And Now for Something Completely Different... (if not to say irrelevant)

Which node do you play through the seed teams in?

    Bottom Right
    For me it's the one on the bottom right, because it feels closest to the FIGHT button.

    I rotate through them.

    I rotate around. For some reason, it seems I end up with more seed teams if I do that. It's probably just my quirk.

    Since they run them on a tinykitty schedule none of the above...

    Top. So they know who's REALLY tops 'round these parts.

    Other. Standard LRs, I hit the seed with the highest number of combined levels each time, leaving the loaner/2/1 and loaner/1/1 until the end... seems to keep me mid-pack (and less likely to get hit) until all the seed teams are gone.

    Whatever node has seed teams.

    Actually, I'm 90% sure at this point that you do.  If you keep hitting the same node you will usually end up with a score of 229.  If you rotate the nodes (or possibly vary it a little bit, I haven't done extensive experimentation,) you will almost always end up with a score of 245 - one more hit.

    I tinykitty you not..  I used to always hit the top node, then I stumbled on this and discovered that I can get an extra fight if I rotate.  And I was doing the former for years.

    The real question for the rotaters is where do you start and do you go clockwise or counterclockwise?

    Start at the top, rotate clockwise. Is there any other way to do it?

    Bottom Left
    Bottom left is my favorite, though not the one I start with.  I play with my left hand, so I hit the lower left with my thumb and its easier.  So I usually start with one of the others (usually the highest leveled team) and play that one and keep playing it until A) its a broken rewards node and I farm that node for 250iso until I run out of seeds, or b) my favorite seed team shows up.  Then I'll switch to the bottom left and beat that mule.

    Once seeds are gone, I return to my saved favorite node and put out my trap cake.

    Bottom left is closest to the skip/fight buttons, so that's where I hit, PvP or LR.

    Bottom right. I use my right hand index finger for tapping most of the time and it's the closest one.

    That's how I do it. :)  Hmm, I wonder if can get the magical 260 by going the other way!

    I go top and counter clockwise. Got 260 several times, but I think it has more to do with which team we have in the cache. If we clear them in the wrong order, then we get one or two less seed teams.
    Note to self: Try it this way.

    Correct - if the next name in the cache is already out, it gets skipped :(
