Gold At Last

I've been trying to get the gold medal on the toboggan event all week. I got the bronze and silver and all the ski medals without much trouble but I couldn't get gold.

In a fit of desperation, I used my second build to get the various powers people recommend and did a bit of experimentation. I thought I'd share the result with you.

Combat jumping + super speed + sprint was easily enough for gold. (48 seconds.) The key one is combat jumping. (You can usually find a kin to give you the speed.) None of my powers were socketed except for SS which had one Lvl 50 run in it.

I was amazed how much difference CJ makes. It took 5 seconds off my time. (From 53s to 48s) It also made both events much easier.

I hope this helps someone.

Either CJ or SJ IMO!

As in I can get better than gold with one or the other, but not without both.

Does anyone know if there any buffs or temporary powers that mimic CJ?

I found IR just made it horribly twitchy. I just kept falling off.

All temp-power jump boosts emulate unslotted level 14 Super Jump, AFAICT.


DCUO and CO will never see my money. The Citygame will keep seeing my money for as long as I keep enjoying it

you can do the slopes with just swift, hurdle, SS and SJ unsloted and get gold....just need to push your self to the limits and do it when no one around so you don't have people going down or up the slope that get in the way

By the way, how were you slotted?

Just one run speed in SS. Everything else was empty.

Ok - I've just made a second build with 6 slotted Super Jump and Combat Jumping, as well as 6 slotted Swift and Super Speed

You should have six slotted Hurdle while you were at it TBH.

Time to head over to the slopes and listen out for GG breaking the sound barrier.
