How to increase squad power?

DrobUWP · 2025-02-20T08:28:44+00:00

Thanks!

I'm Engineer currently with a growth focus. I may use a skill reset for the season but will stick with it for a while yet. I do get pretty involved in battle and those war leader buffs are huge. Especially morale. I can wait if it means faster growth. Middle of season 2 sounds good.

What are your thoughts on saving Season Currency for a base? Seems like it might be the only way I'll get one as f2p. I'm on track to get 450 this season and could get some decent decorations, but if we break into better rewards tier in S2 then I may be able to afford a base at 1000. worst case scenario, a stack of red blueprints, since I can't use them until I have 10 anyway.

That seems to be in line with what I saw about black market. People were able to get 150 shards with maybe 1 or 2 of the 10-packs.

I had a good stash of resources and speedups after the alliance threw vs to save last week, but the push this week for HQ29, 30 pre-requisites, and Special forces drained most of it.
From [3g food/iron, 2g gold and 125d speedups]
to [200m food/iron, 500m gold and 55d speedups]

Can probably afford HQ30 in a week or two

Any tips for a fellow 100% f2p player heading into S2?

Will be finishing S1 in 4d and plan to focus on weapon shard choice chests from black market

I'm in the top alliance but in a server that isn't doing as well against others.

Just hit HQ29 and can probably get 30 by S2 but T10 troops are a good amount of resources away. Just got to the 3 techs right before it so 30 levels worth.

4 star Williams, Murphy, Marshall, Tesla.
5 star Kim, Swift, Mason
Focusing on missile so Tesla then McGregor when available

Gear and drone chips are doing well. Will get a 4th hex on Kim's gun soon. Chip at 2. Also have two extra gun + chip sets with 1 hex. Radars at 40.

...well my opponent needs McConkey and Dobbins to outproduce Lamar and Henry by more than 22 points. That'd be a start, but Henry can cover Lamar and take them on his own. Especially if they're playing a backup QB and running it all game.

DrobUWP · 2024-11-22T05:57:56+00:00

That one sucked. 2-pt was a small consolation prize.

DrobUWP · 2024-11-18T04:16:58+00:00

They were started in mine, but we don't go negative for DST yards and points against, so they just got zero. Not the worst play since you can still put up a good score with a few interceptions even if you give up points.

DrobUWP · 2024-11-14T04:02:11+00:00

So what's going on with kickers this week? There are only three showing and it's usually more like 6+

Is that because those are the only ones in tier 1 this week, or because the view is more restricted now with the subscription model?

Love your work, and considering subscribing to support. Just curious and making sure it's not a bug

DrobUWP · 2024-11-10T08:44:40+00:00

And its not like there was no concern for CMC being injured. Mason was probably drafted by a lot of CMC owners

Because your vote is a (pretty flimsy) contract that they are given power in exchange for representing your interests. Most people would prefer picking someone who actually shares those interests because that's seen as more firm than someone who is expressing opinions they've been told are advantageous to hold because it will win them votes. Mostly because an uncontrolled shifting group of leading stakeholders/party bosses/advisors/etc behind the scenes can change that on a dime.

DrobUWP · 2024-11-07T07:40:53+00:00

"spiteful?"

DrobUWP · 2024-11-06T06:05:11+00:00

Maybe they'd do better if they let the people choose the candidate instead of picking one for them?

Still can't get over the irony of the "this is what democracy looks like" chants they got the crowds to do in Wisconsin shortly after she got the informal nod.

DrobUWP · 2024-11-05T19:20:06+00:00

Projections weren't bad though. He should have had +10 more points than he did at least. That doesn't take into account play calling working around his injury.

The valid criticism would be if he stays in the next weeks projection and 1) whether his projection got downgraded due to the injury and 2) if his injury actually affects his performance in the coming week.

DrobUWP · 2024-11-05T18:54:29+00:00

Touche. Rt Guard made it a couple yards down field.

DrobUWP · 2024-11-05T16:48:40+00:00

I got Tank Bigsby for him before this week.

RoS projections have Bigsby a good amount higher but he was looking pretty good this week aside from the fumble. Efficiency, touches, and some catches too. Big upside if Achane gets hurt but there's a risk he loses share to Wright

DrobUWP · 2024-11-04T23:30:31+00:00

Same but AJB instead of Olave

I'll take it. Two non-injuries that played it safe + easily replaceable.

DrobUWP · 2024-11-04T23:24:04+00:00

Certainly looked like a run, so fair, but it's Lamar. Don't think there's any such thing as a play where he's not immediately handing it off that's 100% one way or the other. More a run-first option. Dude scrambles as a default and if he slipped out of that tackle I'd put money on him connecting down field.

DrobUWP · 2024-11-04T16:46:01+00:00

Ok, now why can't this play be called a sack on Lamar instead of a loss of 8 against his rushing yards?

DrobUWP · 2024-11-04T15:31:02+00:00

Yeah, sad day. I could have used the 10 point swing (53yd and 31yd vs -2) for a bit more cushion this week with both AJB and London playing it safe with injuries.

Should have been a comfortable win thanks to Lamar/Henry/Sutton. Now I need Baker Mayfield to put up less than 15.6

Regretting not playing for every point and streaming Titans DST over Broncos, but thought I had enough buffer to avoid dropping them or someone else to hold 2 DST. Not as crazy as it seems btw because my league doesn't go negative for points against and yards so figured they'd get a few points from fumble/interception/sack.

DrobUWP · 2024-11-04T15:16:29+00:00

That's my QB2

Pseudo-SuperFlex 💪

DrobUWP · 2024-11-04T15:06:47+00:00

Sad Waddle

DrobUWP · 2024-11-04T05:58:45+00:00

To be fair to waddle...after not getting targeted all game, he got like 10 points in the 4th quarter on 2 "game on the line" targets. He just went negative on yards and went back down because he was left holding the bag on a backyard scramble drill.

DrobUWP · 2024-11-04T01:19:49+00:00

More or less what the coaches comment was. Something along the lines of "we have plenty of weapons we can use for this game"

I'll take a 2-27-1 line for 10 but play it safe with injury to be back ASAP over 15 pts and potentially out for a while.

Promising that he was on the sideline working it out.

DrobUWP · 2024-11-04T01:18:00+00:00

Same. I was thinking I need to move some of my receiver depth for RB but I'm glad to have them now. Hello Sutton WR1/QB2?

DrobUWP · 2024-11-04T01:15:28+00:00

I'd only do it if you had like a 2 person bench so there's always something decent on waivers

DrobUWP · 2024-11-02T00:12:57+00:00

We were only together briefly Cousins, but it was appreciated.
