So according to the unofficial website, we have a new team race coming up next perhaps right after the progressive island is done. I want to talk about this monster. AOE freeze two turns, so kinda like megastun, and I assume no one is immune to it?? Single freeze 2 turns, then reaper countdown 3 turn. Seriously wth this guy is OP!! Still, I DO NOT want another team race that quick! We literally just finished the last team race 6 days ago!! SP please listen to us this time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! @Fox

Ultimate 50% kill all
If they didnt die he will give them reaper countdown for 3 turns
And yes. We just got 2 race in this months....

2 points to consider. 1st off, this is not a Team Race, this is a new event, tho, it will still involve your team. 2nd, these leaked moves are very very fresh, so its very liable to being changed.

Also, the 2 turn freeze and 3 turn reaper countdown might SOUND really op, however, its very uncommon for battle to drag on that long, especially when you have attackers like Barbatos, Voltaik and Zyla at every corner. What will really prove his worth is his speed and trait. Of course, if you have a Sammy or Metalisha on your side when climbing ladder, hardly any of that matters...

@Boro-Wing uhm the title says "cryotan team race". I think you got confused with another titan race. That's a different event. Cryotan is a TEAM RACE mate

@TCML-Lead Read earlier leaks

@Boro-Wing
vs

different event mate

@HiJack-ER yes i know. His AOE is insane, plus his single turn two turn freeze and 3 turn reaper countdown.. which means the monster will be frozen for two turns, then hit one turn then die. @Boro-Wing Yes you got sammy, but here's the thing tho- 1. many people dont have him, including him, and i mean the f2p players, sorry that I am not that rich. 2. even with sammy, you can pair cryotan with an ultimate attacker and you put 3 x speed on him to do aoe double freeze then your attacker do aoe one shot or two shot kill. Yes, samael is still good and you cant really compare samael with this guy!

@TCML-Lead Im aware of this. Could just be called a team race despite it not being the same event because you still need to be FIRST to take him down. That, or SP is choosing to reveal an event in the distant future, potentially after the Nuclear Winter Maze, when almost nothing about the maze has been revealed yet. You could very well be right on this one, it just seems..... odd.

@TCML-Lead Uhh I meant Cryotan and the extra-turn supporter combined on the same team... also, I wouldnt recommend 3 speed runes of what is probably a tank.

@Boro-Wing so this might sound weird and crazy and the reason I said this event is coming next because 1. cryotan skill is released, which means he is the next monster to appear, hence the team race event is next. 2. Scrap warrior is buffed for another 9 days. So, 2 more days of progressive island + 7 days of team race. Makes sense. I noticed that the team race monster is always buffed till the end of the next race, so there's a really good chance that we will get a new race in 2 days time, which will cause a lot of chaos I assume, and is really unfair to the players. Oh money money money, SP.. Next, I am assuming the other titan invasion event is almost like team race, or maybe it is here to replace team race in the future. But one thing I am certain, this cryotan belongs to a team race, and it is most likely gonna come after this progressive island is over!

@TCML-Lead Yeah, it will def be a team race of some kind... just not sure of the "version", if you will

@Fox I support team races as one of the most fun events in this game.
Many teams are perfectly managing to deal with races, preparation to races and team members migration between teams. Many not so but thats how it is in life too, impossible to make everyones happy.

It is basically a Team Race format. Complete nodes to enter the battle stage.

And regarding Cryotan - I wonder if Mega Freeze can be countered by immunity to freeze? If not, then monster like Frostbite and all mountains have just been obliterated.

Are they running out of events? Races used to be every other month.

If the format's going to be different, i.e fighting "titans"... won't be fair if teams with 25, 20, 15,10 get grouped with teams with higher numbers of players...but mostly, whether the format is different or not, it's wholly unfair to introduce another gem guzzling event this close to Christmas. Fix the bugs & glitches first. Halt the "big ideas" for a bit, please.

@Bruce-Hamilton said in Cryotan Team Race:

I think they realize that making people spend gems in a race is a great way to potentially generate income. If races are a cash cow for them, why not run them back to back?

The leaks on Cryotan have been updated. Since this guys 2 turn AOE Freeze is one of the highest stamina-costing moves in the whole game, it is probably recommended to have 2 life runes, and 1 stamina rune. His extra turn skill is also looking more appealing because of easy stamina recovery. I imagine myself pairing him up with the likes of Metalisha and General Thetys. Metalisha for her incredibly high speed, extra turn, resurrection, and seriously good debuff and buff moveset. Thetys, for potentially denying the enemy turn for an extra 2 turns, and restoring everyones stamina. Seriously, this is hellishly good

Its Christmas....they are trying to get their bonuses.

@Rass Speak for yourself. We also DO NOT want another team race so soon. Hope you a really hard race. Course maybe you are willing to spend HUGE to win

@shazzy Strange, I used word "I", obviously it means I speak for myself.

On the contrary you use word "We" which means you speak for others and you obviously dont have an idea what others think - not only those living here on forum.

I will repeat again, it is not hard task at all to win team races with team having at least 15 active members and a little of common sense to collect available free gems during month to have 300-400 gems available for every member to speed up some tasks.

Almost every team race group of 20 teams has a winner with 14+ laps. Thats a lot of teams, trust me. I guess all of them are supporting team races and are not part of yours "We". These teams I meant in first statement as ones perfectly managing with team races.

But of course it is my personal opinion.

@Nynaevelan Their events are Team Race BEFORE Xmas, and the Nuclear Maze for 2 weeks over Xmas and New Year.

If SP wanted more money, they should have put the more expensive Team Race over Xmas, as more people will have money to spend with gift cards they receive on xmas morning etc.

Best breeding combo for commons?
Best breeding combo for uncommons?
Best breeding combo for rares?

@Clackers
best combo for common is leg fire + common fire.
Best combo for rare/uc is the same could be common fire + common nature. But also uc/rare + uc/rare fire-nature and even more but all are 30% rare and 70% uc

@Marianne-van-Es I was using the Breeding Calculator on the wiki (for the first time ever) so things are clearer now.

This is also a good way to easily and quickly produce multiple monsters to rank them up :D

Firesaur + Treezard = Pandaken or Greensaur (30 seconds). No excuse not to have a 5 star Pandaken then ;)

@Rass Hi. My reference to we was my team. Yes I know them and we discuss what we think. In our races people do 40 to 50 laps. We (my team) No longer participate. Its just a giant spend for the US company that now owns social point. 300 gems. I've never been able to free collect 300 gems in a month. Good luck that you can

@Clackers For commons I just use 2 firesaurs. Cheap to buy 15 to 20sec hatch.
As MarianneEs said treezard and firesaur for common or rare

@shazzy thats great way if you still have room to place those 2 or 1 extra monsters ;).

@shazzy That was easy to collect 300+ free gems per month yet when gems was among pvp rewards. Now should be difficult :)

@Rass Nah, I collected more than 300 without counting the arena bonus.

@Expander12 Good job :)

So..first players tried cryotan on Adventure map and said mega freeze does NOT work against freeze immunity.

@Fox
Is that how its supposed to work? In my opinion if stun immunity does not block megastun, then freeze immunity should not block megafreeze. Especially if it needs 250 stamina points from cryotan. So you either need to fix tge blocking or Reduce the stamina needed.

Interesting...stun, gets a single turn immunity, after stun, whereas freeze or the mega freeze, are skills you can freeze to your heart's content, as long as it sticks. So, they don't really play out in the same way...wonder which route SP will take with Mega Freeze

@ss13 they said they are going to change that in recently freezed and and also recently possessed like stun.

And if it doesnt work maybe we should ask @Carlos ?

@Marianne-van-Es don't remember reading that anywhere on the forum...bar Xiron's recently possessed pity turn for the 2 turn possession skill. Like I said... interesting, wonder where that leaves Kihaku, if what you say is true

@ss13 Its more they are thinking about it lol: https://forums.socialpointgames.com/topic/3401/combat-change-possession-v5-8-game-updates/113

@Marianne-van-Es lol, let me take my ostrich head out of the sand ... totally missed that topic!...2 months ago! Time for the game developers to take their ostrich heads out of the sand, then...they forgot to "keep it simple", again. Every chapter in the ML book has a cliff hanger 😂...

@ss13 Maybe that's the real secret, we want to know what happens next :)))

@Marianne-van-Es this is hilarious...I cry with laughter & cry for every penny I spend on this game 😂. I think, SP needs to think about reducing the price of team shop monsters with all these nerfs on gem costing monsters. Anyway, we need to see how this cliff hanger ends ☺

Dear Players,

I just got info from SP that they really listened to what i said and changed the Megafreeze Skill- now it will not be blocked by freeze immunity!!!👍👍

Great job @Fox ! Im really happy that SP followed our arguments😁

Can someone please test and confirm?
