Hello everyone this question is actually kind of dire.
Ok, so my sister and I decided to do both of the cake missions today, on Total Caketastrophe, she died early on and I couldn't rev her so when we finished the mission, she didn't get any cake slices. I assumed that it was because she was dead for a long time and so we started the second mission, a Gremlin in Knead. She lived at about 2% health for half the time and basically didn't attack any monsters except a few, but she stayed alive until the end of the mission, but when we got back to Haven, she STILL didn't get any cake slices and I was perplexed by this. Do any of you know why she didn't get any cake slices and how I can help her get some in the future? I know that this is only the first day, but she is freaking out about not getting the prismatic frosted helm. (which both her and I deeply treasure and want)
Thank you guys so much!

P.S. I need to sell a Gold wolf Helm and an Iron Wolf helm. Gold =45-50kcr and Iron = 35-40kcr.

Same rank?

Are you both the same rank? If you are a defender elite and she is a vanguard then you both have separate missions you have to complete.

Has she already run the mission today? If so she will not get cake slices for completing the mission a second time.

Try having her start the mission and run it to completion. Cake slices are awarded upon mission completion, and you have to be there since the lobby to get them.

Thanks

The problem is, she can't complete the missions by herself because she is a Defender, she only has an Avenger and a Shadowtech Alchemer MkII. So are you saying that I can't help her with those missions because if I do, then I won't get cake slices? Is there a way for both of us to complete the mission together and get the cake slices, and when you say that there is different missions for different ranks, does that mean that when she starts let's say, A Gremlin in Knead by herself that the monsters will be easier because she is a lower rank then me? Thank you btw, you have been very helpful. :D

Yup.

If she's a defender then she needs to start the mission herself. You can still join her mission if she sends you an invite to it, but you won't get cake from the rewards unless you are the appropriate rank (i.e., you would need to be a defender to get rewards from her rank).

Basically you can just run each level twice. Once for the defender rank, once for the vanguard rank. Make sure that you start one lobby and that she starts the other one!

Remember, there's no added bonus for doing it on elite.
