Assassin-a-Nator Update: Burst Mode

Share:

The next time you load up your Assassin-a-Nator you will find a new setting called "Burst". Activating the Burst will enable the Assassin-a-Nator to go a lot faster. Attacking in bursts allows you to attack the same target without waiting for the individual results. Depending on how many bursts you choose (max 7), the results will return when the batch of attacks is over.  Manually players do the same thing when they click the attack button like crazed monkey. To turn off the boost feature, set the value to 0, 1 or above 7 and it will be ignored.

There have been questions as to whether or not this mode crosses a line of scripting which is why Team Spockholm has delayed it's release. Other fighting scripts have been using variations of it for quite some time and nobody to date has had their account banned or suspended. If Zynga doesn't want burst attacks to exist they can certainly put a stop to it. Manually players do the same thing when they click the attack button like crazed monkey. This burst mode is only available because Zynga made it available. This is not making extra calls to the server. Like other burst scripts in the past have done.  Manually players do the same thing when they click the attack button like crazed monkey.  If Zynga turns this feature off we will not have burst mode again. Go here for a full explanation of what the burst mode does.

Thanks to Pete for the better and edited explanation of the burst feature.

  1. Reason why I don't use Assassin any more is one simple function missing;
    "Don't heal if stamina under xxx"

  2. hi. I didn't test the burst mode yet myself, but I hear in my mafia that they still only get 5 loot items (in Brazil) per powerattack... so with burst 7 you're spending 175 stamina per hit but only 5 items as in a single powerattack...

  3. Too bad we're limited to 7. Battlefield lets you set it to aggressive or 100%, at what ever level of the opponents health you want, like 50%. I then does as many as it takes in a row. I use it all the time, and have never received a warning.

  8. The person that wrote sad and robo clickers. Have you tried icing the 150 daily? Manually it takes me 2 to 3 hours. I don't always have time for that. With this update I get family progression done in no time at all. And my family benefits to, even if I have to cut corners here and there. -Dioxin-

  9. to the person who wrote "Too bad we're limited to 7": don't expect every maximum benefit from scripting to your personal gain. scripting is bending a little the rules... bend them, don't break them! so don't push your luck on this game with Zynga or they'll ban the scripting for every player.

  11. If you're not getting the Ices quickly using Assassinator, try adjusting your settings. I can usually get 150 ices within an hour.
