Hi, Im Kaci. I play too much Kingdom Hearts. If you've got questions, I've got answers.

Maleficent HSC Guide

It’s that time of week.  A new High Score Challenge!  This time the rewards are Maleficent and Pete!  Maleficent is a big deal.  She’s a premium Tier 4 and the magic-reversed equivalent of Illustrated Black Coat Mickey.  And instead of being locked behind 200 dollars or luck, you can get it with a lot of perseverance and… well, still luck.

Here’s the multipliers:

HD Sora and the three new Epic children are up at 21% and 14%.  iBCM is holding strong at 10%.  And guess what: all those Meow Wow’s you farmed up are 7% too!  And if you got Marluxia from the event, that’s 7% too.  Honestly, it’s a very considerate list.

As for the challenge itself, it’s another gauntlet-style “kill all you can before you die” sort of thing.  At the beginning, you’ll choose which pathway you want.  One for each type.  Each room only has one enemy group to kill, then you move onto the next one.  There is no returning back to previous rooms.  Sometimes there are Special chests, but no health ones (to my knowledge).  Unfortunately, I didn’t get far with Speed or Magic medals, so I’m not sure exactly how far these things go.  If you have more to add, please comment and I’ll put them on the list.

Rewards:

You get a Pete at 5, 7, 8, and 10 million points.  There’s a lot of magic mirrors along the way.  The top 1000 ranked get the equivalent of 4 Petes.  The top 2000 get 3.

As for Maleficent, the top 5000 get one, up to a guilted version for the top 200.

Strategy:

Very unlike the previous HSC, this one is based on skill and medals.  Multipliers are important, but more so is killing the enemies and moving onto the next group.  Combining the two is difficult, but with Marluxia and Meowjesty it’s not too bad.  Status plus or second chance are basically required for lv. 400 and higher.

I’m hungry and Gilmore Girls just came out on Netflix so that’s it.  Good luck!  Ends 12/01!
