    To Koolbiird and the rest of the top guys, can you let me know which you would avoid more

    a 110 IM40 5/4/4 or a 101 Mags 5/1/5?

    101 Mags any day of the week and twice on Sunday.

    No brainer. 5/1/5 Mags. Defense and Magnetic Translocation does big damage and cascade opportunities to set up your teammates with their abilities. IM40 has the ability to do big damage, but it cost AP in other colors which makes your matches longer. Longer matches turn into I won 25 and lost 67 while mags can get you quicker wins and and more defense wins for you. IM40 is strategically placed late in the tourney to deter attacks because of his high health. Early on Mags is the key.

    Wow thanks everyone for the advice, really helpful. Now lets see if I can land in the top 1000. Good luck to everyone.

    Can't recall I was ever frightened of IM40 even buffed ones. Mags -- now that is a different story icon_e_wink.gif.

    IMO IM40 is just good for the service on offense helping your win strategy. As the AI has no clue defensively he's mostly ballast that can win only on the same blind luck you can lose to cascades.

    Update

    At 347 points, just outside of the top 1000. So top 400 would probably need over 450 points.

    Its so tight in the top 10 at the moment, with a few squads up there that are punching above their weight - should be a very interesting two days.

    498 is good for #257 right now - Just looking to push for Top 100 in the final stretch to recoup entry costs. Grinding ISO in the meantime.

    I am going to burn through an ungodly amount of HP in this tourney... Can we all agree to throw up a one day shield and resume climbing with 24 hrs to go?

    The interesting thing about this tournament is that I'm not even sure if I would want to win it: cover progression is a big part of the game, and if you don't need any more covers, then you would just be playing to grind iso, which isn't as entertaining for me.

    It's gonna be fun seeing it pan out. Being the carrot and having this huge bullseye on me is such an adrenaline rush

    Note to self, do not agree to family dinner in the middle of an elite tourney...

    And if you do, make sure you time your shield to cover duration of dinner...

    Happy Birthday mom. sigh.

    That was an impressive push. I thought Josemartins would peg you mid stride

    He did. 2-3 times.

    He took 14-18 I took 32-36. He helped me right along.

    Has it been determined for certain that the reward is EVERY power meaning maxed characters, or does it mean ONE cover of every power?

    Has to mean 1 cover of every color. No question.
