Greetings, Everyone! We have some updates coming to Throwdown soon and invite you all to share your feedback and suggestions about the info shared below. Thank you all for playing, we wish you all a wonderful holiday season! *** *** ### Burobu Clash We recently held the [Winter Clash](http://kon.gg/winterclash), an event which featured a special BGE that boosted a small group of winter themed combos. Thank you to those who provided their feedback and suggestions. We have another event of this style coming up very soon, but we will further review and consider all of your feedback while planning future events.  #### The Burobu Clash starts on December 24 at 18:00 UTC! This event is one day longer, **ending on December 28, 2018**. Energy will be reduced to 6 attacks per day, making the total attacks for the event the same as the previous Winter Clash. The special BGE for this event will provide a **100% boost to Attack, Health, and all Skills** to all recipes, rarities, and Power Card versions of these combos: * Medicated Stewie * Diamond Ring Lois * Solid Gold Tuxedo * Marionette Chris * Celebeartions * Borobu Addict * The Equestranauts * Slip 'n Slide Bob * Burgerboss Bob * Traumatized Dale * Shut up and Take My Money * Claw Machine * Q.T. McWhiskers  *Note: Although this image displays legendary combos only, ALL recipes, rarities, and Power Card versions of these combos will be buffed by the Burobu Clash BGE.* **Some additional information:** * Starting at level 25, enemy cards and heroes will get a 10% boost to Health, Attack, and all Skills. This boost increases by 10% every level thereafter. * The global Battleground Effect (BGE) will **not** be in effect * The defending player (your opponent) will take the first turn and there will be no sleep delay on the opponent's first played card * Combo Mastery **will** be in effect for both attackers and defenders in this event * **Only players who have reached SFC can participate.** You do not need to be *currently* in SFC. If you previously reached SFC and later dropped out, you will still be eligible to participate. This event will have the same scoring and starting matchmaking as the Winter Clash. Players will start the event at a level based on their SFC rank. Winning will move you up in difficulty and award points based on the level you defeated. Losing will move you down in difficulty and will award just as many points as you would earn if you won the previous level. The scoring is not terribly punishing if you lose a battle: **we do not recommend intentionally ranking down before the event begins. ** *** ### Holiday Swole Club  #### **Holiday Swole Club and Challenge starts on December 28, 2018! ** This Swole Club event is shorter than in the past. It will last for 2 weeks, **ending on January 11, 2019**. Although the event is shorter, it will be similar to last year’s Holiday Swole Club Event. The difficulty will be adjusted to account for the shorter timeline. As of last year, any leftover Swole Club currency or energy will automatically expire from your account-- it will not be converted into further rewards. **Edit:** To adjust the difficulty of this event's shorter duration, the hero training times have been reduced by 50%.

Gotta get mythic Nibbler into the hands of the top 100 ASAP, eh?

What about those of us that don't get the mythic? I finished 106 and would have been just as well off not playing it at all.

omgomgomgogmgomgomgomg swole swole swole :D (and another clash event :D) but only two weeks for swole??? do the training times also get adjusted?

I believe a good amount of players want our left-over swole currency to become some kind of reward.. Minimal as it may be, but something...

Ugh

@modchikopi will the research times be adjusted to reflect the 2 week timeframe? That would be helpful to know. Thanks!

So with these challenges, it seems rich, toy, vehicle, etc will not be becoming BGES in the future? Is that right?

So since you are making it 2 weeks will the training time be adjusted? Otherwise it will get much harder to build good tactics

Also next time maybe show the recipes for the cards shown when u guys make this post?

Not excited or happy about Swole. #ruined

I finished 106 and would have been just as well off not playing it at all. I guess the good thing is it looks like they are running a similar event and likely similar rewards. So, you know ahead of time to skip this event. The rest of us will take the 5 minutes it takes to play and collect those mythic stones.

do we know fir sure what shards are being awarded fir SWOLE?

Also does shorter Swole mean it might come more often?

I think it being shortened is a great thing. I'm sure they adjusted everything accordingly

Really great question -- I don't have an answer yet, but I should have more info before the event starts.

Will it be easier to at least craft a mythic

Thanks for replying @modchi I'm sure I'm not alone in stressing 1 week shorter means major training times will suffer. Could we toss a suggestion to the devs to allow us to use our research speed ups that the entire community already has a free access to, to speed up the training?

Don’t do nibbler! Do zoidberg so those of us that got half way can get the rest

No it’s been offered as much in packs

if they made swole 1 week shorter to force people to use more gems... wow.

Please, please, please make it so we can use the currency to do something other than train, because everyone ends up with way more than they could possibly use.
