Avengers Racers & how to get more flags (Oct 9th-13th)

It's time to put the pedal to the metal one more time in Monopoly Go with the start of the first Tycoon Racer event of the new Marvel Go season, Avengers Racers. This event started at 11 AM ET on the 9th October and runs until 13th October at 3:05 PM ET.

The duration of the event is the same as pervious iterations of racer events, and it will take on the same format, with the first day being to prepare your teams and gain flags, then three races spread over three days.

Updated 11th October to include milestone rewards for laps.

Avengers Racers rewards

Usually there are loads of rewards to be won in racer events, but they can take a heavy toll on your dice stack if your team is competing for the top prize.

This time around, the winning team literally takes it all winning:

• A wild sticker
• Hulk Bumper board token
• Captain American shield
• Purple sticker pack

The second placed team still get a purple sticker pack, blue sticker pack and the Captain America shield.

The third placed team will get a blue sticker pack, pink sticker pack and the Captain America shield.

But if your team comes in last place at the end of the championship they only get a yellow and a green sticker pack.

Apart from end of event rewards, there are also loads of milestone rewards that can be won as you and your team complete laps. As you play through races and complete laps, after a certain number of laps your team will unlock milestone rewards where you'll be given a series of rewards to select from which include sticker packs, dice, flags and more.

Lap rewards are given out after lap one, after two more laps, after five more laps, and after ten more laps, with the rewards getting increasingly better as you get further. The rewards continue with another reward after every 10 laps. For each of the lap rewards you'll be given a choice of rewards to pick from, flags are usually there, if you need some more for your team.

Lap milestone rewards

The following are the lap reward options available for the first race. The rewards will be different for race two and race three.

How to play Avengers Racers

Basically you need to team up with three other players, collect flags and compete against three other teams with the aim to get the most points and win the race. The event is split into four stages as follows:

• Team-up Stage

  In this initial stage you have 25 hours to get into a team. Further down there is a more in/depth explanation of how to build your team in Avengers Racers, but basically it is similar to other partner events where you can send invites and they can be sent to you. The biggest difference is that if someone you want to play with is already a part of a team, then if you want to play with that person, you'll also be playing with their team mates too. The other big difference is that you can leave a team too, but only before the start of the first race. You cannot boot a person from a team though.

  
  You can leave your team

  You'll also be able to start collecting flags which is the event item that you'll need to score points in this event. More on this below.

• Matchmaking Stage

  At this point you just have to and wait for the matchmaking process to complete. Your team will be matched up with other teams of more or less a similar skill level. The game will consider everyone's net worth in the game and will match based on that to try to make it as fair as possible.

• Race Stage

  Next we reach the race stage. For the remainder of the tournament there is a new race every day. There will be three races in total, one per day, with the most important one being the final race because it will yield double medals, which will be important for you team's final placement in the championship.

  It's at this point you can start to use the flags you've collected so far, you'll still be able to collect more flags as the event continues, we explain all the ways to get flags in detail further down the page. To get started in the race stage, hit the event icon, then choose your multiplier and start rolling for event points.

  The points you get will drive your car around the course. Complete laps and the race as a team to win rewards which could include; sticker packs, dice, flags, flash boosts or money.

  To get started in this part of the event, choose your multiplier then hit the big dice popper. You'll move your car according to the number of dice that you threw, multiplied by the multiplier and also increased if you throw a double or a triple.

  The points you get determine how far your car moves, complete laps and you'll get those lap milestone rewards whenever you team car completed 1,2,5 and 10 laps. Your team only has one car so all of your points work together to get through the laps and the race.

  At the end of each race your team gets medals depending on your team's classification at the end of each race. Medals go towards your medal points total at the end of the event to decide which team gets which final reward.

  
  Lap Rewards

  Medals are distributed to the teams as follows:

  Race Position	Team Reward
  1st	10 medals
  2nd	8 medals
  3rd	7 medals
  4th	5 medals

  In the final race of a championship, medal rewards are doubled, so do make sure you save a lot of flags for that last race.

• Championship Stage

  After all of the races have been completed, the team with the most medals at the end wins a grand prize.

Best Strategy for Avengers Racers

The best strategy to win the Avengers Racers champsionships is to try to win the first race, then don't really play the second, and the try to win the third.

The idea is that there is all to play for in the first race, all teams will likely be pushing quite hard, you just need to win it.

Either that or skip the first race, and win the second. In any case you want to have 15 points going into the final race. That's 10 from a first place and 5 from a last place.

Then you just need to win the final race for 20 points, which you have a good chance of doing seeing as you did not spend any flags on one of the races.

It's not a perfect strategy, but is is one that has worked for me. If you go out and try to win both the first and second race, you'll have 20 points, but then you'll have to come at least second in the final race. Which may be difficult if another team has been hoarding flags.

How to build your team in Avengers Racers

Joining a team or selecting partners is a bit different in Avengers Racers than in previous partner events.

Once the event starts you have a certain period to get yourself into a team before the racing starts. For this event the team building phase is for the first 25 hours of the event. Here is a bullet list of all the steps you need to take to get into a team in Avengers Racers.

• To get started click in the Team Up button on the right side of the game screen.
• Tap on one of the empty avatar circles in the middle of the game screen that has the green plus icon in it.
• Here you can now send invites to players and approve or deny requests that have been made to you.
• You can also use the search bar at the bottom of the screen to look for individual players in your friends list.
• As you scroll from the suggested team ups and invites, you may see some avatars on their own or in groups of two or three players. One action, dismiss, invite, join etc... will apply to everyone in that group. So if a friend that you want to play with already has one or two team mates, you'll be joining those team mates too!
• If you make a mistake and want to leave a group, tap the red leave icon that is in the bottom right of your avatar.
• If you can't find a group by the end of the team building phase or your team does not have four players you will either be assigned to a team or a random players will be assigned to you..

How to get more flags

Although the actual races start a little later, there is a lot of ground work to be done if you want to help your team land that first prize in the championship. When the event starts, the team building phase, you'll notice flags on the Monopoly Go game board, you've got to collect these, much as you would collect pickaxes in digging events or other special tokens for partner events. You'll also be able to get flags in some events, as explained below.

Here are all the ways how to get more flags in Avengers Racers on Monopoly Go

• Collect flags on the board - Just roll your dice and if you land on the flags you'll win some.
• Tournaments - Running alongside Avengers Racers will be a banner event and tournament. Head to our daily events schedule and visit the links to the milestone lists for these event to see how many points you need to get enough flags to race with..
• Quick Wins - While Avengers Racers in active, the Quick Wins rewards will include flags.
• Shop gift - Every eight hours you can collect a free gift from the shop. Tap the Shop icon from the three lines at the top of the game screen, then swipe the top block to the left until you get to the final screen. Your free gift will be there, which will include flags if Avengers Racers is still running, or you'll see a countdown timer telling you when to come back.
• Lap completion milestones - As you complete a certain number of laps in a race you'll reach lap completion milestones, at that point you'll be given some reward options. You may get flags as an reward option.
• Free flag links - I'll just mention this as it is always a possibility that free flag links will drop. If there are any, you can be sure to find them on our free dice links page. Although at this stage we have no way of knowing if you'll be able to get free flags with links.

So while you are building your team, don't forget to collect as many flags as you can to help your team out.

Race tactics and strategy

You'll have to be on your toes up until the end of the race, because after seeing how the first race turned out, there was a mad dash to the finish line in our group. So pay attention to the end of race times and save some flags to defend your position or to shoot for that finish line to try to come in first place.

Pressure your opposing teams and don't let them get an easy win so you can deplete their flags so they may not have as many for the next race.

Remember that it is double medal rewards for the final race. So it could still be all to play for in your respective groups. Watch out for teams that hoard their dice until the final hour or minutes of a race then let rip to come to try to come first.

One strategy to use could be to win the first race, then go very light on the second race and then save a ton of flags for the final race and get those double points. Winning in the first or second races and then winning in the final race will make sure that you get first place in the championship according to the current points scoring system.

Another strategy could be to try to place first in both the first and second race, then you only need to place second in the final race to win the event. However I don't like this as much.

My preference is to push and win either the first or second race and the try to win the final race, and not use too many flags in the other race that you don't need to place in.

However, doing about 10 laps in all races will give you back most of the flags back in milestone rewards as long as your team select them from the chest, and should help you get off the bottom of the race position.

Another strategy is to not open your milestone chests until close to the end of the race, that way you'll have a better idea if you need to collect flags from the milestone chests that you get for completing laps or if you can pick dice or sticker rewards instead.

This is most effective on the final race, because you never know if another team is stashing flags for the final race, so I would always recommend choosing flags from the milestone chests up until the final race, then just wait and see what you need towards the end of that race.

End of race sniping

End of race sniping where people try to improve their position in the final minutes of a race is a very real thing in any racer event, so stay alert to the end time of an individual race and be prepared to defend your position if you need to.

There is often a mad dash to the finish line as people strive for the most medals in the final moments of a race.
