Yeah I've been relying on my quality divas for wins since I started, currently a max pro SR AJ with a max UR Brie waiting for a pair.

Everyone having a SR Paige is gonna wreck my whole strategy

A lot of people aren't leveling up their Paige's before combining them.

I have over 2000 games played (with about 90% winrate) and the two SR Paige that I got for that were the first two divas I got above Rare.

I was surprised that I got both Bellas in a row like that considering how often people in this thread have been lamenting the fact that they're several tiers above where I am and still only have a couple Rare divas.

Who did Tyson Kidd piss off to get such abysmal stats? I understand that he's mostly an NXT guy these days, but his especially terrible speed is a little bizarre. He's a reasonably flippy dude!

The most fun metagame element of this game for me has been figuring out goofy tag team names. E.g. The backup team I'm running in my current KotR is America's Strongest Americans.

Maxed pros are a little better than maxed non-pro cards of the tier above, so it would be better than a maxed non-pro SR but not a maxed non-pro UR

Ladder super rare John Cena is slightly better points wise then regular super rare John Cena.

And I just learned doesn't combine with regular super rare John Cena, after I used my other one as training material. :smith:

Sick as it makes me to say this, Cena's the better bet unless you're banking on getting the diamond(?) legendaries. L Cena's power beats anything but L Brock anyway, and L Cena's other stats keep him competitive with the rest of the legendaries.

On the other hand, gently caress Cena, why are you making me want to take his card, 2K?

I don't understand why Erick Rowan is a better card than Roman Reigns and why he has such high Charisma. Whomever designed this game is clearly a fan of him and Eva Marie.

well basically everyone gets the same rewards at the end of it, so it's mostly personal preference. And seeing as the ladder rewards are cena anyway, I don't want to have to see a million cenas every match, so vote brock.

The taunt card is probably better than the manager one though, so in pure 'which cards are better' terms Cena wins lol and if you're planning to win the whole thing you'll want that

This aspect of the game is probably my favourite. I love when people clearly pick decks based on the character and not the actual stats, so my SR Christian constantly runs through Rocks, HBK's, and Hogans.

How the hell does the AI choose cards in KotR? Two tournaments in a row I've been hosed in the first round of the tournament because it chose ADR instead of the Rock for a charisma match (a 50 point loving difference)

my conspiracy theory is that Erick Rowan's stats are what we would have if a certain Charles Montgomery Punk was licensed in the game. "Oh no, we need to put someone in this slot! Quick, who haven't we used? The other Wyatt dude? Sure, why not."

I'm in Ultra Rare++ and the ladder reward SR Paige cards are the first time I've gotten higher than a rare Diva card. That said, the max-leveled SR Paige by herself won't take out anyone, but bah gawd it looks like she turns into a monster when made into a Pro version. Yikes.

I ran into a level 23 SR Pro Paige and her stats were ~3 lower than my Max Pro SR AJ's

At a glance, she seems to be a UR masquerading in blue.

It's actually a very plausible theory, it definitely explains why Rowan has a Legendary and Harper and Wyatt don't.

Edit: New theory, Rowan replaced Punk and Tyson Kidd inherited the original stats Rowan was given.

Also, Cena only has five moves across his six cards.

Also, on the 2K forums they started working on a spreadsheet for the card stats at max level (pro cards listed are if you max the non-pros before combining). I copied it over to my own for better formatting because they were sorting it by name instead of stats.

For now, I'm going to keep any super rares just in case I get a second and can Pro them. I would say once I am getting Pro URs I will consider the super rares to be trash.

I fed my Titus O'Neil to Goldust, which I realized might have been a bad move because I MIGHT find another O'Neil.

Looking at the spreadsheet again, the ladder John Cenas have higher POW and CHA, but lower TGH and SPD.

I save one of of everything until I've made a Pro version, then feed it. Other than that, I'll only hold on to what I'm actively using. And sometimes I'll have cards I've been training to use as food later. And now I'm gonna be holding on to those Gold cards because I am a sucker.

But yeah, anything not actively being used/one of a kind, I feed.

I'm in Epic+, and pretty close to Epic++, and these Paige cards are my first SR Divas. It'll be nice to have Diva fights that aren't an automatic loss. (I mean, I'm probably still going to lose, what with all the URs and Epics, but still...)
