Introduction
Weekly Calendar Explained
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 = Varies but tends to usually be 2 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 about 35 minutes with about 5 minutes between. Epics last 1 hour with about 5 minutes in between. Legendaries & Uniques last about 27 minutes with about 3 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.
Featured Creatures: Commons
Wednesday - Thursday: 18 attempts
- Brontotherium (Battle Exclusive) (Brontolasmus)
- Inostrancevia (Local 1 Day/Dawn/Dusk) (Inostherium, Edaphocevia>Albertocevia, Dodocevia)
- Lythronax (Local 3 Anytime) (Purrolyth>Grypolyth)
Overall
This is one of the better groups of Commons we'll see with Bronto being a great one to level for Common tournaments, Inos great for building multiple useful hybrids, and Lythro great for building Purrolyth the rare tourney slayer. Of the three, we would recommend Bronto first mainly due to the Battle Exclusivity. However, it's typically not worth spending much time on Commons, so your best bet will be to dart whatever crosses your path.
Voting Poll
As of Wednesday morning:
Featured Creatures: Epics
Friday - Saturday: 12 Attempts
- Diplodocus (Event Exclusive) (Geminititan)
- Giganotosaurus (Event Exclusive) (Giganyx)
- Moros Intrepidus (Event Exclusive) (Thylos Intrepidus)
- Pulmonoscorpios (Event Exclusive) (Dsungascorpios)
Overall
What a fantastic pool of choices with all being Event Exclusive. Fortunately, they didn't delay Update 2.20 very long, so we know the introduction of Geminideus may be a game changer. Seeing the stats, we speculate this will slow down the surge of flocks. As a result, we suggest you focus your attempts on Diplod. You're going to need over 20,000 to max the newest fusible Apex. Diplod itself is also an Epic tourney monster, so this provides multiple pros for this one. On a similar note, we know Pulmono is a formidable Epic even at level 20, as we watched it take out 30/30 Rixises and Teryxes over and over even without boosts in the Advantage tournament. Our hesitation is solely the speculation that GDeus may make its hybrid unusable. We share that same hesitation for Moros and its hybrid. This leaves an interesting place for Giganoto. Will Giganyx see a resurgence with the possible reduction of flocks? And Giganoto itself is an extremely strong Epic people have been leveling for qualifying tournaments. No matter which you choose, none of these are even close to poor choices. Just make sure you do all 12 and don't leave any on the table.
As of Wednesday morning (most votes prior to release of 2.20):
Featured Creatures: Legendaries
Sunday: 2 Attempts
- Parasaurolophus Lux (Global Short Range) (Parasauthops)
- Rexy (Global Short Range) (Tyrannometrodon )
Overall
This is a battle of the huntable Legendaries, and we still like Rexy over PLux. It's been aaruond way less time, and we are able to raid PLux's hybrid each week.
As of Wednesday morning:
Featured Creatures: Rares
Monday - Tuesday: 24 Attempts
- Albertosaurus (Event Exclusive) (Albertospinos, Albertocevia)
- Arctops (Event Exclusive) (Acrocanthops>Parasauthops, Andrewtops)
- Cervalces (Event Exclusive) (Arctalces>Arctovasilas)
- Quetzalcoatlus (Event Exclusive) (Pteraquetzal>Quetzorion)
Overall
Hall of Fame week concludes with another group of Event Exclusives. Of these, we like Arctops and Alberto about equally best. Cervalces is a close third with a fusible Apex in its lineage, one that will be receiving a buff whenever Update 2.20 finally happens.
As of Wednesday morning:
Strike Events, Trials, Scents, Treasure Chase, and Hybrid Pursuit!

We have the standard treasure chase on Sunday where distance doesn't matter. You can collect up to 25,000 coins through each period (Sunday will run 11am Eastern to 8pm Eastern, then it will reset until 11am Eastern Monday) - this allows 2 total chances at the coins!

Free Cash Link
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, 12am Eastern - Tuesday, 11:59pm 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.
