AQ AI Difficulty

_Barabbas_

*Disclaimer: I am an average player. Maybe slightly above average. I am not Seatin or in Omni.

My Alliance used to run AQs with 90% R5 4*, maybe a R3 5* sprinkled in. Depending on participation level, we could easily run a Map 5. Easily.

That was almost 1 year ago. So what happened? Map enhancers aside, It seems like a team of R5 4* would be lucky to finish a Map 4. They'd be more suited for a Map 3 these days.

Our Alliances have grown. We all worked hard to rank 5*s. With 90% R4 5* and a few R5s sprinkled in, we struggle with a Map 5. Still? I am certain we all gained skill over the year. But when you look at the Map, what used to have 8k HR Sentinals or Ultron bots, now has 11 to 13k HR symbioids.

What's with the AI difficulty getting cranked up? Can a brotha get ahead in this game? We all can't be Seatin. Some just want to be able to rank our roster and moderately increase our skill to progress into more difficult content.

The power level of AQ opponents scale with your alliance prestige, that's the difficulty increase you're experiencing.

Thank you. Makes sense.

To agree with you about the AI, it has seemed since the implementation of the modifiers that all include some form of degen, the AI seems to behave differently based on the kind of degen. IE bane ones will become more passive along with brute force, while the others seem to change based on how the degen will be placed on you. It seems every fight now I get degen placed on me at least once.
But to agree with Octoberstack the AQ nodes get "stronger" with the prestige increase of the alliance, so it's good to see higher numbers, better rewards.
