Hey there Superheroes!!
Issue 2 of the new Superheroes Event has just begun and wondering if you are doing it right. If you are doing all you can to get those Pie Bombs as quickly as you can. Well this post is here to help you get an idea of how to get the most out of your daily game interactions.
To begin, all the information is very similar as in past events. The more time you spend in your game, the more chances you have at Pie Bomb Earning Actions. The more Neighbors you visit daily, along with you just playing daily… will all contribute to YOUR individual results.
Now for the Breakdown…
PIE BOMBS FROM CRIMINALS IN YOUR TOWN
You will start collecting Pie Bombs fairly quickly once you complete Issue 1 and your game swaps out to Issue 2 content. Then you will able to start Capturing Clown Wig Criminals in your own town and getting Pie Bombs from them. (You may also still have a few stragglers from the previous Criminals, no worries…once you switch over all the Event Currency switches to Pie Bombs too.)
Again, the Spawn Rate is a bit vague on just how many per Spawn, but we do at least know the following:
1 Criminal every 5 mins in your town
30 MAX allowed in your town at a time
Now there IS a Bank listed, but in the past we found this was sketchy and unreliable, so for player sake… I will not fully rely on it.
So let’s take a look at what YOU can earn in your town from just the Criminals alone. Every 2 1/2 hrs you will MAX out based on the 1 every 5 mins Criminal Spawn. To make it simpler, I will show a few options At just the 2hr mark. Also as in past events, if you wait a lil bit in your town… it seems the Criminals will eventually come to where YOU are in the game.
Visit your town every 2 hours to get 24 Criminals giving 18 Pie Bombs each equals a Payout of 432 Pie Bombs every 2 hours.
432 Pie Bombs x 4 visits daily (every 2 hrs) = 1728
432 Pie Bombs x 5 visits daily (every 2 hrs) = 2160
432 Pie Bombs x 6 visits daily (every 2 hrs)= 2592
432 Pie Bombs x 7 visits daily (every 2 hrs)= 3024
432 Pie Bombs x 8 visits daily (every 2 hrs) = 3456
So as you can see, even just a minimal visit to your town every day can still yield you quite a few Pie Bombs and hit that daily average really quickly. The daily average to shoot for right now is 3929. (See the Issue 2 Calendar HERE.)
There is also an added incentive. Once you get all Issue 2 Pie Bombs (55000), you will given the option to continue to collect Pie Bombs and get the chance at those 3 Donut Mystery Boxes containing 1 2 or 3 donuts. Each additional 4000 Pie Bombs you earn past the 55000 will unlock the chance. If you don’t get 3 right away, a retry will cost $150,000 Each so make sure you’re ready if needed. This will continue until Issue 2 and the new Event Currency is launched in your game. (See more info on the Calendar.)
Once The Collector is unlocked, there is also a Crafting element tossed in the mix. You will start to see MORE than just Arbitrarium dropped from tapping on Criminals. More on this in the post about the Collector. 
PIE BOMBS FROM SUPER SQUAD HQ
To quickly recap…in Death of a Hero Part 3, you can build the Super Squad HQ. Now it will NOT start to make Carbon Rods right away. (See Upgrade Post for more details.) You will need to start collecting a few Criminals first and unlock the Arbitrarium from Issue 1 Prizes with 400 Carbon Rods, which as you can see above should not take you too long.
Once the Arbitrarium is obtained, Criminals will start to drop it randomly too when they are tapped. As soon as you get just 4 of them, you can upgrade your HQ to Level 1 and start earning Carbon Rods from it.
Now that you are in Issue 2, you should have leveled up a few times on the HQ and be getting higher and higher payouts of …now… Pie Bombs.
Let’s look at a few options. I will only go up a few upgrade levels to give you an idea of how many you can get daily at even the lowest levels.
Level 5: 75 Pie Bombs every 4hrs
75 Pie Bombs x 3 daily visits (every 4hrs) = 225
75 Pie Bombs x 4 daily visits (every 4hrs) = 300
75 Pie Bombs x 5 daily visits (every 4hrs) = 375
Level 6: 85 Pie Bombs every 4hrs
85 Pie Bombs x 3 daily visits (every 4hrs) = 255
85 Pie Bombs x 4 daily visits (every 4hrs) = 340
85 Pie Bombs x 5 daily visits (every 4hrs) = 425
Level 7: 95 Pie Bombs every 4hrs
95 Pie Bombs x 3 daily visits (every 4hrs) = 285
95 Pie Bombs x 4 daily visits (every 4hrs) = 380
95 Pie Bombs x 5 daily visits (every 4hrs) = 475
Level 8: 105 Pie Bombs every 4hrs
105 Pie Bombs x 3 daily visits (every 4hrs) = 315
105 Pie Bombs x 4 daily visits (every 4hrs) = 420
105 Pie Bombs x 5 daily visits (every 4hrs) = 525
Level 9: 115 Pie Bombs every 4hrs
115 Pie Bombs x 3 daily visits (every 4hrs) = 345
115 Pie Bombs x 4 daily visits (every 4hrs) = 460
115 Pie Bombs x 5 daily visits (every 4hrs) = 575
Level 10: 125 Pie Bombs every 4hrs
125 Pie Bombs x 3 daily visits (every 4hrs) = 375
125 Pie Bombs x 4 daily visits (every 4hrs) = 500
125 Pie Bombs x 5 daily visits (every 4hrs) = 625
The more you level up, the more payout you will get. The more times you visit, the more you will get from collecting on the HQ. Just keep capturing those Criminals to get the Pie Bombs and you will get Arbitrarium too. Then you can Level Up your Super Squad HQ.
Another cool thing about the HQ is when you Level Up, your “tapping” area is expanded. This means you will get MORE Criminals in one tap as it will create a “ring” that will span out further than your tapping finger and Capture any Criminals within that radius ring. Making it so if you have 2 or more Criminals in a close range, you will get them all with one tap.
Once The Collector is unlocked, there is also a Crafting element tossed in the mix. You will start to see MORE than just Pie Bombs dropped from the Super Squad HQ when you collect on it. More on this in the post about the Collector. 
PIE BOMBS FROM PLAYING DAILY
If you just show up daily in your town, you will be rewarded with the Event Currency for doing so via the Daily Play Combo. Each day you go into your town, you will get a higher payout until Day 5, then it will restart.
Just make sure you visit at least once every 24hrs and you will get the Daily Rewards.
PIE BOMBS FROM FELONS
To recap, while collecting Carbon Rods for the game, you will reach 7000 and unlock Burns State Prison in the Issue 1 Prizes.
This is another way to get some Pie Bombs. First, you will need to release a Felon. (For complete details, see the Burns State Prison Post.) You will get 1 every 8hrs, so release them as soon as one spawns at the Prison so you can send Characters to defeat them as much as possible. Having MORE is a good thing as you can only send ONE Character to get rid of ONE Felon at a time.
Once you launch into Issue 2, each time you send a Character to get rid of a Felon, you will get a payout of Pie Bombs for completing the task. Right now every 4 hours. (Every 3 with Spider Pig.) The payout will depend how many “hits” the Felon has taken and how many hearts he has left.
Let’s take a look at just a basic attempt at the Felons with Fall Out Boy and Pie Man. Then one with Spider Pig. Again, it works best if you have at least TWO Felons running around for them to attack. The more the better.
Fall Out Boy & Pie Man
Felon at 3 Hearts
25 Pie Bombs (every 4 hrs) x 2 daily attempts = 50 Pie Bombs
Felon at 2 Hearts
75 Carbon Rods (every 4 hrs) x 2 daily attempts = 150 Pie Bombs
Felon at 1 Heart
150 Carbon Rods (every 4 hrs) x 2 daily attempts = 300 Pie Bombs
Collector (once unlocked)
Felon at 3 Hearts
25 Pie Bombs (every 4hrs) x 1 daily attempts = 25 Pie Bombs
Felon at 2 Hearts
75 Pie Bombs (every 4hrs) x 1 daily attempts = 75 Pie Bombs
Felon at 1 Heart
150 Pie Bombs (every 4hrs) x 1 daily attempts = 150 Pie Bombs
Spider Pig
Felon at 3 Hearts
25 Pie Bombs (every 3hrs) x 1 daily attempts = 25 Pie Bombs
Felon at 2 Hearts
75 Pie Bombs (every 3hrs) x 1 daily attempts = 75 Pie Bombs
Felon at 1 Heart
150 Pie Bombs (every 3hrs) x 1 daily attempts = 150 Pie Bombs
Now for an extra Character that ONLY seasoned TSTO players will have access to for now as he is NOT currently available in the game. He was released originally for an Episode Tie-In in early 2013.
Fruit Batman
Felon at 3 Hearts
25 Pie Bombs (every 3hrs) x 1 daily attempts = 25 Pie Bombs
Felon at 2 Hearts
75 Pie Bombs (every 3hrs) x 1 daily attempts = 75 Pie Bombs
Felon at 1 Heart
150 Pie Bombs (every 3hrs) x 1 daily attempts = 150 Pie Bombs
As you can see, having Spider Pig & Fruit Batman will get you more Pie Bombs with less time spent in the game. The more Felons, the more chances at getting rid of them and getting more Pie Bombs so release them from the Prison as soon as they are ready.
Once The Collector is unlocked, there is also a Crafting option tossed in the mix. You will start to see MORE than just Pie Bombs dropped from Felons. More on this in the post about the Collector. 
Now you have a basic idea of how to get Pie Bombs from just playing daily. Now for more extras that will add to your Pie Bombs Totals. (See the complete Neighbor Visit Breakdown Post HERE.)
PIE BOMBS FROM NEIGHBORS
As with previous events, you can visit your neighbors to get help with the Event Currency. Issue 2 is Pie Bombs. Now, just like any other time, you will be limited on actions as you visit Neighbors. The following is the Breakdown of your Neighbor Visit Actions.
(This will NOT start til the HQ is built and you get to New Hero Rises Part 2 during the questline in Issue 1.)
The less Neighbors you have, the less Pie Bombs you will get from the Red Telephones.
This is just from visiting neighbors, but do not stop there. If you have your FP at the MAX, you can also get that additional random FREE Donut from continuing to Capture Criminals. The amounts vary daily on what you get. The more you visit and more neighbors you have the better the odds.
PIE BOMBS FROM THE SUPERIOR SQUAD MEMBERSHIP
If you want even MORE from your Capturing Criminals in Neighbors towns, you can invest 90 Donuts in the Superior Squad Membership and double your Criminal Pie Bomb Payout.
So instead of 270 Pie Bombs a day from 90 Criminal Captures Actions you can earn 540 Pie Bombs daily from Criminal Captures. (See the Should I Buy Post on it HERE.)
PIE BOMBS FROM RADIOACTIVE SYMBOLS
This event is very Neighbor involved as well. When you go to a Neighbors town or they to yours and tap on that Red Telephone, it initiates the “Report Criminal” action. The one tapping on the Red Telephone gets 1 Pie Bomb for doing so and the one having their Building tapped on get an alert a Crime has been reported in their town and to hurry to respond. 
Now how does the payout work on the Radioactive Signal? Well as soon as the Building is tapped and the Signal launched a countdown begins. How long it takes for YOU to clear that Radioactive Signal will impact what payout YOU get. It breaks down as follows…
Signal first appears up to 3hrs 59mins = 4 Pie Bombs per Signal
4hrs to 7hrs 59mins = 3 Pie Bombs per Signal
8hrs to 11hrs 59mins= 2 Pie Bombs per Signal
12 hrs to 15hrs 59mins= 1 Pie Bomb per Signal
So as you can see, the sooner you clear those Signals the higher Pie Bomb payout you will get from each one. Clear them as fast as you can and as often as you can to allow your Neighbors visiting something to Report a Crime on. If you don’t clear them, your Neighbor will see no Red Telephone and have nothing to tap on Building wise.
(It is also really cool as it activates the animation on the building tapped.)

PIE BOMBS FROM COMPLETING QUESTLINES
After Completing New Hero Rises Part 2, you will notice that the More tasks you complete throughout the event will start to unlock Event Currency Tasks.
Here are a few of those Characters tasks.
Again, these won’t appear until you unlock them via questlines.
So there you have it. MANY ways to hit the targets for the Personal Prizes in Issue 2. YOU just need to put in the time and effort. It may seem like you can’t keep up as first, but as you continue to unlock more and more and get further along, it will get easier and easier.
Where are YOU on the Pie Bombs count? What items have YOU won so far from the Personal Prizes? How is your Criminal and Felon capturing going? Did this help you out to not worry so much? Let us know.
