I just gotta know how does someone with a 85 awolvie, 85 obw, and 23 cap beat a 141 LT, 85 obw and 70-something cap? It just doesn't make sense to me. If I tried that I would get slaughtered every time

    Lots of boosts? I've played a few matches where my squad was better on paper then caught a bad board and my opponent got lucky with a crazy cascade/power loop and took out one of my guys quick, effectively neutering my team. It happens.

    It happens all the time though lol. I almost never ever get victories against teams like that on defense. Its insane

    I wouldn't try a team quite that much better than mine, but between boosts, luck, and a canny player's advantages over the AI, it doesn't seem absolutely undoable.

    Long Version:
    All the player must do is takedown your OBW first thus eliminating you from healing. Then use Wolvie to throw down Stike Tiles while using their own OBW to steal your AP and heal the team while all the focus is on destroying your LT because Lazy Cap is pretty much useless at LVL 70. (I would know mines at 72.) Then destroy your Lazy Cap.

    Short version:
    Destroy OBW, Lay Strike Tiles, Steal, Heal, Destroy LT, Steal, Heal, Destroy LC.

    The REALLY Short version: The AI is functionally ****.

    Hahaha thanks for all the moral support fellas. Should I replace obw with punisher?

    There's nothing particularly weird about that matchup because your OBW will probably die first, and there's a lot of time to get Aggressive Recon against the very expensive abilities of LT/LC which you won't have when your OBW dies. A character like The Punisher or Psylocke fares better against OBW than LT, but they also fare worse against most stronger characters compared to LT. It's generally not enough to worth give up LT's superior matchup against virtually anyone else just for some marginal improvement against OBW.

    ^ He's not giving up LT, he's subbing Punisher instead of oBW. Or not.

    ^ exactly this. I would then be running punisher and LT with required if its better

    Quite simple: presence of LC screws up AI using LT yellow. Maybe even red, but that is not such a big deal.

    Without the yellow LT is not that good really and if attacking OBW keeps stealing the AP it's just matter of patience. If attacker is willing to pack palette + either r+g or purple to have a good head start, it's not really hard either, if you worth 40+ point for the last match makes perfect sense. Attacking OBW better have 5 in AR. icon_e_smile.gif
