Another thing is making sure you have enough cubes stocked up; either from previous events, or just conserving as much as you can (sniping for majority of your points...which has become a bit harder now as everyone has pretty strong decks.)

And the last thing, this event was a lot crazier than the last. I don't expect the next event to be as hard as this one. Of course that will depend on the episode rewards on the next event. Just keep at it, you'll get there eventually. Also it never hurts to join us in chat, we're all friendly and open to help each other out :D

No purchases are needed to make Tier 2. I've been a free player from the beginning. I also know my limits. I got my first Tier 2 with a DP of a little over 7k. You just need to play it smart. I would dare say that it is harder work to be a free player in Tier 2 then pay player in Tier 1. If you really want to spend then get the free Mobacoins from downloading other games. It's essentially guaranteed now that you get an raid card.

You don't really need a stock pile of reserve cubes. I started last event with 0 and got Tier 2. This event I started with 75 but did not really use it. Having reserves does make it easier.

Like Drifand said, this event was crazier so that did not help. Follow Drifand's advice and pace yourself. The hardest work comes from Day 1 and the 2nd+3rd to last days of the event. Farm day 1 and 2. You should have around 15o-2oo cubes in reserve by now. Don't worry about ranking yet. Push for Tier 2 on 3rd to last day. Cement it on the 2nd to last day. Take ranks in steps. I aim for 5oo-1ooo rank increase from time to time and keep checking to see what the bottom of the next tier is.

I think the biggest thing would be getting good allies from your time zone. The biggest time zones of when there is movement is around 6-9am, 11am-1pm and 3-5pm PST. Some of my allies were going till past midnight so I stayed with them to about 1am.

I'm assuming that you are already using MTM cards and the recommend button to stack your list. Just remember to also equip your character with their matching, maxed out weapons to take advantage of the bonus.

Keep track of your attack power against certain bosses. I was able to hit Brawl and Onslaught for 14 mil. Attacks against the Doc went down to 9-1o mil. Nemesis was being hit for 7-9 mil. Bonus hits would sometimes net me higher. This helps you to know what to snipe.
