Finished my KOTR last night, also won two SR Hogans. Currently my roster is Triple H, Rey, R Truth, Hogan, and Natalya, all Rare Pro. Leveling them up a decent amount got me into the first tier for Ultra Rare, which got me an Ultra Rare Swagger on my first board. So, after I get all my current Rare Pros to max level, gotta work on leveling/combining those SR Hogans and then leveling UR Swagger.

I am addicted to this game.

Why doesn't it have CM Punk

Ugh, I hosed up. Got my SR Pro Hogan and SR Pro Vince maxed, then I was gonna start leveling up my Ezekiel Jackson pair (which is one of the higher rated SR cards for some reason) and instead I accidentally combined my level 0 Jacksons. Ugh. I like keeping all my cards of the same triangle color to make it more versatile (two lefts and two rights or two ups and two downs).

Oh well. I've got an SR pair of Batista and Brock so maybe I'll go all yellows with Batista, Brock, Big Show, and Swagger.

This game is controlling my life.

This is a very helpful guide:
http://www.reddit.com/r/wwesupercard/comments/2dnnje/definitive_wwe_supercard_how_tofaqs/

So, that link lead me to this

quote:

1.) Choose a Diva with decent base stats(Ideally 3 or 4 stats that are at least 70)
2.) Begin training that diva
3.) Play Exhibitions and obtain a second copy of the card
4.) Train the first card to it's max level
5.) Combine the cards to get the Pro version
6.) Level up the card to your hearts content

Do you really only need to level up one of the cards you are combining to get the max value? I've been maxing both cards before combining, have I been wasting training?

Hit the SR wall today as well. All 4 Wrestlers are SR Pro MAX, Diva is Rare Pro MAX, got nothing on hand I can improve my deck with. Grinding exhibitions has little point atm.

How does anyone win King of the Ring? Do you wake up in the middle of the night to charge your guys/switch out your deck? Because I'm not that dedicated.

I have only had one King of the Ring where I didn't finish first or second (honestly to me I don't give a gently caress about finishing first over second, give me my pair) so I am obviously the best in the world.

First off, be that jerk who only has commons and uncommons on his bench to stack your main lineup. Though I honestly don't know if this is great in all situations. For instance, right now my KOTR team is JUST BARELY in the Ultra Rare tier. I don't know if they separate KOTR tiers by just the rarity, or if it matters how far into that rarity you are. But really, it doesn't matter to me, because I think it is super, super easy to make it to the contender's bracket and make it to the finals without a useful bench.

First, making the contenders bracket is insanely easy and all it requires is like 15 energy cards. To make it to contender's bracket, just check in once every 6-10 hours and refill all the energy on your guys. So, log in, use all your energy cards, play exhibition to get your energy cards back, boom. You're set for a while.

Once you make it to the contender's bracket, USE YOUR BOOSTS IN THE FIRST TWO ROUNDS. The way I do it is make sure my guys are at full energy using all 4 boosts in the first game of the first round. If I win, I'll just leave them alone and see if they win the second game moving me on to the next round. If they don't, I'll refill my team's energy and use all 5 boosts to make sure I win 2/3. Same thing for the next round. The key here is to just make it to the finals. Obviously if you REALLY care about getting that support card for first place, then yeah use your energy cards to refill and use boosts in the finals. To me, I just want my pair so I'm cool with second place.

Prior to winning my first Ultra Rare KOTR, my only Ultra Rares were a Shawn Michaels (doooope) and Swagger (boooo) but non-pro cards tend to be worthless unless they are a full two tiers above where you are. I've since won a pair of Chris Jericho Ultra Rares and a pair of Kane Ultra Rares. I got unlucky with my free Epic card (support card, ugh) so right now I'm just grinding until I can get a full lineup of Ultra Rare Pros, hoping I get some epics along the way until I can do Epic KOTR.

I'm still crippled by my Diva being a Rare Max Pro Eva Marie, but getting Divas is rare so I'm just praying in there. But yeah. Once you hit the Ultra Rare tier (Super Rare honestly, but you have at least a moderate chance of getting Super Rares from exhibitions) your only real way to advance is gonna be doing KOTR and making it to the finals, so do that. Though now that I've given away my super great strategy to victory I expect more competition keeping me from what I deserve.

I'm starting to feel bad for the people who didn't get the memo about maxxing before combining. My maxxed pro SR Andre just crushed another maxxed pro SR Andre that had over 100 fewer points in every stat.

I saw an Epic Pro the other day that got beaten by my UR Pro, so I can only imagine that person had not maxed them first.

Such a waste.

Also I'm sure this isn't a newsflash to people who have played a lot of these micropayment games before, but HOLY poo poo at the amount of people who have dropped at LEAST a hundred dollars to get Epic/Legendary cards early. Especially the ones who have played such a small amount of games that it makes you wonder why you would spend that much money.

IT IS $25 PER CARD.

Apparently the left half of the blue diamond is a myth.

I have won 3 KOTRs since hitting Ultra Rare and all 3 of them have been lefts. Kane, Edge, and Chris Jericho.

Pulled an Epic Naomi last night as well, so my team is looking pretty legit at the moment. Once I finish leveling up and combining the UR Edge, my weakest link is gonna be my Max Pro SR Hogan.

I'm tempted to try and enter an Epic KOTR by actually putting decent cards on my bench but entering a KOTR and not making it to the finals feels like the biggest waste of time in the universe. Then again, even just making it to the contenders bracket gets you an Epic card, I think.

God I really enjoy this game.

smashpro1 posted:

It's weird how many people in Epic tier have untrained Commons in their deck.

There are a shitload of people who spent tons of money on this game only to play like 40 games and then drop it, it seems.

Oh, also, a tip for people who may not have found this out yet. If you feed a high level (training-wise) card to another, it will actually give a SHITTON of XP, relative to how fed the food card was. So you can feed your old, maxed out cards to your newer cards to get a huge boost on XP. This also means that if you are out of actual useful cards to train, it's not a bad idea to just train another card in the meantime to use as food later.

I don't know how much XP you're actually losing here, but for example, I fed my Max Pro Rare Natalya to my UR Edge last night and it bumped him from level 1 to level 27 (I think. It may have been my Max Pro SR Vince that got him to 27.)

I didn't see anything definite, but it seems like a pro of any given level is only slightly more effective than a non-pro - so you're better off not combining and using the two non-pros instead.

Oh really? I thought it was decided that feeding a Pro gave about 10% more than the two cards would give on their own combined.

It does at level 0, but I think he means that you lose some of the XP value you got from levelling when you turn a maxed pair of cards into a pro.

Ah, my bad. Yeah, this is correct.

Let's give this a practical application: I have a Rare John Cena, trained to Level 19, that I've been using as an extra tag team guy in my KOTR deck. When I eventually outgrow him, I would be better to use that Cena for training fodder right away, rather than waiting for another Rare Cena to combine him with. Correct?

Yes, this is accurate. Though if you're like me and committed to (trying) to complete the card catalog for no reason beyond insanity, you'll combine them anyways :V

They at least did a good job of not giving people cards before they'd have access to them. I'm at just over 4000 games played and currently all my cards are UR Pro Max or Epic, so by the time I earn the rest they won't be huge upgrades. But, neat collectors items.

I'm probably just gonna Pro Max all of them because, as someone said earlier, they have gold borders. This means something to me.

What are people's feelings on what counts as trash? Now that I have the SR Cenas, I can field 4 Pro SRs (after some leveling). Time to start feeding off any SR with less potential than my weakest pro SR? Del Rio, by the looks of:

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.

My first epic KOTR went into top 8 at 7 am today. I set my alarm (lol) and managed to do a full stamina restore and burn all my boosts for the first game. Wake up at 9:50 to find that I won the first round but lost 2 and 3 cause he was restoring stamina and using boosts each round.

My first KOTR not making it to the finals, ugh. Only one Epic card. I am a failure.

That's really about the spot where the "paid money, barely played" crowd tends to hover, you'll pretty much be flooded by them until you start getting late into Epic.

It's kind of dumb that for 2500-1500 or whatever, you get 2 epics, and from 1500-500 you get a legendary... but a maxed pro epic beats a maxed legendary. I mean you could say something about the potential of the Legendary but meh.

Actually I just convinced myself that I'd rather have the legendary. Oh well. Currently sitting at around 1650 and, honestly, I haven't really been playing ALL day. Pretty sure I can finish this with some good reward.

Yeah, had full energy and max boosts for each game, we ended up going 2-1 in all 3 games, him taking the latter two matches. My weak spot at the moment is that I'm just using an epic diva, which means I'm gonna lose to any UR Pro.

There's really no reason to keep this UR Brie Bella I just pulled when I already have two other SR Pro Max Divas, right? Seems the odds of pulling a second one are slim.

As has been said, there's really no reason to trash the UR unless you are super anal about getting rid of cards. A second UR Brie would be not only a huge upgrade over SR Pro, it'd be better than any Epic divas as well. Definitely worth holding on to on the off chance you get a second one.

There's a guy in my Epic KOTR the at least three Pro Legendaries. I'm guessing he's just trying to complete his catalog.

I assume he went Solo, Solo, Diva, with both Tag Team cards common? Doing this pmuch guarantees you a first or second place finish in Epic KOTR, I've seen a post about it on the forums. Apparently devs are aware of it.

Got super lucky today and got a second Epic Stone Cold as an Exhibition reward, my first Epic pair.

Accidentally just combined it before fully maxing out the second one

On the plus side, it was 30/35 so I didn't gently caress myself TOO bad... but since Epic Pro is my next upgrade step, that's a really stupid mistake.

Entered my first Legendary draft because I've been too lazy to farm energy in the top 8 and Legendary gets me an epic for doing zero work over two days, which is nice/

Honestly I like KOTR and would like to actually play it to try and win, but the possibility of people playing 3 Epic Pros or Legendaries and 2 Commons makes the odds of making the finals tiny. So I guess I'll just be on the free epic every two days train for a while.

Yeah, I was stuck here for a while too, and it is discouraging. I got really lucky by getting a second Stone Cold from an exhibition (already had one from a KOTR reward) which bumped up my team from Epic++ to Legendary, and that really helped my enjoyment of this game. Got Triple H as my free Legendary and now I'm off to the races. KOTRs giving a guaranteed Epic is good stuff.

Everyone on Supercard has pretty much figured out the whole "punt half of your cards so that you can have just enough cards of super high level to win" which makes playing rather frustrating. Off the top of my head, I can't think of a solution, but something really needs to be done about it. It's stupid going against 3 epic pros with a team of UR Pros.

At the beginning of the People's Champ event I was hovering around the Ultra+ / ++ tier so I tried stacking my deck with half common cards to lower my ranking and just got stomped in every match. In the end I made a team out of the strongest cards I had which edged me into Epic and, after maxing out my guaranteed Epic pick (The Rock), I am now at mid Epic tier with my strongest cards and am consistently winning even against stacked decks.

Maybe it's worse lower in the rankings but try using your strongest cards and keep playing KOTR to get more high-level cards to build up your team and you should get over the hump and into a position where you can win consistently.

My current team (all fully trained) is:
code:
- SR Pro Andre
- SR Pro Cena
- SR Pro The Rock
- Epic The Rock
- SR Pro Paige

- UR Ladder
- Rare WWE Universe
I find I lose most diva matches in Epic tier but my tag team of Rock and Cena can beat pretty much anybody, especially with a well-placed speed bost.

Nah, I'm actually in Legendary+ now. I was losing a shitload of my exhibitions because of the punting, but then I gave in and jointed the dark side and I'm winning way more. It's just dumb.

I'm about to enter an epic KOTR when I EASILY get into legendary, I fully expect to stomp.

So, my new favorite thing about PCC is that I have decided that there is NO WAY I am going to get an upgrade from it (I need top 2000 to get an epic pair), it makes it really easy to farm wins/energy cards cause I'll just pick the 1 point matches in PCC.

I actually had a pretty easy time making the top 3000 first PCC, but it seems like there is WAY more competition this time around.
