I haven't seen the weekly boss battle yet. Somewhere mentioned leaderboards too, but I can't remember where I read it. It's been 2 weeks since the big update and since nobody seems to have found a weekly boss battle yet, I'm guessing that it's a feature that is still "coming soon" and it wasn't really included in the big update.

shield scanning I don't remember any more, I think you start out the game with 3 units of scan energy. I haven't completed the game yet, but at level 25, your scan energy increases to 5 units ( I can't remember when I earned 4 units). The amount of energy required to scan a shield is based on that power's current star level. The amount of scan energy required is NOT related to the level of the code that you scan. Based on your starting point, this is how much energy will be required faded shield (no prior scans) = 1 unit of energy 0-star = 1 unit of energy 1-star = 2 units of energy 2-star = 3 units of energy 3-star = 4 units of energy 4-star = 5 units of energy standard shields (the ones that everybody is searching the internet for) will raise your power level by 1 rank. faded >> 0 >>1 >> 2 >> 3 >> 4 >> 5 You can also generate a VR code for your friends to scan. Using these VR codes can GREATLY speed up your leveling. When you scan a VR code, your power will become the level of the code that you scan. example: if your power is a faded shield (no prior scans) and you scan a 5-star code, you will immediately have a 5-star shield power (and it will only cost 1 unit of scan energy). If, however, the code that you scan is equal to or less than your current level, your power will only increase by 1 level. faded shield + 0-star scan = 1 star power faded shield + 1-star scan = 1 star power faded shield + 2-star scan = 2 star power faded shield + 3-star scan = 3 star power faded shield + 4-star scan = 4 star power faded shield + 5-star scan = 5 star power 1-star power + 0-star scan = 2 star power 1-star power + 1-star scan = 2 star power 1-star power + 2-star scan = 2 star power 1-star power + 3-star scan = 3 star power 1-star power + 4-star scan = 4 star power 1-star power + 5-star scan = 5 star power 3-star power + 0-star scan = 4 star power 3-star power + 1-star scan = 4 star power 3-star power + 2-star scan = 4 star power 3-star power + 3-star scan = 4 star power 3-star power + 4-star scan = 4 star power 3-star power + 5-star scan = 5 star power The great news is that if you have a faded shield and you can find the VR code for that 5-star power, you can jump directly to 5-stars using only 1 unit of scan energy. Here's the bad news. The VR codes are marked with the maker's time zone and a timestamp. The game will know if the maker and the scanner are in different time zones and will not allow you to scan a VR code that was created in a different time zone. The timestamp is there because the VR code is only valid for about 4 minutes. After 4 minutes, the game will tell you to "ask your friend to make another code" or something like that. IF you want to share VR codes with somebody in a different time zone, you will need to act quickly. take a screenshot, upload/post. Be sure to include your timezone (utc offset seems fine) and make sure whoever sees your post is ready to scan right away. The scanner needs to: exit the game completely (the game only checks the timezone when it starts) if the game is running in the background and you change time zones, the game will think it's still in your "home" timezone. change his/her timezone to match the VR code maker's time zone startup the game and scan in less than 3 minutes (assuming that the VR code maker can get their stuff done in less than 1 minute)

That's what I figured. I noticed a couple of your shields had the same backgrounds. here's the link to the image set that legozebra mentioned in his first post. http://board.ttvpodcast.com/t/nexo-knights-power-list-incomplete/16524 I prefer having the shield #s (and names wouldnt hurt). that way I can easily figure out where the power is on the chart and whether or not I have it yet.

Glory of Knighton is missing an edge, but it scanned for me. if it doesn't work for anybody, let me know. I may be able to photoshop an edge onto it. From a Google+ community. They have a pretty big set of images, including at least 3 that don't scan on my phone yet. https://plus.google....775541074216573

faded shield + scan 1star = 1 star (requires 1 scan unit) faded shield + scan 2star = 2 star (requires 1 scan unit) faded shield + scan 3star = 3star (requires 1 scan unit) 0star + scan 2star = 2star (requires 1scan unit) 2star + scan 1star = 3star (requires 3 scan units) 2star + scan 2star = 3star (requires 3 scan units) Will continue to do more testing. Does anybody else have access to 2 devices? And willing to play NK on both devices? Or am i just a freak? Lol

did more experimenting. the "friend codes" have some kind of timestamp encoded in them. I tried to scan a 2star power a few hours after I generated it and got an "error message". What level do you have to be to get a lvl 5 power? I only started a few days ago. my phone only has 3 scan units, the ipad has 4 scan units. The farthest that I "jumped" is faded shield to 1star. I'll mess around a little more tonight and see if I can figure out more details about these "scanning shortcuts".

I meant that normally it takes 2 total scans to get from no power to 1 star. faded shield to zero stars zero stars to 1 star If I scan a 1-star power "friend code", I can go from "faded shield" directly to 1-star with only unit of scan energy. I haven't had time to test what happens when you scan 1-star when you have already completed 1 (or more) scans. here's a few friend codes. I doubt you (legozebra) need any of these, though. http://imgur.com/a/g7H9O puzzling. stronghold of resolution code is different for zero stars and 1 star poison burst code is different for zero stars and 1 star bonkers beans code 3 stars is different on my android phone from the code on my ipad never mind. bonkers beans 3stars appears to generate a different code every time on my phone still, I am positive that scanning a 1-star friend code, will take you from faded shield to 1-star in 1 scan.

Is anybody interested in posting "friend codes" or whatever those 2-D grid codes are called? Im playing around with my ipad and phone. I have displayed the "friend code" with 1-star for one of the powers and scanned it. The "receiving" device can go from no power to 1-star using only 1 unit of scan energy. I need to experiment further to see how the star-levels work together when using friend codes.
