Stay On Target - June 03-05 - Season XV

Unknown

So, giving PVP another try after being burned by all the changes.

Seems like double point gain is a good deal - I jumped into a fresh bracket that ends at 12 EST, want to see if I can get to 1k points even though I'm a nub. Need the points from skipping last PVP and not hitting any point walls.

Could also really use Rocket & Groot covers...particularly Yellow and Blue.



Will be streaming this and ISO-8 Brotherhood chapter 2 afterwards if anyone wants to take a gander at the lay of the land.

EDIT: Got 800 points thru a 9 point defensive win, highest I've been + a bullseye cover,yey!

EDIT: Getting attacked like crazy at 800 pts, I guess that's what folks mean when they say defensive wins don't matter when you can just attack someone for double the points or take on a less challenging foe for equal points!

EDIT: How do you get 1000 pts? Keep getting attacked like lightning rounds

Yeah, I just got hit for -59 points in the very last minute. That's the difference between top 100 and not for me. I'm pretty disappointed considering how many hours I spent playing this PvP.

yeah, it seems like with double points, it doesn't make sense to shield(or do retaliation attacks, but that's a different story). I might just try to get as high progression as possible and just let myself fall if I get hit. I just went from #15 to #106(yes, I lost some matches, but I've never been booted out of that many places like THAT. Also, my Patch/Daken combo is really sad right now that everyone's beating them

You really have to use shields if you want that 1000 point progression. As you said previously, once you hit 800 points it just take a couple of minutes before you get sucker punched by 5-6 people and loose 200 points.

Also because of the boosted characters, having 2 non-boosted Lvl 166 characters is not much a deterrent.

Well, like I said this was my first foray into "new" PVP...and if hitting 800 is the new 300/400 for me, I'm fine with that.

And that blows that Daken/Patch are no longer deterrents. It's all about the iso....

Do you think I could hit 1000 if I did it wayyy before the end of the event?

Daken/Patch never were deterrents for developed rosters - especially not in a Bullseye PVP where your strike tiles get blown up by the featured char.
They're ok to climb if you don't have better options, but they paint a giant "kick me" sign in your behind.

No, you'll never make it to 1k with those two without way too much HP for shields.

Patch was never a deterrent? He sure detered me, lol.

Okay I guess I'll just stick to 800 pts until I get more 166s....

woot - my first 1K!! (a little tardy on the post). FYI - spent 600 on hops and used 166Lthor/142loki (not a good hopping team - relatively slow). most of the hops I got hit once during. during peak times I only tried 2 matches per hop. once at 5:30 AM I did 4 matches. still got hit once. last push was all or nothing, played 3 matches and got attacked once, but was a defensive win (yay, 6 pts ). that put me at 1009 for the xf green. didn't want to spend 300 on the last shield, so ended up in the upper 500s in pts at ~160th place (going to finish my grocket this week in ddq anyway).
