This will be a guide on the daily "Hedgehog Hullabaloo" and how to maximize the amount of coins you can get from it. Recommended Units: Bajanna (For the Coin Bonus) Zeera (For the Money Bags) Yulia (For Mug & Pickpocket) Reminder: Horizontal pincers have priority over Vertical pincers. Horizontal pincers will trigger from the bottom to the top. Vertical pincers will trigger from the left to the right. Save/Load works. Yulia's Pickpocket & Mug can miss. For those who don't have Yulia, she can be replaced by another unit. Video Guide with the explanations :
Could you please explain the reason behind Kats' massive value? Does her value increase if she pickpocket? If so is it more beneficial to leave her alive until the turn her counter turns 0 so there are more enemy to increase the chain on?
If you let a Kat live more than a turn, she'll steal you again next turn but since you won't have much coins because you got mugged by her earlier it won't change much and you would have lost a turn just to get a few more coin %. Also Kat's astronomical value is explained by the fact that she's stealing a huge % of your total coins, so if you kill her add to it Bajanna's chain Coin Bonus / Zeera's Money Bags and of course Yulia's Mug & Pickpocket ( Yulia's skills are RNG based ) and also the fact that the more you approach the end the more coin you (should) have so the more coin you'll get from.
I mentioned that because I noticed that after Kat steals her counter becomes 2, which mean you can leave here alone for one turn and she won't mug you again. This gives the idea of letting the 3rd Kat live for one turn, which increases either hers or the 4th Kat's Coin bonus. Just wonder if that is worth it.
If you keep the 3rd Kat alive, then the 4th Kat won't have much to steal from you so not really efficient. :3
I typically just try to kill Kat as soon as she appears, and kill as many other adds as possible (keeping one or two alive, so it doesn't end instantly). I haven't done any real experimentation with it, but that seems to work decently well to get coins (usually 5-8k without any coin boosting skills/items).
my alt doesn't have yulia but usually gets over 20k coins with a coin boost by using bajanna, zeera, and using the "wait for kat to steal" method. I try to kill as many other mobs as possible without killing kat before she steals.
I estimated the upper limit to be 66456 if we have 5 waves. (Assume Yulia always succeeds in stealing.) Upon closer inspection, I noticed that Kat may steal 3/4 of the money you have rather than 1/2. Does this always happen at beginning of turn 3?
Happened on the double steal when she takes from 2 allies. As you are clearing the floor, make sure you try to have allies only 1 space apart from each other to increase the odds she performs a double steal. I've hit 50k+ and I believe Drey has too.
So I did new estimation. Assume there are 5 waves, Kat always steals 3/4 of the money you are holding, Yulia's stealing is always successful and enemies always form good formations for you to kill to make use of Bajanna's coin bonus. (Rounding issue is ignored.) Then my new estimate is 127469 coins.
and you remembered to consider zeera's bonus in there too? if so, perhaps we should find a way to make coin boost stack after s/l like spikes do so we can increase the limit more
And now your life is a lie again. You must use a PoFoF team and not care about coins to get max luck chests, and all you'll get is a few thousand extra coins from luck
