Chinese New Year

Here is the event page of the Chinese New Year update. Go to this page if you want to find out more about the update Chinese New Year. The event consists of 12 tiers, with the last two being an exclusive event armor called the White Hero Armor and the new exclusive event weapon, the Dragon's Breath Cannon. This event has ENDED.

Good Fortune Points
These need to be collected in order to progress through the event and unlock tier prizes. They can only be acquired by hitting or killing any "Nian" beast.


 * Estimated time to complete all tiers without using any Hero armors and making 5k a match, or 75,000 an hour, = 47.8 hours.
 * Estimated time to complete all tiers using either the Black or Red Hero armor = 4.7 hours, which is 10x faster then without them, assuming you make 5k a match, which is 50,000 with the any of the 2 armors mentioned earlier equipped.
 * Realistic time for non-paying/hacking players: 5k per match, 12 matches per hour (including time between matches), 3585000 - 4/5 (870,000) points required at normal GF point collection rates (as you will have 5x points for the last tier) = 60,000 per hour until 2715000 points reached = 45.25 hours, plus app loading times, rage quitting games filled with AE gear, changing equipment, connection lost/migrating host etc.

Trivia

 * Nian (年) means year. The Nian (年) creature is a dragon-like beast that haunts Chinese New Year in hopes of bringing misfortune and despair. However, its merciless intimidation becomes cowardice at the sight of red and the sound of firecrackers. This is why most Chinese New Year attire is red.
