Best Of

Thanks to everyone who submitted data. Since score data is now slowing down, I thought I would post a summary of what I'm seeing so far. Based on the data from this thread, plus the data I collected from Discord, sent to me by @RichTheMan , and the data I saw posted by @ArenaKnight from Reddit and his own Discord, these are my current bracket cutoff estimates:

We have bullseyes on top 60 and top 2600 because we have submissions from people right at the boundary of those brackets. Most of the other estimates are fairly close because we have data above and below the bracket that confine the cutoff pretty closely. That's not true for 11-20; that is an interpolated guess. And all we know for sure is the 75% cut off was below 4200. Of course there's no cutoff for 100%. That's basically 1 point (you needed to participate)

Thanks to everyone who submitted scores. For those who want to submit, please do. I will continue to collect any scores posted in this thread, but I am going to start analyzing what I have for now. Anyone near the top or bottom of any bracket especially I would love to hear from you. That's players below 4000 points, that's players on or near any of the numbered top or bottom of bracket scores (i.e. if you ranked 11, or 20, or 21 or 30, or 31, etc. On or near would be useful for future reference.

Thanks to you and everyone else who took time to submit scores to me or Rich or ArenaKnight, I have over 500 data points and over 200 with ranks. For anyone who wants to see what 200 rank data points looks like:

The range of scoring and the number of players we have is so high, the only way to see the distribution in any reasonable fashion is on a log-log chart. For the economy geeks out there, it does indeed look very Pareto to me. In the upper left is USAFA with 3.5 million points and third place. I do not have data on #1 and #2 yet (USAFA himself disclosed his score and rank on one of his videos: give the guy a like and view: he may be a whale, but he could use some views after this year's banquet). Way down at the bottom right is someone who cleverly chose to score just 200 points on an alt and ranked 475,540. That's not necessarily the number of participants. There could be scores that either tied or were lower (believe me, it happens) but it is very close to my estimate of 485k participants this year (we estimate by looking at scores at or near bracket boundaries; if for example we knew the rank of the player at exactly the bottom of the 4-5% bracket, then exactly 20 times more players were in the event total).

Again, thanks to everyone who submitted scores. And if you have scores you think would be meaningful near cutoffs or below 4k, please continue to submit. Or if you just want to submit for posterity, I'll accept those as well. Once things completely settle down I will make all of this data available to anyone who wants it. I will probably post a link to it sometime next week once I've accumulated the last of the stragglers and vetted the data for errors and inconsistencies.

I hope everyone had a great banquet, and if you didn't get what you were hoping for, there's always next year. In that spirit I will be updating my unit guide for 2026 hopefully in the next week (it is actually what I'm going to be working on next, and then grinding through my banquet activity and revenue analysis).

Sounds like what he needed (although more would have been better 😉)

Summary of change points:

Phase up from 1.5s to 2s (which will make it easier to generate Furies, as described above)

Fury Potency up, total stacks down: overall same damage increase, but easier to access/sustain.

Fury duration increased from 20 to 22 seconds

Fury Pause on Miss increased from 5s to 8s

Power Burn on SP1 increased (minimally) from 35% to 40% of a bar of power

I would have loved the SP1 to be closer to 50% of a bar; but overall it sounds like a decent Tune-up and I'm looking forward to trying him out.

Armor break is almost worthless at this point. Nobody even gets armors anymore.

Woh what a "Buff" a few numbers change here or there and how does that materialised in gameplay…can bare see the different. That took a year, a full year!

While Spider Woman, took less than 3 months and removing one of her key abilities.

Then close the program just in time to save Dark Phoenix. The Banquet was amazing, but this, this still taste bitter.

Maybe every 20 titans opened could give a base pool selector or something along the lines of a jubilant crystal level of worth.

It’s actually quite easy to stay topped up on his Furies when pre-buff it was a chore, and his overall max ramp Fury benefit is seemingly higher too (even discounting the fact that pre-buff DVision wasn’t seeing max ramp a majority of the time). Better Heal Block too.

It’s just that even with the buff his damage is still kinda poor. I wasn’t expecting them to improve his power control like many others were, Kabam’s been pretty clear that he was a different take that was supposed to trade some of Vision’s (frankly insane) power control for phase utility and, like, actual damage, but he’s still not really delivering on that second part.

They addressed that this synergy is a continuation of the one before where pavitr does get a benefit

Thanks all. Sad to hear it - had my hopes too high apparently. Will still give him a try but looks like the banquet deathless sigs we got are going to DSH.

Worst buff of all time. Took 6 months to come up with that, man I'm dead.
