Lightning Rounds - June 2-4 - You're All Krakadoomed Edition

Unknown

Batt1e_Ange1 demands worthy sacrifice. She has unilaterally declared an end to the informal forum ceasefire during all Ragnarok and Hood Lightning Rounds this week.

The digital deity came to me in a dream and commanded me to mercilessly attack any names I recognize during those two rounds. She says that if I see a forumer and hit the Skip button, she will know.

Anyway, Daken and Sentry ARE NOT possible pulls from LR tokens so who cares?

Lightning Rounds run for 48 hours beginning Tuesday afternoon and ending Thursday afternoon. All villains receive 50% buffs. All tokens award worthless prizes. Enjoy the ISO!

I don't remember anyone bragging 2 weeks ago that they got uberDaken from a LR token...
I have been ignoring the LRs more and more, mostly farming ISO and only rarely shooting for tokens. If the devs wanted the 2* players to have a shot in the once most competitive format, why drop 2* covers like candy then? It's still 3* players that dominate the format. Not sure about 'leet' LRs but hopefully most 3* players recognized the value of rewards and let others get them.
That made me wish of a format geared towards 3* players, with good HP and better ISO prizes; maybe then they would naturally gravitate there instead of LRs.

Got a quick question here. What's the deal with being attacked by other players when there's still a good 5-10 minutes of seed teams left? Shouldn't everyone run out of seed teams at the same time? Doesn't always happen to me, but it's enough to make me wonder.

rixmith

You only get seed teams if you start the LR within the first minute or so (at least in my experience). So people that start a couple minutes after the start are attacking players, not seed teams. I assume these early defeats come at the hands of these late-starting players.

Thank you for this Ghast!

Totally worth getting hit on the Hood and Rag rounds for levity's sake!

If you hit a forumite, Battle Angel will know!

(A++++++; would read again!)

The goddess has sent me a message:

01010100 01101001 01101011 00100000 01010100 01101111 01101011

I did what I could but Mohio's Punisher gave me a beatdown in short order (some lucky critical cascades didn't help matters) - hopefully the attempt will be enough to appease her

mohio

Haha, was wondering why you would hit me so early in the LR. I don't get a whole lot of defensive wins, so it was a surprise.

HairyDave

I had three seed teams and then you popped up out of the blue - I reckon I could have taken you had Punisher not cascaded himself about 15 black in one turn

When you retaliate, you show up in my queue. I cannot skip you. She'll know.

EDIT: As you can see, she is pleased.

In total, she gave me

4 Captain America
2 Bag-Man
3 Wolverine
1 Thor
2 Moonstone
2 C. Storm
2 Ares
1 Daken
2 Bullseye
2 OBW
3 M. Hawkeye

Ghast is sounding a bit like Thanos and his affections for Death.

Screenshotted for lulz, by the way felt great

gambl0r312

Ghast, I'm not sure whether I should be pleased or not that the game thinks I'm only worth a Bag-man prize

I think a while back when these cover prizes started, WYP was miffed he was only worth a Yelena prize when locked or somebody nailed him....


At least mine sells for 250 ISO not 100


Still worth being hit tho!

I like that locked here is ALSO gearing up to unleash a CTS as the finisher, never mind the 1 Hit Point lulz....

I got over 300 points just off seed teams during my lunch break. I even left Battle Angel's 7 points on the table. I think the highest I've gotten before off seed teams is like 220-230, and that may have been with a defensive win assist.

I also got 16-17 covers, total, so I think I got at least 5000 ISO off of the one round. And it's not even over yet.
