do we only get one snowball each day
Somewhere around 120-150 per day. And some more from each defeated opponent. If you do not spend topaz, then in 3-5 days you will be able to defeat 23-25 enemies and that's it. This will give you 95-120 tokens, for which you can buy either a cheap artifact or several cards in the store. At the same time, the remaining two weeks of events will not help you in any way. Even if you buy boosters for all the snowballs, the most you can do is get a small chance to kill another opponent (say, if you are very lucky with the crits), which will give you another dozen tokens for which you can buy... fertilizer :)
Actually, everything :)
Yes, you're right. Exactly the same value :) And, since we are talking about mathematics here, I will explain why it will not be possible to achieve new results after 3-5 days. Prices for characteristics and things are growing exponentially. So as soon as you get the first 3-4 sources of the resource and miss 2-3 days (including boosters), you will not get any further. It will take several tens of days to get the next level. So you don't have to persist - if you have enough for an artifact, take it and rejoice. If not, take the cards.
I don't quite understand what exactly you want to do, but keep in mind - tokens are reset at the beginning of the event. It is at the beginning - after the end that you can still buy something in the store with the remaining ones. But at the beginning of the event, his tokens and all his progress are reset to zero.
No. I just finished two more times. Once with a perfect set. You can't get further than 25-26 anyway. And this is about 115 tokens. To buy something decent, you need to spend topaz, otherwise there is no way. Look at them, they double the characteristics at once! Damn cheat :) I would also like to have a stock of topaz for twenty thousand to be able to prepare :) And so - you will have to do without delicious artifacts for * 1.15 something.
Sadness! :)
Oh, yeah. Actually, the best strategy is to take Tap, immediately buy boosters for all the snowballs to raise the Loot rating, defeat five more opponents to get the remaining sources of resources, buy a boost again or wait a day. Raise all the characteristics and repeat the process 4 times :)
As for the best set of things... My best result is a set of crits. A few Chill for the crits. Multiple Targets to boost the crits for each attack. Several Coffees for the heal by crites. Pebbles for stun by crit. A few Shields to protect and something to attack. And if you collect all this, you can beat two more opponents! :D What will give us, in the end, a dozen fertilizers :)
