TFB - September Tower Event

Starting a new topic for the TFB squads for the next tower event.  Please state the squad you want to join and make sure you give me your forum and IGN as well-thanks.  Also, as this list is getting larger, make it easier for me to manage and try not to jump around too much.  Thanks.

Yeah, I'm in a wait and see kinda mood...

Im in and will play a ton of hours but not using any extra resources on tower run so put me where you see fit

I will be shooting for 200 or less, if the merc is good (and I still have alust's mercs) I might shoot for top 100.

I will be running floor 10 using regen and will capture 8 bosses if it is a useful one. No aim on rank.
 
If anyone wants to ally with me that is fine, if not that is also fine.
 
IGN: t0xin996

I m new to the forum. Have been playing the game since may. I m aiming for rank below 100 atleast.
Need good allies.

Same as DeadHead8.

im looking for tower allies looking to be under 100 (hoping lower) I have 79ps and 27be hit me up in game my name is fbjay. ps how much res do u think for a L?

Youll need more than that jay, top 10 takes about 350 res and thats falling in at 7-10

But yea you should deff do under 100 with that

I probably aiming for 100-150 again

I will farm floor 10 without additional resources unless event rare is good.

IGN: vvalkaitis

I will be going for under 200 unless the reward inspires me, then under 100. Will also try to pick up 8 of the capture if it is any good at all (at least to send to Belzarach if nothing else). IGN: AlakhaiVaynard.

Belzarach could use some allies too probably but I don't think he'll be able to farm past 6 or 7, I'm going to guess he won't place much higher than 500 - though I might send him some of my mercs to help him out, see if he can place a little higher. We'll see.

Looks like we're going to have several full squads. I say we go first come first serve in terms of who gets on alpha, betta and gamma squads, since everyone is shooting for around the same ranks.

Please add me to the mix. My goal is also <250
To figure out the points I put in the ally pool I would just take 10% of my total points ish?
Don't want to seem like I'm mooching off my allies.

^I typically subtract my ally points from my total points than take 10% of the remainder to get an estimate of how not-terrible I am.

Updated the top post. I sure hope this is not going to be like last time (i.e. trying to herd a bunch of cats). LMK if something doesn't look right to you.

I liked that thread a couple of Towers ago where everyone posted their Squad for Tower Level 10. I thought it may be helpful if we all posted our squads.

Mine:

DJ - Blue Bot - DJ - Blue Bot - Lilith

Back row is undecided but will experiment with combinations of Burnfrost, Tigrey, Keys, Buzzards and maybe Shellstinger for the bosses. Usually I run an incinerate which solves all my boss problems but he is out on loan to someone that is actually trying in this event.

Good Luck in next event guys, I will not be running, going on vacation. I just play for free stuff but nothing crazy or anything.

I will go with ATK squad:
W formation
Ultra Mutant - Primarch - Leader (Elliot) - Primarch - Ultra Mutant

Have you tried running that squad before?

I would have thought that it wasn't fast enough and might get beaten up a bit?

Can put me too in the alpha, just like last time

i have run that squad before and u take a beating on them. I used over 300 erks on 10 level. that is watching carefully on health of my mecs and using first aid kits as well. Its tough with that squad.

You shouldn't run a leader at all. One lucky shot and you lose the points on the fight and have to use an erk.

yeah i didnt use a leader mostly unless i had to just used a ultra on that. but still a tough squad to run. I used to many resources with that squad.

I have never tried to rank on tower properly, but depending on the state of my squad (due to loaning out mercs), I just run whichever level I can where I only use minimal erks and medkits. If you cannot run level 10 easily, I don't think it is worth aiming for a particular rank.

For most people it isn't worth spending any res on tower. Last Tower the R1 was that healer, which went for like 1 can each. So, if you were awarded 7 of them and you spent more than 7 resources then you were actually better off having just run tower on regen.

kompi=killkom

I'll be running M formation with Jackson Omega in the middle with two tideslayers to either side. I'll switch two Fistas in for the boss. The other two mercs will be leveling mercs.

If Alusteuphoric sells his stuff before tower is over, I'll be running V formation with Canis - Blue Bot - Wasteland Rider - Blue Bot - Samurai with Sam switching out for Mecha Horde for the boss.

Put Leader in back row (unless you don't have any other decent mercs) because if they die, you lose the fight.

Also, if your squad is mostly an ATK squad, you should have Brodey for your leader (1 400% ATK hit is better for raid boss than 3 100% hits).

add di11icious to gamma.

Add heptathlete to either gamma or beta. If someone else is hungry post them above me and leave me in gamma.

Hey guys - I'm back from vaca and ready for tower. Definitely going to be <250. Still space in Beta?

Update:

Allied with Di11icious

Invites sent to Heptathlete and AlachaiVaynard

I was already in FF when the event started and jumped on it pretty quick. was ranked number 2 for about a minute.  
Should have taken a screenshot.  

dont seem to have vvalkaitis yet you still in ?

Here's what I'm currently running in a v.  Any suggestions?

Suggestion: Try to get CXB-2000U's, if you don't have the resources for this, take another Blue WASP.
You can make a very nice raid squad for very low res. ( Wasp could be Wasp or CXB-2000U below )

B Wasp / XiaoTigrey v2 / B Wasp / Mecha Horde v2 / Leader
Switchblade v2 / Big Rig v2 / Keymaster v2 / Big Rig v2 / Keymaster v2

I just made a squad with mercs you already have, or mercs you could buy for a cheap price.
Making most of your squad AGI instead of using mercs such as Power Lancer v2.

I hope this helps you out ..

I accepted Raven and Nando's ally requests and sent a request to Zoar. Kompi, I tried to add you but it says you're already full?

I've got space for 2 if someone is missing one.

@Fresh.. that helps.  I was able to find a blue bot on the x that was just my price.  With that front line changes it doesn't seem to hit as hard as the line up I posted above.  Before I could knock them all out in the first round and now its going 2.  Do I need more hard hitting attackers instead?

Missing some from beta / gamma / or whoever. Need 2 also.

No f**king way!
I was try too adding you, and give me the same message. I have Raven and Nando, and request to Zoar too, and thats all, my another 2 place is empty.

Tried again, and got the message "reached their ally limit"

Hang on kompi. I've got a couple of pending requests open, and those will lock you from receiving any more. I think the max you can have for actual / pending / requests is something like 6 or 7.

If they don't grab them soon, kompi, I'll scrub them for this event and send you a request.

Hello, i know im a little late but im currently 43 looking to end up around low 100s. I need a couple of team mates interested. send me PM or add me in game: TECHRO

Thanks for directing me here Raven : )

This was meant for Raid Event mostly btw .. Best thing to go for on low level are Big Rig v2's, Keymaster v2's and CXB-2000U ( Wasps ).
Tigrey v2 ( if decent WIS lvl ) will give you a huge boost on raid. For PvP I'm running a very simple squad, but hasn't failed me yet untill I have to fight guys like duavae on winstreak 27.

CXB-2000U / Big Rig v2 / Big Rig v2 / Primarch v2 / Canis Bulwark v2

And this really isn't the best available squad, but when all buff and Big Rig v2's proc, you're dead. x)

Kompi, I tried again and it went through. I didn't know the invites other people sent you prevented you from sending/receiving more invites, that's kind of dumb.

Does alpha have a sixth man? Are we all just picking someone?

Jes, its seems to be, that was the reason. Its fully unlogical, but its works. I decline some, and its succeds.

Anyway, what you about the new event mercs? I think they are very disappointing...

I didn't see anything here for an alpha sixth man so I accepted a non-TFB invite.
