How to Perform Better in High Level PVP?

HailMary

Being at 1000+ over 12 hours out with an unmaxed Sentry will make you an attractive target for a lot of people. At those point levels, any sort of disadvantage would get you significantly more hits, and a L153 Sentry vs. a L166 Sentry is noticeable.

My main advice would be to try to delay your entire shieldhop schedule. A bunch of people start serious climbs around 12-24 hours from end, so if you're already quite high at that point, you're likely to get hit. Also, absolutely avoid T-3hr, since that and T-8hr are absolute feeding frenzies for people climbing just before popping the corresponding shields.

Thanks for your advice. Any other tips? How much HP do you use on average to get to 1300? Should I wait until I have a maxed Sentry?

Your sentry does not have max yellow which means that , I assume, you may need 2 WR to finish the game. That may have contributed to the hits. You may want to wait until you have a well covered sentry before you aim for 1300.

To reach 1300, I use at least 1x 8hr and 2x 3 hr. You may require less shields if you optimize it (say wait up in middle of night). But 3 shields is a safe estimate.

Once I reach 900 - 1000 points, I don't drop my shields AT ALL unless it's for hops. When I first started out, I only use 1 game per hop since I keep getting hit. When I have a max roster (esp with the featured characters), I could go for 2 hops and if im feeling adventurous, 3 hops.

If you had use only 1 game per hop, with 600 hp you could have jump around 5 times. If you lined up a 40 pt target per hop, you would have gotten 200 pts. You were at 1000+ pts right? That would have mean you were close to the 1300 mark.

I usually use two hops to hit 1300, which translates to 2 3hr shields + final 3hr shield because I climb late. That's 225 HP. On bad days, I need 3, which makes it 300 HP even.

I don't think you need to wait for a maxed Sentry, but you'll likely need to make smaller hops than I do because you don't have one.

P.S. - I saw you in my nodes just now.

I could use some help on team comps and how to post on these forums all I can do is reply to posts.

I think you need to post 5 times before you can start a new thread. It's meant to reduce the amount of spam that often congested the forum.

Yeah I figured I had to post some number of times after I thought about it.

I noticed something that improved my play considerably.

I got a new phone, and the game runs so much faster on it. In PVP, I can now get into the 900's before shielding, whereas before I could only get to the 800's.

I guess because of the speed metagame, if you're not running the game on a fast phone, it can limit your potential.

Absolutely!!! You would not believe how many swear words I spew when "Comm Link Disrupted" pops up during a shield hop
