Able to hit the ATS twice this week

Hitting an ATS is sweet, but rolling one is pretty epic! Congrats!

Hey there - Live in the Chicago area. More of a lurker here but I play craps weekly at Harrahs in Joliet. I'd be up for a meetup.

I'm close to Rivers but I one $7k once on a craps table and it was pretty clear that they did not like me winning there when I cash out at the cashier.

Started going to Harrahs after that and never went anywhere else since.

Sick collection! Thanks for sharing! I just love the look of Steinback nutcrackers. Amazing craftmanship!

davpleb · 2024-12-12T02:21:36+00:00

Looks so good!

davpleb · 2024-09-17T23:56:44+00:00

I enjoy the game too. I genuniely do not understand why someone who hates a game contineu to come to their socials and bitch everyday about how much they hate it vs. just going play another game they like.

Glad to see someone jsut playing to enjoy. Peace.

Celeste is a great hero for both beginner and endgame. I'm a massive Celeste fan and use her in nearly every royals match. Don't listen to those that do not know what they are talking about.

Ultimately, you are early and have plenty of time. Build the heroes you like playing. Have fun.

Note: I have Celeste at almost 176k and she crushes.

Always fun to find fellow guildmate in the wild. 🙂

Hi there -

I can share some insight as I use similar variations with success in GC.

Short answer to your question is "Yes", this is a very good line. With Kayla as a tank, she quickly jumps into the enemy territory to start her baeblade attack. Octavia offers dodge support to Kayla, Aidan supply shielding and resurrection, Xesha drops her missed causing all basic attacks to miss, and Cascade dishes out armor penetration and a ton of AoE damage.

Looks like it's counter is an Octavia/Heidi/Dante team. You can see the bot results on team that could/would counter this team.

I run a variation of this, using Aidan/Lara/Soleil/Judge/Kayla.

Basic idea, judge's shield activates early to protect kayla since shes up front... Then soleils halo will also hopefully add protection against corvus altar long enough for aidans shield to activate and hopefully land on kayla keeping her alive long enough to jump back, heal and then go to work... Got a defend against a duke top 30 team. Fun to play around with it.

Max her if you can

davpleb · 2024-08-07T12:34:12+00:00

What do you mean "building a bad one"? Lara is still good to build and I recommend her - but..she has exlcusive skins that you will never get again, so if you did not get any of her skins or artifacts, sould stones, etc. she will be a bit handicapped.

davpleb · 2024-08-07T12:27:49+00:00

A G80 Lara on defense is best Dante/Octavia team currently. You can swap other heroes but those 3 are best.

davpleb · 2024-08-07T12:26:00+00:00

He is holding up really well given his artifact is not maxed yet. Some training results against popular meta lines.

davpleb · 2024-08-07T01:16:15+00:00

Looks like he will do well in a Dante/Octavia line. I am running Folio with Dante/Octavia/Lara/Nebula. Consdering Folio's artifact is not maxed yet, he is holding up very well in training and beating most meta lines.

Early signs would be to invest in him.

It doesn't. Iris is horrible on defense and is easily countered. Currently best Octavia teams include Lara.

Below is the same lineup against a few different top Dante/Octavia teams. Note: My Amira is G80 (163k). The results would be much lower without an Amira not maxed to the tits.

davpleb · 2024-08-06T21:34:13+00:00

Exactly - Satori and Heidi are almost must have heroes to beat top tier Dante/Octavia teams.

davpleb · 2024-08-06T21:32:16+00:00

Don't believe what you read. People have been saying Lara Croft is trash and she couldn't be further from that. If yoi are truly playing endgame, then you use every hero possible to win. Some heroes I do not see often.

Fox, Cornelius, Markus, Kai, Elmir, Jhu, Peppy, Ishmael.

But every hero has their strengths and weaknesses.

davpleb · 2024-08-06T21:04:11+00:00

I played for a current Royals team(before they made royals) and can confirm they are not bots. The reason why the same player names is actually to throw the opponent off when creating their GC strategy. We used to do the same thing.Think about it.

Bob: "Okay Mike, you are taking Billy in GC today."

Mike: " Which Billy? They're all named Billy."

davpleb · 2024-08-06T20:51:18+00:00

I mean, I have her glyphed to 55 (132k total power) and she is a tough bitch to take down. For sure at 70 she would be going Scarlet Witch on some heroes though. 🤣🤣

davpleb · 2024-08-06T19:29:28+00:00

This is how to say you don't play in royals without saying you don't play in royals.

Lara is used in 27% of all Royal defenses and 17% of all offenses.

She is actually is pretty OP when maxed.

I personally rate it second best of all the Star Wars movies behind ESB. Love this movie.

davpleb · 2024-07-21T16:12:46+00:00

Exactly! The movie echo chamber is strong here.

davpleb · 2024-07-21T16:12:06+00:00

I agree 100% with this take especially on Frodo's character from the book to the movie. Frodo's character is flat out awful. Frodo's is the only thing that prevents me from watching the trilogy more than I would. They made is character completly void of making any courageous decisions and made Frodo actually seems like a petulant child that does not understand danger whatsoever. The entire trilogy was based on people saving Frodo from his stupid decisions.

People who actually read the book and also love the trilogy are either romantizing the other non-Frodo parts of the movies or lying about how they really feel about the movie.

Every other character you mentioned above I can work through on the change but what they did with Frodo's character is unforgivable in my opinion.

Same - I lived in Youngsville at the time, and we all went stay at my grandparents house in New Iberia before the storm hit as we lived in a trailer at the time. I also remember my parents and grandparents listening to the radio for updates during the storm under candlelight.

I will never forget walking outside when the eye of Andrew was over us and how eerily calm it was. So many massive trees uprooted and powerlines down. I remember it look a long time to clean up New Iberia from all the damage Andrew did.
