What is the name of the planet-eating villain in the 1986 Transformers movie?: This question is a means of identifying and preventing automated submissions.

[quote="Wingz"][quote="Dragonslayer"]Rule #1 of HMW: the RNG is unpredictable. :BOWDOWN:

Now, as for increasing odds of survival, always remember the basics:

-Speed/Avoid & Strength/Ram are the two best combos for lower levels.
-The more Strength you have, the more damage you deal and more armor you can have.
-The more Speed you have, the more likely you are to use Avoid and the more likely you will land a hit.

If you have more XP to spend and want to increase your odds of surviving further, put points into Endurance.  Rank can get you better armor but it's a pain in the butt to reset and re-armor your bots.

Other than that, hope the RNG favors you.[/quote]

Hmmmm...What about Strafe? I have a few that are repair/strafe. I know strafe benefits from speed and firepower, so I imagined at first that speed/strafe/repair was the way to go. I started getting pummeled badly, so I switched to endurance with a little in speed. Still doesn't seem very good. I'd be very interested to partake of your knowledge with this one  :BOWDOWN: Any knowledge you have is greatly appreciated!

Otherwise, that's what I've been doing. The outcomes just used to seem a lot less tilted. Very recently, over the past few days, the odds have really begun to feel unbalanced. For example, I used to go into fights with just myself and another level 1 against two level 2 'Cons and not know how it would turn out. This feels out of the question recently. The other day, Ashe3k and I were two level 4s against two level 2s and were completely destroyed, where they barely even took a scratch.

While RNG has always played a very unpredictable factor, something just feels very different now. I'm hoping that reallocating stat weights will help my survivability, but I may need to start breaking down some numbers. Found a handy thread with the probable algorithms for stats vs. performance, so that'll be a fun project.  =P~[/quote]
