Cup Heroes Ball Cupping Guide – Complete Ball Event
COLORED BALL EVENT
There are 2 objectives when playing this event and 1 detail that must be considered and aware of. The detail to note is that there is a 33% chance that coloured balls will drop onan enemy kill. Only 1 skill card and perk can influence this amount. That being said you have 2 objectives: First, to understand the amount of enemies/ nodes per map. Second, to understand how to maximize the ball count that you receive.
Provided is the enemy/node count for each wave:
I have gathered data on the number of enemies, and the number of nodes ( that is how many groups you have to kill ) for every map type, the enemies will be listed first and the nodes second, in the format E / N
wonder wood – 49 / 20
wild west – 39 / 19
interstate – 47 / 21
village – 35 / 18
shipyard – 53 / 21
castle – 37 / 18
egypt – 63 / 23
sea – 62 / 24
snow – 55 / 20
village 2 – 65 / 28
enigmatic land – 65 / 23
desert – 53 / 21
otherworld – 37 / 18
seaside – 61 / 24
midnight mountains – 55 / 20
volcano – 41 / 18
dungeon – 62 / 20
graveyard – 53 / 19
underworld – 65 / 22
With this data, we can see that the map with the most enemies is: underworld, village 2, and enigmatic land. However, I would say that Underworld is significantly better than the other two, as far as colored ball farming, due to having the lowest node count. This means you complete it quicker and can farm more efficiently.
Now we look at the best hero for the job. In reality, the only skill card you need for this is the balls multiplier and mammons multiplier boost perk. Due to this, you want to always use mammon on an extremely easy wave level in the underworld. Your only objective is to constantly roll for the ball multiplier as it will add an extra 3x or 4x multiplier gate. **You can use other heroes and try to roll a multiplier boost card, because you can get it twice, but it is inconsistent and too random. The most reliable would be Mammon.
HIGH SCORE COLLECT THEM ALL EVENT
This one is a lot simpler and you only need patience, a refridgerator, and a phone that can handle high work loads. I will not get into the cheating portions of it, i will only discuss how you can reasonably get the highest score possible.
I will write them in steps:
- Make sure your chest and boots are maxed or close to max in level (max is 160).
- Unequip your weapon and gloves
- Make sure the warrior ring, collector hat, and collector boots are equipped (chest up2u)
- Choose either eiva or mammon (mammon is best but will be slower to clear than eiva)
- Go to any chapter that you don’t get 1 shot in between 170 and 200 (remember that underworld is the best map for b011z)
- Make sure to pick balls on the hit card PREWAVE (that is your only time to ever get it)
- Play the game and hope your phone doesn’t explode
BUG NOTICE
The game can not handle the large amount of balls you will acquire so 2 things might happen:
The balls dropped from cup will not properly reflect the balls in bank.
The negative red multiplier gate will eat 5x the amount of balls it should making you only drop like 30 balls if you have 10,000 in your cup
I feel like I have a better colored ball challenge (either maximum wave record, or total colored ball count). I believe colored balls only drop on death, and only at a 33% drop rate at that. If there is a way to get more than one colored ball from an enemy, the below strategy is not the best.
Rogue, Sunna, Cowboy, Yasuhiro (basically anyone with Bonus Multiplier and Upgrade Multipliers in deck)
Gear:
Collector Helmet – Epic (skill pick on start)
Tactician’s Boots Legendary (Free skill rerolls, extra skill select chance +6%)
Tactician’s Armor (extra skill select chance +5%)
Tactician Gloves Epic (free skill rerolls)
Tactician’s Weapon Epic (extra skill select chance +7%)
Tactician’s Ring Epic (skill pick on start, extra skill select chance +11%)
This gives you 30% extra skill selection, 2 free skill rerolls, and 2 skills pick at the start.
Perks/Skills cards
Nothing needed.
Character level isn’t necessary, just enough to clear up to Wave 14 of Seaside – Easy or Sea – Easy
Strategy:
As fast as possible get both the multiplier cards by burning all the balls you collect each wave down to between 100-200 with refresh rolls.
Bonus Multiplier appears when you are low on balls in inventory, which is best used on Wave 14, which has 12 enemies (the most in any single wave). It can show up any time, so use those refresh rerolls to find it and keep the inventory low.
This will give you the best absolute chance to get the most dropped colored balls in one wave with the highest multipliers.
It also is the easiest way to get into the grind as you don’t need to have a really high-level character or any permanent perks.
This strategy let me get 38K+ colored balls in one wave (with a doubling at the end of the challenge), and a total of 300K colored balls after playing in my free time over a bunch of challenges.
