Explorers! It was once again unexpected, but Ludia just dropped another new Strike Event featuring Raptors called A Step Ahead! Our recent findings had revealed several potential Strike Events (more information here) and somehow this one (like the previous one) had been hidden from us!

*Beware, this is clearly the most difficult one we have experienced so far!*

This Strike Event is a Rare One, which means that it is a quite difficult 7 step event. While it may be easy for some players, it will reveal more difficult to others. It will certainly be more difficult than the other ongoing Standard Strike Event (more information here). Therefore, here comes our complete walk-through!

This Strike Event began on August 15th at 10:00 a.m. EDT and will end on August 20th at 10:00 a.m. EDT.

Enemy List

Strategy

This new Strike Event might be the hardest that we have seen so far. You will be facing mostly high level Epics, but fear not, this short guide should help you clear this without too much hassle!

The theme for this event is: high speed Dinos. Fast Dinosaurs are weak to slowing Dinos; i.e. Dinos with moves like Thagomizer, Decelerating Impact, Bellow, Slowing Impact and Superiority Strike. Among those moves, Superiority Strike is the best of them all, since you will be facing Monolophosaurus, Blue, Pyroraptor and Koolasuchus, which are all fast Dinos that debuff your Dinosaurs (decrease your damage), so Cleansing will help a lot.

Coincidentally, this week’s Event Rare Dinos (more information here) are very well fit for defeating them, especially Tuojiangosaurus and Wuerhosaurus, which both have Superiority Strike to Cleanse the Damage Debuff while Slowing. If you don’t have them at a decent Level, fear not, this event lasts for 5 days, so you’ll have enough time to get the event Dinos and maybe even create the Kentrosaurus on Saturday which will help a lot with the event.

So remember, get one of the Stegosaurs, use Superiority Strike against Blue, Koolasuchus, Monolophosaurus and Pyroraptor, and you could use Thagomizer against the others who don’t debuff on turn one. Another great Strategy with Wuerhosaurus and Kentrosaurus is to Instant Cripple on turn one to soften up the first hit, which could be a rampage or pounce, then Superiority/Thagomizer on turn 2 depending on the Dino.

Parting Words

This Rare Strike Event is quite a difficult one compared to what we have seen before. This is a very good indicator of the difficulty level that we can expect for Epic Strike Event, which will be incredibly difficult!

Were you successful? We hope you were and that this guide somewhat helped you through this Standard Strike Event!
