🧠 How the Event Works

A bandit camp appears on the map and starts launching waves.
Each wave attacks all members’ cities and the HQ (on waves 10 & 20).
If you kill over 50% of the enemies, the wave is considered cleared.
If you fail, your city stops receiving attacks, but you can still earn points by reinforcing other members.

⚠️ If a city loses 2 waves, it will no longer generate points for that player or their reinforcers.

📈 Difficulty Levels and Alliance Progression

Crazy Joe has 21 difficulty levels, each harder than the last. Unlocking higher levels requires:

Completing the current level at least once.
Reaching the required alliance defense points.

Your best score from multiple attempts counts toward rewards and progression.

🏅 How Scoring Works

🔹 Individual Points

You earn points by killing Joe’s troops, whether defending your own city or reinforcing allies. The more kills, the more points.

🔸 Alliance Points

Alliance score = sum of all member kills during the event.

Reinforcing others is key: you can score more by supporting teammates, especially when your own city is no longer under attack.

🎯 Pro Strategy Guide

Here are the best tips and advanced tactics to dominate Crazy Joe:

1. 🧱 Empty Your Base

Send all troops out to reinforce others. This allows allies to reinforce you and earn kills, while you do the same.

2. 🛡️ Reinforce Players with No Support

Avoid stacking reinforcements on one city — too many troops means fewer kills for each participant.

3. ⚔️ Troop Priorities

Infantry: Get the most kills.
Lancers: Second best, useful when Infantry are depleted.
Marksmen: Rarely contribute — use only when nothing else is available.

4. 🔁 Group Rotation Strategy

Form groups of 3–4 players.
Rotate troops so each member sends and receives equal reinforcements.
Example: Send 60k troops to 3 allies, receive 60k from each.

5. 🦴 Wave Phases

Waves 1–10: Keep best heroes at home; send weaker ones out.
Wave 10 (HQ): Recall your troops and send your strongest march to the HQ.
Waves 11–20: Redistribute your troops for maximum defensive coverage.

6. 🧬 Buffs & Pets

Activate army size buffs and all pet bonuses.
Pets increase kill rates and march capacity significantly.

7. 🚑 Don’t Heal Troops

Injured troops stay and help defend. Healing removes them and decreases your allies’ chance to earn points.

📦 When Are Rewards Delivered?

12:00 UTC the day after the event ends — Wednesday or Friday.
You can participate multiple times, but only your best score counts.
If you change alliances, your personal score stays, but alliance rewards depend on your contribution there.

⚠️ Additional Tips and Notes

Teleporting during the event cancels your participation in those waves.
Don’t reinforce cities that are already defeated twice — no points will be gained.
A strong alliance should prioritize completing all waves on a sustainable difficulty, rather than failing early on higher levels.
