Using just flash bangs, I've fully upgraded both the Royal Guard and Mindbender, and I've got a two-star Pythona. I expect to have Falcon before bed.

I'll keep trying to complete Pythona with flash bangs. I get two cracks at her every time I finish lethal level 20' and I keep earning points hand over fist. If I don't get her all the way there, so be it. Pretty sure I'll have a four-star Falcon when it's over.

Double post fail.

You can get one Falcon card as one of the point level rewards, but I don't have the game in front of me right now and don't remember what the exact point threshold is. All other Falcon cards are obtained via your final ranking for the event. I should still be in the 70s for my ranking, and if I can stay below 121, I should get six more Falcon cards. You can check the actual point rewards and ranking rewards by clicking on the Event button on the toolbar and then on Details.

1.2 million points for 1 x 1* Falcon card. If you got that and ranked at least 401-1000 you'd be able to take the 3 x 1* Falcons from that ranking and make 1x 4**** star Falcon with vehicle attack unlocked.

However, the event ends tomorrow and there is always a big push by players in the last two days. So unless you're dumping cash into it, you'll either stay where your at or fall back some spots. Be sure to manually accept your Allies points under the event button while playing through the levels.

Still going strong on the event - as of a few minutes ago, I was still ranked 56. I've had a pretty good run of luck with getting the bosses via flashbangs, and I even got the opportunity to capture four Hector Ramirez cards at one time for 32,000 points (though I ponied up for a stun grenade for that one). As long as I can keep from dropping 60-ish spots before midnight, I should get six of the Falcon cards as rewards so I can make a seven-card version.

There was an update for the app in the App Store last night. So far, the new features seem to be duds. The Recruit page is now a rotating circular list that can be swiped as opposed to the list of blocks. I like that I don't have to scroll to the bottom to access my Silver and Bronze recruits ... but the new look is just mega-confusing IMO. They also changed the PvP selection screen so that the player's title badge is now listed instead of the title name itself. I really don't understand that change, as I can't imagine most people know what title each badge represents and I doubt any players actually requested that the title text be removed.

There is one additional PvP feature on the Battle menu called Revenge. When I click it, it just shows me a popup with the title "History" and no actual data on it. Based on the name, I assume it lists players against which I have lost in PvP and maybe provides rematch options. However, I have yet to lose since updating my app, so I can't confirm that yet.

That's a heck of an illustration of Pythona. It'd look really great on a toy package...

I finally lost a PvP match, but still nothing on that popup aside from the History title. Maybe it was accidentally enabled too early?

"Bee-Eye" is having better luck this go-round than this ol' One-Eye.

While I've maxed out all the bosses and captured a few Hectors using only Flashbangs, my successful capture rate overall is pretty low. And that's amid what seem like fewer opportunities in general than during past events.

Between that and my inability to play as much as i have during past events, I can't seem to hold onto a rank better than. The low 400s.

I guess I'll at least get a 4-star Falcon at that rate.

Spin, I should have been a better Ally to you. I took pity on some guy that requested me as an event ally ... and of course, he's my smallest contributor by far. I won't make that mistake again!

I realized at some point after I got half way through Veteran that I really don't care all that much and have only played it passively today. I haven't gotten anything from event allies after the first day or two.

My current event allies haven't been spectacular, either. In fact there's one I don't think has played since the first day.

I ended up at 77, more than good enough for my six reward Falcons and six Gold tokens. I was expecting the competition to be a little tougher in the last few hours in terms of rankings, but that really didn't happen. I actually probably stopped even bothering with capturing enemy units with 45 minutes left. I think I ended up with 9 3-star Mindbenders and 13-14 Pythonas. If I had known the competition would be so lax, I would have spent more time on a level where I could get a Royal Guard, but I only wanted some for my Gallery and probably won't actually use any of the boss cards.

One of my Gold tokens also gave me the 1-star Zartan I wanted, so once I get it leveled up I can get an even stronger Zartan than the one I currently have. I'm already using both my 4-star and 3-star Zartan in my Cobra PvP squad, but this will improve it by giving him better defense and yet another full squad vehicle attack.

I'm also up to 300 ammo reloads, so hopefully I'm better prepared for the next Take Down event.

How much are you playing? I got to 7400 in rank. or is it by your level im only lvl 59

I play quite a bit, especially during events. Unfortunately, with the way the events are set up, it's difficult to get a high ranking without doing that. Sometimes, you also need money, and in the case of the Battle Simulator events, good Event Allies.

well Im only able to play a few times a day due to work or lack of power to move forward.
