Gameplay[edit]

Upgrading[edit]

The Superior Squad HQ can be upgraded for larger task payouts and a larger Criminal-tap radius. You can use Arbitrarium, which can be collected in various ways after "A New Hero Rises Pt. 1". Upgrading is not necessary, but is to complete both quests in the mini-questline "Superior-ior Squad HQ". Fireworks and a brief soundtrack happen when levelling up.

  The menu that displays when tapping on Superior Squad HQ. This building is Level 21.

• 

  The panel showing what Arbitrarium does.

• 

  You can also upgrade with donuts. 1 Arbitarium is 3.

Superior Squad HQ rewards[edit]

At Level 0, the reward is 0 every 4 hours. Then, once you level up to 1, it is 35 every 4 hours. Every time you upgrade, there are 10 more rewarded every 4 hours. For example, at Level 7 you have 95 every 4 hours.

Tasks that reward event currency[edit]

Friend Actions[edit]

In a friends' town, you can do SIX daily actions, as opposed to the usual three. Three of them are tapping Criminals, while the other are reporting crimes, which can be done by tapping on the phone icon above all buildings. Only the latter rewards cash, while all reward Carbon Rods.

After tapping on Spied-on Buildings, the yellow logo will disappear and a message will pop up saying "Spied by [player name]". Spied-on Buildings will also have their animations running while the yellow logo is above it.

Action Friend reward (each) Own town reward Capturing Criminals XP, Friend Points (if not completed all levels)/chance of a Donut (if completed all levels) 3 (6 with Superior Squad Membership) 15 18 20 Reporting Crimes 1 Till 2h passed 4 From 2h to 5h passed 3 From 5h to 8h passed 2 Over 8h passed 1

• 

  Buildings with the Spied-On logo above it. This means that a friend has done the Daily Action "Reporting Crimes" on that building.

Criminals[edit]

Criminals first appear in towns during the quest "A New Hero Rises Pt. 1". You tap on them to collect event currency, and have a chance to dispense of Arbitrarium, which is used to level up Superior Squad HQ.

Note: Criminals from a phase previous to the one that is currently active will drop the current phase currency.

Felons[edit]

A guide to Felons (which appears after completing Montgomery Burns State Prison Pt. 2.)

Felons are like Criminals, but can only be cleared using Superhero costumes for characters/Fallout Boy obtained in the event during the quest: "Montgomery Burns State Prison Pt. 2". Burns State Prison spawns 1 Felon every 8 hours, and one upon building. Felons also have three hearts, meaning the task must be done three times on one Felon to defeat it. Only 6 Felons can be in one town at a time.

It costs 100 to rush the reward.

Task: "Fight Felon" Superhero Duration Reward 1 Heart Down 2 Hearts Down 3 Hearts Down Plopper 3h 25 75 150 Bartman Fruit-Bat-Man Fallout Boy 4h Pie Man The Collector Clownface

"Montgomery Burns State Prison Pt. 2" unlocks most of the Felon's features. After the quest pops up in the taskbook:

• 

  New speech bubbles appear above their heads

• 

  The icon in the top-right corner, which leads to ->

• 

  This is a Felon's menu.

• 

  This is what happens to a Felon's menu when in-battle.

• 

  This message appears if you try to spawn more than 6 Felons.

When the task "In Battle" by a Felon is finished, the game will send a notification to the device reading "Felon has finished In Battle." After one heart is depleted, an animation of a breaking heart will appear above the Felon's head.

Crafting[edit]

After starting The Collector Pt. 3, Crafting is enabled by tapping on the Android's Dungeon. Crafting items can be collected by defeating Felons and capturing Criminals. At first, one can only craft the Botanical Garden, but after crafting it, you can craft Zenith City buildings, multiple times (except for the Zenith City Times which is unique).
