Farm Pearls for the reward you want
While the Summer event is available, board the lobby ship and clear Summer Hunt to earn Summer Pearls, then spend them on the Summer banner for limited Mythics or Sunny Stars for skins and a chance at Phoenix. Choose your reward goal before farming so you know which menu to use when you return.
Board the ship and complete Summer Hunt
- Board the ship in the lobby and walk onto the Summer Hunt matchmaking pad. The pad gives you the Play Here and Find Match options for setting up your run.
Check the weather forecast before starting. Maps and weather change every hour, while Stormy weather reduces range and stuns the most expensive unit on the map. That interruption can affect your main damage dealer, so consider the conditions before committing to a long run.Playing this video connects to YouTube.
- Complete all 50 waves to finish Summer Hunt and earn its Pearl payout. A full clear also offers opportunities for Charms and special portals, giving you additional rewards to pursue alongside your currency goal.
- Spend your Pearls on the reward route that matches your goal. The Summer banner offers limited Mythics, while Sunny Stars can produce skins, Mythics or Phoenix. Use the comparison below before committing your saved currency.
Increase your Pearls and follow event objectives
Bring other players when you can: Summer Hunt grants 5% more Summer Pearls for each additional player, up to 25%. A reliable party can help you make use of that bonus while aiming for consistent clears. Balance the extra payout against whether the group can handle its card choices.
Visit Bulby (Summer), the Summer Merchant aboard the ship, if you want to exchange Gems for Pearls. The exchange has a daily cap of 5,000 Pearls. Treat it as an optional way to supplement your earnings: check how many Pearls your intended purchase needs before converting Gems you might want for other goals.
Check Summer Bingo's listed maps and board lines before planning your event objectives. The board awards event progress for first wins on its listed maps and completed lines. Use those targets to decide what to clear alongside your Hunt runs, while keeping Summer Hunt as your main Pearl farming route.
Choose the Summer banner or Sunny Stars
| Option and cost | Rewards and spending goal |
|---|---|
| Summer banner: 150 Summer Pearls per pull. | Limited Mythics including Fishi, Armored Crusader and Water Goddess. Choose this route when your goal is a playable Summer Mythic and you want to focus your spending on the summon banner. |
| Sunny Star: 150 Summer Pearls each. | Skins, the Summer Mythics and a chance at Secret Phoenix. Choose this route when you want cosmetics or are deliberately chasing Phoenix, with the understanding that skins and playable units are different rewards. |
Sunny Stars have an 81.5% chance of a Rare skin, a 16% chance of an Epic skin and a 2% chance of a Legendary skin. Mythic skins and Mythic units each have a 0.25% chance, while Phoenix has a 1 in 40,000 chance. Keep that rarity in mind when deciding whether Phoenix is your main goal or a possible bonus while collecting cosmetics.
Zombie (Summer) is a cosmetic skin rather than the playable Zombie base unit. If you want Zombie for your roster, that skin is a different reward. Check whether your desired result is a skin or a unit before spending more Pearls.
Use the Charms and portals from your clears
Equip the Charm whose bonuses best suit your goal through the Charms tab in your inventory. Summer Hunt's final boss can award Charms, which boost damage, rewards and secret drop chances in the Hunt and Sky Portals. Charms have four tiers, with individual bonuses rolled for each copy.Playing this video connects to YouTube.
