Clash of Critters Carnival Rush Guide: High Scores and Rewards

To maximize your ticket earnings in the Clash of Critters Carnival Rush event, alternate between hitting flashing multiplier targets on the pinball table and managing your Critter squad to clear zombie waves before your team is defeated.

Table Strategy: Building Score Multipliers

Your final ticket payout is tied directly to your overall score on the pinball board. Firing shots without a clear target reduces efficiency and wastes precious active multiplier windows.

• Target Priority: Look for flashing lights on the bumpers and lanes. Hitting these specific targets in sequence triggers score multipliers, high-value jackpots, and temporary "Rush" state boosts.
• Ball Control: If the ball moves too quickly to aim accurately, trap it against the flipper cradle. Holding the ball resets your timing so you can align precise shots at key bumpers instead of guessing on fast returns.
• Offense vs. Defense Rhythm: Switch your focus based on your current squad condition. Pursue jackpot shots when your health is secure, but shift focus to clearing nearby enemies the moment zombies press close to your position.

Squad Defense: Handling Zombie Waves

Pinball skill generates points, but your Critter squad keeps the run active by surviving zombie attacks. A wiped squad ends the run early and reduces your total score bonus.

• Exploit Elemental Weaknesses: Check the event entry screen for active elemental vulnerabilities among the enemy hordes. Swap in Critters that match those elemental counters to increase kill speed.
• Balance Squad Skills: Combine single-target damage dealers for heavy boss zombies with area-of-effect (AoE) attack Critters to sweep fast-moving zombie groups.
• Invest in Event Counters: Upgrade the specific Critters you rely on for current event weaknesses. Higher damage output lets you spend more time aiming at table multipliers rather than scrambling to defend.

Event Currency: Ticket Farming and Shop Priorities

Event tickets are spent in the Carnival Rush shop, but currency totals do not carry over indefinitely once the event concludes. Calculate your projected earnings based on remaining event days to spend your balance effectively.

To accelerate ticket gains, complete daily event missions before starting long table runs. Many daily objectives award direct ticket multipliers for completing simple criteria, such as clearing a set number of zombie waves or hitting designated bumper counts.
