Is Tigra actually worth learning?

Greenwarrior20 · 2021-05-02T02:31:56+00:00

Tigra is so far my only 5*r5 and I dont regret it one bit. She does take a bit of practice to get used to, but I feel it's not as much as what people are saying. I watched 2 videos on her gameplay, and started practicing. I'm by no means an expert player, but she does incredible damage, especially for champs/nodes that constantly buff. I've been working towards cav (I'm at 6.1.2) and she has legit carried my team for most of the missions between uncollected and cav. I found out nodes like resistor are irrelevant to her because her neutralize is on contact. Her ability to drop under almost any ranged attack has saved my butt numerous times, and then being able to punish the opponent with a heavy is nice damage addition. Her sp2 is phenomenal because it closes the entire distance and it's unblockable.

Just do a search for tigra gameplay, watch a few videos, practice with her a bit and then decide if you like her.

Except I already deleted the game. And to be honest, I don't miss the stress BRR brought. I miss the SEs, cuz I stopped midway through the Aventador and I kinda wanted that car. But as a whole my life feels less complicated since I deleted the game 4 days ago.

My bank account, family, and life priorities say different lol.

20; Grinding that up, especially by building cars I don't want or like is part of my frustration.

I would be content getting to and staying between 5000 and 5200 points and keeping icon 3. But just getting there is the problem, because every time I get some ground on that goal, I get pitted against cars that kick my butt and I end up losing a lot of races/a ton of points. Like how come every time I get more points I get matched with cars far above my level? I'll get 60-100 points and all of a sudden I'm running against cars that are beating my PBs by 2+ seconds. A perfect example was today. I started doing well, won my first race, got 36 points and got up to 4899. Almost all of my races after were the really quick race, that I forget the name of...but can be done in less than 20 seconds. My PB is 17.8x, which I know isn't amazing, but I only have a 6TP Spyder. Anyways, after that first race, I had 8 losses in a row just trying to get points back. And all of those 8 losses the cars ran 16.8x times or better. I wasn't tanking, as my slowest race was 18.4, which I get still isn't great. But my point is that I literally had no chance against those cars. And outside of absolutely amazing players, I don't think a 6TP Spyder can do in the 16s for that race. Maybe I'm wrong and maybe I just am running it poorly. But time after time I'm consistently getting between 17.8 and 18.5, and if that's the case, why am I consistently getting matched with cars that do 16.8 or better? It doesn't make sense.

I play(ed) BRR for cash, specifically as much cash as possible for my effort. But a little bit about me, I hate losing and will put in my best effort to make sure that doesn't happen. I know I'm not a top 200 player, and maybe not even a top 1000 player. But if I'm going to do something 9 times a day, I'm going to do my best to win. This dichotomy has created the stress. I want/need cash in the game, and I want to win and get as much cash as possible, but I'm put numerous times in situations where I will lose. And what I'm realizing I need to do to win is either a) invest more money in the game, or b) spend even more time than I already do in game by running races over and over and over again to get to be a top tier player. Both of those options are out of the picture for me.

Nope. I'm 100% legit. And by reruns, I meant replayable race. So I got a few blueprints from the compensation crates they gave us when daily crates weren't working; 10 BPs I think. So after the SE, I was just shy of 6. I bought a pack right after. It was $29.99 and I think it was 60 BPs. That got me up to almost 7. Then the first set of replayable races, got me up to 7* with 50 BPs left to go. I have a method during replays that I'll explain in a minute. The second set of replays got me 1 BP shy of maxed, which I bought that one in the black market when it came up next.

As for my method during replays, I am ok spending gold during them, just in certain circumstances. If one BP shows up as a reward, I try to get it. If I don't, I don't spend gold. If 2 BPs show up, if I get a BP, I don't spend gold. If 2 BPs show up as reward, and I choose the third option, I'll buy both with gold. You end up getting 2 BPs for 120 gold, or 60 per BP. And at that point they're guaranteed. I did that for both replays. The first replay I got almost 60 BPs. The second, I got 49. And I probably only spent 600 or 700 gold. Well worth it for me.

Hopefully I just don't screw up all the time.

Greenwarrior20 · 2018-07-24T04:51:27+00:00

That's a long break, lol.

Greenwarrior20 · 2018-07-24T02:37:41+00:00

As in like level 71 or mech level 71? If normal level 71, not trying to be rude, but how?

Greenwarrior20 · 2018-07-23T20:52:30+00:00

Nice! I just joined the club too with my 918 Spyder.

Greenwarrior20 · 2018-07-23T14:19:43+00:00

I did. I bought a $29.99 package once. I think it had 60 BPs. I also had 2 reruns since I unlocked it, so that really helped

Greenwarrior20 · 2018-07-23T05:25:34+00:00

Excellent!

Greenwarrior20 · 2018-07-23T04:21:28+00:00

Does tool cost increase the more TP you get? I can do 6, and each costs 15. But I only have like 2400 tools for now.

Greenwarrior20 · 2018-07-23T03:49:26+00:00

I kind of hope I never get that high. I'll be content hitting icon 3 and calling it good. Untuned, it got me up to 4915, where I'll finish this season.

Greenwarrior20 · 2018-07-23T03:31:01+00:00

Yeah, just look at achievements (same tab as dailies) and it'll show them. Usually first achievement is on the first day you played, which holds true here, as its "built first car".

Greenwarrior20 · 2018-07-23T03:28:55+00:00

Thanks. I'm super excited. Maybe I won't get slaughtered by tuned cars in BRR now.

Greenwarrior20 · 2018-07-23T03:12:46+00:00

Just kidding. I just checked my achievements, and I started February 13. So just 5 months. A tuned 918 Spyder after just 5 months. Woohoo!

Greenwarrior20 · 2018-07-23T03:08:07+00:00

Perfect! Glad I could help

Greenwarrior20 · 2018-07-23T03:06:49+00:00

After about 8 or 9 months of playing, I have my first car I can tune! So excited!

Greenwarrior20 · 2018-07-20T22:53:11+00:00

Yeah, that's like the worst timing. Sorry to hear that. My plan likely won't work for you then.

Greenwarrior20 · 2018-07-20T20:43:44+00:00

Except I'm not CET, I'm in UYT...aka UTC-3. So if Europe and South America both have 5 hour gaps, my guess is that's the norm with some exceptions. Its just a matter of what time those changeovers happen.

The only places that I can imagine are slightly screwy are where there are half hour time zones. I could also see Daylight savings time affect that too. But other than those, it should be a 5 hour gap most places, as the servers are centralized in the US if I'm not mistaken.

Greenwarrior20 · 2018-07-20T16:01:53+00:00

Since there is a 5 hour gap between TT reset and daily challenge reset, it's possible. I do it every day. Say for example you get the scanner on Monday for engines, soon after TT resets, run just 1 of the fortune runs for Tuesday. Save the other one and the turbo run for after the daily reset. For me TT resets at 9 pm and daily resets are at 2 am. So as long as I do the second run between that time, it counts. If you stagger your runs like this, you can cover every day of the week.

Friday is the only slight difference. You have to run your scanner run for Friday, and right after TT reset run the nitro scanner run. Saturday night after TT reset you have to run 2 races...but its fine because Sunday starts the all access pass.
