I've hit Tier 2 for 9 out of 10 events following the tips below. You can hit Tier 2 playing free (as long as you have a full deck of L4 characters, preferably MTMed), but spending $20 or so will make it much easier!! My one fail was an event where I missed the 1st day and half, so my second tip is probably my most recommended!

1) at least a couple of MTM raid cards make hitting Tier 2 much easier. If you can spend a few bucks, do so and do it first thing

2) Play as hard as possible on Day 1. If you play it right, you'll end Day 1 with significantly more energon and battle cubes than you started with. Aim to finish Day 1 in the top 500 at set this as target for each day after

3) Don't have deadwood in your ally list. Some people think it is better to have just 10-20 allies that you know/trust than to have a full list of people that you're not sure of. Only 1/3 requests comes from this list, so the more confidence you have in your allies the more more likely you'll get helped

4) There's nothing wrong in sniping, but hit your strong allies ASAP as they are the ones that will help you across the line

5) Check in regularly in order to farm cubes

6) Scan when possible (aim to level up 1-2 times per day minimum and ensure this is done at sensible times in terms of battle cube recharge times) but keep at least 3 spaces in your request list for allies to seed

I'm sure others have tips too - good luck
