Harvest of the Insecticons Event Banner
An Event (Episode) is a limited themed occurrence which offers special rewards that include new and more powerful character cards and weapons. It consists of encountering and battling powerful "bosses" alone or with help. During the "Covert Operations" a new type of event was introduced: Campaign Episodes:
"In the new Campaign Episode you must bring you strongest deck of cards and fight your way through increasingly difficult waves of enemies and bosses!
There are 3 Episode Campaigns; Easy, Medium and Hard. Each Campaign consists of a series of battlefields and missions, each of which becomes tougher while you progress through the campaign. The tougher the enemies, the more points and rewards you earn.
Defeated enemy cards can be captured using Energon Nets and Energon Chains. Use these captured cards to improve your deck, level up your cards and complete your Cyberdex. Capturing cards also grant you more points and give extra rewards!
Each Campaign has an unique boss that is an Evolution Card. Clear the battlefields to reach these bosses and defeat them. Then you can capture the card and evolve the card up. On the Hard campaign the battlefields from 5 and up each feature the Evolution Card boss, and the higher the battlefield the higher the capture chance!
Your accumulated points total gives you a leaderboard position. At the end of the event, your final ranking grants you rewards."
