The opinions expressed in this post are well-reasoned and insightful.
Needless to say, they are not those of SEIBERTRON.COM, its staff members, or any other site lackeys.
Anyone who says otherwise is itching for a fight.

Instead of making a new thread I figured I'd revive this since it is the general BS thread so...

What's​ your usual deployment pattern?

I know some people always deploy top down (oh the poor lost souls in the 12 spot) & some always from the bottom up (keeping the team tight in xp scores while playing leapfrog over each other) but I was wondering what other systems people had and why?

Personally I prefer to keep my Cons in order based on their ID number. I try to play them all equal throughout the day but if someone falls behind they get played extra (and the reverse if someone jumps ahead).
I try (& usually fail) to keep a 100K buffer between characters.
Of course when I'm testing this all goes out the window & I have to spend the next month or two fixing it ! :lol:

I normally play the top 6 then as soon as they've finished, it's the next 6s turn. I do have some big gaps in xp between cons but that's partially down to the short gap of time it took me to get listed 12 fighting fit, and that certain members of my time always get put into the inferno 1-11 missions...and occasionally, they hit paydirt with xp rewards.

I deploy top 6 then bottom 6, occasionally trying to up my lowest top 6th(Emergency) in place of the top of the bottom 6(which would be Frigidbite). If one of my top 6 is in CR by the time deployment rolls around, I'll throw my dead last into the fray for extra xp gain.

My namesake is taking off ahead of the top half though, might reset her despite the wacky gains she's had since pushing level 5.

I do something similar.

First, I take characters that are above level 7 and check to see if any higher level missions need support. Depending on how many spots are open after (minimum 2 atm), I take my lowest characters and check there.

Then, if there are still deployment slots open after sending support, I throw in my damage dealing characters (when supporting, I often use medics).

So...my deployments are very situational, but I always keep 6 going :lol:

I've, admittedly, been prioritizing my level 9 and two level 8s lately, though. I'd like to get the level 8s to level 9 to support in the 9-11 missions.

At least one of every level I currently have available, then top down.

Used to be bottom up, but I want a better spread of levels for tournies and to maximise the number of commanders I can face.
