Delete post THIS IS A SPINNER or cancel THIS IS A SPINNER metadata **MOD UPDATE 11/18/19:** > *Originally posted by **[BeardedOrange](/forums/727066/topics/1873680?page=2#13280888)**:* > Hey everyone, we apologize for not having details about how your Arena Rank/Score influences starting positions. After checking with the development team I can confirm this is an intended feature and starting position in Showdown does work the same as Clash for both Elite & Standard Showdown events. Once again, we are very sorry for not having this available in our initial announcement. I will be updating those announcements ASAP. > > Also, we are aware of an issue that is causing the new skills (Bunker, Burn, & Enlarge) to not receive the intended boost in Showdown. A fix for this issue will not be ready for the duration of this event but we will make sure to have it resolved before any future Showdown Challenges. Thank you all for your awareness, patience, and understanding. ___ **Standard Boomhauer Showdown & Elite Zapp Brannigan Showdown Challenges will begin on Monday, November 18th @ 18:00 UTC and will end on Friday, November 22nd @ 18:00 UTC.** These Showdown challenges will be replacing the regularly scheduled Clash for the week of 11/18/19 - 11/22/19. ![](https://cdn1.kongcdn.com/assets/files/0002/7110/AT_SHOWDOWN_Promo_111219.png) ___ For those that are unfamiliar with the event, [Showdown Challenges](https://animationthrowdown.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360032689192--NEW-EVENT-SHOWDOWN-CHALLENGE-First-event-starts-Tuesday-9-3-) are similar to a [Clash](https://kon.gg/throwdownclash) with a few variations. Instead of a Battleground Effect (BGE) that boosts a select set of combos, **a Showdown BGE will provide a 100% boost to the stats and skills of a specific input card and *all combos created by it.*** The input card may be a Character or an Object card. The BGE will ***not*** boost Power Cards. Just like in Clashes, the Global Battleground Effect does not apply. While Clashes are a Secret Fight Club only event, **players of all levels and experience will be able to participate in Showdown Challenges.** Each Showdown event will have two tiers, splitting players into groups based on their arena rank. | **Arena Rank** | **Showdown Tier** | **Showdown Buff** | |-|-|-| | Arena Rank 1 - 10 | Standard | Boomhauer | | Arena Rank 11+ | Elite | Zapp Brannigan | The BGE will affect all rarities of the boosted card. The Standard Showdown will have a BGE that boosts **Boomhauer** and the Elite Showdown will have a BGE that boosts **Zapp Brannigan**. **Each day of the event will provide 6 energy, and there will be no refills.** ___ ### How will scoring, ranks and rewards work? Scoring in Showdown battles will be very similar to Clash: the difficulty and points you earn per battle will increase as you go up in level. Winning will award the battle reward points displayed for that level and will advance you one level up. Losing a battle will award points for the *previous* level and will demote you down one level. Additionally players will be divided into groups of 100, each with its own ranking! Battle to collect as many points as you can, climb the ranks and reap the benefits. There will be no milestones in this event, but due to the divided rankings it will be much easier to obtain rank rewards. **Let us know if you have any questions.** metadata Nice! Glad I didn't fuse my Zapps. :D metadata Any word on what the rewards will be? metadata > _Originally posted by **[mistje](/forums/726779/topics/1872469?page=1#13277545):**_ > Nice! Glad I didn't fuse my Zapps. :D Haaa i fused the singles, but didnt quad fuse, so still got a pair of Zapps! metadata Will this replace the Clash next week? So the next Clash won't be for 3 weeks (after Drunk Rumble)? metadata > _Originally posted by **[mkesaber](/forums/726779/topics/1872469?page=1#13277550):**_ > > _Originally posted by **[mistje](/forums/726779/topics/1872469?page=1#13277545):**_ > > Nice!

It very much depends on who is in the same group of 100 as you. I don’t think they way these groups have been selected in the past has been fair. metadata > _Originally posted by **[nikkiandshawn](/forums/726779/topics/1872469?page=1#13277549):**_ > Any word on what the rewards will be? Almost certainly Zapp for the elites, like Brian was the 1st time. metadata > _Originally posted by **[ReedS67](/forums/726779/topics/1872469?page=1#13277552):**_ > Will this replace the Clash next week?

It very much depends on who is in the same group of 100 as you. I don’t think they way these groups have been selected in the past has been fair. I like the showdown better than clashes. And random is fair. If you stacked the top 100 ranked arena players together in 1 group, do you have any idea how angry the bottom 10 would be? Angry whales make big waves. The only thing I'm going to be sad about is the dearth of Zapps to be seen. I've got 2 doubles, but a lot of decks will only have 1 lonely quad. metadata This post has been removed by an administrator or moderator metadata > _Originally posted by **[GeneralUsername](/forums/726779/topics/1872469?page=1#13277562):**_ > post removed I can't hear you, could you please turn up your font? metadata > And random is fair. It’s not random.

If I remember correctly it filled the big void between rumble end and next clash. Now it's replacing clash. After all the f*ckups of late I'd expect us to gain showdown but not at the expense of a clash. metadata > *Originally posted by **[BeardedOrange](/forums/727066/topics/1872469?page=1#13277538)**:* > **Standard Boomhauer Showdown & Elite Zapp Brannigan Showdown Challenges will begin on Monday, November 18th @ 18:00 UTC and will end on Friday, November 22nd @ 18:00 UTC.** These Showdown challenges will be replacing the regularly scheduled Clash for the week of 11/18/19 - 11/22/19. > > **Let us know if you have any questions.** Why is it replacing Clash? Why not do the event inbetween Clashes? This is a terrible decision. PLEASE RECONSIDER! metadata Clash > metadata Can you let us know now what rules you'll be changing halfway through the showdown? Just to get the arguments out of the way now. metadata Clash sucks so I don't mind it being replaced metadata “The Brian Showdown Challenge will begin on Tuesday September 3rd and will end on Friday September 6th. As with most of our events, the start and end time for Showdown Challenges will be 18:00 UTC. Each day of the event will provide 8 energy, and there will be no refills. More details below!” Why can’t we start clash Monday and this showdown Tuesday like last time? metadata If it replaces clash AND there are no milestones then EVERY rank should be rewarded SOME SMS and mythic object stones metadata It was said during last showdown that you would not replace clash. I would rather you run both events simultaneously, I'm not a fan of clash being cancelled. metadata Boo!!! Please don’t replace clash. This none sense, again, is frustrating. metadata Run the Showdown and Clash!! Stop all this giving with the one hand and taking with the other. I want my Mythic Milestones next week. « Prev
