Why cookie Rocket posted:Wait, am I reading this right that the tag team doesn't matter at all? No. It's just an easy place to dump 2 commons since it only counts as 1 slot. If your other 3 slots (2x Solo + Diva) win 100% of the time (because you are fielding Epics against SRs, for example), you will win... 100% of the time against everyone not doing the same.

Telex posted:uh what? But yeah, going in with as few high level cards as you need to make it to the contender's bracket and then finals is your objective. The problem with saying there is a "best" way is that it's gonna depend on how other people in your KotR are cheesing it.

triplexpac posted:Only thing I can think of with low ranked people like that is that they played the game a while, decided they liked it, then deleted their account to start over with top level cards and attempt a huge unbeaten record. But a lot of them are like 100-80. I just cracked into Legend+, and they're sitting ducks because none of their poo poo is levelled. KotR chat: I threw all my best cards in, made it to the top of Epic tier, and then grinded enough to get over the hump into Legendary. Free Epic every two days, stockpiling experience on Rares until I luck into a double, and don't need to worry about stamina or even bother to sub my cards. Currently 2-27. 30 seconds per 2 days for an Epic. Or $25.

I've been at Legendary ++ for almost a week now and I haven't gotten a legendary since the Pump It Up I got as my guaranteed drop. I'm getting a little annoyed.

Yeah drop rates are pretty absurd. At least eliminate commons or something.

What tier KOTR are you able to do? As mentioned this page, at a certain point, you look at the level of the card you can get for making the knockout round versus how often the cards drop in Exhibition mode and start putting yourself in KOTRs on a constant basis. I sneaked into Epic KOTR and even if I fail I'll get an UR wrestler, but if I make the knockout I'd get an Epic guy and so far I only have had one (my automatic drop for making Epic in Exhibition).

Exhibition is only for getting cards to feed to your players. Once you give up and come to that realization, the game is okay. Never expect to get a single usable card from exhibition, because the chances of you getting a second to pro whatever you got the first time while it's still relevant for you to use it is absurdly low. It's already something like 1/1000 for UR cards, I assume it's 1/5000 for Epic and maybe 1/10,000 for Legendary. No proof, but considering the drop rates people have mentioned elsewhere, you should just abandon hope. Play KOTR, just always chain run the thing. Play Exhibition for energy and boosts and when you need cards to feed something if you get a useful pair from KOTR. The whole 100 card limit really curbs the usefulness of Exhibition anyway, since at some point you end up wasting cards feeding things you will never play and the return from feeding a higher level card is not 1:1 with what you put into it so you lose some when you do that. In theory if you do it right, you'll get at least an A-team you can start to level up in 2 weeks of not even playing the game very much and then grind a People's Champ weekend to feed the stuff you got from the last 2-3 KOTRs and that's basically the game.

I've logged a ridiciulous number of exhibition games played in SuperCard (I'm almost at the Epic Cena ladder reward). In that time I've pulled a total of three non-freebie Epic cards - a trash can, Daniel Bryan, and Ryback - and zero non-freebie Legendary cards. As has been stated earlier, just set and forget your KOTR deck and collect a guaranteed Epic/Legendary card with little to no effort in two days. interpunct fucked around with this message at 15:32 on Oct 10, 2014 |

I completely lucked out in a KOTR where the 1st seed has three Legendary Pros and a common tag team. He forgot to re-energize his cards when the knockout round began, so I managed to sneak into a finals matchup and ended up with a pair of Ultimate Warriors in a losing effort. EDIT: Whoa, my Diamond Brock's stats changed. From:  To:

So, the other day I complained about getting an Epic AJ pair from my KOTR cause I already had an Epic Pro Naomi, the best Epic Diva. After this patch "rebalancing", maxed out Epic Pro AJ is now my strongest card. This is hilarious to me.

It looks like they increased all the diva cards so they would line up with the male wrestlers.

Erik Rowan swapped TGH and CHA now becoming a mediocre Big Show knockoff.  In addition to buffing the Divas to male levels, my SR Nikki Bella and SR Paige are now the same total stats, but Nikki now beats Paige on 3 out of 4 stats. Guess I can swap back now.

The biggest tragedy of Punk's retirement is that the Punk/Cena rivalry will never be complete. The RAW match for the Wrestlemania shot is their best match in my opinion, but not a really satisfying ending  ANYWHO, gotta wait 3 hours to get my Epic pair from this KOTR. Hopefully it's not another diva!

Nash and Booker T are in two of those matches at least so I think they're probably in the game edit: also Flair is in one but seems obvious that he'd be in

Woo! Today much better than yesterday. SR Pro Paige finally got me my free epic (Bray Wyatt) and I manage to force my way back from 4-12 to the finals of the KotR against the dude with all the Epics. I guess I'll be happy with my UR pair, whatever they are.

On second thought, I shouldn't have been complaining about the drop rate. Especially since I finally got another Epic Undertaker, thus making my team completely Epic Pros and they're more powerful than base Legendary cards.

My two potential tweaks to the game would be moving the floor of "resetting the board" up to Rare once you hit a certain point, because by that time (whichever time proves best for balance) those Rare or even Super Rare cards are just bigger XP doses to train cards. The other change would be giving three cards for a 3-0 win to help get XP cards faster. [Edit] and also got into the bracket for my Epic KOTR, guaranteed Epic card wooooo
