Gear Ascension Tourney - Initial Thoughts

I am very glad that there is finally some sort of event/tourney that incentivizes running Shogun.

However, the scoring of this new tourney seems screwed up for two reasons: (1) you get more tourney points for earning lesser extracts/oils than greater/superior & (2) you get more points for running Shogun than Sand Devil.  Both of those seem like odd design choices to me.  

Personally, I would have preferred a Shogun Turn Attack Tourney over this and to have Shogun & Sand Devil rotate.  All that said, I am definitely still glad to have this added to the game.

So far, I have done 22 runs on Shogun 25 and I am averaging 165.23 pts per Super Raid.  At that rate, it will take me 61 Super Raids (2440 energy) to hit 10065 pts.

I don't give a crap about how the points are distributed, it's irrelevant.   All that matters is the average per run on 25.

PS saves you about 200 energy over SD so it's largely irrelevant in the grand scheme of things but I agree it's an odd choice to have different point distributions.

I had posted this in the discord, but basically greaters need to be about x2 points they are right now, superior x3 what thye are now. Due to how they are on how many you can get per run. So for Shogun as an exampl Greaters would need to be 16 instead of 8 and superiors would need to be 33 instead of 11. 

If doing Shogun and Super Raid and get double of the same resource this is what you can get points wise:

Lesser: 240 - 330
Greater: 112 - 144
Superior: 66-110 

If they X2 Greater and x3 Superior would make it look like this:

Lesser: 240 - 330
Greater: 224 - 288
Superior: 198 - 330 

Still would be less but would bring them closer in line. What they will probably do though since we can't have nice things is reduce Lesser from 3 points each to 1 point. Which would make the Lesser range be 80-110 making Greaters the better one. 

A better solution would be to increase the amount of Greater and Superior Extracts we can get per run. Greater goes from 3-4 at Stage 10 to 7-9 at stage 25. While Lessers go from 8-10 on stage 10 to 40-55 on stage 25. Greaters being like 20-25 on stage 25 and Superiors being like 10-15 on stage 25 would be a better distrubution with the increase in stages to max. 


I do like the tournament though. Points are pretty easy to get compared to like dungeon divers, turn attack, dungeon tournaments. Have 2440 points with like 300 energy atm. I am pretty unlucky in drops though normally get lesser, which is a benefit of this tournament though since that is where the points are at lol.

It took me 64 Super Raids on Shogun 25 to get 10,071 points, which is an average of 157.39 points per 40 nrg.  

That was 2560 energy, which is 33% more than it takes me to finish a SD Turn Attack Tourney when it is just the Immortal Soulstone around 5k, not the Prism at 6k.

I did get two ancient shards along the way, which does not lose points on a Turn Attack Tourney, but does in this one.

For comparison sake, the Sand Devil Tourney this week ends with the Immortal Stone at 5250 pts.  I get 110 points per Super Raid, so that will take 48 Super Raids to get 5280 points.  1920 energy.

I have a slow shogun team, so I'm guessing the point system was better than a turn attack style for me.  I certainly don't see this being on any must address/fix list lol.

Just go in and punch it in the face.  I'm sure you have capabilities of a fast smackdown team.

I would certainly agree that it isn't on any must-fix list. 

I am sure you could get a fast Shogun team if you needed one.

Shogun doesn't display turns, but I have the Badge for Shogun Under 15, so that team is certainly in the ball park of my 10 turn SD Team.

What did you pull this time?  I would say that "Trips Luck" ranks up there with "Thorne Luck" most of the time.

If its true Thorne Luck than he pulled exactly what wanted in less than 10 shards.

Pulled about 80 voids, added taras to my marichka  :)

And pulled another wand and a mythical relic from live arena materials.

About 80 voids on each. Just taras on main.  Krisk and two dupes on alt (tormin valkanen)

That is a good weekend.  Narses / Ursuga for me.  Low shards used but was close to mercy on both.
