The Moonshot Event is a special limited-time event that focuses on batting and big hits. You build a team with any combination of hitters and pitchers—even Bronze and Common pitchers work—and step to the plate to hit home runs, score runs, and rack up wins.
It's all about power hitting, skill, and timing. The better you perform, the bigger your rewards.
