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.

hopefully it isn't insanely difficult. Although, considering the T5CC, its probably going to be abyss level for epic omega

No way its at Abyss level. I suspect the difficulty will come from shear number of complex fights. In a normal boss rush you only have to counter 6 fights with your team of 5. In this Omega boss rush you will have to counter 30ish fights with your team of 5. Countering that many complex fights with only 5 champions will be the hard part in my opinion.

So we will have to do all the 5 Master Alpha difficulty to get access to the Master Omega difficulty ?
Do we have to do the 5 Heroic Alpha difficulty to get access to the Heroic Omega difficulty too ? even if we already did the 5 Master or Epic Alpha difficulty ?

MaxGaming

Will the rewards reset over time during one of these?

No questions here. Looks brilliant. Will see tomorrow in more details. :-)

It depends. Boss Rushes tend to be moderately difficult. The one that @DNA3000 participated in was fun because of the creativity of the Nodes. Generally, I find that those are more appealing than simply increasing Health and Attack alone.

No way they are just gonna give away 2 full t5b like that

I'm hoping it's not a typo

DNA3000

Rewards look great...but lets hows the dificulty and nodes on thos bosses before giving final verdict

No matter what the difficulty looks like, some will think its too hard, some will think its fine, and some will think its boring (or at least make that claim).

Based on the rewards, I think the normal rushes will be comparable to (maybe slightly harder than) past rushes, and omega is likely to be something completely different. Omega's rewards seem way too high for the normal boss rush difficulty we've seen in the past.

In every Boss Rush, there's been that fight. I'm wondering if we'll see five separate that fights and one Omega That Fight that tops them all.

Keep in mind the Omega Boss Rush won't land until September (6 weeks from tomorrow)

You mean 5 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?

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?).

Kabam Miike

¿Are there energy requirements?

1 per step. So very low for Weeks 1-5, but 6 will be different depending on the difficulty.

The fights will correspond to approximately the final boss of the equivalent Event Quest. So... Yeah, it's not gonna be easy!
