How hard is the grind to a Bulgasari? Usually you have to plan on playing about 800 games in 15 days to complete the entire chain task if you average normal kills/beacons per match and 50 percent win rate. |

It isn't impossible, but it will probably take you at least two hours effort per day...and that is having good matches and luck. I earned the top prize during the Halloween event and it was quite a grind. Problem is that the wins can be quite tedious since other players will be dumping matches at the same time or meching out, as they will be beacon capping or chasing kills. You also get a lot of players that hold fire hoping to steal kills rather than play for wins. That already sounds really annoying. Thanks for the reply! The tasks get a lot harder as you approach the good prizes? This is from a previous event (NOT THIS EVENT), but since it has the same number of prizes, we assume it to be fairly accurate for this event. Note that each reward gets tougher than the previous...as is to be expected. By time that you earn the Orkan and start the final three prizes, you are approximately halfway done towards earning the top prize in regards to effort and total tasks completed  |

2nd series is not that much valuable. Storm and hover are not that impressive to be on the last price. 1st series is very good though.

Sooooooo 2 shocktrain???
I just earned one from components and slapped it on my Kumiho to harass enemies for win tasks, now I hear there's two more and suddenly a viable platform for me to put ALL 3?! you can bet I'm gonna grind the first event task chain, but I'm not sure about the 2nd one. But two storms and a hover sound very tempting. I would love another floaty boi so we'll see :3

Going by the War Robots Christmas event guide video found here: There are two seperate event chains this winter. The first started today and will end Dec 22nd. The second presumably starts immediately after the first ends and lasts till Jan 8th. Rewards, as shown in the video, are as follows: Event 1: Magnum Natasha w/ skin Aphid Trebuchet Griffon w/ skin Trident Ancile Carnage w/ skin Orkan Shocktrain Shocktrain Bulgisari Event 2: Magnum Leo w/ skin Aphid Trebuchet Stalker (assuming with skin) Trident Ancile Raijin w/ skin Orkan Storm Storm Hover Bot Good luck everyone, and happy gaming~ Event 1 Task & Reward list  Ugh, I'm having trouble just getting past the first task, imagine how the other win tasks are gonna be for me. I estimate I can get probably only up to griffin, maybe if im lucky I can get the trident after it, but 99% sure I won't make it past griff. Its a shame cause I really wanted that carnage, as I dont have one and I dont wanna use 13k wsp on this if i can get it for free. Maybe on the 22nd I could grind for 1-3 hours (school lets out early for winter break), depends on if the 1st event is there. I've been wondering: do the tasks switch the moment it turns the 22nd or does it switch later in the day? |

Sorry @kayane , I honestly don't know OK, hmmm. Well, do you know any tips for completing the tasks fast other than using cossacks? Maybe kill stealing, idk. I might just run a full cossack hangar so I can cap beacons for a win, also earns decent gold. There is also tanking, but i'd tank when trump admits global warming is real. |

@kayane I'm not in the game atm, but pretty sure it lists the time and time zone the event officially ends. As for quickest ways to complete it, yes, beacon cap and drop is quickest for beacons and kill stealing is quickest for kills. But know that it screwsover those chasing wins, and karma will bite you when it is your time for the win tasks. My recommendation is to modify your hanger based on your task: * If on beacons, have a couple light bots for beacon chasing, then mech-out (do as much damage as you can but play aggresively putting your bots in harms way). That way you help your fellow blues. Then, when all your bots are dead, leave. This isn't tanking, and is much better for your fellow blues than simply capping a single beacon then dropping the match. And note that leaving once your bots are dead will still award task credit; you just wont see it till the match is done. But you will be on your second or third match by then. Every three matches stop and watch vids for free bronze boxes. By time your done with all three vids, your stats will have caught up to you. * If on kills, modify your hanger for max damage (examples: swap out beacon bots and sniper bots for heavy dmg bots such as DB Griffs; remove the ancile from a Lance and throw a thunder or zeus on; etc). Mech out and kill as many bots as possible, then leave just as described above. * Wins: If you are in a clan, try to squad with competant, 5 slot hanger clanmates who will help you with wins. This is far better than solo matches, as solo will inevitably have players dropping the match after grabbing a beacon, or kill stealing. If not in a clan, form a squad with players you encounter in solo matches. Invite some of those same league, max level tankers you come accross  |

Usually you have to plan on playing about 800 games in 15 days to complete the entire chain task if you average normal kills/beacons per match and 50 percent win rate. Just did the math. IDK why I do this XD So according to beaconator2000, you need to play 800 games in 15 days to get the bulgy. This = about 53 games per day (thats a lot, even by grinding standards). Lets say the average game lasts 7 minutes. If you would wanted to grind for a bulgasari it would mean playing almost 6 hours every day for 15 days. IDK bout you, but I would probably need laser eye surgery after that. And this is just the math here, no luck/tankers/perfectly coordinated squads factored in to make it better/worse. Personally, I don't think I would want to do that. I would just stop at the carnage/raijin, maybe go for the orkans. If by some reason I was granted the gift of being able/wanting to play for longer, I would go for only the first shocktrain/storm. Any farther is doing more harm than good IMO, to both your body and your device (i dont mean to sound like Mr. Health Teacher). |

I love how in the video, for the War Robots Royale, it shows him flip 10,000 Hover components on like the 4th or 5th card. . Its possible, my brother got a hover on one of the early spins too locks like they want to promote him atm or just silent the community 「dookie」storm was loud |

and some guys will take 2 beacon and leave the game will start again.. this event is BS they should remove the beacon cap task That's me right there. If you decided to go for finishing, you basically have to do it this way, it's not player's fault. |

Invite some of those same league, max level tankers you come accross Piggy backing off a super tanker definitely helps with the win tasks. Even more so if you manage to get two on the team. But be prepared to say bye bye to gold from those matches. |

I hope I can get past griffin with this *sigh* Btw I dont have much for brawling, I have a 6/6/6 db griff, a 6/6/5 thunder magnum leo, an rdb and a punisher gary for beacon capping. When on tasks for kills do I take out my rdb and replace with punisher griff? I have a 6/5/6 punisher griffin, but I took out a punisher t and a punisher for my gary. Do you recommend switching out my gary entirely, and replace it with like a thunder punisher boa (don't have a 3rd orkan or a taran, working on getting both)? |

If you decided to go for finishing, you basically have to do it this way, it's not player's fault. Lol, I completed the Kumi in the Halloween event without ever dropping a match. It can be done; it is a choice...like any other. Tho you did earn yours quicker than I earned mine |

If you decided to go for finishing, you basically have to do it this way, it's not player's fault. I dont know about you, but I would definitely petition for removing win tasks. Beacons are easy to come by, especially if you run an all light hangar, you can get about 3-6 beacons in one game. More if you and a red decide to share a beacon (you cap, then he caps, then you cap, then he caps, repeats for about a min or 2), once I got 10 beacons in a match because of doing this. BUUTTT I understand your frustation, I've been in matches where people either mech out on purpose and just watch the match, or they, like you said, will cap 2-3 beacons and leave. |

Going by the War Robots Christmas event guide video found here: There are two seperate event chains this winter. The first started today and will end Dec 22nd. The second presumably starts immediately after the first ends and lasts till Jan 8th. Rewards, as shown in the video, are as follows: Event 1: Magnum Natasha w/ Blaze skin Aphid Trebuchet Griffon w/ Emerald skin Trident Ancile Carnage w/ Predator skin Orkan Shocktrain Shocktrain Bulgisari Event 2: Magnum Leo w/ Koi skin Aphid Trebuchet Stalker w/ Sandstorm skin Trident Ancile Raijin w/ Blue Mitsudomoe skin Orkan Storm Storm Hover Bot Event 1 Task & Reward list Good luck, Happy Gaming, and an early Merry Christmas~ Where did you get the task list? some numbers have changed. Last time step 5 of 3 was 13 caps, not 12 Step 1 of 8 was 34 caps not 43 step 3 + 4 of 11 was 73 kills not 46 step 4 of 11 was 65 caps, not 58 |
