My weekly challenge tips for Cool Explosions Only are as follows:
1. Win a Match. Let me begin by saying that if you join during the middle of a match, you have a possibility of clinching yourself a nice, quick win, which is useful if the only reason you're doing the Weekly Event is to get Rainbow Stars from the challenges. If that is the case, you will most certainly want to earn this challenge quickly. The only characters you can play as in this mode are Attack characters, so you want to aim for vanquishes and teamwork. Get as many vanquishes as possible, and stay with your team when you can to protect the player with the Gnome Bomb and to prevent opponents from defusing it. Use your abilities to stop your opponents from defusing the Gnome Bombs and for vanquish purposes. Remember, spawns are fixed. So the bombs that are placed on your objectives near your spawn can be defused quite easily. But the same goes for opponents so consider that. If you go to place a Gnome Bomb on an objective, move around frequently to reduce your chances of being hit. Try to have allies backing you up as well. The last thing is I suggest using characters that you are more skilled with, and consider what upgrades you want on your characters. You could make a class build for each character for this specific weekly event with some useful upgrades. If you do this, you should increase your chances of winning.
2. Get 20 Vanquishes. As all characters are Attack, you should never have a particularly hard time getting vanquishes. Shared vanquishes count, but not assists. As this is an objective game mode, so abilities that are good against clustered enemies, like Chilli Bean Bomb, Husk Hop, Super Stink Cloud and Rocket Ride are excellent for completing this challenge, as you should get at least some shared vanquishes for it. Staying with your team is good as well, because you are less likely to get vanquished if you have other allies near you helping. Melee characters (Snapdragons, Super Brainz) are good if you get close to the enemy, you are likely to get a vanquish when in close distance to them, and they have lots of health. Other characters are useful in all different situations. Again, try and use characters that you are more familiar with, and if you do, you shouldn't have to wait long to obtain this challenge. Again, make sure to put abilities to good use, when the time arises. If you have Shogun-Guard for Kernel Corn, you can use this upgrade to your advantage as it increases the damage of your primary weapon. One last thing is to focus on vanquishing an enemy with the Gnome Bomb, as they are more defenseless and they cannot use their abilities to fight back, and are most likely just trying to place the Gnome Bomb.
3. Win 3 Matches. My tips are mostly the same as the first challenge tips, but remember that this will take longer as you need 3 wins instead of 1, so be patient and it should not be too long to complete, unless it just is not going your way.
