Should I bother powering up my Juggernaut Reigns (who doesn't seem to be very good) or just concentrate on the Luke Harper I just pulled?

There is nothing I want to be. There is nothing I want to do.
I don't even have an image of what I want to be. I have nothing. All that exists is zero.
I just want to get my NXT Rollins up to two-star silver so I have one of every class at that level. I know I'm gonna end up just buying cash to get the meteorite tokens to evolve him :smith:

The past three token chests I've opened have had Big Show in there, despite me already having him. If the next one I open has Show, I'm done with this game.

My last token chest had a loving Miz poster in it.

It does exist, but I've never seen it as a regular drop. Only time I ever got one was from buying a token bag with stockpiled cash.

I feel like powerhouse characters are not well-balanced relative to the amount of damage they do and how long it takes to build up their special moves. I've got Harper and Strowman maxed out at 1 star and they'll barely escape some matches against significantly less leveled characters (especially acrobats) if I get bad draws for red gems. I pulled a 2 star Mark Henry and haven;t even bothered to level him because it doesn't feel like he'd improve my team that much.

Rusev is extremely good because his base green move basically allows you to choose to destroy half the board at once and you can sometimes combo it with his base purple move

Motu will swear by his Rusev. I've not been blessed enough to draw one, but I've got a 2* Gold Juggernaut Reigns and getting him up to gold was huge. He can absorb more damage and his lowest Red lets you choose 2 to create blast gems.

You're correct though, that Powerhouse -> Acrobat advantage is poorly balanced due to how quickly acrobats get specials.

Cesaro is the best of those three but waiting five turns for a countdown move is too long, and submission finishers aren't as good as regular moves.

I've recently discovered Wade and Neville are a solid team. They get a MP boost to start, and Neville's color turn gems boost Wade's powerbomb.

Also gently caress everyone who puts Orndorff in their defense team.

That's interesting, I've been mostly powering up guys with sub moves because they drain opponent powers. Do they just not do enough damage overall or something?

They do less damage overall, spitballing off the top it seems like around 1000 or so less, and they're not as easy to get a win off of. The other guy could luck into an instant break and then you're out a finisher.

drat, my stuff was kinda disappointing. Bog How, Ziggler, a loving dupe Neville, and 2 star Ryback, which is pretty cool, but not enough to make up for the other 3. Is Ryback any good?

If you try to evolve a dude and are missing tokens, it'll take you to a screen where you can buy bags with just that class's tokens for 150 cash a pop, 4-5 tokens per bag.

This is cool i guess unless you already have Cesaro (which i do). They should have made a Davey Boy Smith and then gave that to everyone, so at least everyone gets a new character.

Also, i recently noticed you can now see characters high level moves, but i feel like you'd have to pay insane amounts of money to get those kind of tokens. My Cesaro is level 50 and i only see green headphones every once in an eon, so how the hell will I ever get him to a spot to unlock the Neutralizer?
