I was thinking - points of the opponent should be hidden during GA. This is because it is a huge factor in determining your strategy when it comes to really close matches. If you opponent goes first and clears the board, but you calculate that on average he use a full team and has no health and protection bonuses, u will try to use a team that could max out those bonuses. Likewise, if your opponent has been fielding full teams and maxing out health and protection bonuses, u would then decide to send in an underdog team to get unused slot points.This is something i find to be very advantageous to the last minute attacker, as compared to those who attack early in the day. Sure, if you live someplace where GA ends at 11pm, you can wait till the last hour to decide. But if GA resets at 3-5am, then you have to hit earlier and let your opponent plan around your points.Tldr: Hide points during offense phase of GA.

There is strategy to be played by seeing the points. So no

Shouldn’t your strategy be try to earn the most points with bonuses no matter what the opponent does? Time of attacks has nothing to do with it.

I like it as is. You can both provoke your opponent by half clearing and letting him wonder what you have left or come in late or just get done with it. This brings in another poker like strategy element.

Thus, the optimal strategy is to obtain that point total in the way with the lowest possible risk. If my opponent clears my board, but has to use 2 attacks against one team, my strategy is simply to clear his teams first try. So when I get to his phoenix team, while I could attempt to clear it with just wampa, since my strategy is simply first clears, I run wampa as part of a full team. Why take the risk of just pure horrible rng? If my opponent clears my board on the first try, then I can figure out how many points I need to average per team to win, so I can figure out the optimal configuration. Maybe I run a couple of teams using 4 characters to ensure I cover the gap. Maybe I run full teams except against phoenix or whatever. The more information you have, the more you can optimize your strategy to achieve the ultimate goal which is outscoring your opponent. So there's a definite advantage to attacking second.

I thought about it and my conclusion was that if you are in a scenario where you can win by using less toons, then by all means go for it. It doesn't make winning on offense any easier but much tougher since we are exhausted from using our best teams while the opposing defense might be a strong one and we only have the scraps to useAlternately, you can attack late if that's your thing. I like to know hours ahead if I'm losing or winning rather than waiting for the round to end to find out

Just my take on it. I'm playing at <2.75mil bracket. As soon as the first round of deployment opens. I scan my opponents rosters quickly and see who will be a challenge. Do I care when I'm 2-0 and go against the other 2-0, and we are close in points, definitely. It's up to the player to predict their opponent's strategy on offense/defense based on their opponent's characters. That's a lot of the fun of close matches. Points shouldn't dictate your moves if you planned well.

U are in the <2.75mil bracket, that tells me enough. My alt is in that bracket and steamrolls everyone else.

Try that logic again when u are 3.8m and above.

Exactly, which is what my opponent did last night. Too bad for him he failed his attempt on my NS and gave up, but i can guess he probably tried an underdog team cause my points meant he had to.
