If it would be in the mission, I would completely agree, I remember how much the repairer-rammer (or -strafer) setup ruled the level 7-8 range there...

I believe your theory. I think it was how I was able to do so well pre-reset with underpowered guys.

Even in missions it would be pointless. Higher courage & speed will cause your bot more to go on the offensive rather than defensive.

It helps you win more.

Never could explain it, all I know is that pre-reset I use to dominate the arena when I had intell and the opposition didn't.
Or it could have been the whole "ZOMG! It's Gore! ARGH!" factor.

My guys just did better with int then they did without it. The ones with int scored better then the ones with the same config sans int. I don't nessicarily think it's wise to have a 7 int with the rest of those stats, but a 2 or 3 wouldn't nessicarily be bad. I should have probably dropped some points into int instead of avoid in all honesty.

it literally does nothing. it boosts rpeair tactic. comepletely useless in arena. snd with 7 skill, if you didnt equip a weapon you wasted more stats

should have done alot higher end, ram and avoid. int, skill, and even firepower are kinda useless for your build.

if you dont have a 10 str your just asking to be stunned by a ram, and low armor means shot to all hell. low end means tactics are doing alot of damage.

you do have the 10 speed thing goin, but tactics dont miss. 10 ram, 10 str, 7 speed, 10 avoid, 10 end, 10 courage and rank like 5 or better would have been better for your build, but you get to learn from your mistakes.


Guess that's why my team name is Team Fail. :P

Honesty? It'll be whenever I have a couple of days free to count it all up and sort out the final scores.

You'll get at least 2 weeks of killing before that happens though, so everybody should make their 30 match minimum grade, but everyone will get at least a weekends notice before we end it.
