JWA Weekly Events Mar 23 - Mar 29: Tournament Clash 2

Explorers! Next up we have round two of Tournament Clash. Let's get to it and talk about our recommendations of what to dart before we break down the rest this week has to offer!

Before we dive in to the week, we'll break down how the weekly event calendar works. First, each day is considered started at 10am Eastern on that day. It is possible that wherever you live, it might actually be the previous or next day, so we wanted to help clarify how they determine what day it is. At this time, event creatures & strike towers will be updated as applicable. This information is also noted on the calendar.

Ever wonder why some weeks we’re given 45 attempts on commons and others only 18 or 27? The reason for this is that the volume of attempts is a simple math calculation based on the rarity and number of options. Take the rarity base number and multiply by the number of options and voila, you have your total allowed attempts! Having more variety in the options yields that many more attempts. The flip side is it may be more difficult to find the creature(s) you favor. Below details the number of attempts assigned to each rarity which is used to determine how many attempts you receive (though occasionally, they stray from this math). This is the total you are allotted across all options, so it is important to select your choices wisely.

• Common = 9 per
• Rare = 6 per
• Epic = 3 per
• Legendary/Unique = 1 total

They recently started putting the number of attempts on the calendar again and sometimes stray from the above. Refer to the calendar for the confirmed counts. Each rarity has a different length of time the spawn lasts followed by a different length of time until respawn after despawn. Commons and Rares will last 1 hour with about 5 minutes between. Epics last 2 hours with about 5 minutes in between.

All strikes and trials are represented on the calendar with the level of difficulty along with how long they last (1 day or 2 days). The trials are shown along the very bottom in gray boxes.

Wednesday - Thursday: 36 Attempts

• Deinocheirus (Global Anytime) (Diloracheirus)
• Deinonychus (Global Anytime) (Poukaidei>Poukandactylus)
• Einiosaurus (Global Dawn/Dusk) (Einiasuchus>Sarcorixis)
• Ophiacodon (Wednesday) (Ankylocodon>Ankylodicurus>Ankylodactylus)

Ophia is the top choice here both for its only being huntable one day a week and also the very new Legendary super duper hybrid, Ankylodactylus. Its Epic super hybrid is also formidable in qualifying tournaments, and you're going to need a ton of "Sophia" to make both of these happen. The other three options are global, and there's no shortage of them out in the wild. However, 36 attempts is a lot over just a couple days, so you may spread some of your attempts over them. It doesn't really matter which, none of them stand out very greatly above the others. 

Friday - Saturday: 12 Attempts

• Anurognathus (Event Exclusive) (Ardontognathus)
• Diplodocus (Event Exclusive) (Geminititan)
• Indominus Rex Gen 2 (Global Dawn/Dusk) (Indoraptor Gen 2, Indotaurus)
• Rajasaurus (Local 2 Anytime) (Rajakylosaurus>Diorajasaur>Ankylos Lux)

Here we go with the Anurog attempts so many have been waiting for, so now everyone will be that much closer to fielding this "super OP" creature. We certainly like this as your top choice, but it's hard to look past Diplod with the huge buff this creature received in 2.14. This is going to be one tough creature in tournaments, especially if you are able to level yours for advantage. Of course we most highly suggest Anurog and/or Diplod are what you use your attempts on due to being Event Exclusive, but there are cases for Indom 2 and Raja. Both have amazing hybrids with Raja even now responsible for two. Even though it's also nice to save the cost of fusing a hybrid, we really feel strongly your attempts are best used on Event Exclusive. These opportunities don't come around often, and this is the only way besides FIPping you can acquire Anurog DNA (Diplod at least can possibly spawn via Saurapoda scent). 

Sunday - Tuesday: 24 Attempts

• Delta (Local 3 Day/Dawn/Dusk) (Velosrhacos, Alloraptor)
• Gorgonops (Global Short Range) (Dakotanops)
• Gorgosaurus (Thursday) (Gorgosuchus>Megalosuchus, Scorpius Rex Gen 3)
• Moschops (Local 3 Dawn/Dusk/Night) (Entelochops>Enteloceros)

This is a very solid group of Rares to choose from. They all are responsible for great hybrids and a couple carry some level of exclusivity. One are only huntable one day a week, and one requires being mobile to hunt. If we were to list these in an order, it would be a  Gorgosaurus followed by Moschops, Gorgonops, and then Delta. We have three days to do the 24 attempts, so that should allow enough time to be particular if you want. If you're not feeling anything in particular, these are all fine enough to just dart whatever you stumble across.

Strike Events & Trials will also be Tournament Clash themed and will reward the same Common, Rare, and Epic DNA found under event drops.

We have just one dinosaur specific strike this week, a Smilodon tower on Friday! We've also got the regularly scheduled Boost Strikes on Thursday (Attack), Saturday (HP), and Monday (Speed) as well as a Title strike on Sunday and an Emote strike Tuesday.

Scents

We have a basic scent strike on Monday, and prior to that will be Raptor scent on Thursday. This scent can draw the following creatures when activated:

• Deinonychus (Common)
• Velociraptor (Common)
• Charlie (Rare)
• Delta (Rare)
• Echo (Rare)
• Utahraptor (Rare)
• Blue (Epic)
• Dakotaraptor (Epic)
• Pyroraptor (Epic)

Treasure Chase

We are back to the normal Sunday treasure chase where we can open them hourly to earn up to 25,000 coins. These do reset at 7pm Eastern and offer a second opportunity toward 25,000 coins before drops reset at 10am Eastern Monday.

GamePress is excited to be able to provide weekly cash links worth $50 cash in game! The code can only be claimed once a week and you must click on it using the device you play JWA with. It will be active from Wednesday, 12pm Eastern - Tuesday, 12pm Eastern every week. This is a promotional code provided courtesy of Ludia, Inc and is exclusive to GamePress. We will post this link in an article we publish each week. We will post all articles on our Twitter so follow us at NewsJWA on Twitter so you don't miss out! 

If you enjoy our content, please help let others know this is the source of the cash links people just post for the taking all over social media. The same goes for YouTuber Gaming Beaver. All links have a purpose behind them, and that is to promote some kind of media and drive traffic. Most people simply do not know there is actually a purpose behind these links, and we'd like to try to educate as many as we can. Take a moment to politely explain this in these posts. It isn't free money some random stranger on the internet whipped up. Every time these links are shared, it is taking opportunity away from an intended purpose. Please think about that or maybe find some time to visit Gaming Beaver, GamePress JWA, and the Ludia social medias.

*We can not control when Ludia officially deploys these links, but these are the times they are planned to be active.

This second round of Tournament Clash presents another fun week of darting and strike towers. We'll also have a temporary return of Mortem with a special raid day on March 27th! Come join our Discord and let us know what you plan to dart! We look forward to your input and hope to see you on there!
