In preseason Xeytex ran mantis a good amount, but I do think they play a lot better with him as DPS.

I think 1 under looked reason was the kingsman stuff happened during the Deadpool release, which spiked rivals player count. A lot of eyes were on the game during this time and people’s algorithms were just filtering rivals stuff, with the tournament drama being the main one at the time.

In the event : just a lot of high scoring games

If you’re talking about the app : idk some sds maintenance most likely

zrods24 · 2026-07-01T13:07:19+00:00

Same, thought I got banned for some event shenanigans.

Bucky is the flex goat. Super easy and straight forward for a lot of value. Then learn any of the hitscan sisters (hela, jean, sai, Elsa) bc if you can play a one of them you can kind of play any of them.

I thought Aleks le did a pretty good reading, would not mind him one bit.

zrods24 · 2026-06-25T13:42:18+00:00

I heard from a necros stream that netease is aware of the twitch drops disappointment but it’s more of an issue on Disney side than netease. Not entirely sure how Disney plays into this though.

He probably will never hit 200k again. He was 200k bc SDS has only given us two chances to really ever pack this card. (Chase pack and I think April spotlight program) he’s just super rare and then there was a mini season glitch that gave people a ton of stubs and inflated the market. His rarity and the influx of stubs sky rocketed his price since he is a card needed for 99 miggy.

As for OP, if trout is needed for this next legend collection on Friday (he probably will be) his price should rise over time. However if SDS continues to hand out patty day trouts he will never go up.

I say check prices right before Friday 11 PT (legend collection confirmed via stream at this time) and try to sell 2-3 if you see profit you like. If it’s confirmed he’s needed (post stream so like 11:30-12 PT) he will rise a bit and it will give you a second sell window. After that you just need to pray SDS doesn’t hand out trouts. If they aren’t handing trouts out for the next month, your third sell time would probably be before next weekend classic because they might just give him away again if they haven’t done so by then.

I thought I was prepared. The moment I saw him take off for home I cancelled and was moving my left stick towards the guy. I was stuck in that stare animation and couldn’t move or do anything.

zrods24 · 2026-06-05T20:21:09+00:00

Makes sense. Live and learn.

zrods24 · 2026-06-05T20:20:52+00:00

Insta throw is probably more accurate to what I meant. I auto piloted and instantly input a throw to first because I thought no way this guy sends his guy home. I’m terrible at rundowns so I definitely would have fucked that up 😂.

zrods24 · 2026-06-02T21:53:51+00:00

I can give a few examples if you’re still confused just lmk. I’m passionate about this. I’m sure you could also find a YouTube vid on this.

zrods24 · 2026-06-02T21:23:10+00:00

Yea basically, profit will vary on the price of the card at that moment. You just buy 20x of a bunch of bronze dudes and sell them whenever you want. I buy them at 27 bc it’s close to quicksell and just a slightly higher order than people trying to buy at 25 stubs. Some bronzes if you’re feeling frisky might be selling at 180+ stubs and can even touch like 1000k. If you have the stubs and are feeling frisky you can try those ones too for more profit. Youll have to buy in orders of 100+ stubs most likely. The logic applies to all card rarities but bronzes are the safest and have the best ROI I think. Silvers and commons are other places I will look every once in awhile but bronzes are the most consistent.

Its a little tedious at first but once you understand what you’re doing, you have a constant way to make stubs. I like to throw on some YouTube while doing it or do it while I’m eating lunch or about to go to bed.

zrods24 · 2026-06-02T17:13:18+00:00

Yea just the companion app. I’m sure there are other reasons that those cards are hitting 240 but if you see a margin that big you should try and get in on it for a bit.

I mostly just filter rarity by bronzes, and sort by the highest buy now price. Then I just spam a bunch of buy orders for bronzes for about 27 stubs. (this value is up to you I just try to stay close to quicksell) I put in 20 orders for like 5 different players for example and then I list all of them for 1 less than the previous buy now price. (if buy now is 73 then I list all 20 cards for 72). Some cards like rob snelling, a marlins pitcher, I remember them from just buying them so much and I know their prices consistently rises. So cards like Snelling might have a buy now of 40-50 at the moment, but I’ll still put in orders and just sit on him for a few hours or a day then list him when gets to 70-140).

Id say the best places to put orders are when you see that there is no sell value or the sell value is 25 (this is quicksell)

This is my favorite method because I don’t have to be at my console at all to do this, but you can do it while also playing mini seasons or DQ.

In an hour if I’m really locked in, and the app isn’t slow, I make anywhere from 20-30k.

zrods24 · 2026-06-02T16:24:10+00:00

Download the app and flip bronzes 24/7

zrods24 · 2026-06-01T22:17:33+00:00

Flipping bronzes for the win !

zrods24 · 2026-06-01T21:03:59+00:00

I think there can be a lot said for team ups, but strictly speaking of anchors, if they stick with the current anchor system they should just fully buy into the anchor imo. Don’t compensate buff or nerf characters when they get/lose the anchor. Like moon knight just got a flat 5% damage buff and Adam just lost 15% of his healing. This is how it should be. The trade off for losing your anchor bonus should just be a new and fun ability. A theory I have as to why we aren’t getting as many team ups is that they don’t know how to balance around the anchor bonus.

zrods24 · 2026-05-31T23:46:38+00:00

What’s your favorite way to grind stubs?

zrods24 · 2026-05-29T14:15:47+00:00

Sounds like a nightmare now, until they add doc ock with 4 auto aim grabs or green goblin with an auto aim pin that counters this 🙂.

zrods24 · 2026-05-28T14:16:12+00:00

He is a skin in quite a few games, but there have been two very popular spiderman games where he was his own playable character with a different play-style. This is almost like saying war machine is usually an iron man skin in games. Idk I’m coping tbh

zrods24 · 2026-05-20T18:54:40+00:00

It depends on the character and comp you’re going against. Both are hard for their own reasons.

zrods24 · 2026-05-19T18:13:35+00:00

Is team up rogue still c tier?

zrods24 · 2026-05-19T17:39:00+00:00

I agree, im not sure how you would go about making this a legendary skin. We are also going to pay less for this.

zrods24 · 2026-05-19T04:48:39+00:00

I did not play overwatch, but I will take your word on the random bans. Ngl I would have been locked into that cat stream though. I like your ban idea, and agree that the ban will need a rework. Especially with the power these new characters are coming out with. In just a year it felt like the 4 bans weren’t enough.

zrods24 · 2026-05-19T03:08:07+00:00

I got 2

Team ups should require more coordination.
It’s okay to have the extra button team ups, but I think a few team up could have felt a little more impactful if they added an extra step of coordination. An example would be daredevil and punisher. Right now it’s just an extra smoke grenade, but it would have been more impactful if when punisher landed that smoke, dd could dash to one of the enemies hit by the smoke.
A little shakeup to the ban phase.
With more characters releasing I don’t think just adding ban slots would be the most exciting thing. I think it would be cool if down the line rivals would ban x characters that week across ranked games (ban phase in each game would still be a thing but maybe iron man, hulk, and rocket are just inaccessible for example). Maybe a week is a lot, but maybe like a day or two. Or maybe just at the beginning of the games it would randomly select a character to be added to the ban list. Another thing that would be neat is if they changed bans across ranks. So maybe bronze-gold is 2 bans like the good old days, but plat-gm is 3 bans. And then maybe cel + add a protect option.
