Very different challenge since the Tetris pieces make different formations all through the challenge. And if that wasn't rough enough, there are weird enemies to tank.
(formation blocking blocks have been removed in old buggy Tetris challenge, the below pics in post 2+3 are for posterity)

Okay, looks like this is going to be a go back to Area 1, and juice up Roborabbit, then spring forward, and let RR take care of things?
Here is what all the possible area Roborabbit nest formation set ups look like.
Area 1
Area 51
Area 101
Area 151 (1 blocked slot)
So which is best for Roborabbit?

Challenge is back.
Let's see them formations.

last time this challange came, it did nothing, as if there were no tetris blocks at all.
oh, and be weary about posting so many times in a row like that, the auto forum bot will remove them sometimes and it can even ban you!
certain things trigger a red flag; just put all that crap in one long post next time and divide it up.

The description does say Tier 2 tetris which doesn't have the annoying blocks appear every 150 areas... and I am area 275 and everything seems OK... and the Tetris formation is working this time, they had to fix it last time, and annoyingly this a challenge which needs a bit of babysitting

I confirm there are no blocks every 150 areas. In the beginning you can go fast with speed formation and just a bit of splash damage and you won't be annoyed by tetris monsters. The best formation on late areas strongly depends on which area you end up

Although I could have grabbed a few extra tokens... I decided not to bother, just ran it with a speed formation overnight and then reset in the morning, Tetris is quite an annoying objective to try and change your form when you are close to the area wall, aka can you change your form fast enough before you start dying, and then have to go back to a completely different form where it's all messed up again...

Think to do the same. Don't want to bother to optimize changing formations, besides as we know the tokens gain curve gets lower by the run-end.

is it really suuposed to put in those stupid stone blocks???

oh you knobs!!!! the screenshots are from the objective not from the challenge. only the objective t4 has the blocks. the challenge for tokens is actually muuuch easier and in par with other challenges.

I just used this near the end...everyone is L7 and any card that boosts BASE DPS is level 8 and dr. evil infection is 8.
I just used speed up to 2000, then used this formation and changed it as needed (only when they are about to not be able to beat levels anymore).

Not true. **(look at the coin counter at the far right and date. That proves it was the Challenge on that date)**
What happened is when the challenge was **first** created and put out the challenge was bugged for 98% of the time the challenge was up. (it had no Tetris pieces at all, and no special enemies, nothing at all, if was basically a Free Play objective)
The devs then "fixed it" right before the challenge expired. But they didn't.
What happened on the last 2 hours on that Thursday was what was shown as I documented it above. (most people didn't see this because they already Reset the challenge and moved on)
In other words, they fixed it to the wrong version of Tetris and I was in the challenge as they did and captured the pics right before the challenge expired.
It was repaired a few months later when the challenge popped up again.

Best trick, go to an earlier area (not just area 1) and build an uber Roborabbit DPS build.
Then G forward.
Back to the earlier area. (I was using area 300 I think, but still got to test)
It's annoying that Jiaolong's waters are not only off the Tetris grid. But also that they are random for each player.
Meaning no sharing of formations for any challenge with Jiaolong, but especially this challenge. (which is a bit random itself)

So, I start out with this formation in order to pump up Bruno (saved to slot 1)
Making sure to have Ana, Lang, and my future DPS in, and the taskers on 5 fastest abilities. Mindy+Casey+Lang for speed.
After that maxes out, I go back to area 5 (bosses have no special enemies) with this formation for good DPS. (saved to slot 2)
I'm only about 9 million idols, and still have e438 dps lol. I go to area 5 because it's less of a bother.
Just let RoboRabbit build up for a few seconds.
Then press G.
Then at max area use this formation:: (saved to slot 3)
This is a max speed formation+Rabbit. RR does the work, and the speed lets the rabbit go for a lonnnnng time. (1 enemy per area)
Make sure to have 4 taskers on the field to not waste your rabbit.

128 challenge tokens is pretty good. I got about 133 this time, even with only 9.5 million idols total.

Yeah, it's mega annoying. Maybe make it every 100 areas. But definitely try Roborabbit + Speedsters. It works pretty nice.
(but forget that Bruno stuff I posted, I found a better way because Evan+Carrpet is so potent at area 355, save the formation for when you need to reload Rabbit)
Do that, press G, then make a speedster+RR formation. You can tweak your form to get max speed every 50 areas, but it's not super necessary. (casey+mindy+propogators)

yea if rest challenges are annoying then this is just plain stupid unless can get to cap with saders whose positions don't matter like morri and whatever she reqs besides leps. I just put best saders in and put them on right spots and after getting talents bought then tm on gold o rama and afk besides few occasions where had to adjust formation to advance and had enuf after getting 200 tokens + cid. Still had over 1100 to dps cap but no thx.

Feels like getting teh Tiernan/Adina combo is best, but a full Tiernan/Jiao won't work. Best seems ot be getting that combo and the biggest buff to the DPS possible.

You dont need adina when you can use robosanta. Also, if you don't mind changing your formation a lot, Mimicking karen can still work. Also, tiernan does still effect the bottom rigt and top left corners.
I'm upset that not only do Jialong's rivers go on spots where crusaders can't be, 2 of them are on spots that NEVER can be (ie, initial RP2 slots, which are BETWEEN the tetris squares, so no tetris square can ever contain them). This means I am limited to a max of 2 puddles during the challenge without using karen or a propogator, which is frustrating.
