Kitsune-chan and Ex-terra continue their march toward the Big Ding. We wrapped up the Praetorian arc last night, defeating Tyrant with … well, I won’t say ease (he hits hard), but without any deaths (in that particular battle). We then stood around with Statesman and posed for many fun pictures.
Alas, I did not bring my HD that has said pix with me, so they will have to wait for another post. And, of course, Tyrant teleports out, so there’s no body to gloat over.
Anyway, we’re at 49.3 at the moment. Despite having gotten a couple of purple uber-IOs, they don’t work until 50, so (since we tend to retire characters at that point) I don’t expect we’ll get a lot from them.
Now, of course, I need to start considering who next to start moving on the March to the Top. Rita and Runt are in their low 40s (and seeing how some of these higher-level opponents can be handled with just two scrappers would be interesting). Gifted Kid and Special Educator are at 30 (and are Villains, which would add some novelty), And then we have a variety in their teens and twenties.
We’ll see. For now, glory awaits …
I think after a Controller/Scrapper combo, a scrapper duo into the AV arc will be something of a let down. Big damage simply isn’t enough against the big AVs.
