The Distract and Destroy Event - This is probably the most valuable event in the game, at least in the early stages. I wanted to take a minute and explain how and why; as well as offer a few tips to make our group effort as efficient as possible.
The Why
The most efficient way to turn energy into useful items is through frenzied bunkers! we get boosts, rss, and coupons... for free energy! in fact the returns are so good it makes the correct "choice" item in the subscription services the extra energy! perhaps the most valuable of these is the coupons which drop at about a 50% rate. if we do it properly, with 15 members each contributing one unit each we collect about 7 coupons as a team for every bunker!
If we each did 10 bunkers a day 1 bunker gives 15 rewards at optimal distribution with roughly a 50% chance of getting a coupon per chest. So each bunker is worth 7.5 coupons to our alliance... imagine how many modern units we would have as a group if we all focused on grinding them everyday, remember everyone's individual effort is magnified by 15!
How to go about it!
Getting the most flags we can out of the distract and destroy even is critical. when the event comes around it's important that you run enough bunkers to reach your progress goal for the event. As soon as you have reached that goal, immediately switch to killing ravens to get the most flags that you can. This is a great place to use extra energy if you have the time!
Outside of the event anytime you can start an ag to run bunkers use your troops in full until you can fill the ag with one troop from each person available. As the ag fills remove one of your own troops to make room for the next person, be sure to tell people what you're doing and ask them to only send one unit for bunkers. if you have been doing them for a while you may want to dismiss members who have been in the ag longest one at a time to make a spot available to someone new. Please run as many as you can!
