I feel like a total noob for making this thread, but i was wondering, what is the best way to prepare for events? because i lose EVERY time i go.
thx for those who help  

Dude your chances of winning an event are insanely low.
Mainly the fact that there are laggers, cheaters, and also kids with superman wifi..
I have been participating in events for like 3 months now and have only won 4 events,
but when I participated in pc era events for a week I won 12 ec..
events are somewhat unfair on era imo :[

Yea, Faz3 is right. I used to play events a lot, and I used to win a lot of them, considering there weren't as many laggers and cheaters as there is now. The best way to win is to try and only play the events such as Rush, Trivia, Tricky Tiles, and the Chance events. These are the best events to play nowadays because of the major lag from players..  

dangit, never gonna be able to buy my true love... <katana3  

For Races:

Try it! If you aren't in the lead, keep going, that way you could improve your time. Most of the races are won because the winners have memorized the course, and know exactly which direction to go at a precise time. Once you get a decent understanding of the course, you should be able to finish within the top few. If you appear to be in first and lose, don't get upset, you have just made tremendous progress. What some people aren't aware of is that you need a full head length lead in order to win. I believe the translucent effect causes some lag on the other players, causing them to appear slightly behind their actual position.

If you haven't noticed, a large majority of events are races, so if you could master those, you could possibly win at least 1 ec per day.

You poor player

I liked events back then because some of them required more strategy and skill. Many of them are gone.

First off. Joining non-ec events are good. Not only do you earn some money from them, but they are a good practice event. You can join an event like Crab Wrestling (this is currently my most favourite), Last Man Standing, or Classic Killers to understand how it works and develop a strategy for it.

In Crab Wrestling
The start of the match is a bit of luck involved here. Make sure you avoid really crowded areas such as the middle. If you're aggressive, attack players who don't seem to be aggressive or aware of the situation. Attacking players who are currently busy with another target can make things easier too.

Once there are less players. You can choose to wait until enemies die or attack them. Attacking them is the more risky side. So you can choose to attack enemies who are busy with someone else. As in sparring, you know that the "player at the bottom area has the advantage". The same rules apply here. Attacking upward has more reach than the player attacking downward. This isn't graal classic. It's similar but played differently. Attacking horizontally has some slight reach upward. Keep that in mind. It other wise boils down to graal classic like sparring. If you've got classic spar skills. Then it shouldn't be too much of a problem.

In Last man Standing

Make sure you have at least these items with you
-A good combat spar gun
-Grenades (napalm strongly recommended)
-Food/healing

Some optional but quite useful items
-A wide spread range gun (as primary or secondary weapon)
-High damage gun (secondary if the freeze rate is high)
-Traps

An extremely popular yet very frustrating event. There are 3 maps (I think). 2 that have walls and 1 that is one huge box. The beginning is for you to decide which place to hang out. You may get hurt during the countdown. So heal up if you got hurt. Healing items have reduced healing value. So make sure you use high heal value items. You can choose whether to team up or go alone. Both have their risks. Teaming up has the chance of getting betrayed or some player just wiping out your entire team causing a mess.

If you teamed up.
Stay with your team if there is walls. I recommend choosing team if you get an L shaped wall at the top right corner. If you got an L shape at the bottom left corner, I wouldn't say choosing teams would be that safe. There is a risk of getting hurt by your team mates. So be very careful. If you leave your team and head somewhere else, your team may target you by accident if you come back. Be careful there.

If you went solo.
The challenge here is finding the right spot that can help you survive. Go for areas with less bullets flying around. Hanging near thick walls may help. Be warned though as there are grenade spammers. Heal spam won't help you outlast a bullet storm easily. You have brief delay and some freeze rate. If you've got constant bullets flying at you, don't spam heal while letting those bullets hit you. Get out of the way, and heal if it's safe enough. Don't be afraid to shoot. If there's someone about to die and they're near you, kill them. Shooting can also block off paths so that you can survive a bit longer.

Near end match
You've got few players left. Prioritize your targets. Look at what guns your enemies are holding. Kill enemies with deadly guns when they are distracted or when you have the chance.

Did you get teamed?
It's annoying and it happens. Staying at corners while make enemies block off your escape paths. Walls are both dangerous and protective. The middle has more escape paths. But you're well open for getting attacked. Dealing with 2 enemies is difficult. Attack the enemy that is in good range for you to attack. Don't panic. But don't take your time too long. You can always resort to napalm spamming. It's nooby method. But that's era.

The 1 vs 1
This is where it starts to get into skills. But it can still get unfair when your enemy starts napalm spamming. Remember the sparring rule in era. Player at bottom has advantage. Do your best when sparring. Enemies sometimes run off to the corner wall and heal. Use your grenades as a finisher or to attack them if they're hiding behind walls.Traps are high risk but can also be high reward. If you manage to trap them at close distance. They will get stunned. It's your chance to attack them. Be warned. They sometimes get glitched up and can attack while "trapped". They won't be able to move for a bit though.

Increase your chances of winning this event by using a brand new ipad.

Classic Killers

I don't do this event a lot. This game has turned more into a rocket death match. Have an artillery weapon equipped if you have one. Artillery can harm players. You will need lots of healing items. Don't be surprised when you lose most of them after the event.

Safe spots
The NPC enemy ai has a simple pattern. The player they target is simple. Obviously they target the player closest to them. But if players are equal distance to it, the NPC enemy will target the enemy based on direction. The player at the top has high priority target rate. It works like this.
__1
2 E 3
__4

The E is where the enemy NPC is. In this case, the classic noob. It targets enemy based on the number order. For example, if 1 and 2 are equal distance with the E. E will attack 1 first. If 2, 3 and 4 are equal distance to E. E will attack 2 first.

So the top is less safe than the bottom in terms of the noob targetting AI. But what you also have to worry about is players with artillery weapons.
This event is a bit more of luck here. So good luck surviving it. Just remember to use your artillery.

If you Copy & Paste it, I'd love to see that "(I may use this post into a thread)" part  

Use skinny way in hard 2. I wil take month to be great at it but u will be able to win it for 6 seconds and make ppl think u hack :3 like it?

In lms never team v.v stay in the middle dodge and napalm lol

>_< don't be giving out our secrets lol jk these are some helpful tips I wish I got when I was first starting out but I managed to figure these out on my own and some tips from yogy and other good event players.

Don't you guys think it's time for some new events to be added to the event bot not just to the events house because they are hardly hosted or atleast when I'm on.  

P.s. NOT MUSICAL CHAIRS

And not luck lol xd

I see no point in lucky tower :/ people join it only when its for ec but when its for money there like 4 ppl in it :/ yea i checked
