It was around 13k for Hard 10 during Covert Ops. However that quickly became a COMPLETE lie after 2-3 days of "tuning".

 

Ha ha ha, 13K to 16K in the span of one episode. You can't add 2000 in deck power even if you finish Tier 1 and add a huge T5 card to your deck -- not the defensively-minded Mirage for example. So, finally Mobage tips their hand. Here is an ironclad example of boss creep that not only outpaces those who finish in Tiers 3 or Tiers 2 but also Tier 1.

So, we have two options, both of which we've already adopted. Either Mobage is full of shit about the deck power and it matters not; or they've jacked up the health and defense of the mobs and bosses to such an extent that we're all effectively fighting with 1/2 MTM cards (aka glass cannons) and the campaign event, instead of being the resource gathering kind of thing we were all hoping for (as well as a time to take a breath and take stock of our resources), has turned into a resource hog.

 

Thanks everyone for posting all the stats/pix of the evolve cards!
From the look of things, bridges give the best cards. Might spend some money then!

 

Yes, so last campaign I was able to 3 cube Soundwave with less DP. He had IIRC 135 Mill HP. 25 Million more equals 3 cubes according to Mobage.

 

Hard figures.

10-1 =15,800
10-2 =16,000
10-3 =16,400

 

Went through Hard Lvl10 another few times with a higher DP. Can now 1 cube all minion boss fights and almost 100% win rate. Except the weird IronHide here and there.

Takes 5 energon recharges to complete entire Hard Lvl10 each time.
The recommended max DP is 16400.. It's just recommended and the minion bosses will whoop ass often.
IMO.. This is probably a deterrent for those trying to go through higher levels multiple times without losing BC and racking up points.

 

at 13K dp i did hard stage 5, i won about 60% of the minion fights and 4 cubed hotspot. i used a chain on him and went from like rank 2800 to 1300 lol

 

I'm trying my best to play using my hourly ECs. Campaigns and Raids are now a huge EC sink such that you'll always be using much more than you're getting. I'm saving all my ECs for Raids, which I need to get a T5 card. Campaigns are relatively time independent, and more dependent on how many chains you're willing to use. If I just use hourly ECs, I should be able to reach Hard 10 in a few days.

 

Anyone got a completed hotspot yet? I want to know what maxed evo4 stats are..... if they are the stats on the wiki.... not a dime.... if he compares to soundwave, maybe 9$ to get 1.75 of him....

 

Soundwave is higher both in Attack and Defense. Only Hotspot is higher in Health.The stats in the Wiki is correct.. Actually Hotspot is useless outside of the campaign. I can name a dozen T4's that can squash him stat wise.

 

A sound strategy.. Be wary of the minions in Hard07-10. They whoop ass for those with less than 18K DP and it'll cost you BC's. Hard10 Hotspot has 160m HP. Not too hard to deal with.

 

Should be okay for me. My deck is already 18k+ without Hotspot. By the time I reach Hard 5 or 6, I should be able to get one MTM Hotspot, bumping my deck to 19k or so

 

I think you were meant to say Soundwave is higher in Attack and Health. MEM Hotspot has massive defense of 9001.

Or are you talking about after you equip them with their weapon? I'm not sure what their stats are like then.

 

Ooops! You are right... Hotspot's weapon has good attack, just to balance him out a little.

 

Mobage posted an interview with TFL Art Director, Steve Abeyta. Seems like his fav pieces of TFL art are Ultra Rare Nemesis Prime, Super Rare Bumblebee, Ultra Rare Jazz.

 

Who doesn't love Nemesis Prime's Gatling gun smokestacks?

The art for that was beautiful.

The beautiful artwork in this game is the only real reason I keep playing it and put some money into it.

 

So blade stats (exclude weapon) is higher attacking power than Hotspot.

 

Wish they had a fan question event to ask him despite his talent why reward cards are less detailed and not often as nice as the bridge bought cards. Even though the answer is known.

 

few pages back.

 

Apparently whatever issues Mobagey had with my credit card is now resolved, since I just accidentally bought some cyber cash or whatever it's called. At least I now get to complete my Dirge and end my futile hunt for gold/silver medals.

I'll spend my remaining credits on a future event, but besides that, I think this is the last time I ever give them a dime, lol.
