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.

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.

What level of champs are you using? It's easy with a couple of 4/55s, but if you're stuck only with 4 stars, it may be just a touch challenging.

HULK_BREAK

How do you know when you've finished one if it doesn't appear 100% from the outside?
they have hidden it under the "Side Quest" of the "Northern Expeditions" even Seatin did not find it and restarted the game

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% 😉
How can u hav 4 tier5c when I’m can only hav 3 not that it a big deal for me just wondering yes I’m use lvl 60
Sigil most likely.

I had Iceman 5/65, Doom 5/55, spider man stark 4/55, Lc 4/55, Spider Agent 5/45.
Was good till CWMM get unestruct. after that she start every fight with undestruct active.
So fights end after first or second sp1. I couldn't even scratch her because of undestruct.

STARKtech

can we enter master difficulty in omega without collecting 5 master shades

Gomezlink

The most complicated thing was the Thing at the beginning, the rest was smooth, Diablo easy with SS, havock, sinister with guillotine 99, nick of Domino and Mephisto easily melted Captain Marvel ...

My team
guillotine 99
Supreme Symbiont
Mephisto
Domino
Archangel

You have to collect all 5 shades from difficulty to unlock Omega for those difficulty.

I would recommend reading the abilities of Captain Marvel and finding out why she becomes "unestruct" and how you can remove "unestruct" from her. The fight should be very easy for a 4/55 Dr Doom.....

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?).

How is one supposed do it Jesus... I won't be able to even do master I only have 5/50s

It's supposed to be hard. That's the point. There's several difficulties, if you can't do one then you need to drop down a difficulty and then come back later with better roster, more skill or more resources.

I think 31 fights for epic were ok but rest I think should have been 15-18 fights on week 6

I mean, they're going to be master quality fights ya know. They're not throwing 40k prestige champs at you.

Also, take a look at the rewards. The rewards for week 6 are far greater because they pose a far greater challenge. Like with every single piece of content in this game, at some point you progress to a point that is too hard and you hit a wall that you need to prepare to overcome.

Have I missed the conversation part about why the team rating suggestion for the difficulty level is so misleading?
Taking a team of 12,500-ish into a fight and your first opponent is a 5* Thing catches you a little off guard

Rating suggestions are often misleading, especially in side events

so do you die from the special attack? her sp1 is pretty easy to dex. try some duels to practice. this is no different from the final bosses of master eq

I think master could be doable, but you'd need to be decently skilled

no offense, but with that roster, that's completely a you problem. take a look at some boss rush guides or read up on cmm. or just wait out the indestructible

Only the boss will be changed every week or all the defenders will change every week ??

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

Looking forward to seeing the footage of your itemless run posted here when it comes out. Remember, Kabam doesn't have to remove the option to use items in order to do something itemless.

Yeah. Let’s see if my phone can record such a long run. I tend to get dropped inputs once in awhile when I record. Might need to change it soon but can’t find something that catches my eye.

Why doesn’t the panels of the 5 difficulties of BossRush Quests show any indicator of 100% COMPLETED for any of the Levels ?
There is no way to tell which ones you've done (or not done yet) unless you go into the Edit Team screen and then go into looking at the Rewards from there and see whether there is a Checkmark inside there or not.

ALSO, no clarification yet as to why Announcement suggests 7 overall weeks (5 weeks plus another 2 for final Omega), yet the Timer Countdown in game shows a duration off 8 weeks (56 days). Sept 2nd for Omega to drop, plus 2 weeks to do Omega, so should end Sept 16th (not Sept 23rd as in Announcement) ??

Why is there no boss rush in game for me?, no update available either.
