ROBOT CHICKENS

You will see Robot Chicken’s wandering around your sidewalks and around Central Park once you start the main Questline. You simply need to double tap them twice to clear them. Once cleared you will need to wait for another batch to spawn.

The rewards you get for clearing them are as follows:

3 Feathers (Always)
1 Robot Chicken Wing* (Chance)

*won’t drop until you place Butcherbot


ROBOT TURKEYS

You will see Robot Turkeys on your sidewalks once you reach Pt 2 of the main Questline and you need to put a Character on a task to clear them. There are only 2 Characters that can do this, Hunter Bender and Dr Cahill. Simply tap on a Robot Turkey, and you’ll bring up the attack screen. On this screen you’ll see the heart Power of the Robot Turkey and the Characters you can use to take the heart Power to 0. So far the Robot Turkeys have all showed 20 Heart Power so neither Character can reduce them to 0 at their base level. It takes 3 hours for the task to complete and unless your character is at L17 or above you’ll need to do it twice to clear a Robot Turkey.

The rewards you get for clearing them are as follows:

30 Feathers (Always)
1 Robot Turkey Leg* (Always)

*won’t drop until you place Butcherbot


ROBOT SUPER TURKEYS

You will see Robot Super Turkeys on your sidewalks once you reach Pt 5 of the main Questline, only thing is they look just like the Robot Turkeys, so to identify one you’ll need click on each Turkey until you find the one that shows Robkt SuperTurkey with 35 Health Points. And just like the other turkeys you need to put a Character on a task to clear them. There are only 2 Characters that can do this, Hunter Bender and Dr Cahill. Simply tap on a Robot Super Turkey, and you’ll bring up the attack screen. On this screen you’ll see the heart Power of the Robot Turkey and the Characters you can use to take the heart Power to 0. Robot Super Turkeys have 35 Heart Power so neither Character can reduce them to 0 at any level. It takes 3 hours for the task to complete and you’ll need to repeat this until you clear a Robot Super Turkey.

The rewards you get for clearing them are as follows:

75 Feathers (Always)


NEW SPACE MISSIONS – EARTH

And we’re on our travels again, as the event brings us 6 new Space Mission to complete. And they are located on Earth, the first will unlock when you trigger the main Questline, then each subsequent mission will unlock as you complete a path on the previous one. They start off pretty easy to complete as the new enemies, which include Robot Chickens and Robot Turkeys, are weak at first, but the difficulty starts to increase at Warm A Pumpkin Pie and by the final mission, Ready To Casserole ,well let’s just say I was dead meat.

You’ll see  the new combat feathered foes below, defeating the gets you feathers, I got 1 1 per Robot Chicken defeated in Missions 5-8 and 2 per Robot Chicken defeated in Missions 9-10.

  1. Dumb waiting for breeches still. I have all the space missions including Ready to Casserole completed. Making it impossible to win without paying just makes me not want to pay even more.

    1. I used level 30 Amy, Fry, Leila and Scruffy plus level 27 Bender. Original outfits for all of them. Had a few unsuccessful runs too but I have now completed all paths with this crew.

      I targeted the chickens, turkeys, bees first as I found them easier to take down than the buggaloes. Always made sure to tap on an enemy so everyone targeted them. I stopped tapping on the enemies as each attack happened as it would then change to another enemy a lot.

      I tapped on my crew each time they were attacked to get them the Defended result. During each round, I also used their special abilities straight away instead of saving it for the next round. (Except for Leila and Bender if they had already used theirs once during the battle)

      1. Thanks for all the tips guys! I ended up going with 2 Scientists, 2 Captains and a Villain, all 30. Seems to work well. I think I could use something else in the Villain slot and be fine too.

    2. I was able to complete all paths by using 1 Influencer, 1 Scientist, 1 Captain, 1 Robot, and 1 Villain. All at level 30, barely made it a couple times but all runs successful. I tried a few times with lower level characters between levels 25-27, got wiped out fairly quickly.

  2. Another great event in my opinion. The white robo turkeys are so cute, the bigger ones … well, gross. We also got a premium scientist that is relatively affordable. We can use the event currency to buy decos, even trees, so it doesn’t go to waste.

    Event progresses well for me, i have unlocked Bender’s costume and am two hatchets away from Butcherbot. Luckily I could place his building before they changed the time when you can do it, so I was gathering material for him and Bender’s costume at the same time.

    Farming the level 25 mission for feathers. I am not sure I will get my first level 30 team before the end of the event. Have the chips, but not the cash. I read that this time, level 30 scientists “go first” so I’d rather level up my main team of captains and scientists to lvl 30 than five delivery boys (as would have been needed for the Slurm event).

    I am glad I started playing this game, even though I had issues regarding TinyCo.

  3. As usual, the drop rate is horrible. I’m still sitting at 2/10 breeches, and nothing’s happening until that gets up to 10 so I can make Hunting Bender, which will take a month at this rate.

    It would be slow enough to farm if you were guaranteed a drop, but giving you an rare chance at a drop takes all the fun out of this game.

    1. Yes, he did show up earlier for a short period after the event launched, but it’s been fixed and now he won’t appear until you hit Pt 4 of Turkey Dinner
