Guys In Black 101: Weasels

Hey Addicts, want to join me in a chorus of Pop Goes the Weasel? No, okay let’s just chat about clearing them instead. 

Yes some cheeky intergalactic Weasels have landed in our towns and don’t they look like they could have a real sting in their tail. Ouch!!!

For more information on the Event, go to the Event Page HERE


WHEN DO THE WEASELS APPEAR? 

At the Part 1 of the Main Questline, Invasion Of The Quahog Snatchers, you will be directed to learn about Weasels.

Tapping on GO at The Weasels Are Here will bring up the Weasels information box which will give you a lot less information than I’m about to.


WHERE DO WEASELS APPEAR?

They appear on the Sidewalks/Edge of Sidewalks of the Quahog road patches, so look near all your roads to locate them.

Now it is COMPLETELY OPTIONAL for you to remove your Roads from your town to keep the Weasels to one area, just know that the less you have out in the open, the less time you will spend searching for Weasels.

I had a bunch of them appear in my Quahog as soon as I had triggered Pt. 1  of the main Questline and it would appear they max out at 8. As you clear them new ones will spawn but I doubt you’ll ever run out of Weasels.


WHAT DO YOU NEED TO BATTLE WEASELS?

You’ll need 2 Arrest Warrants for every Battle you want to start with a Weasel.

Arrest Warrant (Uncommon): Secret Weapons Room OR Mort Put Up Wanted Posters OR Jerome Hunt Bounty OR Agent Pee Peter Push Paper, Quagmire Put Up Flyers OR Intergalactic Mystery Box


WHAT CHARACTERS CAN BATTLE WEASELS?

You have the option to select 2 of your available Characters to Battle a Weasel. You will just need to make sure they are available, unlocked, and not in the healing process. These are the characters you can use.

Agent Pee

Frank The Pug

Spacewoman Lois

Edgar The Bug


WHAT KIND OF DAMAGE CAN EACH CHARACTER DO?

The 4 Characters that can Battle Weasls each have their own Hit Power, Health, and % Chance they will deliver a knockout blow during a Battle and completely take their opponent out. Remember you can also Miss and do no damage.

AGENT PEE
Health
: 6
Hit Power: 4
% Chance: 20% Chance

FRANK THE PUG
Health
: 8
Hit Power: 6
% Chance: 30% Chance

SPACEWOMAN LOIS
Health
: 4
Hit Power: 6
% Chance: 20% Chance

EDGAR THE BUG
Health
: 8
Hit Power: 6
% Chance: 20% Chance


WHY CAN’T I SELECT MY CHARACTER? 

There can be a couple of reasons you are unable to SELECT a Character to go to Battle.

BUSY: If the Character you want to use is on a Task elsewhere in the game, you will see the word BUSY and a GET Icon next to them. If they are on a Task, tapping GET will take you to them and ask if you want to finish that Task right away for Clams.

NOT UNLOCKED: If you have not Clam Purchased a Character or you are still collecting Materials in the game to Unlock a Character, they will also show up with a Lock Icon and a GET Icon next to them. You will need to continue earning their Required Materials & Unlock them in order to use them for Battle.

HEALING: After a Character’s Health is dropped to Zero, they go through a Healing Process (Currently 8hrs – apart from Spacewoman Lois who heals in 4 hours). While they are Healing, you can’t use them to Battle.


HOW LONG WILL CHARACTERS HEAL?

The Current Healing time frame I am seeing on the Characters that dropped to Zero Health after a Battle is 8hrs. Apart from Spacewoman Lois who has a reduced Heal time of 4hrs. 

You will see a HEAL Icon next to them in the Battle Screen along with a timer showing you how much longer you will have to wait before being able to Revive them.


CAN I HEAL CHARACTERS FASTER?

YES. If you want to speed up the Healing Process and want your Healing Character to Battle again immediately, you can tap on the HEAL Icon and use either Clams or a Revive Potion to give them their full strength back instantly. Whichever method you choose the Game will ask you if you are sure you want to go ahead. 

If you have purchased any revive potions you will see this message. If you want to use a revive potion simply click YES. You’ll find more on your Revive Potion options in the next section.

If you haven’t purchased any revive potions you will see this message.

If you wish to spend 72 clams for a one-off Heal imply click YES. But bear in mind this isn’t the most cost-effective method. As if you purchase any of the revive packs, the clam cost per Heal will be cheaper. For example the 3 revive potions pack costs 150 Clams, so that works out at 50 Clams per Heal.


REVIVE POTIONS

There is a Revive Potion Icon above the Characters in the Battle Screen that will show your current available count of Revive Potions.

There are now a few ways to get Revive Potions with this Phase, these are:

Revive Positions: Jarra Joe Go On Patrol OR Intergalactic Mystery Box OR Buy From Store  (costs of packages below)

x3 Revive Capsules150

x8 Revive Capsules340

x15 Revive Capsules600


WHAT KIND OF DAMAGE CAN WEASELS  DO? 

Remember Weasels will be battling back against your Character. They also have a Health, Hit Power, and Chance of dealing Knockout Blows (though it is an unknown %). They can also Miss with an attack.

Health: 8
Hit Power: 8
% Chance: UNKNOWN


WHAT KIND OF REWARDS CAN I GET FROM BATTLING WEASELS? 

The Rewards you will receive will depend on whether you WIN (NEURALIZED) the Battle or simply DAMAGE the Weasel during the Battle.

These are the kind of Rewards I saw in my game. Keep in mind some rewards  such as Sugar may only show when a Character, such as the Edgar The Bug is placed in your game for unlocking.

WIN Chance Payout:
  +27 Arc Net Shields
 +1 Sugar
+ 10 Alien Slime
+15 MIB Badges
 +2 Strawberry Cakes

A Winning Battle means that you dropped the Weasel’s Health to Zero, even if your Characters are wiped out in the process too.

ATTACK OVER Payout:
+5 Alien Slime
+5 MIB Badges

An Attack Over Battle means you were not able to get the Weasel’s Health to Zero before your Characters health was fully depleted.


HOW DO I START A BATTLE?

Simply find a Weasel and tap on him and his Battle Screen will open up.

Then Select your Characters to Battle the Weasel. You will see one major difference from the Phase 1 Ballchinin battles, in that you can choose 2 characters to battle Weasels. Basically you want to choose your best combination to take the Weasel out in one battle, and to be honest I’m not doing breakdowns of each combo as any combination of two characters can do this UNLESS you get unlucky and miss. (And remember you can UNSELECT a Character if you change your mind)

You will need 2 Arrest Warrants for Each Battle. Once you have selected your Characters AND if you have at least TWO Arrest Warrants, then you will see the Button under the Weasel’s image light up green with BATTLE. Tap on it to Start the Battle.

Once a battle is underway you can only sit back and watch, you can’t influence the  Battle, you might simply damage the Weasel, you might miss the Weasel, or you might knockout the Weasel, and the Weasel can do any of the same to you. You will know how strong each hit is by the RED NUMBER that floats up to their Health Bar after each hit.

Once the Battle is complete, the Reward Screen will appear showing you if you won or not and what Materials you will be Rewarded. To win you must have depleted the Weasel’s Health to 0.  If you did that you will see the Neutralized Screen, showing your rewards.

if you miss him or merely damage his health you’ll see the Attack Over screen giving you the option to fight again immediately if you have 2 Arrest Warrants and Characters available.

Tapping Fight Again will bring you up the a confirmation box, simply tap YES to go straight back into battle. However if you don’t have 2 Arrest Warrants or Characters available don’t worry you can go back and Attack the same Weasel later.


HOW DO I ATTACK A PREVIOUSLY DAMAGED WEASEL?

If you couldn’t immediately Fight Again due to not having 2 Arrest Warrants or your Characters needing to heal then once your ready to Battle again you’ll want to find the same Weasel you previously damaged.  To do this look for the Weasel with the reduced health status floating above his head.


QUICK RECAP

  • Unlock Character(s)
  • Wait for Weasels to appear
  • Collect at least 2 Arrest Warrants
  • Select Character/s to Battle Weasel 
  • Battle Weasel

There you have the basics of Battling Weasels for the Guys in Black Event.
