I'm debating if I should start early /shield often to get that 1100 reward or get a later bracket which only needs 700-800 for a top 10 finish, but less stress & no 1100 reward.

Since they removed the 50 HP, I think I'm going to see how well I can do with no shielding - I can't keep spending HP on shields or I'll run out soon - and just live with the single cover. I think I'm going to stop trying to finish top 10 all the time (I can't remember the last time I didn't) and live with the single cover and focus on ISO, even though I need the GSBW covers. I think I can reliably do top 50 without shields, and it's only really the difference between one cover and two.

Decent points up to 600, past 600 the usual 10, 15 pointers. And after 750 The whole S.H.I.E.L.D crew in the queue (saw Jachdo, WYP, Polarity, Bubbleboy). No attacks, but that's probably only due to easier targets being available than my max Punisher, max Patch team. Everyone can beat those, but there's always the chance of a bad cascade ruining the match, so you skip to someone easier until you're out of options.

To be honest, I've been avoiding you lately since you came up about 100 times during last weeks LRs. I try not to spam attacks unless I'm not given other options. ...and as several people have pointed out, I have a weakness for retaliations. I don't want to bring S.H.I.E.L.D to its knees with my over enthusiasm.

After that, I usually stop. The problem arises when I finish that last fight, get the popup saying you are '501', immediately followed by 'BowGentle has attacked you! -42 points !" /sigh Thus it begins.

I don't think I ever saw you before you had over 700 points, so that can't have been me

Oh OK, LRs are something else, yeah - I might have hit you in one of the hero ones, I went for two or three of those. Will make a mental note to let you get to 500 if I see you, it's not like I'm going out of my way to fight your godlike roster

Hell, I need to fight 5 battles, when someone will hit me once for -40? No, thank You. Hopefully next time there will be more people worth better points. But 1100pts Captain Morgan (a.k.a. the Red) seems to be elusive right now.

Well, Bubbleboy is at 1102, so you could get 40 off him - if you feel like trying your luck against a maxed Lazy Thor and Black Panther At least he was at 1102 when I skipped around.
