Talk:Sbarro Sparta (Enduro Double Down)/@comment-69.158.47.195-20170417003838/@comment-31544835-20170417051726

Read through this thread, a lot of good info. You have a decent assortment of upgraded cars. More then me when I first started this EDD. But I've now farmed over 5 million credits to get all the cars above their MAX ranking. But you don't want to farm credits to upgrade very much. So you'll have to play it safe as one underpowered vehicle in your arsenal could force you to start over. I can't give you advice on tuning because, again, my goal was to MAX all the cars as much as possile. I did get beyond the 24th race on my first run and I believe my Sparta was around 3-4-2-4 but that's just a guess. The Speed and Nitro of all your cars should be upgraded as much as possible. Be familiar with each car (what are they good at, what are they weak at.) Gameloft will find your weaknesses and then troll hard. For many their weakness is in the handling. In which case, avoiding races that have drifting as the challenge is smart. Know by name each race type so you know which ones to pick and which ones to avoid. Be confident about all the tracks and know their shortest routes.

Since you're not about credit farming. You'll have to rely on making the best choices for the cars you have, and have a decent supply of tokens so you can retry or pass when you really need to. For me, my goal was to spend zero tokens so I played it pretty safe, which is a lot more time consuming. But with 4ish days left I'm almost at 60,000. So taking tour time and playing it safe is doable.

After each Ace racer (the bosses) you have three options. Play is safe, risk points and double down, or spend tokens for a risk-free double down.

On the first run I went as far as I could without doubling down at all. That's the safest and slowest method, though the higher you get, you do start stacking points quickly. I got to race 30 and banked round 12,000 points my first run. Look at the EDD chart on this page to get familiar with how this EDD is laid out.

On the second run I doubled down after the Ace at race 8 (end of 2nd tier.) Then played it safe. Maybe too safe but I'm not planning on using any tokens ever on these events. Also the EDD gets harder your second and third and fourth times though. Though I didn't experience a significant spike in difficulty until I started playing a little more risky around my 4th time through.

On my 3rd run I doubled down until the end of the 3rd tier. Then doubled down after the 5th tier. This is my favorite balance of risk vs playing it safe. This gets you around 3,500 + 6,000, for you two double down runs. After race 24 I always have played it safe due to it getting harder the higher you go.

At this point I'm copying what I did on my 3rd run over and over. The hardest thing about this EDD is spending the time on it. If you're prepared enough, and know what to expect, you have a fighting chance.
