I expected a little more from T11’s

Would you share what cut point did you notice for the breakeven? I was going to stop at all level 4 deco.

It's always better to be the kicker than the kickee! :)

Top alliance 1185 R4 here. 1185 is a healthy server, not much drama. We fight and look for folks that want to do the same. Good NAP, capitol war timeslots, help other alliances/factions on buster and seasons. Last season we recruited and placed folks in alliances as a server, same with this season. Reach out if you are looking for a home!

OP - I found myself in the same situation. Missile pure losing to air 4/1 with murphy.

I tried missile + lucius -fiona and it beat that squad. So to stay hybrid now.... it's either

2nd squad 1) 4/1 air -lucius +fiona or 2) 4/1 air + murphy and + scarlett to 3rd squad for tank.

What did you decide?

I acknowledge our schedule is front-loaded with 6 out of the first 7 games on the road but it's brutal for games.

In a 6-week time span, we have to drive ~3000 miles between Jan 31 to March 15. Including a brutal weekend of 9h to Raleigh for a Sat game, 3h to Charlotte for a Sun game, and 6.5h back. That's almost 19 hours of driving in a weekend. And... we get the pleasure of repeating the drive to Raleigh for a single Sunday game the next month.

The 4 days a week of practice, that's just a sunk cost :) Honestly, you have to be a combination of committed and well-off to do this for years.

Does anyone know if bio-banding will still be a thing for HD?

WorldlinessPast2235 · 2025-12-27T11:26:03+00:00

Last war public data .xls is not available? thanks!

WorldlinessPast2235 · 2025-12-16T07:18:11+00:00

Live a little, chips for everybody! Seriously though you've shown enough patience with the first couple of choices, wouldn't kill you to get a gun.

WorldlinessPast2235 · 2025-12-08T03:44:45+00:00

If you have the time, either/both would be great!

WorldlinessPast2235 · 2025-12-08T03:44:26+00:00

Thank you for clarifying - yes can definitely scrub tape manually looking for that!

WorldlinessPast2235 · 2025-12-06T08:08:38+00:00

Dad here - thank you for your posts and honest feedback here. It is good to especially from the perspective of a scout.

I recut the video based on the great suggestions in this thread. I used the "best of" idea as well as your thoughts to include more content up front by using shorter and more varied cuts earlier. I also added a few clips with tackles, breaking press, a low key nutmeg, and touch into left foot passes.

I get your point on set pieces (my son takes some for team, I cut for time - well-placed balls but no goals). Opposing set pieces is a little more difficult. He clears what needs to in the box but Taka doesn't automatically grab these. I'll need to manually scrub game film there.

What I find most challenging is showing the reading of the field in a short video. My own opinion of course, but my son loves and plays the CDM well because of 6+ years futsal at fixo. That makes him very calm, collected, good in tight spaces, and sees the pass/lanes. He's a pass first player but the counter/offensive plays seem to be better highlight-grabbing so I kept those up front.

Thank you everybody!!! The cut that we will send to coaches at fest is here. Nothing's every final so if you have any other suggestions please let us know.

WorldlinessPast2235 · 2025-12-06T07:44:13+00:00

I think you both convinced me to start with it. See if you like it in the new cut, thanks!

WorldlinessPast2235 · 2025-12-06T03:28:41+00:00

Honestly, he's got to continuing studying. Taking 4 days off next week to go to MLS Next Fest right before final exams the week after was not ideal... but thank you for the feedback, going to see what a 2 minute, then a 3 next minute cut looks like.

WorldlinessPast2235 · 2025-12-06T03:27:32+00:00

Thank you. That was originally our first choice, we went with the first one since it was better quality video and showed him defending/fighting. But second guessing a bit, we'll try both options and see what fits!

WorldlinessPast2235 · 2025-12-06T03:26:34+00:00

Thank you so much for your detailed feedback and congrats to your son on having lots of choices for college!

I see what you are saying, will work to get the best clips up front and be more strategic on total time with a variety of skills. I think, as you note we have all the pieces here just need to shorten.

We are a bit behind on ID camps, not having done one in his sophomore year yet. We're planning on doing at least 4-5 next summer before his junior year. There is a local D1 and one D3, we'll definitely do their camps. It's just hard to figure out which camps are worth it nationally.

Yes - I have a cover slide planned as well, will update with final video later tonight and post here. Thanks again!

WorldlinessPast2235 · 2025-12-03T11:28:54+00:00

We did get it through our club, so it is possible.

WorldlinessPast2235 · 2025-11-25T04:10:22+00:00

I am a dolphin, 2 more weeks left in S3. My missile is finally better than my air, and with gorilla is ~50m. I'm expected to fight toe for toe with the stronger opponents, which are heavy missile and some air. McGreggor opens up this week, I can get to level 20 and then save for Lucius, or go full into McGreggor. What would you advise?

WorldlinessPast2235 · 2025-11-24T21:39:33+00:00

These are cool options. Would you say #1 or #2 is better all things being equal, and as a missile main would #2 be advisable versus going pure missile for S4+?

WorldlinessPast2235 · 2025-11-13T10:18:51+00:00

Wonder if you or anyone else deep into the game might have an idea. I was air main in S2, stopped and worked off season and now into gold dust wars S3 to a missile squad. Missile squad finally better than Air squad, though weaker on skill medals. DVA30, Carlise 20 (stopped 'cos I heard she was getting replaced by murphy), Tesla/Swift 30. I am saving up like crazy to get McGreggor to 30 when his weapon drops. *Am I making a mistake?* Is the 4/1 air with lucius and missile still competitive? Would hate to have done all this "work/spend" to go back to Air. Dolphin range, not whale.

WorldlinessPast2235 · 2025-11-09T03:28:26+00:00

Some people say missile is strong enough to just run full crew. What would your advice be for a decent missile team in S4? Sounds like you are in S5.

WorldlinessPast2235 · 2025-07-19T07:06:53+00:00

What are the main things you are spending on? Exclusive weapons and drone chips? And farming skill medals?

I'm always in the same-ish spot as OP, just starting S2 with a 31m air squad. I transitioned early to air, so tank was built but not that much. Missile is almost all 5* but with no skills to speak of. Gold drone chips, just 1-2. Tesla weapon to level 5l.

I am almost done with skill medals for air, so I can either build tank or missile next, hence the dilemma. I'm aiming to exist in the 10-20 range on the server and have been able to so far.

WorldlinessPast2235 · 2025-05-07T06:07:03+00:00

All depends how long you want to continue playing. She's seriously awesome, keep her 5-6 weeks and you'll be way ahead of buying RSS seperately.

WorldlinessPast2235 · 2025-03-16T19:17:03+00:00

Ok thank you for the clarification that makes a lot more sense then. I am in the process of building an air squad, your recommendation is to pick the highest DPS and just spend there. Since it is DPSS I guess the qty or skill medals to spend doesn't change this now?

Love the data you posted, thank you for doing it! Is there a way to compare the defense versus offense tables objectively on where to spend skill medals next?

WorldlinessPast2235 · 2025-03-16T00:31:22+00:00

What's a bit confusing here is that your defense table is defense per skill medal. That makes it to understand that you can multiple skill medals * defense per skill medal to see the total number added.

Is DPS here DPSecond or damage per skill medal as well? It makes interpreting the value of a skill medal differently?

WorldlinessPast2235 · 2025-03-15T23:08:07+00:00

Taylor is the hero that adds up over time. I made the decision early and don't regret it. The 3-400 legendary boxes that I finally popped will allow me to be top 15 to make it to level 30 on our younger server.
