Made the finals of my first Epic KOTR. Only one other guy had max pro URs, but he only had 3, the other 2 were just epics. Hope to get a diva to replace SR Paige.
That's a good thing!
That's a good thing!
This is only my second KOTR ever, and I entered it in the Super Rare ++ tier with everything leveled, and I've been keeping up with feeding my guys energy cards and subbing out when needed.

I honestly don't care much about the win....I just want second place with the Super Rare pair.

Got a pair of Dolphs from my first Epic KOTR. After I max pro'd him out it bumped me up to Legendary in Exhibition, my first pull was Hogan. So still stuck with a max pro SR for diva.

No, I don't give a fuck about it to be honest lol but I wished that my one and only epic card that I'll ever receive without buying or competing in a Kotr(because I never win) would be a superstar.

Epic support cards are really useful. Winning a KotR isn't TOO hard right now. The best strategy is to have as low a bench as possible while still getting you in to the KotR tier you want. Keep in mind that it's best to have a roster (other than the bench) full of at least max pro cards of the tier below the one you want (rare for super rare, super rare for ultra rare, etc.) if you want to make it to the finals.
Another thing that helps is having a card in your main KotR roster that isn't fully leveled so that once you've fully leveled that card after the KotR has started, you should theoretically be higher than those that entered fully leveled. In fact, since I didn't do that with my current KotR, I'm facing much stiffer competition. In retrospect, I should have downgraded my Pro Legendary Cameron to a level 1 Pro Legendary Natalya (which I won last time) just for this KotR so that I could intentionally face worse competition. Even then, because of my 100% common bench, I still have a very good chance at the finals or even winning unless I get extremely unlucky.
Beyond that, if you have at least a decent diva, many people have found that having a common tag team will help too, as it will again lower your tier in exchange for losing one of three games about 2/3 of the time. That may seem counterintuitive, but it should theoretically make the rest of your team significantly better than the competition, meaning you'll almost always win at least 2 out of three games. It also means that you'll only have to worry about refilling 3 members of your team, as the commons are all completely worthless.
Anyway, if you follow those rules, you should be able to get some good cards from KotR. Personally, I really wish I had gotten a legendary support card at the time. Epic support cards are very good too, as you won't get any of those until you get into the legendary KotR.
Edit: Wow I feel REALLY stupid. I meant to tank my last match so that I wound up in second place since the bottom half of the bracket looks a lot easier than the top this time around... but I forgot that I own the tie-breaker with the second place guy and should have tanked the last 2 matches instead. So now it's going to be really tough to make it to the finals this time around. Oh well...

Wow thanks for the tips but my lowest cards are my ultra rares that aren't Pro, is that fine? And I don't have a hardly powered up card

I would recommend getting lower than that on your bench. You could easily win some commons in exhibition to put in there. If that doesn't get you high enough for the tier you want, you can try rolling with commons. I really wouldn't recommend having a bench with anything higher than rare, though.
That's pretty much the sort of team I entered with, you should be fine. Just make sure you don't go too far into that bar. Although I think its difficult with Legendary, I'm just into the bar and I run 3 Pro Legendaries. If you get unlucky, you will have a hard time.

I think that's a great team with which to try legendary LotR. Don't worry too much about your tag. I'd probably team Bryan with your Legendary Cena so you'll have some of the quickness covered and you have your 2 best cards available for singles matches. If that team doesn't work and you exit before the finals (there's no way you won't make the top 8 unless you just plain don't use energy cards), you could always try leveling the legendary you get for winning in your tag team slot so that you'll get in the lowest legendary matching possible.

I managed to win again despite screwing up my attempt to tank into the second seed. I just hope I don't get a third diva in a row.
This 2 common tag team setup works well. Allows me to have 3 Leg Pro's. And by having a Diva that is only partially leveled, I'm only a few points into Legendary tier.
If I get into a KotR against an opponent that has a Diva that can beat her, I can still max her level, but for now I can keep entering with this team, something that was a problem in the past because I maxed the Leg Pro's.
36-0, it has been pretty easy so far. Going to drop matches now to save some Energy cards later.

Ever since moving up to Epic KOTR I can't manage this strategy as well without getting a better diva than SR.

So of course I get my third diva in a row and still can't improve my team. This is ridiculous.

No, I just want a diva damnit! If it wasn't for the ladder Paige cards, I'd still be stuck with a rare Eva.

I had a pro rare Eva until I hit legendary. I now have a max pro legendary Cameron and still lose a good deal of my diva matches. Having a good diva is overrated.

I seem to have found out a way to win over 9/10 times now in exhibition. I rarely lose, if ever.
I'm playing in legendary and everyone seems to use commons so they can squeeze in a legendary card and a pro epic or two so they don't get put in legendary +
I do the same, but I only have two pro epics and the rest UR
Every first game I send out the grey card, no matter what the match up. And without fail their first card(s) will always be either the legendary or tag team with legendary/epic pro. So they win that, then I sweep up with pro epic HBK and nattie because they don't have any decent cards left
The best cards are usually always used first, do just save your best cards for game 2
Have lost like 2 games in 200

How does that happen? Due to boosts?
It's best in slot card though, I hope I get her someday.

Boosts and always getting a power matchup. She loses to the Bellas and Natalya with power matchups.
so i just lost my first Legendary KOTR final (after having lost in the semi finals on my first try).. really happy to be able to get a pro legendary out of it though. Will be my first. Still 30 minutes left for the unnecessary final match though.
What i don't get is, i see many people recommending putting common cards into the bench. Granted this is just my second KOTR but i had absolutely no problem getting into the semi finals with all my best cards in my starting lineup and the bench.
here's my lineup as of now (though my tag Team and the singles are switched for the last match, the legendarys are my tag team, epic pro are singles.
Is it really that much easier putting commons in the bench? my biggest problem is always keeping up stamina throughout KOTR, that's why i thought it's good to have the best lineup possible to switch out tired cards.

The quality of opponents is just significantly worse when you don't raise your Tier bar by having a bench like yours.
I understand the concern for Stamina. However, you know these people that have records like 7-15, stuff that basically tells you they given up after their initial stamina ran out? I use my tag team slot to recover stamina the moment I face an opponent that I know is no longer putting in the effort.
By doing that you really only need to fill the Energy of your diva sometimes, and a little bit when you are facing a high ranked opponent that will give you trouble if you don't.
Good luck on the card, it will make a big difference. Try to enter your next KotR with him being a Level 1 Pro, and level him throughout the KotR, gives an even bigger advantage.

Will pro epic HBK, Hogan and Natalya be enough for legendary KOTR?
I also have pro UR Rick ride and Epic Ziggler

Thanks for the tips. So i got 2 legendary Cameron's which is awesome considering my diva was the weakest link in my lineup.
I tried to do what you said about having as low a rating as possible on my bench without losing the Legendary rank. The lowest i was able to go was having 1 common and 2 green cards next to a legendary and my epic diva. If i switch just one card to a lower ranking i drop to epic.
Is it normal that even though i'm at the lowest possible ranking the bar on the top where it shows me my rank is still filled out?

Hopefully you don't get two more divas after that like I did. I'm going to start a new KotR in a couple hours so that I don't have to wake up too early for the elimination rounds, but I'm not holding my breath on getting anything but a diva.
Yeah, your bar fills instantly at Legendary, thats fine.
I forgot to set my alarm and now I have to win 10 straight to avoid playing the 1st place guy in the second round. He has two male legendary pros compared to my diva so I will get crushed. Current 2nd place isn't much better but I'll take my chances with him/her

Just to quote this, it isn't even enough to get into legendary :lol

The worst thing about constantly getting divas is that I lose out on the opportunity to enter the next round with the ability to level a wrestler throughout KotR, making the competition much more difficult. I just lost 0-3 in my second match of this tournament, which isn't a good sign. If I don't make it to the finals with this KotR, I may have to intentionally downgrade my diva from Cameron to either AJ or Natalya, which I won from my last two KotRs. Even if I make it to the finals, if I win yet another diva, I'll likely swap Cameron out to make it easier until I get a male wrestler.

Just got a message that a new PCC is starting soon in the game but no details. Who does everyone want? Legendary Rollins/Ambrose would be bad ass.

Yeah just what I need... more divas. I wouldn't doubt it, honestly. I think they went a bit overboard on their diva compensation, as I've seen a lot of people on the official boards in a similar situation as me. One guy got Legendary AJ Lee pairs 3 KotRs in a row.
Ridiculous team, damn. With a team like that you can pretty much enter and come back 2 days later to take your rewards. Wow.
Really hope I can get that second HBK soon aswell.

Technically this is false, you need that Legendary+ Pro Brock for that.
I have 2 Legendary Pro Brocks and 1 regular Legendary Brock. I think I have enough Brocks, haha. I really just want The Rock for Tag Team with HBK. Right now using HHH.
Oh, you mean Diamond - haha touche.

Crushing the current epic KOTR. Want to be the step up to legendary, but I don't have enough epics it seems

He's not bad at all. He's the second-best down-oriented wrestler... better than normal Lesnar for some reason.
Edit: It's REALLY weird that there's no Legendary Macho Man, especially considering none of his versions do the top rope elbow drop. It seems like they planned for him to be a legendary, but pulled him at the last minute... or they're saving him for later. I wonder when they'll start adding new wrestlers other than through unique rewards.

I've noticed a couple of people who are missing finishers like the Machi Man example. I can't remember most of them but Epic Bray Wyatt doesn't have Sister Abigail either.
so i today for some weird reason i got 2 epic cards through exhibitions. Natalya and Kane. Problem is that i don't really need them. They won't make my lineup and the odds of getting a second one through exhibition matches to make an epic pro seem crazy low.
Question is what should i do?
1. Sacrafice them straight away to train a legendary.
2. train them fully and then use them to train a legendary. (i can't imagine this being worth it though, right?)
3. just keep them in case i get lucky with a 2nd one.
i guess that question applies to any epic or legendary card that has no place in your line up.
Any tips?

It all depends on your current lineup. If one of those Pro'd, would be an upgrade, I usually keep them. I also look at individual stats, if they are among the worst of their Rating, I usually feed them away.
I think training them fully is worth it if you know you can win a KotR. That way you can have a maxed Epic card full of exp ready for when you win the KotR, he will level quickly that way. Those Epics give little exp when you feed them as a level 1.
My lineup is all Legendary, so Epics get fed right away. However I usually save single Legendary cards if they are good, like The Rock. I saved him for if I happen to find another single card. Probably not happening, but not risking to feed him away.

I have 4 fully leveled epic pros and a regular epic Kane and it's still not enough to do legendary KOTR. What else do I need?
