New Tournament! 01/05/2016 - Icegator

[31aug2002]

I wonder how these tournaments are programmed

Round 6 lvl 3 money badger ... On my main IPad account I have had 2 losses with my strong Deadwing which is at lvl10 and 2 with the doubly strong sugarskull glider ago lvl 10
But on my android account the lvl 6 sugarskull glider took it down in one strike.

The answer: random.
But.... the 'random' factor IS influenced by the opponent you choose; you improve your odds by choosing strong elements, high level, and as rare an animal as possible.
At the end of the day it's still a roll of the dice (which is why you can win against a level 20 ultra rare using a level 1 Pyro Pony, and why your epic Ultra Rare can also lose from a level 1 common animal), but you can "pick a dice with better odds" by optimising the combination of elements, level and rarity.

This isn't going well so far. I've needed at least two tries on each of the first five rounds, aside from #3. I've now had two losses on round 5, with my epic, ultra rare Pearl Peryton being unable to take down the winter wolverine.

4 losses on round 3, 1 with level 15 Barn Owl, 3 with level 15 Crystal Unicorn. So I decided what the heck let's put my level 9 dripmunk up against this level 3 dripmunk and see what happens. Wouldn't you know it I win, finally, first hit, critical, and down he went. Random, most definitely.

Well it seems I'm in good company.
FINALLY got past round 1 with my Panda.

Hopefully those of us having trouble in these early rounds will have smooth sailing towards the end!

I am SO disappointed in myself. I chose the epic Panda to battle the lvl 4 Frostfang in round 8. The first tap generated a critical hit. So did the second. Then, THEN in my BRILLIANCE I leaned my lazy hand across the iPad to tap in the final blow and apparently the edge of my palm hit the ultimate hit button and 30 gems went up in flames.

Add me to the list of folks with a lot of early losses. My battles so far are here. Since so many of us are having the same experience (more than usual it seems to me), maybe the odds are being revised. ???? The last tournament (3 day) in DS was especially difficult too.

Ouch! That is awful. :-(
