 2... for a max of....986.... well then... though just like R2 only requires 29 redraws for max skill which increases the size of the skill. So now lets talk about another droid...

The golden god

C-3PO the first event tsum from this event is quite good actually clearing a horizontal line through the middle of the screen but not a line more like a chunk or road through the middle kinda like Max. But unlike max's 11 charge it takes C-3PO 15.

He may be the tsum your using...

But we all know who does all the work

This makes him pretty good for the event but unfortunately he doesn't get the character bonus so that sucks... his base score is a solid 400 with a maximum of 988. He also only requires 9 redraws to max his skill which is quite nice which increases the size of the skill. Now last but definitely not least...

Who needs a man?

Princess Leia. While she doesn't get the character bonus like C-3PO she is probably one of the best Storm Trooper clearers her skill has her shooting a few times and clearing random spots and as you continue the event she gets better and better.

Aren't those buns great?

Smells like victory

Her base score is 400 with a max of 1037 and once you complete the event you'll have finished her skill so try your best. And with that we are done with all of the Star Wars tsums for now it's unfortunate we didn't get Kylo or Rei...or the musical tsums for Luke or Vader (Come on Disney) but we might get this stuff later on down the road so keep on destroying those destroyers and next week I'll talk about what I think are some of the best money makers in the game. And where the heck is Han!?

Star Wars event tips

So as you may know the Star Wars event has been going for a little while now and I was brought on to give some helpful information and tricks to make reaching the goal that much easier.

So to start if you managed to get your hands on a Star Wars tsum you are in luck they generally make the missions easier to complete but sometimes they won't be enough and you might be forced to reset so here are some good tips for some of the mission types. Oh and once you get C-3P0 or Leia they don't count for the character bonus so there's that.

Big tsum: This may be the most annoying mission type at least for me. tsums that are dedicated to creating big tsums are extremely recommended and none of the Star Wars tsums have that ability regardless if you happen to have Sully, Alice, or Baymax you won't have much trouble with these missions but if you don't, anything past clearing 3 or 4 big tsums is not likely.

Magical Bubbles: These missions aren't too bad as most tsums should give you at least one bubble to pop per special but there are tsums that can help such as Marie or Miss Bunny. But if you don't have them using specials that clear more than 7 tsums will give you a bubble with few exceptions (Vader). Now if you need specific bubble types like time, Exp, coin, or score bubbles it gets a bit more complicated. If you make a strict 7 chain you will ONLY make normal bubbles but go past that and you have a chance at making a time bubble the exact numbers for the special types are: normal 7-13, Time 9-16, Exp 11-18, coin 13-20, and score 15-21+. So with that said if you use tsums that clear numbers between what I stated you have a chance at getting that bubble the only guaranteed special bubble is a score bubble so long as you make a chain of 21 or higher.

Skills: Using skills x amount of times can be frustrating but did you notice that every tsum charges at different rates? YES, yes they do, its a balancing mechanic that can make or break a tsum. So for example Mickey takes 14 Mickey tsums to charge whereas Donald takes 12. There are also specials that once leveled up take less to charge such as Yoda, Vader, Pete, Pinocchio, and Sven although they may not see any other kind of bonus such as an increase in how many tsum they clear. But if you are having a difficult time with these missions Thumper is the best tsum for this his special charges after you clear 6 Thumpers.

Fever: Entering fever can be a problem especially when you need to do it 8 to 9 times this can be alleviated if you have a Star Wars tsum somewhat but not everyone has them so here's a tip if you use your special during fever you won't build the next one so if your goal is to enter fever as many times as possible save the special until you leave fever and then use it and immediately reenter fever.

And last but not least the storm troopers they are odd they only occur randomly so not everyone will encounter them often but they really don't do anything aside from give you money based on how many you cleared, the amount can range from 100 to 3000 should you clear them all which is surprisingly hard and can be risky should you use power-ups ESPECIALLY once the discount goes away. So don't spend more to 1500 as its not really worth it. The best tsums to use are tsums that clear x amount of tsums randomly rather than clearing the center or on a line as it gets really hard to clear them should they reach the bottom of the screen so tsums like Mater and Nick are very useful for the storm troopers.

I hoped some of this information helped I'll be posting about various random tsums going over what they could be used for and how they compare to each other. See you next time.
