Accept their gimmick and start optimizing from there. :v: It's a lot more fun for everyone involved, since it doesn't turn into the unfun situation of taking control over fighters from your teammates (I was too pushy in the first team test tournament, and we paid for it)

Not counting gremlin-sized martial artists and such, I'm yet to see a build that can't be made to work with a bit of tweaking.
edit: Wait, no, Bad Munki's gremlin martial artist managed to kill something. So... yeah...

I have actually won fights both with a Minotaur crossbowman and a Minotaur armed only with 30 crossbow bolts. This is not a game you should min-max your dude, because there's a pretty good chance a single random roll lets the gimmick build slaughter him.

Oh it's really quite simple. See, I just go ahead and do my typical gently caress Rogers poo poo build, and then we see to it that my commissioner either runs the match or calls in a favor on whoever's running the fight, and then that person sees to it that I lose.

Randomness is a big part of the fun, mostly because it allows builds that are "just crazy enough to work", especially when you know exactly what kind of crazy you need.

To use the career of my armored snakeman Tincan from a previous tournament as an example - I went with a gimmick steel plated biter build for the first fight and won. I figured my next oponent will try to counter my gimmick with some armor of their own to avoid getting owned by venomous bites, so I changed my build and countered the counter by buying a hammer and enough skill to reliably use it, and had fun reading the surprised reactions in the thread after I easily won the fight. Then, I was up against a molemarian with an axe. I figured that the only way for me to lose the fight is for the other guy to upgrade his weapon to adamantine, so I went ahead and upgraded my armor to counter this. Except, that's not what he did. Instead of going for a conservative, and generally excellent build that would unfortunately get him killed in this particular fight, he went for something crazy that might actually beat my fighter, even though it was somewhat of a long shot: He sold his weapon and respecced to unarmed fighting. The fight ended with his fighter being on the ground and close to death, and then suddenly grabbing the hammer out of my fighter's hands and beating her to a pulp with it. I genuinely enjoyed that loss more than I'd have enjoyed winning the fight, because holy poo poo, that was a really cool last second twist, and it wasn't just lolrandomness, it was the result of a creative, gutsy plan by that ended up working. How could I be upset about that?

Have you heard about First Dog? It's a very good comic I just love.

Also, wear your bike helmets kids. I copped several blows to the head but my helmet left me totally unscathed.



Finally you should check out First Dog as it's a good comic I like it very much.

My gimmick Yeti takes that as a challenge and, assuming she doesn't pass out from a stubbed toe, looks forward to smashing Min/Maxotaur to paste in rounds 2 and 17!

A quick question for Jazzimus Prime, so I know how doomed I am:

Do gauntlets, gloves, and boots cover the fingers and toes? I recall reading that they didn't at one point, and I am suddenly worried about my Achilles toes.

Bringing your thread to a screeching halt, guaranteed.

Don't worry about co-ordinating your builds. No other team would go to the effort to synergize themselves into the perfect collaborative killing machine. No team will. Certainly not OUR team. Don't worry.

It depends on the fighter race. There is a small bonus each round during the 18-round regular season, and then much larger bonuses for reaching and advancing in the playoff.
