Best Characters & Boards for Token Events
AdminJuly 8, 202631 views
Token events are the best way to unlock limited characters and boards. This guide shows you the most efficient farming strategy.
Token Farming Efficiency
| Character/Board | Token Cost | Farming Time (with 2x tokens) | Worth It? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Limited character | 100 tokens | 2 hours | Yes (limited only) |
| Premium board | 75 tokens | 1.5 hours | Yes |
| Keys | 40 tokens | 45 min | Only if you need keys |
| Score booster | 25 tokens | 30 min | No (Easy to get weekly) |
| Super Mystery Box | 15 tokens | 15 min | No (Grind for tokens instead) |
The Token Farming Route
- Always play in London (current event city -- best token spawn rate)
- Use characters with 2x token bonus: specific event characters give +50% more tokens
- Equip the token magnet board: automatically collects tokens in a 3-lane radius
Token Farming Settings
- Character: Event character (2x tokens)
- Board: Token Magnet (any rarity)
- Multiplier: At least 5x (10x preferred)
- Time: Early morning (leaderboard less active = less lag)
- Session: 30-minute blocks MAX (fatigue causes mistakes)
Efficiency tip: Don't buy individual tokens with keys. Keys are rarer than tokens. Save keys for unlocking characters directly in the shop. The optimal strategy for F2P players: farm 100 tokens for the limited character, then STOP. Extra tokens after that have diminishing returns. The seasonal quests give enough coins and boosters -- tokens are only worth grinding for the exclusive items.
