How to Pull when Odin lands in LLs

ThaRoadWarrior

I don't play for placement, just full progression. But that SCL10 PVE grind is still asking a lot when it comes to taking up a percentage of my day, so I like faster teams. But also I would say for me a very large component of why this game vs some other game is because I do like the IP, and once you turn off the animations it's barely a skin over the match 3.

That makes more sense, but I’m also curious who you’re running. I’m never confident I’m using the fastest combo. Plus I leave animations on; turning them off takes all the charm of the IP out of it so then what’s the point, you know?

If you are playing for placement, any player without the animations will end faster than you depending of the passives and characters but possibly will end a 50% faster.

It happens in all games, even in those not playing on speed: once you turn off the animations you only turn on them for watching the moves of a new character  and after that you can't stand them anymore.
Sad but true story.

I love the animations , I’d never turn them off . It isn’t worth omitting just to get better rewards. If I wanted to play games without animation I’d still be playing Zork!

Text adventures are dope; I still remember when Candybox swept through the studio and everybody had a browser window open to grind those candies and lollipops…

I’m thinking that instead of a complete 5* meta team if I can consistently complete progression in SCL10 PVE that should be a great start. My understanding is that a champed Kitty with Grocket and Polaris will let me do that, with my undercovered BRB able to complete a winfinite for the more challenging nodes. I’m not sure of the current thinking after that, but it would probably be to keep up with the latest and hope for favourable boost lists. Or screw latest and pull from classics and pray for favourable rng, lol.

Yeah I have noticed your love for Polaris on this board, and got damn, Kitty just adds to that love.  

On a pure fun level regardless of anything, Kitty should be the number one priority I think of anyone in 4* land.  She’s just so dependable and maxes out everything you already got going on. 

Edit: also I don’t know if you’ve messed around with SCL 10 much but it’s pretty forgiving, you can get max progression while still skipping all the challenge nodes and sometimes even skip 5* nodes that are a pain in the ****.  Anyone in upper 4* area should totally be doing SCL 10 I think, because the rewards are so much better.

You have been eaten by a Groot?

Perfectly fine.
For reasons like this one you are not playing for placement on pvp and I usually do.

Get 1 Odin then wait, these guys stink

I did SCL10 with Heart of Darkness once and the Mindless Ones, especially the Savage,  left me traumatized. That and I was only able to beat most nodes with the BRB/Polaris/Juggernaut winfinite, so took quite a while. I thought about it with the Meet Rocket and Groot event, but with the thought of powering through Juggernaut and two Maggia Muscle I figured I would do SCL9 instead. I need a broader 5* roster to max my rewards to be sure. 

The chat telling me how I voted each time I respond has to be a glitch. Or maybe it feels that I am extremely anti-Odin.

Is Odin landing today, or next week?
