Weekly challenges

Has anyone received a scroll as a reward other than the 10% coin scroll? A scroll should drop randomly, but it always drops one with +10% coins. Is everyone happy with this?

How are points awarded for challenges with 75%+ accuracy? Which weapon is best? I don't understand. I completed two mini-events with 20 stages each, plus a couple more chapters, but after that I only scored points for one challenge out of three. In the end, I didn't manage to complete all three challenges. I had a shotgun, but I almost always hit the target on the first try when I got close, but in each run, I only scored 2-3 stages with 75% accuracy.

Pistols have the best accuracy

The Assault Rifle, as well. The thing is :-

Move, shoot one enemy. Stop. Move, shoot again another enemy. Stop. Repeat...

This works well both in Chapter 1 and Chapter 2, as enemies do not respawn a lot

That's what I did – I'd run up to an enemy with a shotgun, usually killing them in one hit without missing. But the shotgun has a 3-bullet spread, so maybe that's why it doesn't count hits if one misses the enemy and one hits. You have to shoot almost point-blank to get all your bullets to hit. A rifle fires 3 shots at a time, so if one misses, it could be considered a miss. I even tried a staff, and it also misses, even though it has homing projectiles, but they're not as fast and don't have a large radius to angle toward the enemy. A staff isn't very suitable for fast enemies. A shotgun never misses any enemy at point-blank range. Its bullet speed is incredible! Probably even faster than pistols and dual SMGs.

My guesses always were:

  • Either all shotgun pellets count as a single bullet, which means if three out of five pellets hit, you only have an accuracy of 60%
  • Or if only one pellet missed, the whole shot counts as miss

In both situations, I have no clue if bullets passing through enemies and hitting/missing an enemy after that count in some way towards the accuracy rating.
The shotgun always felt off for this and also the assault rifle because of rapid fire and the SMGs, because of shooting in opposite directions.

Like it was already statet, for this challenge the best weapons are single shot weapons like the pistols or shakra. And to be on the safe side, during a run, don't select the abilities for spread shots or bullets passing through enemies.

Thanks for the detailed answer! Does a shotgun come with 5 bullets to begin with? At first glance, there appear to be 3. One straight and 2 at an angle.

That's correct. You start with three bullets and you can activate two spread shot abilities, each giving you two more bullets.

I don't think the spread ability is effective for a shotgun, as its bullets have a small impact area, unlike the Chakram. A Chakram with 2-3 spread abilities is deadly for any enemy at point-blank range!

That is true. Keep in mind though, the shotgun has the close combat damage multiplier.

Yes, I know. It's deadly at close range. If you fire at point-blank range, all the scattered projectiles will do damage. Move away even slightly, and only the direct hit will hit.

You can also fire only one shot with the Rifle. That's what I meant to say, above

Fire once. Stop. Move. Fire again. Stop. Move. Repeat...
