Aion 2 Sugar Festival Guide: How to Guarantee Top Rewards Every Time
The Sugar Festival event in Aion 2 features a popular but tricky mini-game that awards high-value cards. Many players struggle to consistently win. This guide reveals the exact strategy to secure the maximum rewards (6 cards) from every attempt.
Part 1: The Key Concept & Setup
1. The Goal:
Finish in either 1st or 2nd place in the mini-game. Only these positions award the chance to select from the 6-card reward screen. Lower places receive fewer cards.
2. The Strategy (The "Spotter" Method):
This event is a team effort disguised as competition. You must cooperate with other knowledgeable players using an unspoken rule:
One player volunteers to be the "Spotter" (Player #1).
The rest of the players are "Followers" (Players #2-6).
The goal is to get the Spotter to 1st place and the Followers to 500 points to lock in 2nd place collectively.
Part 2: Step-by-Step Gameplay Instructions
Phase 1: The Initial Round (Finding the Safe Spot)
When the game starts, the Spotter (Player #1) immediately rushes to collect the colored balls to gain points.
Meanwhile, all Followers should stand still on the same platform tile. Observe and memorize this tile—it is your "safe spot" for the entire game.
The first round ends. Player #1 should now be in the lead.
Phase 2: The Cooperative Grind
Player #1 continues collecting balls, maintaining 1st place.
Followers remain on their memorized safe spot. Do not move. You will gradually gain points (typically 200, then 300) simply by surviving each round.
Your objective is to reach 500 points. Once the entire follower group hits 500 points, you will all jump to 2nd place on the leaderboard.
Phase 3: The Waiting Game
Once Followers hit 500 points, stop playing entirely. Stay on your safe spot.
Player #1 must now carefully manage their points. They need to stay in 1st but may occasionally miss a platform to lose a small number of points (e.g., 50) to avoid accidentally pushing the Followers over 500 too soon or triggering other mechanics. This is a delicate balance.
When the timer runs out, the results will be: Player #1 in 1st, all cooperating Followers tied for 2nd.
Part 3: Choosing Your Reward Cards (The Rotation Secret)
Winning is only half the battle. Choosing the right card is crucial.
Understand the Rotation: The 6-card reward screen has a hidden clockwise rotation pattern (left to right) between events.
Your First Win: Choose any card randomly. Take a screenshot of your position and the card you selected. This establishes your starting point.
Your Next Win (45 minutes later): You must finish 1st or 2nd again. Based on your previous screenshot, choose the card that is one position to the right of your last pick. The "best" reward card (e.g., Sugar Keys) follows this rotation.
Critical Rule: If you finish 3rd or 4th, do not choose a card. Picking from a lower position breaks the rotation pattern, and you will lose track of the high-value card's location.
Pro Tip for Discovery: If you are new, use one event to "scout." Aim for 1st place, then randomly select cards to open and reveal their contents. This reveals where the Sugar Keys are. In the next event, use the rotation rule to target that card.
Final Summary & Checklist
Before Event: Ensure you have a low-ping connection (consider GearUP).
During Event:
If you are Player #1: Collect balls, lead, and manage your points carefully.
If you are a Follower: Find the safe spot, memorize it, stand still, and wait to hit 500 points.
Choosing Rewards:
First Win: Screenshot your choice.
Subsequent Wins: Always finish 1st/2nd and pick the card to the right of your last pick.
Never pick from 3rd/4th place.
By following this coordinated strategy and understanding the card rotation, you can consistently maximize your rewards from the Sugar Festival, get more Aion 2 Kinah or rare Aion 2 Items. Good luck!
