Fighting Ronan

Hey there Guardians,

Just thought I'd provide some basic information on attacking Ronan in its own post. Hopefully this can answer some of your queries...


WHEN CAN I START ATTACKING RONAN?

In order to access Week 4 content, you must have recruited Drax and reached The Destroyer Pt. 3. After you get the Animal House questline to recruit Rocket, Star-Lord starts the Like A Boss questline... (See Week 4 main post for dialogue)




(Ronan emerges! This starts his first 24h countdown...)


WHAT DO I REQUIRE FOR ATTACKING RONAN?

To attack Ronan you will need a good team, preferably at least Level 6 to start, and increasing up to Max Level 9 for the later streaks.
You will also need 3 Cosmic Disruptors per fight. These can be obtained through Special Event Missions on the Mission board or from battling the Chitauri.

TIP: Don't forget to dismiss long Heroic missions with a Cosmic Disruptor reward as you can get much shorter options, such as 2h30 for Pepper combined with 2h for  or 5h for Quake or a combo of 4h and 2h (total 6h) for Falcon and Captain America. Better than 8h missions for sure!

Don't know how to dismiss missions? When you tap on the mission on the mission board it appears on the left of your screen. Tap on the mission area there to expand it so you can read the text. There should be a little rubbish bin in the top left. Click on it to bring up the option to dismiss the mission.
Refresh time for a new mission is 5m on the Special Event Missions or 20m on normal missions.


HOW DOES ATTACKING RONAN WORK?




The Ronan battle uses the streak system and consists of 7 streaks. What this means is that each time you fully defeat Ronan (take him down to 0 HP), his difficulty/HP will increase for the next battle. This occurs up to 7 times. You can see in the below picture an example of the first Ronan battle when he is on Streak 1. If you click on the pictures of Rocket/Drax etc. below the countdown timer, it will have a popup example of rewards you can get from each streak.

 



Basically Ronan will remain at this HP for 24h. If you defeat him during that time, his HP will increase, in this case to 4207HP and the next battle will be Streak 2. Each increasing streak is more difficult and will net you different rewards, such as items required to upgrade Rocket or Gamora etc.
Here is an example reward for Streak 1:


An example reward for Streak 2:


You do NOT have to take out all his HP in one go. You can attack him several times during the 24h period and his health will not reset until the 24h is up.

If you do NOT defeat Ronan fully within the 24h period, his health will reset and your Streak will be broken, meaning you have to start again.



HOW DO I MINE?





Once you have defeated Ronan, a crystal mine will appear for you to send 2 heroes to. I've been able to send any heroes I wanted such as Ms Marvel, Falcon, A-Bomb, Red Hulk, Quake, Black Widow etc. and it takes 20 mins. You have 1 hour before Ronan comes back on his next 24h timer so you can easily mine twice within this time. You can even send them for a third time and collect after the 1h timer is up.




Hope this helps a bit.
Kou.
