OmerB Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 (edited) I hoped to finish 1st, but I finished 5th... 😭 On this new week, I'm with XXDongXX and Bobick, so I won't aim for 1st. Chill top 4 (hopefully) for me at max. Edited February 22 by OmerB 1 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lapokabo Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Another week another Top15 ! Without using any mythic boosters Congratz to Maxie and Speleol2 (I watched your battle from afar, I am curious as who took 1st place though) This week's blessing is not great for recent players (3 M6 only) I'm hoping next week's blessing will be more neutral. 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boosters are important, but not the only thing that determine the outcome in this days. Since the skills you can cover not ideal booster with a good skilling - at least until more of the others have learned how to skill and do it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Der DinX Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 (edited) Indeed there was a great difference between the previous skilled team (legendary / green eyes), and now the mostly unskilled mythics. At first I thought I had the weak gear on, but no of course not. ----- Anybody else noticed a lot slower reaction of the simulator the last days? On my Smartphone I don't get results anymore, at least I haven't waited long enough, if there might come something. On PC it takes quite longer than before and Firefox is hanging a few seconds. I even get the message, the site is slowing down the browser. In the other games it is also slower, but HH is extrem with the hanging.

jelom Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 The second part of the week my team was a bit weak, so in the end I couldn't reach more than 5th place. For this week I will try a relaxed approach for top 15 3 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator DvDivXXX Posted February 23 Moderator Share Posted February 23 ------------------ D3 run #185 2024/02/15-22 (Spade Week 4 - no LG available for me) My cheapest top 4 in quite awhile: @Ol Sheriff Joe likely has a screenshot taken closer to reset time, but since I finished #2 nothing major changed during the final hours. Congrats to you for the win (only 12 points lost in the end, if I calculated correctly; 430i's script doesn't guesstimate lost points as well as it used to, at least in my case, so I don't rely on it as much). And thanks for your support. Knowing from the start I was just aiming for a top 4, Joe would no doubt take the win and there was hardly anyone else, let alone two or more opponents who could contest either of us, I went for as cheap as possible while still having a safe enough margin. So I've made a lot less refills than usual, I've used 4 gins twice, 4 chlores once, never more than 2 cordys at a time, and I even saved up on LM/AMEs. A lot of the really weak opponents offered me perfect scores without the extra boost anyway, and in a few cases not boosting my Attack actually helped mitigate lost points against tough Reflect teams. I didn't count exactly, but I'd say I've made at least a solid third of my fights without a PvP mythic booster. I also used AMEs I got for free from recent reward tracks instead of LMs I typically have to buy with kobans, since Season fights aren't as crucial this month because they don't count for HA anyway (plus at some point I was stashing them for KC). So it was almost certainly a net gain for me overall. My new group this week looks promising, with no threat I've identified and a lot of fairly chill NPCs. I've noted @Rylarth featuring as a guest star, and I expect him to make a comfortable top 4 here, but I don't think he could contest my win even if he was dead set on it, and it would be costly for him to try anyway. Feels a bit like the same situation as the previous week, but I get to be in Joe's shoes, and Rylarth in mine. ^^ Good luck have fun this week, folks. Stay safe! 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bragorus Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 I didn't do any screens due to RL circumstances, but I finished 2nd again. I had too much RL stuff going on as I'm going to start a new job in about a week. This means, I won't have as much time as I used to have and this will undoubtly have an influence on my outcomes in the league. Priorities This week I'm with Bolitho so I guess I won't have much of a chance. But we'll see. Good luck to everybody. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XXDongXX Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 This week i realised i still don't have enough mythic light bulbs to run a full team of mythics. But i guess not so many of us can run a fully skilled mythic team. I was a bit curious about divine ken, he had not a single win in his score board, but he was the toughest oponent for me in terms of predicted score/total power. He rushed for first place at monday after blessings change and i had no idea how many points he might have lost. In the end he didn't show up in top 4 one hour before the end of the league. So he's strong but seems not to play clever or simply has not enough time to do it. I finished first and winning streak goes on. Maybe anonther win will follow this week if i haven't overseen someone dangerous. But i won't start underestimating anyone now so no chill mode but armed to the teeth and ready for whatever may come. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But i guess not so many of us can run a fully skilled mythic team. Yep. Whales only for now (or at the very least players who buy the season pass every month, which is around €60 a year, so not quite whaling, but still far from F2P). I can run up to 4 M6s comfortably (with up to 3 of them having their GS5) and I'm about halfway through on my journey to slowly collect enough red light bulbs for a 5th one. So a full team isn't happening for me until probably another year or so. Besides, it's very unlikely a full team of Mythics will exist that can benefit somewhat decently from GS3 (or even elemental)* synergies anytime soon, if ever. So this basically only kind of works exactly when the Mythic rarity itself has a massive buff from a Blessing (as is the case right now on dot com with +40%), and the other Blessing pales in comparison (just like the current +25% to the Doggie pose). And even then, it's not the smartest move for everybody. Only for players who don't mind throwing away any semblance of theory crafting and going for a pile of raw stats instead, and only for one week every other blue moon. Which also matches a lot of typical whales, incidentally (bar the precious few who also happen to be good players and participate in this community). Right now, I'm sporting a modified version of my go-to main team with two extra M6s thrown in (I normally run two). And I've selected them carefully so that they at least don't completely ruin the team's buff engine. They still weaken it a fair bit, but nothing as bad as running the 4 double-blessed ones at the "top of the charts" on Zoo's spreadsheet for this week, whose respective buffs completely disagree with each other except for the single Yellow who at least buffs the Pose they all share: The other three buff Blue Hair, Pink Hair, and Red Hair respectively, and Lupa's Mom has Golden Hair, so at best it's possible to pick three more M6s with one of the three single-buffed hair colors to round up the team. None of them buff anything relevant for the rest of the "team", though (okay, at most, MD Bianca can buff MD Kumiko through Virgo, and I think there's one more single buff to be had by mixing and matching that way). That's a really shitty patchwork of a "team" the instant the +40% buff rotates out. So yeah, it's really only "worth it" for players with more resources on their hands than they know what to do with. Mostly whales. Edited February 24 by DvDivXXX 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good gs3 buffs while running those double blessed girls indeed is tricky. But the raw power they bring is worth having them in the team. I decided to put in Royal Housemaid, Bright Agathe and nanami. So the team is build around Doggy pose and blue eyes, while still having a balanced team, which allows me to wear in my best possible hero equipment and don't worry about any counter bonusses. Having 6 M6s in my team is doable right now but not 7. Buying the saeson pass regulary definetly helped with that. Since i am used to throw away my team after blessings change i don't think much about that fact when setting up my team. It only cost me Ymens and i still have enough of those, so that is ok for me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Ol Sheriff Joe Posted February 24 Moderator Share Posted February 24 Another week in Desert Town, another last man standing who saw a weary Sheriff going, 'lone but victorious back to the saloon... Here's the latest 'wanted' post one could stare at in Main Street after all was done : Some things happened in the few hours between dawn and noon, as the strong @petrand @Youta Tadaclaimed their due to a honor spot, but none of the two beat @DvDivXXX at it. The Sheriff, counting of his beloved (and so so spoiled ladies), walked pretty much unscatted out of the bout... even if one is forced to notice that, week after week, more and more of the outlaws enlighten their female teams, and well... it's for the best! It's in a healthy competition that a stronger Order will triumph (or so the Sheriff woud brag after a glass of milk or two, as of course, 'Order' means his nasty hide...) Now, onto a new week, and a new invasion... Let's see what it will bring, and more important, how much 'Order' it will need ^^ 1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know thats a base chit chat topic, but relative as actual blessing (mythic girls), i have bulbs enough to have 6 mythics and 1-2 Full upgraded (being a F2P 100%), but since im weak compared of the players on my bracket (and the last 3 prévios too), Will be very hard reach a top 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I'm wondering if my redhead strats are no longer good enough or if that's an occasional "bad week" for it. We'll see in the coming weeks. 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator bolitho76 Posted February 29 Moderator Share Posted February 29 Gratulation to Bragorus for his 1st - well played! I had some issues this week - there were some opponents I couldn't catch unboosted (marcel, bohammettuz for example), rng kicked my ass (see some posts above) and one time I was in half sleeping mode in the morning and forgot to change from my defense team to my attak team - so I did 15 fights and realized after them that I could have gotten at least 30 points more easily out of theese fights... 1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(placeholder statistic) Thank you, Sir, I know how this RNG stuff is, I had that happen too, not as bad as you though. I had a strong fully skilled mysthic girl team, so I did most (hard) fights before mondays blessing reset. After that I had a couple weak to medium opponents left, but I couldn't get most unbuffed. I used again various mixes of Clorellas and Cordys. I used 2 LM/AM boosters for the 2nd half of the fights. I didn't think I'll have a chance for 1st, but here I am .. happy as sh!t. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lapokabo Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 Finished 9th (best ranking so far). Still no mythic boosters or cordyceps used, I'm keeping those for later when I'll be able to challenge for a Top4. Congrats to Slava Ukraini who managed to maintain first place from beginning till end. 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
