Sun's Out, Fun's Out! Summer Smackdown is ON!

IT’S TIME TO THROW DOWN

Hey Summer-ners.

Starting tomorrow SUMMER SMACKDOWN - ALPHA will become available. A new Boss Rush is going to drop every Wednesday for the next 6 weeks, starting tomorrow! The first five are your typical Boss Rushes, with fights collected from Event Quests of days past. Allowing you to re-fight some of your favorite (or less than favorite) bosses.

Week 6 is SUMMER SMACKDOWN - OMEGA. This quest requires you to beat the previous 5 weeks in order to unlock it. Once you’re able to take it on, you’ll need to plan your team carefully. Because week 6 is a gauntlet combining the fights from the previous 5 weeks for the ultimate challenge.

Each of the first 5 weeks rewards you with a pair of SMACKDOWN SHADES. These will be tiered to the difficulty you completed, get 5 of any tier and that difficulty of week 6 will become available on Sept 2nd 10:00 AM PDT! You won’t spend these to enter the quest either, so you can try it as many times as you’d like.

HOW LONG DO I HAVE TO COMPLETE THESE QUESTS?
Once Omega is released, you’ll have two weeks to complete all 6 Quests before they disappear on Sept 23rd 10:00 AM PDT. But none of the first 5 weeks will disappear before then.

IS THIS THE SUMMER OF PAIN THING I’VE BEEN HEARING ABOUT?
no.

IS THIS THE SUMMONER SHOWDOWN THING?
no.

HOW HARD ARE THE QUESTS?
Unlike our usual Boss Rushes, we’ve added difficulty options similar to our other Event quests. This will be unique to this event. So everyone should have a difficulty they can comfortably take on.

REMEMBER. If you want to complete Week 6 on a Difficulty, you’ll need the 5 SMACKDOWN SHADES of that Difficulty.

WHAT ARE THE REWARDS?
The first 5 quests have their own set of rewards. They will be consistent across the 5 weeks with the main prizes being behind the 6th week, OMEGA. Below is a Breakdown.

Plus, collect these SICK titles for completing OMEGA on each difficulty.

Easy - Far Out
Medium - Wicked Gnarly
Heroic - Bodacious
Master - Totally Rad
Epic - The Big Kahuna

This kicks off tomorrow, July 29th at 10am PDT!

EDIT: Adding some Answers to questions from the Thread:

Are there Energy Requirements?
It's 1 per Step. That means weeks 1-5 will be pretty low, but the Omega Quest will differ in length depending on the difficult. Epic has A LOT of fights in there.

How Difficult will it be?
Each fight will be about approximately at the difficulty level of the Boss in the equivalent Event Quest.

I heard the last day is 31 bosses and if that’s so the rewards should be buffed

Keep in mind the Omega Boss Rush won't land until September (6 weeks from tomorrow)
6 weeks from tomorrow or 5 weeks?
Because 5 are the weeks before Omega, which is supposed to be the 6.
On the announcement it says that week 6 Omega will drop at September 2 and at the very next paragraph, that once Omega is released, we have two weeks to complete all 6 quest before they disappear at September 23, so that would mean that Omega drops at September 9.
@Kabam Miike
Can we please have a clarification for when Omega drops?
Is it on September 2 or September 9?

Agree, @Kabam Miike , needs clarification.
In-game countdown is 56 days, but that would be 8 weeks not 7.
5 weeks before Omega, plus 2 for Omega, should be the 7 weeks duration in Announcement, to end Sept 16th (NOT Sept 23rd ending date in Announcement).

It’s not that hard.

This week’s quest can be settled with a team of 2-3 champs that covers a lot of ground in terms of utility.

Can’t wait for the Omega one though. Will be fun.
Right? I'm hoping its going to be a real challenge to counter all the fights. Trying to counter 31 boss fights with a team of 5 is probably one of the craziest things in the game besides the Abyss up to this point.

I don't know, that Thing was a pain in the butt.

Ida12fw

Really nice rewards and fairly easy for week 1.

Bazahaildancn

Rewards are pathetic. Very very disappointed.

Raganator

Rewards are pathetic. Very very disappointed.

When is the last time Kabam gave out 6,000 5* shards and 500 6* shards for ten minutes of gameplay?

Yeah. And we are getting dislikes from crybabies who can’t handle these easy fights. Honestly, 31-35k defenders are nothing more than minis in Tiers 1-3 that players face every single war. (We get 38-60k ones too)

Anyway @Werewrym bro, I think it’s possible figure out a rough team to handle all 31 fights though.

Off the hat I’ll bring in,
Quake
HT
OR
Doom/Magik
And maybe AA or Ghost to handle the quest.

This week I only used Quake and AA (plus Doom for CMM but Quake can do it too).

Rockypantherx

I like this boss rush. Honestly, it’s not that difficult. If you can play Quake it’s done. I did it on my alt account with a 3/41 5* Quake and the rest of my team were 3/30’s.

Anyone can take Thing if you know how to fight Thing.

Diablo is just any nullify or slow champ.

Havok could be a pain, but any Havok counter or any champ and pushing to his SP2 will win that fight

Sinister can be done by anyone, just a long fight

Nick Fury, again, any champ if you play well, and any mutant is going to do pretty well. And a free willpower heal with Shank

Captain Marvel is mystic food, which you could cover Diablo with as well. Any champ could do this as well.

If you have a problem with this boss rush, your roster is either missing absolute basic essentials, or you’re just not playing well enough. I’m sorry, but that’s how it is.

On the positive side, you have 8 weeks to do it. Plenty of time to practice or pull a counter, although that second one I know isn’t a viable solution

I don't know, that Thing was a pain in the butt.

For me it was Diablo, I was able to Quake The Thing rather easily (she's a 4r5 so it took some time) but I just couldn't with Diablo, he kept delaying his hits just a fraction of a second and it caught me off guard several time. Guess such an erratic behavior was to be expected from a drunk like him ! Cost me two revives though...

I tried using Quake and he was too aggro. I used HT for Diablo. Melted him.

Colonaut123

I like this is a boss rush for all, and not for the few.

Ezra7676

So where is it? Can't find it.

Havanaknight

Can we presume that the 31 fight week 6 will be a repeat of the first 5 weeks put together, plus omega?

AngelLight

Where do you find the summer smackdown

NoOnexRO

Where do you find the summer smackdown

In the "Side Quest" tab. Where the "Northern Expeditions" are.

Ezra7676

Found it. Can't even do master with a team of 5/65's.

Typically you want the enemies to be aggro when you're playing Quake though because otherwise their combos are all weird. Or at least that's my preference.

Yeah I'm for sure on board with Quake, and HT. Probably going to bring my r3 6* Sentinel because he is very sustainable. Still unsure on the last two spots. Maybe OR for one of them. I lack a Doom so if there are any big cosmic fights I'm probably going to be forced to bring SymS.

Yes. Could have been me. I just woke up and let go of a few Evades. I just moved on. Had better success with Elsa, and Quake took out Havok.

Epic omega about to be hard af
No way they are just gonna give away 2 full t5b like that
lets hope!!!!
The way i interpreted it was that boss rush #6 will be all 5 previous boss rushes put together. Might be wrong though
Not totally wrong. Different Difficulties will be different, but the Omega one is going to be looooong (I think 31 fights?).

31 fights per difficulty??

Sbkrueb

31boss fights seems a bit....excessive.....no?

jp2835

The rewards look good but the nodes doesn't justify the difficulty for master mode
Looks like someone forgot to put codes of master mode so they put up EPIC in place of CAVALIER && MASTER in place of EPIC so no-one notices the change
Do not foget that the name OMEGA itself says The final quest will be much tougher than the 5 , maybe lowering champion boost from 150% to 100% in the weekly boss rush can make it more relatable to original master difficulty if not in mood to take down a buff or two (I don't care bout of legendary crystal if I have to waste 200 units each week for them)

xNig

Nope. Seems fun. One path. No big deal.

Play perfectly or expect to spend a lot on healing up. It’ll be even more exciting if they removed item use for Omega difficulty.

Huh? Master was insane....ly easy...

If you mean Quake shake in case of easy then I think you should reconsider the words

Nice to see T5CC coming into the game.

Now can you make it a 27% T5CC selector so I don’t spend the next 3 months being teased by my 6* Ghost sitting at R2?

Jokes aside, it looks really good.

Been hunting tech for a while. Missing precisely 10% 😉

Sigil most likely.

Mollinary

Found it. Can't even do master with a team of 5/65's.
So you're saying it's too hard on master?

Yes, I cant too,. captain Marvel go to 62% and is unbeatable as she starting with one bar and unblockable sp1 and undestroyable active from 1 s of fight. After 6 rev a will say goodbye.
From my perspective I would like to say Kabam do what normally do, rewards too low for effort, and cost.
