RAID Fan-Fiction: Time's Up

by Madam Marvelous #26130The world, so far as I’d experienced it, could be a really fun place, a really sad place, an exciting place, and a truly horrifying place. Today was doing its best to create another version. Today, the world was a really, REALLY, F@%#ed up place.                 Why do I say that?                 What other way is there...

The Hanzo Ninja Clan School Of Anything Goes Martial Arts Lesson 8: Float Like A Butterfly. Sting Like A Bee.

Player ID 13807Now, it's easy to get caught in certain traps, like the one displayed in the previous 2 lesson chapters. In that one, we discovered that, counter intuitively, and opposite of what most people advise, it is often better to tier ones smaller cards rather than their stronger ones. Another trap one might face is deciding which cards to tier based on card type.What I mean is that a player may want to focus primarily on increasing their Move stat, for example. Naturally, they might think...

RAID Update: Father Time Deja Vu

Chaz Hamilton here, reporting to our Sentinel readers on the world's heroes being summoned to fight aboard the Stellar Arena yesterday...today... tomorrow???Details are fuzzy as to when the call actually went out. Even though I am reporting from the safety of the Command and Control deck, these so called 'temporal fractures' are causing some strange interference with the stations systems. And while in combat with the villain identified as Father Time, our heroes have been stymied at most efforts...

Heroes Rising Fiction: Grandfather Time Part 5

 The League Wars Orbital Arena was active with the lights aglow, but there were no spectators or hovering holo screens. A few people dotted the perimeter of the field while Chase stood in the center, holding a large watch in her hands.From here, the large fractures in time could be seen all over the earth. The chaos was unimaginable, time was imploding with no sense of past or present anywhere. The rifts would soon expand beyond Earth and the station would be overtaken by them.Chase wasn’t...

Heroes Rising Fiction: Grandfather Time Part 4

 Chase was taken aback so much that she nearly fell into Gar. He held her up and made sure she wasn’t too close to the clock.“MY GRANDFATHER! HOW?”Santa said, “the night we found you, after that fire broke out, I wasn’t aware that the fire was started by a scientist who was experimenting with dangerous items. He was possibly the most brilliant human alive for his time. However, his work was too dangerous, and he nearly got himself killed. He was selfish, cruel, and dangerous. But, he was also...

The Hanzo Ninja Clan School Of Anything Goes Martial Arts Lesson 6: Catching Flies With Chopsticks

Player ID 10950You may have heard that you should tier your best cards 1st and work your way down. This is only partially true. Obviously, you want the best cards you can get in your deck, and ideally have them all fully tiered. If your deck is only 5 of each card type for a total of 15 cards, as is in Duels, then it is fairly easy to tier 5 best of each card. Those 15 cards are all that are in your deck. The same holds true for events like Brawls, where you have 25 of each card type, for a total...

Heroes Rising Fiction: Grandfather Time Part 3

 Chase and Gar followed EB through the station to a set of elevators near the detention area. Each had to put in their own personal security code and then have their id checked by sensor. Once cleared, they were allowed in and zoomed down to a lower level deep in the bowels of the station.The air hung thick in the dark corridor that lit up at their presence. Only one door was secured at the end, with yet another double security check system. After clearing their id’s a second time, they were...

Heroes Rising Fiction: Grandfather Time Part 2

 Two weeks pass normally. The world remains almost oblivious to the time warp that nearly destroyed the planet. Only a select few among BADGE know of the alternate timeline that was created by Father Times’ attack.EB bounced around the Operations center with all the energy of a two-year-old toddler full of espresso.“I love New Years! It’s a great holiday, dontcha think? People celebrating, kissing...I love the kissing....I got a kiss from Chase last night. It was great, GREAT, GREAT!” He bounced...
