Hey Guest. Check out your NeoGAF Wrapped 2025 results here!
What we need is to be able to mark our wrestlers in AHEAD of time/schedule so that we don't have to worry about this anymore.
For example, you mark down your starters in for Game 1, 2, and 3. Then you mark down your bench for game 4 and then mark down your starters for games 5, 6, 7, rinse and repeat. Or whichever games you want to put your wrestlers in for that game in the qualifiers.
This would make KoTR a much easier experience and not have to keep watch over it every hour for every day until the season ends.

Khali and Cameron are really letting me down
Hopefully I get a good replacement in KOTR, because I'm facing really good players now

Hey, I got a SR Titus O'Neil the last time I won a KOTR. Here's one of the worst SRs, too. So bad, here's not even documented on all the stat spreadsheets I've seen. Luckily, I replaced him with Brock Lensar recently. Still, as bad as he is, he still helped bump up my tier ranking and was better than the standard UR cards I have.

Well I just finished first and got pro UR Shawn Michaels. That's great and all but... he's yet another right alignment. I really need something to replace Vince already. He's making it really difficult to win tag matchups.

Well I ended up winning my KOTR that I was certain I was gonna finish 2nd in. Got a couple of epic AJ's. I can definitely live with that.
fuck KOTR.. just fuck it.. ok... just fuck it.. arghhhh
see I´m early in the game something like 400 won -90 lost exhibitions games plays. I have some nice Super rare cards. I can win almost any match now.. only thing I´m missing is a decent diva card, I have a uncommon pro card there, so that needs to be better.
But about that KOTR shit.. I have played three tournaments now.
- First tournament, where I´m very low level with only one rare card. I end up beeing in top 4, and get my first super rare + support card. Was very nice, because it was my first tournament.
- Second Tournament. I have really god super rare cards and a decent bench. I watch the tournament and manage my fighters. I could see that I would win the first 40 games without any problems, so I as going to be nr. 1 before going into the bracket part.
BUT somehow the first game is FUCKING early in the morning. When I wake up and look at my phone I see that the first bracket game is underway and I have allready lost the first two matches.. So I´m OUT. Just because it was early in the morning and I did not manage to shift my bench in. fuck it .. it was an easy win..
- Third tournament. I start the tournament around after dinner, so that it will not end early in the morning again. The tournament goes well, all of my fighters win their matches EASILY, even my weak ass bench. I can see that U will probably be 7 or 8 matches ahead of 3 place and 2 matches ahead of second place when the tournament ends. Looks good.
So I turn on my phone again this morning... and WTF..? Once again The first bracket game is underway. And I have lost it because I couldn´t change my wrestlers.. so once again I lose because my fighters have depleted their stamina and I was sleeping when the bracket part started.. got a super rare Miz.. fuck me sideways..
I hate the time it takes to finish a KOTR, and most of all the randomness of the times it finishes. I thought it was 1 hour between games and 45 games, so that it would take 45 hours to come to the bracket part.. but TWICE now that wasn´t true.
better luck next time..

the only thing I can think of is the time it takes to match me.. I was sure I would have finished the third tournament around now.. but somehow it was 3 hours earlier.. maybe I made the mistake and thought it was 48 hours instead.. that would be typical for me.. lol
Reached LEG++ tier, not that it matters because at that point the cards are so rare that you won't be finding them often, and the little boost hardly makes any difference.
My weakest point of the team is now UR Shawn Michaels, I hope I will find another Right Aligned Pro Epic soon. Interestingly I have 3 regular Epics with Right, but none that can be pro.
3 Left 1 Right, or 3 Right 1 Left, definitely appears to be the best combination. It lets you approach each match as needed, and most of the times you won't be locked into certain combinations.

I'm finally about to reach legendary tier. 3300+ matches under my belt. Jesus Christ I've wasted a lot of time on this game.
I'm just hoping that my first legendary isn't a fucking ladder. And I actually hope it's not a diva. First time I think I've said that.
And yeah i've been liking having that combination of directions. I also like having 2 and 2
Edit: got Nikki Bella. Damn. Oh well. It'll at least make the diva portion of epic KOTR an auto win. Guess I'd better start grinding for these pro Epics.

Mango and Yaari you dudes are hardcore. I feel like I've been playing a good amount but I'm UR only in Exhibition and only like 1500 games in.
Hopefully about to win my last SR KoTR before bumping up to the next bracket, as I should have 4 Pro SR's and a Pro R Diva to sit on my main team.
Have you guys used any IAP's to jump ahead? I've debated using Amazon Coins I have sitting on an email to guarantee a free epic, as I have every Amazon App Store game I think I'd want.

I can't imagine there's much benefit to it. Even on Legendary+ tier, you get mostly Rares and Boosts for your Exhibition wins.
Nope, no IAP. I just started on day 1 and played too much. And got very lucky. My 2/3 of my UR Pro's were gained through Exhibition. Looking back at that now, that is pretty damn lucky.
At which point I was pretty much set to win Epic KotR's.
I'm in the brackets again, did not do any refills for the Match 39-45 and still won.

Making any sort of purchase would completely suck the fun out of this for me, so no I have not spent a dime. It's been quite satisfying reaching the next tier and getting that new card.
The only reason I play so much is that it's a perfect game for when I'm at work. I work one of my jobs Mon-Fri for 5-6 hours each night. 3 of those hours are spent playing or watching shit on my phone.

I'm struggling in the Ultra Rare+ bracket
I just don't have the cards for it, yet I'm here for some reason. I'm nearly in the ++ bracket so idk wtf is happening there lol
Super rare diva just doesn't cut it at this level.
On top of that everyone seems to have Pro Super rare Andre. I don't have anybody that can beat him on toughness
I have one UR which is Brock, but he has average stats and my Pro SR Ziggler is better (but still rubbish)

Shit, I was rocking a pro rare Eva Marie all the way until I got to Epic. She was still sorta getting the job done. She'd win like 50% of the time. She's probably better than whatever SR you're using. I'd look into it if you come across a couple.I'm struggling in the Ultra Rare+ bracket

I just broke into UR+ and mostly still have no issues with my pro rare Eva. If you can't pro your SR, you may want to consider going for a pro rare instead.

Try having a pro rare Eva halfway through Epic+. I think this game hates me.
Played about 300 games this weekend and I'm 3/4 through the UR+ tier. I've now played about 500 games since hitting the initial UR tier and my only UR card is a stop sign power-up that I got about 400 games ago. I have 3 maxed out SR Pros and 1 regular SR to go with my Rare Pro AJ and I'm pretty much stuck progression wise until I either get another SR that I can make a pro or an SR or higher Diva card (not holding my breath for that one).
Fortunately, my KOTR deck finally hit the UR level and I immediately started a KOTR upon doing so as it seems to be the only chance I have of ever gonna getting any UR cards.

Sounds like even though the KotR bar fills up instantly on Legendary, the matchmaking is still based on your team being matched towards something equal. So I'll be trying to fill that bench with commons again.
Apparently people that run with 5 Pro Legendaries, also face equal opponents, and they did not when they started with Pro Epics.

Yeah I came into a couple of UR AJ's in exhibition once I got into Epic+. Then I got a couple of Epic AJ's in KOTR. I've been lucky. Hell I just got a Legendary Nikki, and unfortunately I don't need it whatsoever unless I come into another one.

Getting a support card as your UR auto pick is actually good. It's very unlikely you would have found a pair for it anyway so you might as well have a useful support card.
Bleh, again Left Aligned card. The Rock.
Is it really bad if I play that card in Tag instead of a card that would get a bonus? I don't have a Right Aligned card, the only one I have is Shawn Michaels and that one is UR Pro.
I don't want to do anymore Epic KotR. But I'll probably lose alot of matches by not getting the alignment bonus in KotR.

Yeah I play cards that don't get a bonus frequently. Sometimes it turns out better than the card that would've gotten the bonus because the stat that was being played was so low. If one card has a 300 stat but will get the bonus, it'll still be worse than the card that won't get a bonus but has a 400 stat. I think even if the stat was 340 it would still be better to play the card without the bonus. I believe the bonus is 10%
Okay, nice. With that I have a good team for Legendary.
Yeah The Rock as a Epic Pro has pretty good stats. Looks to be the 2nd best on the stat sheet.
You lose the bonus on both cards though, so if you were to use the 340 card instead of the 300 card chances are you come out behind.
Everything is double in tags, support cards in tag matches are pretty strong because you get the effect x2 and then the 10% for matching alignment.
The Mango Sentinel
Member
Whoops....should've incorporated that into my math.
The point still stands as long as the stat is high enough.
But yeah you're right. It's something to think about.

Are the support cards permanent stats? I've just been using them to level guys :s
As long as I don't have to use Brock or Cameron I usually win most games. But they both need replacing

You can use the support cards every match. They don't run out or anything. Keep your best ones and feed the rest to your wrestlers. You have to have better than a common and uncommon at this point. They definitely come in handy.

I love it when you enter a kotr that not a single other person gives a shit about.
I went 43-2 after losing my first to matches against epics.
Now watch me get screwed in the semi finals because someone decided to actually show up...

So if you win in the quarters of KOTR 2-0, by the other brackets are 1-1 do you just have to wait around?

It's a 2 hour wait...
You have to wait for the 3rd match to finish. Then wait again for the semi finals to start.

Right. At least it doesn't hurt your stamina. I don't think you can cheat and rest your starters though. It didn't seem to help when I tried anyway.

Yup, my gimme UR card in the first exhibition deck was a support card. Haven't gotten another UR since, which has really hampered me in the Ultra Rare+ bracket. Everyone else seems to have at least one UR wrestler and I'm scrambling to max out two SR Vince's to balance my deck (and hopefully push me into the UR tier of KOTR).
Still winning at a steady clip, but every game is pretty much a dice roll at this point because of that poor stroke of luck.

Honestly, non-pro URs aren't that great. In fact, I have 4 non-pro URs all leveled up and they were all weaker than my maxed out pro SRs. It wasn't until I received a UR pair from my last KOTR that I bumped up into the Epic tier. So I'd focus on KOTR and just bank your picks until you get to the Epic tier.

I can confirm this
UR Brock and ADR are rubbish
But I still can't get in UR KOTR
can only get SR +XiaNaphryz
LATIN, MATRIPEDICABUS, DO YOU SPEAK IT
Non-pros of any card tier are inferior to a max pro card of the previous tier.
So I think I've done all I can in UR++ Exhibition. I have 3 Max SR Pros and am 9 levels away from getting the 4th maxed out. Still have the max pro rare Eva. For KOTR, if I do the commons bench strategy, my deck is about 75-80% up on the SR tier. Is it work grinding this KOTR out and hoping for a SR Diva drop? Or should I plug in my max pro rares into the bench to move up to UR KOTR? I end up about 1/3 up the tier if I put in a full bench, would it be better to just put in 1 of my max rare pros so I barely make it into UR?
ratcliffja
Member
Does your initial starter get a stat bonus or something? I keep running into pro rare Eva Marie cards that are slightly higher stat-wise than mine, even though mine is maxed out and came from two other maxed out rares.

Are you sure it's not the effects of the other team using a manager card in the first match?

That's possible. Wouldn't it show up as yellow if the stats were altered, though?

Manager bonuses don't show up as yellow, hence the confusion.
