3 level 11's taken out, 1 left. From there nothing but 13's and up.

Your defensive capabilites and attack capabilities drop when you LF does right? I see this every time I purge. Why is this not true for the bots? It takes away any strategy for taking the higher level ones out, because you essentially cant5 with how it is now. Or am I missing something? Also, you can only lose 40% of your max in an attack correct? Is this just for defenders or does it apply to those who initiate an attack as well?

Why do you get overboost? Bots don't.

I would give up overboost if it gave a viable opportunity to strategize. Allthough I learned the bots convert LFR to LF immediately after an attack, so it makes the argument essentially moot.

Edit: 2nd question still stands.

Edit2: Actually, if you think about it, in order for the tournament to be completely fair, the same rules that apply to us should apply to the bots as well.

2nd question I'm not sure. I don't think the 40% applies in the tourney.

The rules do apply to bots as well as you. I imagine you convert LFR to LF quite fast after an attack.

So it would be possible to skiver a bot down to low LF then do an ascended attack and the attack and defense of the bot would be significantly reduced then right?

Edit: All 11's are gone. Nothing but 13's and up now.

Should be yeah. Just remember the decrease in levels is only applicable under certain constraints.

The butcher killed me off while still active. Is this a glitch? Or favoratism towards other players? I think it is BS that the butcher got me within 3 hours of engaging another bot.

Not a glitch, not favoratism. Activity is not just gauged on when you last attacked, but what you did with that last attack.

I would accept that if butcher behavior has demonstrated that in the past. I will just assume I got a bad RNG and call it at that.

He has, maybe not to you, but I can assure you, he has hit me many times right after attacking in previous plagues before I adapted my strategy. Think I was chatting with Reborn about it while it was happening, so I am sure he can confirm the behaviour is nothing out of the ordinary.
