The variance in cards of the same tier is kinda rough.

Rare Luke Harper at level 15 had lower stats than rare Hogan at level 10.

500 / 21 :smith:

And I hit the card limit with no dupes and all of my cards on the edge of leveling up and had to bite the bullet and move into Super Rare+ tier.

Which meant I was able to combine my two lvl20 rare Hogans into monster pro Hogan and level him up to 10 and switch my lvl8 SR Del Rio out for my lvl25 SR Del Rio :getin:

Still merkin' every fool I come across.

I'm a little curious in this game how you go up in the rank of getting the like...Super Rare tier and up. Do you just need to have a lot of Rares and Uncommoncs in your deck or? I'm like 29-0 right now and my buddy was talking about Rarer stuff.

It's determined by the sum of your hand's stats. So, higher ranked cards and leveling up cards will raise your rank.

Since you fight better opponents at higher tiers, I've found it's beneficial to, once you get to a sliver shy of the next tier, chill out, bank up a bunch of cards/if you get any new heavy hitters keep them on the bench and feed them until you can't beef up anymore and then you can probably get halfway through the next tier as soon as you hit it.

I have a lvl25 SR Vince waiting to take over for a rare Jericho once I hit the card cap.


and a SR Andre that totally fucks up my tag team comp :(

I'm confused by this statement. Did you not get the fatigue thing or is there another KotR bit that I'm missing?

I've gotten three SR wrestlers and two of them are the Big Show so I feel your "I want to stay all blue" pain, though :negative:

I knew about fatigue, but I didn't think stats were affected until you dropped below a threshold and the numbers went yellow.

Heroic Yoshimitsu posted:

So in order to get maximum stats out of a combined card, the two you're going to combine need to be at max level? How big of a difference is it between one of them being maxed and both of them being maxed, if that's known?

Huge.


Like, ~300 points total for two maxed SRs=>maxed pro SR vs two level1 SRs=> maxed pro SR.

Any reason not to use some of my Pro Rares as training fodder? The game pops up a warning about losing rare cards, but these are cards that I don't really have plans for in my main Exhibition or KOTR decks. I figure as long as I've got the Pro versions in my pokedex I may as well put them towards the greater good (maxed pro R Dean Ambrose :swoon:).

I hit a point where I recognized that completing the rare and above pokedexes was a fruitless endeavor and just fed all of them to my other cards. gently caress it.

Took second place in a KotR. Two SR Rocks for my trouble. Looks like the dude who beat me restored his energy one match after I did, or I would've taken first.

interpunct posted:

KOTR in the Ultra Rare tier is practically unwinnable if you grind for cards. The top seeds all have Epic and Legendary cards. I'm assuming their reserve and support cards are Common/Uncommon so their decks qualify for UR.

I took second in a SR++ KotR and only because the dude who got first charged his energy after I did.


I'm now in a UR KotR and I don't think I'll even qualify. I'm at like 4-10

Chinook posted:

Also, is it possible to move from Super Rare to Ultra Rare DURING the tournament somehow? Either by being right on the cusp and training those cards and bumping the meter, or some other method?

Nope!

I deliberately dropped my KoTR team from UR to SR because I'm confident I'll be able to take first or second and score a set of SR's to turn pro, which will help me climb the slog that is the game after SR. Switched out some bullshit lv25 SR for a grey and replaced my UR Brie with a level 1 SR AJ, and then proceeded to level that AJ up to about 20 or so, since she's going to get combined with my other SR AJ and become my hot new Diva.

(I think. Double-Maxed Maxed Pro of one tier seems to always be better than a maxed non-pro of the next tier, so double-max SR AJ, in theory, should be > non-pro UR Brie, I think. Or I'm about to waste a lot of time and cards)

Finally managed to make the finals of a KOTR. My reward? Two SR Hogans. At least he's almost unbeatable in terms of charisma.

For what it's worth, assuming SR Hogan has the same distribution as Rare Hogan, his other stats are all fairly balanced, too. I recall he has a pretty high toughness once you level him up. Hogans definitely a top-tier card.

you'd be suprised how well you'd be able to compete at the UR kotr tier. if you pay even a small amount of attention to energy levels you'll make the top 8 and get 1 UR easily, and you might even make the finals if the other guy isn't both a ringer with epics and paying attention to the game/using boosts.

interpunct posted:

Then what's your deck look like? It might be the case that some of your max pro SR's just aren't rated highly enough to get your deck to the next tier. For example, Mr. McMahon is the weakest non-diva SR card and even at max pro it's rated lower than a max, non-pro UR Shawn Michaels. If that's the case, then go ahead and dominate SR-level KOTRs and hope you win a pair of the better SR cards. Waiting two days is probably a better bet than grinding and praying for good cards to come up.

Oh, no no no.

I have the cards to be in the UR KotR, but I dot have the cards to do well in the UR KotR. I always get wrecked by dudes with legendaries that can stand to lose stamina while I have to keep my cards topped off between qualifying rounds.

With the stamina change, if I finish building my second deck I might stand a chance. Just sucks that I've gotten 1 UR in 500 matches in UR exhibition tier.

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.
