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

And at my tier, I'm seeing lots of UR Pro, Epic, and even Legendary Divas.

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)

Maybe the one on the left first?

I'm content to keep my rank hovering around 2,000. If I can get the pair of Epic Brocks, I should be sitting pretty.

I have completed 6,504 matches, and the game says it has given me my UR Paige, but it hasn't! :argh:

edit: it popped up in my collection after I quit the game and booted it back up.

I continue to have Superdumb questions about Supercard, and am grateful to all the goons that put up with them:

1) How do the 1/3/5 difficulties for People's Champ work? It seems intuitive that the difficulties would be at least partially static, so that someone with a strong deck is actually rewarded. When I fight 1's, it's mostly dudes with non-pro SR's and pro Rares, and I have something like a 95% win rate. My win rate against 3's, on the other hand, is about 25%, since they tend to have pro SR's or at least really good ones with levels in the 20's. Have you guys been finding that it scales?

2) Speaking of scaling, I did very well in my first SR division KotR, getting 1st seed and eventually finishing second because getting a Rare support didn't seem like it was worth using boosts or energy refills. I was just barely into the division in terms of deck strength when I started, but trained a lot during it. Now my SR bar's about halfway full, and the new KotR I've started is kicking my rear end. Is this just luck of the draw, or does KotR scale within divisions? Obviously I'll be fighting SR opponents in the SR division, but if my bar is barely filled at the start of the tourney, will I only be fighting guys whose bar is also barely filled?

1. Difficulty is determined by the person's deck strength. Therefore, decks with 1 will be easier to beat.
2. It's luck. People can stack their deck with two or three good cards and fill the rest of it with junk cards to drop their overall deck strength to cruise through lower tiers.

It also allows you to sort by rarity. Like, hit the train button, show only Commons, train, repeat with Uncommons.

I hope that leaderboard spots become less fluid when it gets closer to the end. I don't want to go to sleep when there's a few hours left worrying about whether or not I'll get the pair of Epic Brocks.

If it's anything like the last pointlessly grindy bullshit I tried (the Marvel game) it gets more intense at the last minute rather than less. That one had a time limit to how much you could do in a certain amount of time though and I guess there's no p2w component for this thing so maybe that won't happen.

I doubt it though. If these people have time to grind out 1,000+ games in a day on the first day, I'm pretty sure they're going to grind out the same amount or more on the last.

I think I might be right since I only dropped about 500 spots last night, compared to 3,000 from the night before.

I never thought I would say this, but I'm starting to regret getting the pair of Epic Brocks over the UR ones. As soon as I put him in my exhibition deck, I became unable to win at all. I win the match I use him in, but lose the others.
Maybe that will change when I get the second UR Cena from the Ladder.

I got my first non-support Legendary from the People's Champion Challenge, but I'll never be able to make it a Pro. Anything involving Speed and/or Charisma is a problem against Epic Pros but dude's still a beast at level 40:

In all honesty, I wanna see the stats on that Pro, because they have to be INSANE.

According to the updated spreadsheet, it's a beastly 1991/1933/1610/1782.

For reference, that means without procs and support, only Pro Austin/Hogan/Rock/Ultimate on Charisma and Guerrero/Michaels/Mysterio on Speed have any chance of taking a game from him.

Sweet Jesus.

Back in my day, we'd have given our lives for a SR Pro Diva. I had an Uncommon Pro Natalya for ages, well into ultra rare rank. By golly.

I know, but I'm in Legendary, and most of the Divas I'm encountering are at least UR Pro.

The people on the 2K forums. They say that Cena should have won because his cards have better stats, which is a fact.

SR Paige has completely homoginized the Diva's division from UR onwards...my maxed out pro AJ was almost unbeatable right up to UR++ until they introduced Ladder Rewards.

I don't know what you mean about "onwards", unless you mean "UR-Epic", because I'm in Legendary right now, and hardly ever run into anyone with her.

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.

Managed to qualify for that KOTR, and got an Epic Naomi out of it. And, I am now in a Legendary one, so I can get Epics with zero effort.

I'm going to settle for the 2xUR Diva. I can't invest the time to get the Legendaries, and I'm not having much difficulty getting 2xEpics from KoTR.

If they had a Divas PCC, I'd be playing it for 48 hours straight and throwing dimes at title belts to get something better than Pro SR Paige.

I'm sure I will play enough matches over the weekend to get me close to UR Pro Paige.

The algorithm or whatever determines how many points a PCC match is worth must be messed up. I had one +3 match where the guy sent out three Commons and a Rare, and another where they sent out three Pro Legendaries.

anyone in the 5000-20,000 rank right now and can give me a rough idea of how much grind I have left to do? I'm at 30k right now, hopefully I can grind out enough to hit the divas.

I'm a lot higher than that, but I've been grinding all day and only moved up 500 spots.

Giving up on winning a PCC Orton. After grinding for ten hours and only moving up 500 spots, it's becoming obvious that I'm not gonna move up the additional 1,000 needed to get it. If nothing else, Epic Pro Cesaro will help me out in KOTR.
