How to max the solo event and get MLC chase character

Options

Most of the things mentioned here are always subject to change, but this is just to give you all a good idea of being successful with the MLC. So, here are a few things to keep in mind before the start of each month :-

1. The first thing to do is check the blog for details about the event. Even though it is always “subject to change” you will get a good idea of what to expect overall.

 2. Have a look at the list of the guys required in tours based on the blog or the intel channel. Some months they give us all the characters, but most recently, they give it to us week by week. So do the best with the info we can get.

3. If possible, check how many required fighters you have and how many are between 3ss to 3sg (normally a 3sg can clear hell mode if played with props and igc). Some tours have talent way higher or lower. In the cases they are lower be thankful. In the cases they are much higher, leave them till the end to see if you really need whatever reward you would get from beating them.

4. Set up a list of guys you can work on, keep them ready to be level up and evolve for the coin/evolve and tp events. IF there's a situation where you have to use tp outside of an event, try using shards first if available. 

5. If this month long is running as it usually does, look to see when the coin/evolve and tp events are. If there are times they run together, then double dip so you’re not wasting one or the other. So try to plan to maximize your use for tp to be used on the fighters you want while also leveling and evolving them over both coin/evolve events for the week.

6. See if you can max out the month long character that you get for free. It gives a lot of points towards the month long solo events.  

7. There are always a number of ways to score in the month long solo event. Make sure you are aware of all of them. Ex. Ingots, spending turnbuckles, levelling the featured character, etc.

8. Have a look at your VIP level. If you have VIP 11 or higher you don’t need to worry about 3 starring all the nodes on normal and hard. Take this into account before levelling up characters. Check to see if the nodes you want to beat on hell mode are single or tag matches. If they are tag matches, your partner could be one of your stronger fighters, so all you really need to do is make it to a tag. This can save you coins, tp, and tokens.

9. Even though you may want to complete everything as soon as it’s released, don’t rush to finish all the tours if your fighters aren’t strong enough unless there’s a time limit or event to go with it. Sometimes you will find by the end of the event you didn’t actually need to clear everything.

10. When you find you do indeed need to face a match that doesn’t look promising, remember props and IGC can go a long way. Using Papa Shango as a trainer if he’s at 9k will give you an additional 50k of health, so use him as needed!

11. Always max every coin/evolve and tp event as much as possible. Sometimes it's better to save up your coins by doing them only until certain milestones (where you get the shards of the chase character).

12. Whenever it's possible, save up your ingots / t-shirts and don't rush in to buy stuff from the wall unless it's mandatory. It’s better to wait until the end. Of course you may run into a situation where you really need something like shards or blitz tickets, etc., then of course getting those before the end makes sense. Saving them all till the end and seeing exactly how much you have and what’s available can help you maximize what you get and help replenish your resources for next month.

For P2P players - If you are willing to spend, of course it will make your life easier. If you plan on buying the 2 star or 3 star starter packs at some point during the event, getting them right at the start gives you the most benefit. It’s not imperative to buy them, but in my experience if you do make these purchases it usually does help and gives the most benefit right from the get go.


And then comes my final (basic) golden rules :-

1st goal -> Max TU,

2nd goal -> keep upgrading free character,

3rd goal -> max tours and enough coin and tp events (while upgrading characters who you'll need for next TU)

4th goal -> Get month chase character

5th goal -> Get ready for next TU. And repeat each month!


Apologies for the long post! Hope this helps you get a bit closer to your goals. Best of luck guys 🥂

    @Zilconis

    I forgive you....😁

    Thanks, very useful, although I am far away from maxing events...

    @Zilconis Great work and thanks for that Info.

    How many coins and tp do you recommend to have at least for the mlc?

    Can this work without a good faction? Maxing the faction events is key i think.

    thanks for taking the time to write this to give tips to player, that's some great community spirit right there.

    Hi @Tazz1979 , apologies for the late reply. I'd recommend having at least 25-30 mil and 4-5k tp before the start of any MLC.

    Hi @donHawk , apologies for the late reply. You are right, sadly this won't be easily possible without having a faction which completes events. The only other real option to do it is by spending a lot of real money.

    Glad to help :)

    I also work with the Haven Tier Guide, I'll update that soon now.

    I'm just throwing my 2 cents in, but first thank you OP for taking the time to write this up. I'm not from an active-ish faction, but doing what you outlined will get you the solo event I totally agree. An active faction may get you there over the line for the chase character. Doing tours maxing every tp and coin and being active and doing what I can on other solo events gets me shy about 500-1000 shards. Just to illustrate, the 3 chase guys I really tried for below. After triple H, my expectations adjusted and haven't been maxing anything since. So having an active faction and doing your bit will get the chase. Personally, all I've been doing now is hoarding for talent up and upgrading guys I have gotten from loot or current.

    You are absolutely right @SnaxxyB ! Having an active faction which completes events will definitely get you over the line. Coz there's easily around 500-600 extra shards in there with faction events. If you are looking for any active faction, there are many who focus on just the events and make sure they max faction events. So I suggest you have a look at that. Hope you max this current MLC and get Wendi!

    Some good advice in there, but some of your numbers are off with the current state of the game in my opinion.

    25m coin will only max 1 coin event and 5k TP is only enough to get halfway through a TP event. Unless you’ve got almost every requirement, you can’t max a monthlong with that.

    Also, a 3SS/3SG will have a hard time beating Hard mode, let alone Hell. You need a strong 4SG strapped up to beat the majority of Hell nodes.

  • Zilconis

    You are absolutely right! The numbers are off especially for this month with the ridiculous amount of coins and tp required for coin evo and tp events this month. I guess scopely got smarter after reading this and decided to change up some things 😂


    Regarding the 3ss/3sg, I don't fully agree. With the right trainers and a few props, you can still get things done with superstars at that rarity. Best example - I cleared normal and hard mode with a level 50 sb Austin in the open tour! For hell mode, I just need to max him at 3g and then keep on subbing the opponent to death in the hell mode matches. I know it'll take a lot of time and even a igc continue, but the rewards are worth it!

    Good point. Characters with submissions can grind out wins against much higher talent opponents with some help from igc and props. Protect or even botch gem characters often can too.

    To go along with your post I believe @Mherex has a video that talks about many of the same things. Excellent post.

    There's just not enought ressources to do this. I mean how is it possible to max all of the coin/evo events...

  • Zilconis
    Zilconis Member ✭✭✭

    You don't need to max all the coin evo. You can also keep playing till 9/11 milestones. Even those give us decent amount of solo points to keep us going ahead in the solo event. Don't give up, keep grinding throughout the event.

  • Yea it seems like i have to skip a few to max out another. Not enough resources for me.
