The 1.5.2 update also added a new sale - and a warning.

The sale offers 25 per cent off sidekicks with an ominous warning there will be a chompie invasion coming on Tuesday. The 25 per cent off sale ends on August 25th. I wasn't planning on buying a sidekick, even at 25 per cent off. But an invasion of chompies? Perhaps I should reconsider.

Sounds like we need some accurate information posted on just exactly what the extra bonuses are for clearing ACTIVE chompie pods. Are the rewards for an invasion worth 200 gems for a sidekick? And if it's really an invasion, a single sidekick will still only be able to manage one active chompie pod per 15 minutes - unless you also shell out gems for Cape Girl's instant zap.

So anyone got Cape Girl yet, and how effective are her gem finding abilities?

I believe the clearing time for active pods is something like 2 or 3 minutes. They are 15 minutes when they are empty.

And cape girl doesn't give many gems. I've gotten 3 so far.

1500 coins plus the occasional silver or gold chest. I haven't seen a gold chest personally and I have got silver ones out of empty pods so it is really only an extra 1000 coins that you are getting.

Oh and i have read elsewhere that it is not paying towards the chompie quest if you use Cape Girl. That should be getting fixed if it is not already.

A question for those with Cape Girl.

Can you please tell me if you can choose not to use her like you can with Beatrees?


Thanks

We've already had an active chompy pod clearing timed quest. It came on Tuesday this week. You had to clear 8 active chompy pods in 5 days and the reward was an airship. Fairly easy one to complete. Did you not get this quest? If not, maybe you got it if you only had a sidekick.

It says next Tuesday in the ad.

If you have cape girl everything is cleared immediately. You cannot choose to use her. I'm not sure why you'd want to not use her.

Have they fixed the problem with the goals?

You can't spawn. On Sunday picking off the camps and mobs as they appeared i had 4 camps and 6 mobs. Monday using spawning I had 15 camps and 14 mobs.

The challenge last week took just 2 and a half days to get the 100 trolls.

I got the chompie quest and completed it quickly. I've never been able to do the troll or sheep quests within the time. I have plenty of skylanders, they just don't spawn quickly enough for me. If you aren't ready to buy, I would wait because of my previous results. That said I was able to do this weeks chompie quest easily. I have gotten one gold chest from chompie pods, 2-3 silver chests, but typically just coins. I'm not ready to buy cape girl as I still don't see the benefit. Just because the mobs and camps clear fast doesn't mean the will regenerate quickly. For those that have her, do they come back faster?

I just retread my post it sounds as though I did nothing else all day on sunday but wait for them to turn up!

I meant picked them off straight away after opening the game.

Clearing time of a Chompy nest by a sidekick is 2 minutes. The reward is 1500 gold.

Can anyone explain how Cape Girl works?
-Does she become an option to clear the camps?
-Does she just make the skylander doing the clear do it instantly?

They are really not doing a good job explaining things lately. I am still not sure exactly what last Tuesday's "Super Tuesday" was.

When you click the pod or camp and choose a skylander, it is instantly done.

Thanks. So the only real advantage is you can use Tree Rex in between house/sanctuary with out breaking up your rhythm.

This is a pretty expensive "convenience" companion.

I'm not going to waste gems on a sidekick that I'll eventually spin for, unless the reward were something like 300 gems (which it won't be). I've been leaving all my mobs, camps and pods sit around, and I currently have about 10 of each. Hopefully that means I don't get further inundated with this "invasion". I hate having to clean up after the chompies!

Thanks for the clarification.

When you said automatic I imagined her sweeping through and clearing everything in her path.

I only have 2 giants houses and 5 shrines I might be stocking up on them first.

Sorry, I'm confused. You said you can't spawn, but then your evidence seems to say the opposite.

Some one else clarified it for me. I was wrong.
