I think it wasnt there before. I also got my reward just for collecting Succuby.

Just checked a random high lap pool time, 4h in the last node.
Okay, I can see that this race will be frustating as the last race.

I guess so if you are going for the top prizes. Just aiming for lap 15 this time.

Amazing. I only need to pick up Succuby. I knew getting Dark Ash Over Arid In Wasteland Island was going to end well. (I’m on Lap 2 Node 5 because my hatchery was jammed. I’m quite foolish in these cases)

Lol hence why I did not try for Dark Sky orbs, to avoid jamming my hatchery. I am on 5.5.

Annoying that they've boosted the gem costs for accelerating fights (already 4/hr on lap 5). If the later laps have multi-hour wait times as previously, it'll get REALLY expensive to do any of those nodes in less than a full day.

The increased rewards from the spin are nice though, skipped the entire 4 hour wait time at 4/5 with mine. Before you kind of had to assume it'd only be +1, now it's reasonable to try for more.

Now I’m qualified. I spent my 30 gems on my hatchery so I can hatch 3 eggs.

It may be me, but with terra/ terra breeding and hatching you seem to need to do more than previously in races. All spins only 1 so far. On lap 7. Node 5

Im not able to complete the "collect food 5 times" mission...inspite of collecting it multiple times through farms
..please help

For me it works the same as in previous races. Hatching and breeding always took many attempts.

@nishant-bhatta Just grow 30 second food again and again until you get the points. Make sure that there is no pool with waiting time for the node you want to finish.

Yeah, Terras and 30-second food have always taken perseverance. I haven't noticed a real difference from prior races, where they both averaged on the order of 10%.

I'm really feeling the boost in fight speedup costs. Those nodes are now major roadblocks rather than manageable gem sinks. Only the final fight is worth speeding up now IMO (costs 3). Generally my benchmark is that 1 gem to save 1 hour is good, 2 gems to save 1 hour I need a good reason, 3 gems per hour is only acceptable at high lap counts, more than that I don't do. Fight speedups are now in the "don't do" category, which ends up adding a LOT of hours.

I have noticed no differences, on lap 8 now.

@scott-clark I had real luck on my last 2 sets of fights, used free spin and first time ever got complete mission, then next set of fights decided to try 20 gem spin, wouldn't normally do that but raised 1000 gems from freebie island last week and spin gave me 5 items, what luck. Still think terra and terra is taking longer. Lap 11 now

@scott-clark

It's almost always cheaper to just "buyout" once the long last fight is the only thing left to do, I've found.

That's naughty, bought spin and then seen free spin reset to 24 hours,only had 8 hours left..... very wrong SP

Thats unfair.

I am happy with this, I performed badly on that race.

Agreed! using about the same benchmarks; main goal is always to reach Lap 15...if I can stay in Top 3 from there, figure it’s an overall “win” for me

@_thespacebeing_ ... nice grab on High Malicious! Well done!!

Good job, I snatched up Realm. I lost some time today due to sickness so I am only on Lap 11.3.

I've never tried to respins, I'd rather use those gems to pay to finish the node.

That moment when you're kind of a new player, so you've only played the high super race (and won) ... and it is the high super orbs you get. Would've been a tad bit happier with everything else haha!

Lap 8 node 3 Had 3 fights left - total of 5 hours wait time. Used free spin & finished node. One of the few times I've been so lucky.

Yeah, that's pretty much always been true. But it used to also be a big help to knock an hour off of each intermediate fight cooldown. I'm on lap 12 now, and it's already up to 6 gems/hour. Which is just crazy talk.

Hope everyone is doing okay! Don't let the gem costs get you down!

Neck and neck race rn.
Lap 9 Node 2.

Got 15 Realm Orbs on Lap 7.

I made my primary goal with only a few gem speedups for those last fights. Now just slowly going to see if I can make it to lap 20 for those Heroic Joker orbs. This race I received Superstition orbs on lap 7, Realm orbs on lap 10 and Feral orbs on lap 12.

Currently slow-playing 14/5 so that lap 15 doesn't start in the middle of the day and make me lose out on the bonus tokens. Will start 15 tomorrow, think I should be readily able to hit 20.

I do find it rather un-fun to be spending the vast majority of my "racing" time simply waiting on repetitive fight cooldowns. Still not a good design.

I agree, though I must say I am very impressed with the free spins, I've gotten much more than 1 item.

I received Zephyr orbs on lap 7, Feral on lap 10 and Super orbs on lap 12. I personally don't like they putting all possible H. dragon as orb reward, it seems harder to get/empower now with so many options.
In addition, the amount of tokens was seriously reduced, there is no more vip dragons on higher laps and, of course, battle requirements are insane.
The good thing is they included a vip dragon as reward to 1st and 2nd place, I didn't expect this "generosity".

@nishant-bhatta im having the same issue with all of them. Some I get credit for them it just stops even though I am still doing what is needed!!!

On lap 12 node 4. Second place is on lap 9. Have used 32 gems. No one in my group seems to be willing to use a lot of gems to get ahead. I have used mine to buy out the last fights & an occasional breed. Right now I have 3 fights left on this node & a free spin ready to go.

By the way, in lap 16, where you get at least 100 of every token, how much more do you get if completed within the time limit?

200

WTG you have hit 15 already

Currently at 13/5 ... back and forth on laps with one other for the lead; two behind us on 12 ... goal remains staying in top 3; spending gems to buy out last fight and some Quests as needed ... thankful for freebies and Jewelem to help with that need

got to lap 15 yesterday...so we have to wait till the race finish to get the heroic?

Yes, as with all races the heroic is not rewarded until the race ends, all other rewards are instantaneous.

@nynaevelan oh ok i see......playing after years...didnt know that heroics were introduced so this is my first heroic.....missed a lot apparently

Read the links in the first post, they give some good info and tips.

@nynaevelan yeah i saw them that is why i crossed lap 15 first of all .............very useful tips!

I just made it to Lap 15. Have used 45 gems. Next 3 competitors are on Lap 10. Don't know it I can finish 15 in 10 hours. I think the wait times on the fights will make it impossible.

Congrats. To do lap 15 in time you will need a lucky spin for the fights node and some gems. Good luck.

Me, I am trying to finish the last 2 nodes of lap 19 to get the heroic joker orbs.

I got to lap 17.3 but I’ve lost the will to go on. Spent 50 gems because work commitments don’t line up with ten battle nodes but I’m cool with that. Can’t face another fight every hour and twenty to go for the heroic orbs though.
