Lord of Hunger Event Reavealed

So what's reavealed now? Only thing thats reavealed is Nihilus been added to the game. Where have they said what kind of even it will be?

What about a GW format with more nods, giving shards only ?
Say, 33 nods, each giving 10 shards.

Power would go from 90 to 123 % from max power (+1% each step) but with a fixed set of toons.

I am wondering is it

A. Event Like Yoda Palp
B. Event like Krennic & Deathtrooper
C. Event like K2-SO as in 7* Unlock
D. Tournament

Please God, anything but D. Anything but awful, horrible D. So it'll probably be D. :(

We usually get D. I've had enough D for one lifetime...
I don't even like D.

LOL

They talked about that in this same thread.

Maybe it'll be like the palp even where you take them down with their enemy, but we already did Jedi, so we can have it be droids as his force drain doesn't work on synthetic beings

Since everybody is really hyped about him it will be a shitty way to unlock him....so prepare for tournaments.....

I can't give details yet but I can say this is NOT a tournament. I guess the teaser wasn't clear enough :P

Will it be a K-2SO type event but Apple only? Android could get him in the shard shop. I think that's fair.

Hoping its k2 format but exclusive for iOS this time, just to even things out.

Im thinking along the same lines of this. However unlike GW you cannot use the same toon for more then one battle (unless you refreash with either crystals or ally points). You cannot preload TM, so its more straight up battles. Also for rewards they could do it point style like Tournaments, however just know that you need x points to get a certain reward tier. You can limit it to 10-20-30 or whatever number of battles so you need to do well not just win to get the full 7*. It would be a mix between GW and Tourneys and since people know where they have to get there will not be as much complaining.

Whatever it ends up being I think they will either
A) Make it hard to cheat
B ) Make it easier for them to identify cheaters
