Do you have a specific shelter you won't stop before reaching? A limit for how many sparks you'll spend before leaving? Do you base it on how much health and supplies you have at each shelter?
I'm curious to see if everyone's just going all out for the summit every time, which might be why the mission has such a reputation for being difficult.
I try to make it at least to the second floor. The end of level elevator for the first floor has quite a large number of boxes.
Well... I don't USE sparks on mount Krampus. Partially because I have none....
my spark limit on mount krampus is 0.
I have 3 and I won't use em in an optional mission. I play the mission because I need to hone my skills somehwere near hard content, and this IS hard content.
this has caused lots of frustration because I usually die (with no ER) on the second arena. oh, what did I say, usually. I always die there.
I go until we only have 1-2 people on our team. But if we have a full team and seem sloppy, I will take off before the boss. I don't like spending over a spark, because I don't want to run out before I have enough coal for my hot cocoa bomb.
I stop at the mission screen, choose "Save Winterfest!" instead, and happily keep my one remaining spark
I'm using a plan that someone posted on the forums, but I don't know where it is. Anyways, here's how it goes. I solo the first arena and just repeat that until I get better at it. So far, I have managed to pass the first arena with just the ER on advance. When I can do that arena with no revs, then I move on to the next arena and try again. But if I am with a competent party, I try to go to the third or higher. The second part is a different story.
People even with 300 sparks reduced to 0 after just 50 runs.
All the way. Gotta use my sparks on something although I rarely use them now.
Given my experience from the few runs I've attempted, whenever I decide to ragequite from a BS, lag-induced death. This usually happens in the first room or two.
(Seriously, this mission is terrible.)
Until either:
1) We finish.
2) We all die like twice and decide it's not worth it.
3) 2+ people leave for whatever reason.
Every time I say I will stop early when I am 100% sure I will not use a spark... every time I go to the boss and use 1+ spark(s). So my answer is the end.
I base it on how many times I've been run over by a wheel.
Those wheels are actually the deadliest thing on the mountain for a high-ping player...
@Healero and Annilation
I have 317 bound sparks at this moment (previously 429 before update), and got enough mats to get 3 - 4 weapon re-skin.
Now, would you two stop bragging and stop assuming?
I know I will be ridiculed as well.
Totally depends on the teammates... if they are skillful and willing to go on, I will follow.
If they are weak well then bye~
ps: I used about 120 sparks already and the drop rate was terrible enough to not get me a single reskin.
Useless trinkets far outweigh reskinned junk I can't heat
ALL THE WAY
