Asphalt 8 30th tryout of BXR Bailey Blade GT1 Enduro Double Down challenge list


I'm writing this for
  • trying to figure out the difficulty increase,
  • this can apply any EDD (Enduro Double Down) challenge because game style is quite same as previous challenge--Weber Faster One and Aston Martin One-77.
  • So you can do it well on next EDD challenge.


Based on previous EDD and other information from Asphalt 8 Wikia page
--like Enduro Double Down Challenges and Enduro Double Down/BXR Bailey Blade GT1 page.

Difficulty will increase after player collected 7,000 points and one more time after collected 20,000 points.

So if player did the double until 24 ace race in BXR Bailey Blade GT1 EDD, after collected 7,000 points player should double until 19 ace race.
And once again, if player did the double until 19 ace race, after collected 20,000 points player should double until 14 ace race. 10 ace race.
So player should prepare for the difficulty changes.
Or player should upgrade enough to do the desire ace race.




Bailey, thirtieth EDD(Enduro Double Down) invitation.

I will write down like involved car, map, requirement, ghost racer(AI car)'s finish time. And then if there has recommended rank, I selected that challenge.

So I can figure out how difficult it became with this recommended car rank and ghost racer's finish time.


Collected points:
  • Previously collected 52,970 points.
  • Failed at challenge 5.


Spent tokens: 0 token.
* I will not spend any token this time. Because I spent a lot in previous R&D, EDD about more than 1,300 tokens for each.


Car status:
  • BXR Bailey Blade GT1 upgrade status: R1602 (max 2222, pro 3333, elite tune up -4, +4, -4, +4)
  • fully maxed and proed it
    • Alfa Romeo MiTo GTA
    • Ford Focus RS
    • Nissan GT-R (R35)
    • Dodge Viper SRT10 ACR-X
  • Mazda 6 upgrade status: R1272 (max 4535, pro 4353)
  • Mitsubishi Eclipse (reward): R1344(max 3423, max 4353)
  • I don't own the car - upgrade status:
    • Holden Coupe 60: R1248 (max 2212, pro 2121)
    • Mazzanti Evantra: R1546 (max 2212, pro 2022)



Ace race isn't the problem
-- based on previous EDD and I failed 6 times on ace race but I failed 13 times on not ace race.

Weber Faster One is S class car. And Aston Martin One-77 is A class car. And this BXR Bailey Blade GT1 is B class car.
So I don't think it will be difficult like previous EDD---nope, not really. It's crazier (trickier) than previous EDD.

But it will be very difficult in very different way. This elite car system will degrade car so you have to tune up time to time. And this elite car system always ruined whole play time because sometimes 'tune up' just completely gone or sometimes it will refill only half of 'tune up bar'. And D or C class car like Mazda 6, Alfa Romeo MiTo GTA and Ford Focus RS had to compete with car rank of 1540 BXR Bailey Blade GT1. So one mistake or if player didn't fully upgraded means impossible to win.

* My guess was right. I failed two times on infected mode because of that 1540 BXR Bailey. You can read and see from Asphalt 8 crazy infected challenge in BXR Bailey Blade GT1 Enduro Double Down.
** Again my guess was right. I did apply the tune up. About 30 minutes later, I checked this 'tune up' thing. But four hours later, it was completely gone. So I had to apply 'tune up' again. That means I had to play next day.
Meanwhile, 2 out of 3 invitation at the time and one invitation was delivered within 2+ hours. So while doing sleep or work, my EDD invitation was fully charged for very and very long time. So I probably wasted one EDD invitation for waiting and again, waiting for complete the 'tune up'.
See the details from here or check fourth tryout.

But many times, I failed on not ace race. So problem will be other cars--Mazda 6, Mitsubishi Eclipse, Holden Coupe 60, Mazzanti Evantra.
 - I have Mazda 6 but I didn't upgrade it properly because I upgraded it with remains. So no free class D upgrade or i4 engine card to further upgrade.
 - Holden Coupe 60, Mazzanti Evantra: I don't have these cars and I don't think I will buy it in the future. So I don't like waste credits and pro cards.



17th tryout, I've got the Mitsubishi Eclipse reward.

I was very irritated by this one crazy fast 1540 rank Bailey. Because most of time, at the beginning I hit the car(almost all the AI) to make clear the road.
But it was useless.

Because this crazy fast 1540 rank Bailey probably can go more fast. This car took all the slowest route but it can still finish first.

So I can't even catch to hit the car.


This is not so great B elite car because high rank with poor performance. So it can't do well in TLE(Time-Limited Event) and it can't do well in MP(MultiPlayer).
So I felt that pointless to get the car.
I already wasting so many credits (2 millions+) and pro cards.
At least, I didn't use any token and booster(just 2 to 4) though.

So I don't feel like continue playing.

But FI-V8 engine cards were extremely rare for me so that's the reason I will keep playing.



If you play like me (not spend token and not use booster) and would like to win the car, you should better save point at challenge 6, not challenge 10.
I wasn't very interested to win the car. That's why I just play it casually.
And those crazy fast 1540 rank Bailey makes me not to play.


Currently I'm playing 33th tryout which you can see EDD will end very soon. And I will get one more invitation only.

56,190 points. Because I always try to save point at challenge 10.
About two days ago, I realised that if I wanted to win the Bailey, I should save point at challenge 6 but it was quite late to realised that.
But I wasn't playing for win the Bailey. So it doesn't matter for me.

As you can see in the screenshot, 3,810 points more to get the EDD box.
I am not sure whether I can get the box or not--I haven't decide whether use booster or tokens to get points.

* I've got the EDD box at 34th--last tryout's challenge 6.

This is quote from Asphalt 8 crazy fast 1540 rank Bailey make fail the challenge in BXR Bailey Blade GT1 Enduro Double Down @ September 7, 2016
As you can see from the screenshot, 1540 rank of BXR Bailey Blade GT1 finished at 1:12:864. This is one of craziest thing.
This challenge's car was Alfa Romeo MiTo GTA and recommended rank is 1127. I have fully upgraded MiTo which rank was 1201.
1201 rank MiTo can finish 1:14:xxx-ish so how can 1127 rank MiTo can finish 1:12:864.

It's not just impossible. I think that even pro-player can't make faster than that time with that rank.

So Gameloft's intention was very clear. They designed this EDD to fail the challenge.

Of course, with double booster, it can be done. But 1127 recommended rank. I don't think so.
Maybe 1127 recommended rank with triple booster can make that time.


Here is the challenge play video:
