Had two very ugly matches early into my run up and had to shield at 879. Debating whether it's worth another 75 to guarantee T5 for covers I already have and don't need, when right now it's looking like that score will hold for T10 which would net me...125 profit after accounting for a full set of +alls and 1 3 hour And after this past week, I'm not exactly hurting for Took from 140 to 160 for this, and XF from 166 to 190. And still have 60k more than I did before LRs started Moonroach, saw you in the bracket as well. It's definitely a nice lazy one, save for Squillz who got all crazy on it at near 1600.

It sucks that you have to pay an extra 75 hp for not being able to wait to shield in the last 3 hours, but what does the end time have to do with you missing Top 100? The only time playing at the end matters is if you're fighting for top 10. If you're trying to get top 100, you can shield at 5-600 points two days before the event ends and still hit it fine.

I don't get it either. Why did you push at the end at all? Or did you mistime your first shield? Edit: or did you expect your score to hold t100? What was it, by the way?
_RiO_ wrote: Guess what; end time matters a lot when points don't really start to climb until the last few hours... I shielded with iirc. approx. 580 points and earned 13 more from an attacker that lost to me; either someone that still had me in their queue or a retaliation, which would put my total just below 600. Yet that landed me squarely outside of the top 100. Try explaining that.
locked wrote: Wow, 580 is really low for any transition roster. Pretty sure transitioners should be able to hit 700+. 700 is generally the visibility barrier so a transitioner can do quick battles beyond 700 as healthpacks allow and then shield up. Don't forget to tank if you need it (and most transitioners do).
