Jefferz, To your point: I think that the list does look a little better for this event than the last. However since I still need the Al Mualim DNA I'll be spending my tokens on progression and rank. For the Horatio event which I have him at 5* I might consider going for the stars. I think it depends on what if anything you still need or want from each event. Also, I currently have 21 tablets and 24 emeralds with no current need to use them.
So, I guess i'd opt for whatever spends the least HC and gains the most HC.
That's definitely not stars. Unless they adjust it, you actually lose helix trying for the stars. I tried in Ottoman, ran GM then Master and quickly realized by the end of all tiers I'd be losing about 250 helix when all said and done.
Mathematically, you'd gain more rushing the last Master mission, let alone GM because the helix rewards are far greater at the event's end.
Just my 2 cents!
I think there are those for whom the stars work. If you are fairly new and can't do master level, you might get more out of doing all the chapter 1s, followed by all the chapter 2s, them as many as you can of the other levels. Can't get them all, but better and more varied than expert 4 over and over.
I was hoping it would be good enough to draw out some of those at the top so I might hit the top ten occasionally, but I that was wishful thinking. Maybe if a larger bonus is given for getting them all.
There are only 3 things they could offer that would entice me to go for these stars. The first is a more worthwhile amount of HC. The current amount just isn’t worth it. The second is DNA for the few heroes I need. And the 3rd are those rare swords and spears that only drop in a couple of events. Every thing else is just not worth it at this point for me.
The devs were also misleading in the description. You cannot do any mission to gain more stars in a given level. You must complete all the missions in a level to get the stars. So what was the point of the release info since it was incorrect and misleading. The rewards are crap considering how many helix points you have to use. Another lying ripoff brought to you by greedy devs.
