So after getting dirty on the field with Elly clones in the Training Camp event, now we are faced with Frog mascots. I gotta say Konami is indeed creative. I'm sure our sweet, sweaty Elly is underneath that mascot. Just wondering what is she wearing under such a hot suit playing football.
Before we go into the strategy, here are some things you should know about our new opponent Ippei Posse aka the Frog and what Konami told us.
1. The frog appears after you complete a challenge match. Blue background means normal frog. Orange background means super frog.
2. After you defeat the frog, you will get a chest ranging from wooden to rainbow. The higher the level the frog, the better the chest.
3. The chests gives better rewards according to their rarity.
4. Bandiera badges (BDR) deals significantly more damage than normal badges to the frog.
5. The game displays the damage from each player under "Selection". You need to play the players to deal the damage.
Here is what we have found out after playing.
1. The level of the frog DOES NOT guarantee you a rarer chest. Defeating a lvl 9 Super Frog may also give you a copper box [Happens many times to me]. This is totally random.
2. Getting a silver box may not give you a better reward than a copper box. This is totally random. At times (mostly) the copper box may yield a 3*Star coach badge while a wooden box yield the same. Again, this is also random.
So as you can see from 1 and 2, it is very difficult to get a good reward from the boxes after the match. But you will see your funds rise from 1 million to 3 million easily.
3. You will still get Ippei points even if you lose or draw the match. You will lose out on the goal difference bonus.
4. The Ippei points does not differ much when you use your GP to attack it. If you are being awarded 20,000 points for 10 GP, you will get around 60, 000 points for 30 GP. So check your total possible damage before committing all your GP into attacking the frog.
5. Ippei points does differ from normal and super frog but not not differ from the levels. This means that defeating a lvl 1 frog and lvl 6 frog shows very very slight difference.
6. A level 2 frog may defeat or draw with you while you thrash a level 6 frog. Still happens to me but since the Ippei points are still being awarded, I'm ok with this.
7. A COST 15 lvl 1 BDR badge can deal around 5,000 damage. This is higher than most 4*Star badge damage.
8. You do not need to play the BDR badges to get the bonus damage. The game automatically chooses the top 11 badges with the highest damage to attack the frog.
9. The higher the level of the Super frog, the lesser time you have to defeat it. A level 9 Super Frog only gives you 2 hours to defeat it. If you have 100,000 damage or less, it is impossible to defeat it without using EBs. So free players do watch out.
Objective
There are 3 objective (rewards) that you can play for
1. Ranking
2. Personal Ippei points
3. Boxes
1. Ranking
This is definitely reserved for top players and most likely paid players. There is nothing wrong for Konami to reward the people that are paying for EBs right?
The only advise I can give here is to check and make sure keep all your BDR badges and level them up to deal more damage.
Since the strategy is all about who has the most EBs, I shall not go into this.
I was in the top 1000 on the first day and was very motivated to play. Now, I'm out of the 10,000 ranking and my only hope of a good reward is from the boxes.
2. Personal Ippei points
The early rewards are good and you should go for them before you switch to the 3rd objective. Base on point 4 and 5, if I use 40 GP on a lvl 1 frog, I will get the same Ippei points as a lvl 6 frog. So I will need a minimum of 43 GP to start. Use the lowest GP match (3GP) to get Ippei to appear. Once it appears, use 40 GP for x5 damage to it.
3. Boxes
Since all the boxes and prizes are random, that means that I can still get a lousy reward from a silver/gold box. But that also means I can get a rainbow box from a low level frog. So what we need is to get as many boxes as possible to raise our odds.
The reason why the first match is 0 GP is because we have already used up some GP to find the frog and not a discount that Konami is giving. This means that Konami expects us to use 10 GP or less to find the frog. For me, I rotate between the 3 and 4 GP matches and takes around 3 games for the frog to appear. Once to frog appears, I can easily defeat it with 0 GP. So far my best box is gold while some forum claimed that they got a RAINBOW box (but only a 4*Star Ticket Draw) when defeating the lvl 2 Super Frog. This may also be true as the event Cat Raffle rewards are also base on luck and low level teams can still get a CLS or 5*Star badge.
Once you get a Super frog, use 40 GP to hit it. This will help boost your Ippei points if you need it for the next reward under Ippei points.
Warning
If you left one more bar to get your next super frog, do not use hard challenge matches. You may get a high level Super frog with 1.2 Million stamina while you only able to deal 100,000 damage. Even if you use EBs (min 3) to defeat it, you may still end up with a copper box.
