GO RES GO!! 💙
@NianticBrian Can we please reverse the prizes? Res always want more ADA and Enl always want more JARVIS.
(For some reason Niantic always think the opposite on virus).
Our community is thinking it's best to lose the event so we get more ADA.
Thats notntrue in my area, adas are pointless to me unless I want to flip an l8 portal im using from the other team, its jarvis my team needs most in my area so we can clear derp links
Everyone's mileage varies on the use/need of ADA or Jarvis, regardless of faction. In my community, we value Jarvis viruses more than ADA. And in general, Jarvis are more useful to RES and ADA to ENL. I think the prize allocation is fine as it is.
Bro, do you even play?
Hmmm you sure about this :D
Let's do this Fight Team "RES" for the WIN
If you virus the opposing faction's portal you get 0 AP, 0 resonators destroyed and 0 captures. Why would you do that?
In my six years of playing I have probably only used a handful of ADAs, except for fllipping up a portal to level 8 or gaining flip control of a portal.
I use ADA more often. But, I’m usually needing to flip a portal to clear links. I’m fine with either option honestly, but ADA would be nice
I'd move the quotation mark over past the "o"
From a Res PoV ADA are much more needed for flipping up portals usually.
Or rapid removal of blockers for ops.
If you are in a green P8 area they are also good for a rapid farm for more gear and no turret/force amp attack. Plus then Enl need to smash or flip em back.
If you need JARVIS your teams linking badly.
You don't need a flipcard to get a portal to your own faction - you have bursters & resonators for that. A flipcard may be faster and/or more convenient, but it's not necessary.
There are plenty of reasons you might want to flip a portal away from your own faction - clearing for fields is the most obvious (and no it doesn't mean your team is linking badly, it just means you have a friendly link in the way of what you want to do), but you also might want to flip a portal to protect it from attackers while you flash farm, or if you're trying to get a bunch of AP quickly (AP/field generators).
If you need to flip a portal away from your own faction, there is no way to do so without a flipcard (or I suppose a battle beacon, but you need to be level 16, you have to wait 3 minutes, and you have to pay money for it).
From the res perspective, ADAs are nice to have, Jarvises are essential.
I am very glad the rewards are designed as they are, and I am definitely hoping for a victory.
Pretty sure most Enl will just let Res win, even with no blue portals to flip. We've forced hundreds of ADAs on our portals with charging, we like them being more scarce.
Any chance we can get the details on this upcoming jarvis recipe? Would love to start stacking some extra or duplicating extras of anything we might need.
please... ;) ;)
Thursday. Don't know what time.
