Events are special game modes that occur on a regular basis. A players first two attempts are free, after that the game will require you to use one Event Ticket for every new attempt. This mode is unlocked from the Star Reward system after the player collects 40 stars.
Events can be divided into two categories: weekly and exclusive.
Weekly
Weekly events happen once a week during the weekends, typically lasting 3 days and 6 hours. They cycle through a fixed rotation, and the goal and methods for success vary from each event to another.
Each weekly event has a set of 4 goals, which provide Event points when completed. Completing goals will also increase the difficulty of the event, which increases the level of the enemies.
While the objectives vary, the Event points are fixed for all weekly events:
- 1st Goal - 50 Event points
- 2nd Goal - 70 Event points
- 3rd Goal - 120 Event points
- 4th Goal - 200 Event points
In addition, each weekly event features a leaderboard that awards top players with extra rewards:
- Top 100 players receive 10
blue keys by the end of the event.
- Top 200 players receive 1,500
coins by the end of the event.
- All other participants receive 500
coins by the end of the event.
Currently, there are four events in the weekly rotation. These are:
Event Shop
The shop contents take Event points which can be gained from completing Event tasks and reaching goals. The shop restocks every week when an event becomes available.
