That far up in the ranks the only way you are gonna get too good if match ups is to specifically wait for someone above you to unshield, especially in a non-bracketed event. Once you see someone in top 10 unshield it shouldn't take more than 10-15 skips to find em. Not usually at least. Yeah that was what I was trying to do. I burnt through 1000 ISO skipping like gangbusters the moment someone unshielded but no cigar..... Yeah I should have known you knew the routine. Skip tax makes those few fruitless occasions quite frustrating. Haha! All in all the +30 bonus has been great though if you think about it collectively.

I think it's more that there doesn't seem to be almost anybody unshielding in the top 15 or so. Kevindlu tried making a couple of pushes and I thankfully got him a couple of times, but other than that...it's pretty dry.

I fought him 3-4 times during the day. He was running Sue Storm and I'm fairly sure that his IW jumped from around 150 to 230 between the first and last time I hit him.

M Hawkeye, Ares, Moonstone, Loki. Yay! Way to go! Where is your victory iso going? BP? My BP is cover-capped. I maintain a pretty big float for tourney situations. And I spread my ISO around which means unfortunately my roster is strong but not elite. These are my current top guys, and I'm undecided who to pump ISO into next: IM40 121 C Mag 108 Spidey 100 Patch 100 Psylocke 100 BWGS 90 Punisher 90 Then a bunch of maxed 2* Then: Hulk 80 (missing my 5th black) Doom 75 Hood 70
