Assault Battles #2: Forest Moon
Hey everyone, On Monday, July 4, we will be launching the next Assault Battle. These events are aimed at near-max level players (>=75). You may have already played the initial one, "Military Might"...

Hope it's okay for me to post some follow-up observations after running this event for a week (many, MANY times!)
First and foremost, this has been a very generous event. I have obtained copious shards for several characters (EE, ES, CC) that are otherwise difficult and time-consuming to farm. So much so that I stopped farming EE because I was getting close to capping him (and just did so today). Even the gear awards, while the items are the same as the rebel event I seem to be getting more purple and fewer blue and green items. They are sometimes not great but anything that gives stun cuffs is okay in my books! 50k credits isn't a lot, but for those able to do both tiers, they add up over time: around 4M over the course of the week.
It seems like sometime mid-week that T2 got harder. Did you tweak it? :) It might just be RNG or confirmation bias on my part. Either way the difficulty was definitely not too high.
I still enjoyed the game mechanics even after doing it a number of times. I learned over the course of the week how to use the heal mechanism not just for healing but for TM manipulation so I had the right guys available at the right times. My guess is that many of the people who hated this event not only had the wrong teams but also the wrong strategy.
Thank you very much for this event! It is great content and a model for what I hope to see more of in the future.
