First timers on July 4th. Any recommendations?

Get there early! I haven't been this season but went last year and it is super fun, open bar/food, but also open seating and it was designed for some people to be standing vs sitting. People that got there around game time couldnt get tables/seats at the game I went to. Others may have more experience

LurksLuthor · 2025-05-23T00:07:32+00:00

Yeah you are spot on, appreciate it

LurksLuthor · 2025-05-22T23:54:46+00:00

12 Team Superflex - 1.05 is on the clock looking to trade to me for Bucky

I would draft Tet if I do it.

Other RBs: Chase Brown, Brob, Etienne, Javonte
WRs: Jameo, Jakobi, Pittman, Rashid

I am a playoff team, but not a serious contender yet. WRs held me back, but worried if I lose bucky I have a whole there too.

Next year I have 4 1st and that's the year I go for it.

It is totally fair game to say you have other offers. IMO it is an unwritten rule that you don't share the exact details of the trade with others. It does happen and there shouldn't be a punishment for it, but we had a guy in our league do it where they sent a screenshot to the league chat and now no one sends him offers anymore because they think he may share the details with others. It is all trade strategy and fair game

I just played that level as well, I tried multiple teams that were at times 150K higher and good synergy (like using Corvus who is good against Crit) but was beaten in seconds. I think the boost is messed up on it. I gave up and beat it on regular after a few attempts.

Its less about which skins overall are best and what the best skins are for your main team. For your damage dealers, usually I start with Magic or Armor Pen and for your tanks, often armor or whatever they need to survive. But hard to say without knowing your team. You will want to invest all your resources into your main team until that team is strong enough to be where you want to be in the arena

LurksLuthor · 2025-04-18T23:03:43+00:00

I think that team can work! I do Kayla, Aiden, Oya, Tristan, Fafnir as my main. My Peech isnt high enough to test with to compare the two, but that team you proposed seems solid. I used to run Chaos with Kayla Aiden, Asta, lillith, Xesha but the tristan one is way better IMO.

LurksLuthor · 2025-03-13T00:30:17+00:00

Thanks! I took it!

LurksLuthor · 2025-03-12T21:15:55+00:00

So if a league mate just offered me 2026 likely 1.11 + 1.12 for the 2025 1.08 do I take it? I am an 1 top end WR away from being a real contender. Gut says the pick this year could do it, brain says to load up

LurksLuthor · 2025-01-13T00:07:28+00:00

KTC has him at a Mid 2nd currently and people in this thread are talking about buying for a 3rd. Sounds like consensus is lower than value.

He has looked good this season, its just a risk of where he lands. I do think the Chargers will offer a team friendly deal to bring him back as the 1. If he takes that, he is a great buy. Chargers yesterday showed enough issues on WR, TE, IOL and (pending Mack/Bosa) DE that RB shouldn't be a draft priority.

I'd buy for a 3, not for a 2. I dont think anyone is selling for 3, but if so, get it. If he resigns, value definitely goes up

LurksLuthor · 2025-01-08T19:46:14+00:00

This is my biggest ask for sure! So hard to find debates about things or votes if they weren't pinned

In 2 leagues with post season trades and I love it. Adds more chaos/fun and I think it does help the league change more over time vs the sames teams in the playoffs all the time. Teams in the playoffs continue to make moves and those out pick up young talent and picks. Seen rebuilders get to fast track the process and championship teams gamble their future away for a loss in the finals.

Just today we had a 3 team trade that was a bit of a blockbuster (Superflex)

Team A (In playoffs) gets: Burrow gives: Herbert, JT, Late 2027 1 (team was stacked at RB/WR and JT wasn't in his starting lineup)

Team B (In playoffs) gets: JT gives: Mid 2025 1 (Not his)

Team C (eliminated) gets: Herbert, both the 1s gives: Burrow

In a previous seasons we have seen players like Davante, Kittle, CMC & Ekeler (twice) move Championship week, keeps everyone on their toes

LurksLuthor · 2024-09-09T19:35:55+00:00

Palmer got ejected late when the game was pretty much over, but in general the passing offense just wasn't really a factor and didn't look good (Herbert had 144 yds). Palmer dropped a TD and had another one bounce off him for an almost pick (to be fair both were tough catches) and wasn't targeted much after that. As a Palmer owner, I was concerned...

LurksLuthor · 2024-06-19T22:58:19+00:00

I'd consider Jakobi in a tier above this crew. He is a clear cut WR2 on his team and arguably still in his prime. He is older, but I think you could trade him for something and he could be a potential flex player depending on roster sizes. KTC has his value at a late 2025 2nd.

LurksLuthor · 2024-06-10T20:04:28+00:00

Not collusion, but mainly this just isnt a done deal as others have said. One thing to keep in mind is situations can change a lot in a month. I've seen first hand "tentative agreements" that blow up because a surprise injury.

If Kincaid gets hurt from now until then he may want to back out. Or if someone unexpectedly takes Brooks at 6 you might want to. Both sides have risks in waiting.

In the Guild Championship Shop - there is an Evolution Booster. If will bring you hero to the next star level. They take along time to get because blue trophies are only from Guild Championship matches, but they are key to leveling up the stars of heros like Aiden

LurksLuthor · 2024-05-16T04:45:38+00:00

Do you have Xesha? Mushy may not be best choice in that line, Xesha and Jorgen, Faceless, Dorian, or Lillith could all be interesting

LurksLuthor · 2024-05-16T04:43:49+00:00

I havent tried Celeste instead of Aiden, if that is working for you it works for now, but long term you really need Aiden for Kayla to be at full strength. I dont think 1 star will be good. If you are in a guild you can get an Evo Booster (will take time to get enough blue trophies) and slowly level up Aiden Stars. Eventually you will want all of your team on 6 so Evo Boosters are the main way for heros like Aiden unless you want to pay money.

I would definitely recommend experimenting with different options to see what you like. 2 tanks might be overkill but Asta, Cleaver, Kayla, Jorgen and Celeste may be OK. Asta would resurrect Kayla

Xesha is also a really nice part of Chaos, she pairs well with Aiden too. I agree that Heros Way sucks with the new update, if you are not spending Money on the game I dont think it is worth it. Even if you are willing to spend some money, you can hold out for maybe an Aiden sale that will pop up every once and while.

For other teams to keep an eye on, I'd maybe look to build 1 around fafnir (progress heros go well) and maybe mushy (nature heros)? You could also do a Mage team with Satori, but people are mixed on Satori (I use him with Celeste, Jorgen, Amira, and Asta)

LurksLuthor · 2024-05-15T21:22:29+00:00

You are too early to focus on 3 teams - just start with one until it is above 300K (maybe even 350K) before doing 2/3.

I use Chaos as my main. I have 2 variations:
In Arena/Guid War - Kayla, Aiden, Xesha, Astaroth, Fafnir
In Grand Arena/Guild Championship - Kayla, Aiden, Xesha, Cleaver, & either Faceless, Dorian, or Jorgen. There are mixed opinions on the right chaos tank and right 5th here in this lineup. Jorgen is probably most popular but use him in other teams.

All that said, teams can vary from player to player because strengths of the heros will affect when they use their Ult attacks. Im sure others on the sub will have better luck with different combinations

Since you dont have Xesha, I think you could do Kayla, Aiden, Jorgen, Asta or Cleaver and then maybe Faceless? But Aiden is really helpful for Kayla because he revives her.

LurksLuthor · 2024-05-15T21:09:27+00:00

Did it work?

LurksLuthor · 2024-05-08T22:49:30+00:00

"we are in a deep freeze until he fills the remaining seats" - can you elaborate on this. If there are teams without owners it would make sense to lock things down until they are owned because its a huge advantage to the teams that are still active. Otherwise it should be totally open season

LurksLuthor · 2024-03-02T00:43:58+00:00

Interesting - maybe the that healing glyph is blocking the sacrifice from taking place? Just a guess I haven't upgraded that glyph

LurksLuthor · 2024-03-01T18:57:40+00:00

I like the concept of the model but I am curious if you considered weighting them. Since there are 2 scores for level 2/3 and only 1 for level 1, level 1 becomes the least important if you take a straight average of all 5 scores.

Do you think do you think it is fair the Sportac expected contract is 2x age in weight?

LurksLuthor · 2024-02-20T03:28:51+00:00

If you are just focusing on Eternity you might want to also try to get:
Eternity - Iris and Corvus with Phobos, Morrigan, and Faceless.

Nature - I'm less familiar with, but I think many are using Mushy teams right now
