The 3 points that are soooo expensive x_x

I guess life is much more exciting if you were able to steal the win from your opponent in GAC by 1 pt difference.

Lost to an opponent a few days ago by a 14 point difference.

Do you still get "Full Protection" and "Full Health" banners for leaving slots empty, or do the unused slots banners yield more than the two combined? Wondering if I could've taken out my opponent's lvl 1 fleet (yes, really) with an AoE each from Executrix and Tie Bomber.

An empty slot gives one more point than taking a unit that survives with max health and protection.

Yes, you should have used 1 ship vs it for 79 banners

Only 4 more points. Sad.

It does feel satisfying to win with just 2 points :)

I intentionally lost my last match — I’d rather drop back down to A2 (for now) and have another 2/3 week, then stay in A1 and get crushed by all the accounts getting squished out of Kyber.

If it’s a strategy to gain more rewards, that’s a very bad idea.
If it’s a strategy to have more fun this way, you do you.

In A1 I’ll most likely take 0/3, while in A2 I have a good chance of getting 2/3. I’ve bounced up to A1 a few times and every time get crushed hard: I have currently 5.4M GP and only one GL (SEE), although I do also have Malgus/SK, and usually vastly more omicrons/datacrons than my opps. But the GP/GL differential is just too much in A1 and my fleets are a weak spot in my roster currently. The win / higher end-of-bracket placement awards in A2 vastly outweighs what I’ll get in A1 with my current roster, in the short term.

This isn’t a long term strategy, but I have no other way of earning r8 mats other than buying them with crystals, the tiny trickle I get from box 5 conquest, and the off chance our guild will get lucky and benefit from the CPit bug.

I’m currently working on r8 reqs for Executor. After that I’ll gladly move up.

If I’m wrong, please explain why, I’m always open to learning more and improving my gameplay!

Also note: I don’t have GAS or JKL yet either. They’re my next stop after Executor, then probably Jabba/JML.

And my GET2 fleets are still pretty weak, I only unlocked both within the past few months.
