JWA Weekly Events Mar 9 - Mar 15: Tournament Clash

Explorers! Our next event theme is Tournament Clash which is very appropriate given this crazy tournament month. 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

• Ankylosaurus Gen 2 (Tuesday ) (Ankylocodon>Ankylodicurus>Ankylodactylus, Alankylosaurus)
• Dimetrodon Gen 2 (Global Anytime) (Monolometrodon>Monolorhino)
• Purussaurus Gen 2 (Local 2 Day/Dawn/Dusk) (Purrolyth>Grypolyth)
• Sinosauropteryx (Local 3 Anytime) (Sinokotaraptor)

Another week, another round of Sinosaur. None of these super stand out over the others, but we do like Ankyl2 for it being day locked and part of the brand new Legendary super duper hybrid, Ankylodactylus. This won't be eligible for the first Legendary tournament but will be for the later one which happens to be Advantage. You'll want to get working on one if you'd like to have it usable for that. If we were to rank the others based on hybrids, we'd say Pur2, Dime2, Sinosaur. Grypo has been making a comeback with the heavy use of Ankylos Lux and Arctovasilas. We continue to see the removal of MRhino from lineups as it is replaced with these new Apexes and other creatures that received some buff love in the update. And as already mentioned, we have seen Sinosaur in many events lately. I was already personally over darting this little flock and have minimal desire to get back to it quite yet. Of course, as we typically say, 36 is a lot of attempts over two days so you may just dart whatever crosses your path in the interest of your own time.

Friday - Saturday: 12 Attempts

• Scorpius Rex Gen 2 (Event Exclusive) (Scorpius Rex Gen 3)
• Secondontosaurus (Local 3 Anytime) (Ardontosaurus>Ardentismaxima/Ardontognathus)
• Troodon (Local 4 Day/Dawn/Dusk) (Toodoboa)
• Woolly Rhino (Event Exclusive) (Keratoporcus, Monolorhino)

Despite two options being Event Exclusive, this isn't as easy a choice as may appear. In the past we'd have put all our eggs in a Rhino basket, but things have changed quite a lot. We actually like Troodon quite a bit with the nasty new-ish Unique, Troodoboa bursting on to the scene in 2.13. Of course saving the cost of coins and DNA for fusing gives SR2 some appeal, and Woolly Rhino is still a very solid epic on its own even as people start to abandon the once mighty MRhino. We also have the Legendary raid darling, Porcus, for which it's very beneficial to have at level 20. Lastly, we have Secondo who now has another hybrid in its line in Ardontognathus. This one is going to take some time, as it also requires the new Event Exclusive Anurognathus. This doesn't scream to us that it's a hurry to stock back up on Secondo to feed ultimately in to Ardontognathus. You may simply evaluate your own goals and choose based on that, you really don't go super wrong with any of these four options.

Sunday - Tuesday: 24 Attempts

• Arctodus (Event Exclusive) (Arctalces>Arctovasilas)
• Doedicurus (Park Anytime) (Ankylodicurus>Ankylodactylus, Megistocurus)
• Preondactylus (Local 1 Anytime) (Ankylodactylus)
• Tyrannosaurus Rex Gen 2 (Global Day/Dawn/Dusk) (Indominus Rex Gen 2>Indoraptor Gen 2/Indotaurus, Tyrannolophosaur>Tenontorex)

These are some very tough choices, but you really want to use your attempts on Arctodus if you haven't finished Acrtovasilas yet. We know the brand new Preon is extremely tempting, and we can't completely blame you if this is what you have your eye on. If you don't have easy access to parks, Doedi is a fine choice with 3 great hybrids that require it now. Despite all the appealing hybrids TRex2 is responsible for, we can not suggest this one over the other options. We have 3 days to do 24 attempts, so it should be pretty easy to be selective in your choice(s). 

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, the brand new, Event Exclusive, Anurognathus tower on Friday! We've also got the regularly scheduled Boost Strikes on Thursday (Attack), Saturday (HP), and Monday (Speed) as well as a Badge strike on Tuesday.

Scents

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

• Apatosaurus (Common)
• Amargasaurus (Rare)
• Argentinosaurus (Rare)
• Giraffatitan (Rare)
• Brachiosaurus (Epic)
• Diplodocus (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.

Hybrid Pursuit

This week begins the Megalotops pursuit with the Rare Megalonyx!

March marches on with our daily creature as Stygimoloch and arena season reward, the Event Exclusive Argentavis!

We also continue the Alliance Championships in the form of Indotaurus. The 2nd of 6 tournaments will be a Common (All EXCEPT Eremotherium) Advantage tournament for Echo & TRex2 DNA!

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 is another solid week of great options and an abundance of strike towers for so much additional DNA. 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!
