Superheroes 2 is the one hundred twenty-ninth content update for The Simpsons: Tapped Out. It started on June 14, 2016 and ended on July 26, 2016. It was a sequel to the Superheroes content update.
You fight sending your superheroes in and having them battle your enemies. If you win you get more resources, and the more damage you do the more you receive too. You get some even if you lose. On the first win of the day you get additional rewards.
Win: 350 Event Currency and 40
Loss: 55 Event Currency and 10
Bonus: 4 Event Currency per each heart of damage done
First win of the day extra bonus:
Issue 1: 300 Event Currency and 50,
Issue 2: 400 Event Currency and 75,
Issue 3: 600 Event Currency and 120.
The fighting system, similar to Pokémon, consists in a Rock, Paper and Scissors battle.
Brain wins against Tech, Tech wins against Muscles, Muscles wins agains Brain.
Normal effect (same type characters) will do 1 heart of damage. Supereffective will deal 2 hearts of damage. To change the character on the field, press the switch button, but remember, the enemy will get one attack on you that way.
After the battle your fighters will be hurt and need healing. By crafting Band aid kits you can replenish their hearts outside of battle, to get them ready to rumble once again. If you don't have enough materials, the fighters will regain health in time.
If you need to replenish hearts in battle you can also use the Sciencewater. You can get it by tapping criminals or buy one for 2 donuts when you don't have enough.
To power up your partners you can use the Finite Stones obtained from the battles.
You can power them up to get one more heart every time till the max of 5.
Upgrading once costs 245, then 380 and finally 550.
Social battles are important too: you need to do a lot of fights against your friends to earn all the social prizes!
Defeating them or losing to them doesn't matter for the prize (it still matters the same way as normal battles for rewards though) but it's really important you battle every day!
The final prize requires 115 battles, and every day you can only do 3 battles total against your friends! That means 39 days of battles! To battle your friends click on the top right fist icon. If the friend doesn't have that icon, it means your friend hasn't updated to the event yet.
In social battles you'll use felons themself, you can unlock more by fighting against your friends in the prizes. You can heal them the same way as your own characters.
Felons spawn in your town every 4 hours by tapping the Orphan Alley. The maximum number of groups you can have at the same time is 12.
3 Social Battles can be fought every 24 hours. The timer starts after the first social battle of the day ends.
You can check your and your friend's results in the Event Leaderboard. The red part means a loss, the blue part means a win. The bigger an area is the more the user has won/lost.
Quick Battles: On June 30th, Quick Battles were introduced, adding a new button on the battle field on the top right. Clicking it, you can speed up the battle and do nothing. However, there's no heal or switch, it all happens as if you'd tap the bottom right button to fight without any other action. To preserve health and deal more damage, control the team manually.
All jobs are 4 hour long. Each level requires 6xLevel. Level 5 unlocks the West Wing and 15 unlocks the East Wing. All levels increases the Tap Radius on Felons.
Superheroes, today I have something that I am sure you will AB-SO-LU-TELY love!
A boatload of donuts on sale?
A superhero's utility belt?
No sorry, I was told not to do the first one ever again and the second would cost more to manufacture than I'm worth.
I hear ya.
...
I have something much much better! What about the Springfield Home for the Criminally Different?!
The what? That doesn't sound like something we'd love to have in Springfield.
It's a lunatic asylum, and it's EXACTLY what superheroes are looking for...
Did I mention that in the last ten months escapes are up 150% and that 75% of staff members end up as residents and visa versa?
How can you possibly beat that?
If the offer is accepted
Good doing business with you, pally. Everyone needs friends and you and these loonies are gonna end up fast ones.
if the offer is declined
Can't blame you for not wanting to add some zip-zam-zoom to your gloomy life. Probably afraid of the dark corners and the constant sounds of screaming...
